Hi I’m Griff Tannen,

I am often very impressed with the advice and information posted on DC. Many writings are an absolute pleasure to read and contain better information than any book. There are countless regular participants here who are very talented and gifted people.

I am not one of these people.

Most people don’t like me here on Dear Cupid, mainly because I give bad advise that nobody likes to hear. Just look at my rating.

In the past I have received personal messages from people calling me a jerk, a bastard, sexist bigot and so on. These people obviously did not appreciate my honest opinions, they preferred kind hearted bullshit.

If you’re one of these people who doesn’t like what I write, well you’re quite lucky because at least 2 thirds of my answers get blocked by the mods.

If all my answers got past the mods, then my rating would be 0.

However, I write in all honesty, and not in the generic bullshit that you often come across on DC.

So if you’re looking for good, decent, compassionate advice, don’t come crying to me, go see the others.

Griff.

A.   17 January 2018: In all honesty why should you even really care? This type of stuff will almost always end up on a porn site somewhere, one way or another. People filming their own sexcapades normally should know this. Mind you plenty of girls want to flaunt t... (read in full...)
