I can't be the only one who finds the use of the term 'apply' a bit odd in the context of approaching someone for a meet.... It pops up in various profiles with things like 'only bi/straight/black/white/hairy/smooth/bearded etc guys need apply'. What are they applying for..?? Is there an interview..?? Are there competencies..?? Do you need references..??!! Just seems a strange phrase to use.... |

I don't use the term 'apply' but in a sense it's correct I think.
If a guy messages me I am going to chat for a bit and ask some questions. It's like a mega informal 'interview', as I am trying to suss out if he'll be worth meeting.
I realise some people skip this phase and go straight to sex but I'd think most try to find out a bit about their potential meet first? |

"We have had a few meets where we thought we were being interviewed and on one occasions thought we might be asked to fill out some disclaimer forms.  "
I make everyone sign an NDA to stop anything getting back to Santa |

There are. And those are the ones I'm referring to. If you're using 'apply' then why not just hold a hoop out for people to jump through, put obstacles out to be conquered or set some kind of mission to complete..??!!
Although if doing the last one make sure the message won't self destruct, might take some explaining...  |

"You definitely won't like my profile then...
Apply? Did I miss that bit?
No; but I set the tone by describing profiles as "sexual CVs"....
Told you before I am willing to make exceptions  "
I'm very glad that you do. |

Why not? I expect a CV to ensure the applicant is an intelligent professional!
