Unusual social disorder that plagues mostly damaged,
homosexual males. In it, the affected individual falls madly in-
love with his victim on the first date; spending much of the
night looking starry-eyed into his face
like a wounded puppy. Sappy texts follow the date such as "You're
amazing" and "I had the best night ever!". The affected individual is clear in his intention that he'
s completely "ready" for a relationship and not a game player
like the others. He begins using futuristic descriptors such as "when you're my
boyfriend" and "when you start staying the night" and corny phraseology such as "I need to see you again for my own selfish purposes". This type of unusual activity lasts anywhere from 24 to
72 hours but usually not more then three days. During this period one or two additional dates
may follow but interest for the victim wanes dramatically. The drop-off usually occurs when his victim displays such unsavory traits such as an unfiled fingernail or an eyebrow hair that has gone awry. Perhaps the victim makes mention that he refrains from eating steak or the horrifying revelation that he is simply a regular, nice
guy and not some mythical "night in shining armor" figure the affected individual has fabricated in his own mind. Ultimately, the victim is simply blown-off by the affected individual within the three-day period never to be heard from again. Some victims (who buy into this behavior in any degree) are left with a sense of confusion, hurt, and anger.
"Hey Jack, how are things going with that
guy you'
re dating"?
-"Oh man, the
guy was a total freak. I really thought he was into me with all those lovey-dovey texts but he just blew me off after our second date. I have no idea what happened...he just did this 180 on me for no reason at all.
"Dang..I'm really sorry Jack. Sounds
like a textbook case of that gay social disorder I read about. Islas Syndrome, right?"
