west side reprezent? kids these days...
Image below found on Bigmuscle.com. Can somebody explain to me what his finger gesture means? Is he having a painful cramp in his hand?
Perhaps he's learned a new Vulcan hand meditation ritual to stave off Pon-Farr? It looks like it hurts, or that you have to twist your fingers just to reprezent. Does it mean 'W' as in West Coast? So conceivably, being from Wisconsin, I could do the same finger positioning, but at 90-degrees and reprezent my state? I'm going to Provincetown this summer - is it important to learn how to do this gesture before I go? Do all the gay boys in Chelsea do this hand gesture? Have I finally completely fallen out of the gay subculture, being so ignorant of these important displays of communication? Will doing this hand gesture eventually lead to arthritis, especially since I'm of such advanced age to be so ignorant of such hand gestures?
Has anyone else noticed that on Friendster, that on profiles of all the gay youngsters is that it is definitely NOT cool to have a photo of yourself with other gay men - your photos must only show you with your female friends. Is this to show what a playah you are? Are photos of you with your gay friends "too gay"?
I add this to Mr. Bartender's observation:
"The likelihood of a guy to be involved in the circuit scene is directly proportional to the number of shirtless friends in his Friendster profile."
Or the howabout Beaverhausen observation regarding the "It's Complicated" relationship status tag on Friendster, which I assume usually means you're a mess or a Republican?
What other observations have we made about Friendster profiles? Discuss.

I wish to add that all the gay youngsters seem to smoke and need everytime a cigarette and a cup of coffea when they get up in the morning, because it-is-so-hard-to-give-up-smoking... I can't help... this attitude makes me smile :o) I used to drink milk when I was a teenager. I never dared to think about cigarettes or coffee. Got my point?

I never notice anyone younger than me so I couldn't say. However I believe your thesis may be correct as the active duty boys seem to do that a lot. I hate the white boy gang sign thing, unless done with complete and utter irony and subtitled.
You'll apparently have to buy lots of "bling" to fit in it appears. Go through all your female relatives jewelery boxes, just like your pictured "boi" did.

Please, no dangling earrings. That's just wrong, especially if they have feathers.

He's imitating his tattoo.

Actually, on the trial I just sat through for 12 weeks, the prosecutors contended that is the hand symbol for the M Street Crew formally of 18th and M in NE DC.
That's not the first place I've seen it outside the courtroom though.

Perhaps he is paralyzed. In which case y'all should be ashamed of poking fun at the invalid.

its a handsign for "westside"
commonplace for gang members

I dont think its Pon Farr
I think its some sign language code for "Hey look at me I'm cool, but I'm really not cool" either thay or its really really really bad arthritis :-)

I think that's the new form of circuit boy communication that he's a top at fisting. Since "tina" has rendered most of their nether region's gaping, the expanded fingers and jewlery give that extra sensation. Hence he's butch.

This is going to be my new "look" for summer.

I take it these guys are gay. So, if the hand sign is gang related does it follow that they are in a gang or just gang wannabees? I wonder if there are any gay gangs and I don't mean bar cliques.
Maybe it's just me but this look is just getting so tired. Looking forward to the next fad.

Gay gangs? I'm sure their colors have to do with the hanky code.
