Using the term “Boi” in the Gay Dating Community

Boi-Be-Gone!

Who knows if I’ve complained about this before, but whatevs, some guys obviously need to hear it again. So listen up, bois, because I’m talking about you.

The term “boi” — ubiquitous in the gay hookup community — doesn’t bother me, in itself. I mostly associate it with twinks. Sure it’s a little creepy in a way, and goodness knows I don’t personally use the term because I also find it a little silly (don’t even get me started on the spelling.) It’s not like it makes me barf, though.

Here’s what does make me barf: guys who are well past boi-hood who continue to label themselves as such! Argh! What are you guys thinking?

  • You’re disguising your age?
  • Guys won’t notice that your profile pic was taken two decades ago?
  • “Boi” means anyone of the male gender?
  • What, what?!

Snap out of it, the delusion ends here.

If you are experiencing any of the following…

  • age over 22
  • grey hair
  • bifocals
  • saggy balls
  • and, probably, a job

…then you are NOT allowed to call yourself a boi.

Guy, man, dude, whatever. Not “boi.” Please don’t make me come after you.

Maybe you were once a boi (ah, weren’t we all!) and simply need to update your profile handle. That can happen (go update it now!). But I see way too many “boi”s online over and over and over and over again — surely they’re not aging at a slower rate than the rest of us.

Really, I mean, it’s not like I’m setting out to be rude here. Think of it like this: wouldn’t you want someone to tell you when you have spinach in your teeth, or a booger? I’d hope so. I certainly would.

Because you reallyreallyreally need to understand that, if you’re over-the-age-of-twink and insist on still calling yourself boi, well, we’re laughing at you.
