What does "jock" in a profile mean?

Usually means that the C on their keyboard types a J

If you regularly say "dude" or "bro", you're a jock.

He's a flimsy piece of fabric that wraps around dick.

You aren't really a jock if you 1) don't play hoops at least once a month; 2) don't lift weights (even golfers and tennis players do now); 3) watch ESPN about every day; and 4) know how to throw a football properly. If you watch Bravo or Lifetime or listen to Lady Gaga, you are NOT a jock.

It means he's not that childish epithet.

"Jock" is code for "manly on the streets, bottom in the sheets"

Don't bring it up on the DL. You will be attacked. The "J" word is indeed a four letter word here.

[quote]know how to throw a football properly.

There you go picking on Tim Tebow again just because he can't get the football to go where it's supposed to go. He's still learning to be a jock.

When someone on a gay site says jock they often mean it differently than the mainstream widespread understanding. So many gay guys claim to be jock, yet they can't tell you which teams are in the NBA Conference finals, or, they haven't shot hoots in years or thrown a football. A lot of gay guys have a very unusual definition of jock.

They're saying they're straight acting.

I don't consider myself a jock but I get jock itch from exercising.

[quote]So many gay guys claim to be jock, yet they can't tell you which teams are in the NBA Conference finals, or, they haven't shot hoots in years or thrown a football. A lot of gay guys have a very unusual definition of jock.

There is a lot of truth to that. A lot of gay guys mean the word jock just in the sense that they are athletic and like to work out/be active on a regular basis. Not that complicated really.

Mom always said if you can't be an athlete, than be an athletic supporter.

Jock really is effete with a bit of butch affect.

And a lot of gay dudes mistake the word jock with fit or muscular. Also, most people don't think you're a jock if your only sports activity is lifting weights or running/jogging.

In reality, it doesn't mean anything but will impress the gullible.

Here's a thought for you really fit dudes.

I'm glad you've got a fit, buff, rockin' bod. Really I am.

But there's nothing more boring than hearing about committed you are to your workout. And the details of your workout. And your diet. I don't ever need to hear about how hard you work to look this good.

Imagine a beautiful straight girl who thought it was delightful to regale her dates with details of her makeup, her fashion choices, her change in hairstyle, etc. She'd bore men beyond endurance, no matter how hot she was.

Look great. Enjoy the attention. And shut the fuck up.

R17 kindred spirits

Is this you R17?

But most fit muscular bisexual and gay jocks are only into other fit muscular jocks, so they would tend to like talking about working out, fitness, diet, supplements, and bicep size.

"Jock" - Somebody who's too good for you, and wouldn't give you the time of day.

If you mince around and lisp, you don't have to ask. That is why 'mos aren't jocks

Has a fungal infection

It means a spandex caftan

It usually means they are very old themselves or are trying to attriact the very old. See also Hot, Stud, Straight Acting,

d

It means someone who wears a ballcap and athletic shoes.

"Jock" means they're athletic enough to put their feet on the ceiling OR the wall the minute you both hit the mattress.

It means the guy listens to "Car Talk" on NPR.

it means they wear a baseball cap and think they look all athletic.

I find it means "I used to be an athlete in school, but I've let my body go." People who still work hard on their bodies describe themselves as "athletic" which means they work out but don't play sports.

R10 gets it. I love a guy that doesn't act effeminate. Can't stand the limp wrist, or the whiny girly voice. I love jocks.

They like taking care of themselves enough to run, lift weights or play sports in their spare time. Usually paired with formerly being on a sports team and having some athletic experience. You could ask a jock about your workout routine, and they would be interested enough to give you pointers and listen to you without getting too bored. Jocks also tend to be weight conscious.

It means the same thing it does with straight guys - a lot of wishful thinking about how athletic they are but if anything they just watch sports.

Like most things in life you find that people who feel compelled to state what otherwise would be obvious do so because it usually isn't true.

r31, many dudes who work out also currently play sports. A huge number of people lifting weights also shoot hoops just as much or more at my gym.

also, in the US, people associate jock with people who play team sports, such as football, basketball, hockey, and baseball. Therefore, people usually don't think of golfers, swimmers, and tennis players as jocks. However, boxers and wrestlers are considered jocks.

