Mark is kind of a jackass

Agreed. Mark is a little bit awful, going by those answers.

this is my favorite Hooksexup feature right now (I am much less impressed by a lot of the other ones)

Mark is 20 -- of course he's a jackass. Using the word "disgusted" seemed like a poor choice. Also he gives off an "I will find out I'm gay in the next few years" vibe.

Plaid needs to go out of fashion again, and quickly...

Why is everyone an artiste for a living? Designer, illustrator, music producer...doesn't anyone who lives in NYC (right?) do anything, you know, normal for a living?

Not if your parents pay the rent.

Mark is disgusted by a woman's leg muscles

Don't be silly. If the interviews had been done in the financial district, you'd be asking, "is everyone in New York a sleazy banker." The Brooklyn Flea Market is in Fort Greene, which is blocks from Pratt, which is probably why they're all a bit arty / students.

Love the phrase "it was Cupid arrows from there." Too bad you're married, John!

Thank the lord for Marian's ex. I feel like less of a creep!

@ RM - what did YOU do, dude?!

these ladies have had a lot of asshole, crazy ex boyfriends! this is actually making me appreciate my ex, who wasn't so bad. though he did spend a lot of weekends drunk and only eating peanuts.

I would get kinky with Amanda, too bad she ain't down with that.

A woman with strong legs? Send her this way!

Whoa dude, Jason's kind of a creeper. But I'd still do him.

@ BM (nice initials) - Jason does seem like a creeper. Not that I know exactly what a creeper is. But he has nice eyes. I found myself liking him, despite his swinger parties! And his flannel.

People are so freaking nit-picky....no bed sweaters, no strong legs, blah, blah, blah....maybe they should just date blow-up dolls.

Guys that like strap-on play from women are usually heterosexual. If a guy is bi, that means he's going to go out and get a guy sometimes, not necessarily ask his girlfriend to use a toy.

Is John one of those... what do you call it...one of those nice, decent guys?

Hey - Sarah is really cute.

The world needs more Johns, less Marks and Jasons. 'I don't *only* date Asian girls'-- said like a man sweating with yellow fever.

Mark is a dbag but i think it's kind of funny. Being 20, I guess is a large part of that.

PO, I agree with your analysis of Mark, totally OTM. Marian is cute, and even in my appropriate age range! Possibly a first for this feature.

Yep. Agree with PO about Mark. Didn't figure out he was disgusted by her until he was "in the bedroom?" That's because he's looking for a cock. That was my story...

How come everyone is a fucking artist? Where the hell do you people go to meet all the fucking artists in New York? What was this an artist convention?

The signs are all there. Couldn't figure out why he was disgusted when he tried to have sex with his girlfriend, until he figured "Oh, it must be her defined leg muscles." (?) Then, it takes him 45 minutes to get off when his new girl is blowing him in an elevator. (??)

The 45 minute blowjob sounds anything BUT awesome for the girl. Seriously? No reciprocation? I hate Mark. I know he's 20, but he seems to have some major issues about sex and women.

As a rower I know where mark is coming from. I like the girls who row but the way he talks he is a coxswain, they have no filter, it's part of their job to be critical.

And LJ, there's nothing wrong with a little quote-unquote "yellow fever." We can't -- nor should we try to -- tell ourselves that a person should not be attracted to a certain group of people because of the color of their skin, their religious beliefs, their age or nationality. Bigotry is wrong. The heart wants what it wants. And that sideways pussy is dyy-noo-miite!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finished with Mark's and was wondering when he would put two and two together and realize he's gay. When you come out...give me a call.

"My dad ain't a cell phone"

These photos are hurting my eyes (and not in a good, "hipster aesthetic" kind of way). Please teach your intern how to use the exposure settings and white balance on your point and shoot digital camera.

Okay, I don't /like/ Mark. but I don't really think he's gay. He wants to date a girl who ways less than him, because he can't feel sexy and comfortable in his own skin unless he can feel like the more "masculine" one in every way possible. That's not that uncommon. It's like how I'm really tall, and a lot of shorter guys wouldn't be comfortable dating me. Maybe he wasn't that attracted to her to begin with -he said he had trouble with girls, so maybe he decided to get with her because she was the first girl who was clearly willing to sleep with him... then he realized that the physical attraction just wasn't there. That happened to me with my first guy, actually. I was trying to have sex with someone I wasn't attracted to, so it didn't work. Next guy, physical attraction was much higher.

oh come on, people are allowed to have deal breakers without being an asshole. and i must say, Jason is quite the catch and i'm a petite asian girl! tehe

ML, for how long are you looking at the pictures? People don't buy point and shoot cameras so they can fuss with exposure settings and white balance.

Yeah, I don't think Mark's gay at all. He's 20, and hot actually. Give him a few more years and he'll be ready to throw down...

Who the hell PISSES IN A SHAMPOO BOTTLE then gives it to his girlfriend? That is some fucked up shit right there.

20 or not, he's obviously an asshole and a loser. The story about his friend and that girl? WTF

Jason is more of a dbag than mark, mark is 20

I'd have to admit as a man that Amanda was right about men using some women on the back burner.

amanda you were right on about men keeping women on the back burner.

Sarah's photo looks oddly two dimensional...like she is an Amy Adams cardboard cutout.