"many dude who work out" = fat queen with a cat named Misty.

On A4A, it specifically means an athletic guy who wants only to have sex with other jocks.

I find guys who call themselves 'athletic' instead are more open to dating different types of guys.

[quote]However, boxers and wrestlers are considered jocks.

I consider pro wrestlers to be beefy actors.

R37 Her name is Mama - Mama's Mussy!

Ugh, "straight acting." Hate that term.

When you have a BIG FAT COCK IN YOUR MOUTH/ASS, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, straight about it.

I love the guys who want to be 'discrete', 'discreat', or 'discreet'...

Translation: Heavily closeted, and will likely freak out if you try to blow him.

Don't forget the "I'm curious" person who then claims he only bottoms. Um, if you're that far along, you're no longer just curious.

It is an annoying term R41, but there really isn't a set term for people who aren't noticeably/stereotypically gay so a lot of people still use it.

Most of the self-procliamed "jocks" I run across online are fat. And no, the jockstrap pic doesn't fool me into thinking differently.

real jocks don't wear jockstraps unless they are in the act of playing sports. and today, most wear compression shorts instead.

Does this pic of me holding a football make me look like less of a bottom?

(R6) You are sooooo bad...and I love it!!!!! Right on!!! Their legs go up in the air faster than a 747.

It's code for delusional douchebags like R22 and R32 looking for somebody way out of their league.

Thread closed.

It means that he was my HUSBAND!

Jock means they pride themselves on being able to talk with straight guys using statistics to mask hero worship.

It means they wear their pants low with a gut and love handles lapping over the waistband because they insist on purchasing the same size pants as they did in college. Only now they sit for a living: sit at a desk, sit to drive back and forth to work, and sit in front of the television.

Mostly it means that they will mimic their parents' facial expressions when you act in a less than manly manner.

A jock is a professional athlete.

THREAD CLOSED.

It means 20 pounds overweight.

[quote]in the US, people associate jock with people who play team sports, such as football, basketball, hockey, and baseball. Therefore, people usually don't think of golfers, swimmers, and tennis players as jocks. However, boxers and wrestlers are considered jocks

That's right, bithes! I proudly identify as a jock on a4a!

If you had a full-ride athletic scholarship in college, you are a jock. All these other "jocks" online are just sports fans or fitness buffs. No scholarship, not a jock.

I like that definition, r55.

Except...many of them don't appear to be fitness buffs! At all.

I still remember meeting a guy who said he was a jock, had been an athlete in college and had a "football player build" The picture in his online ad was hot…a beefy, solid guy.

We met and clearly, the photo was at least 10 years old. He was so fat that his shirt didn't cover his belly. I told him point blank "sorry, but you completely misrepresented yourself" and walked away. (He reacted with a string of nasty names, of course.)

Learned my lesson on that one for life.

If you don't know how to properly throw a football and don't watch ESPN a lot, you can't be a jock.

R58 sounds like a peach. A rotten, elderly peach.

It's an identity marker in the gay world, but it's as meaningless as "bear".

Jock usually means a hot guy into sports.

jock = fat guy who doesn't wear women's panties

[quote]jock = fat guy who doesn't wear women's panties

I think you mean toward straight guys, when they get older and stop taking care of themselves.

Actually when a guy describes himself as bear, he is usually accurate. However, most gay dudes who describe themselves as "jock" would be laughed at in mainstream society if they presented themselves as a jock. You can't be a jock and be into Madonna and Lady Gaga. Just sayin....

The way to ensure that you don't get an out of shape "jock" is to specify that you are looking for an athletic "GYM jock." If a dude hasn't been to the gym this week, he probably does not have the fit physique most people looking for jocks want.

R65 the kind of music you listen too has nothing to do with being a Jock or not. I excelled at sports my whole life and playes baseball ib high school, I work out 5 days a week and can bench 285lbs all my friends are straight guys and when I tell people I'm gay they think I'm fucking with them and don't believe me and I happen to love Madonna.

R67's flames can be seen from space.

Self-loathing.

R68's ass can be seen from space.

r67, either you are the rare exception or you are not as masculine as you think you are.

[quote]when I tell people I'm gay they think I'm fucking with them and don't believe me

The fantasy is strong with this one.

I've been described as a Jock Strap, because I hang around your cock and balls like the real thing.

I love how some guys on here can't believe that a guy can be "masculine" and fit in great with straight guys and still be proudly gay. Not all of us ping y'know.

1) Decent body

2) Not FM-in-8

Closeted!

I think it's a butch euphemism for a gay guy who's butt is all stretch-out and stinks. Granted this simply deduction from all the jocks I've dated.

My first thought is: a guy in his 30s-40s, goes to the gym every now and then but not particularly athletic, owns some A&F clothing in which he'll pose for his CL photo, an inevitable baseball cap handy to cover a receding hairline, looking to attract some college varsity jailbait. Is convinced that all the people in his suburban office think he's a straight stud even though everybody knows he's gay.

r74, all gay guys ping. It's not an option, it's standard equipment. But, if it makes you feel better to believe that, go ahead, there's no penalty for fooling yourself.

You are not a jock if you haven't watched ESPN today or can tell me who won Sunday and tonight's NFL games.

t

It means "I am masculine and mainstream, a dude who no one would think is 'gay.'"

G

It means I am not a fem stereotype.

bi

It is code for normal masculine dude

Real jocks played team sports in high school.

Most gays were not jocks.

Most gay jocks are bisexual and don't identify as "gay"

Jock is used very, VERY loosely almost to the point of it being laughable. It's almost as bad as the fat asses saying they are "football players".

Beware of the term " football build" Ask what position? A tight end like Rob Gronkowski? A quarterback like Cam Newton? Wide receiver like Eric Decker?

Are grown ass "Men" still holding on to that label? LMAO......Oh, "White America" you crack me up!

The term jock is somewhat dated and stereotypically when used in a gay context. Today, guys use updated code words ton convey the same meaning, such as "athletic," " loves sports," " laid back," "chill dude," or " masculine bro." There is just a general overall attitude conveyed by certain words that jocks use.

It means he presses flowers into Bibles, Rose!!

Any guy who uses "football build" in one of those ads is FAT.

Yeah, avoid football builds.

It means that his photo will include a baseball cap used to cover an increasingly large bald spot, an Abercrombie T-shirt from circa 2002 which once used to fit but is now hugging those love handles a bit too tightly, and that he's using the vocabulary nobody who is over 23 and is not a complete douchebag would use ("chill", "bro", etc.)

It means "I am masculine, athletic, mainstream, and popular with the bros."

Jock fulfills the sexual fantasy. They cater to it. And what it in return.

However, the ones that go around and say they want someone "educated" I feel is to avoid the label of shallow.

Usually, the descriptor "educated" means a lot of things to a lot of people. Just because you have a "degree" in something, it doesn't mean you are highly enlightened or brilliant, and want someone else to be the same. You can get a BA in finger painting of you wanted at the college level or BS in exercise. This is a paid educational system, where you buy a degree. Mostly.

The guys with the muscles and a college degree hold themselves too high in esteem.

R19, could they get the most stereotypical gays on that panel? The blond guy with too much product in his hair and the major gayvoice and gayface, the guy with the lisp and gesticulations, etc.

Jock orginally was a term used for fit guys 18-24. Now you see fat 30 year olds using the term because the clicker got stuck on ESPN and they were too lazy to get off the couch to change the channel manually.

.

It means MASCULINE and sports-loving.

It typically means delusional on a variety of levels.

not

nump

It means no one ever suspects I am gay because I am so masculine and mainstream.

What R103 and 106 said.

Just be wary if the word "football" is ever in front of the word "jock".

It means, "I played a middle school or high school sport for one or two years and I then quit.", and "I think I'm hot".

It means they are more fit and won't embarrass the shit out of you in public, just to be seen together.

In online jargon, jock = fat slob who played JV football in high school

hot

MASCULINE

masculine and mainstream bro

Online jocks are either heavier guys or models. There is no in between with online jocks.

It means masculine, dudely, mainstream, normal, all-man.

If you can refer to yourself or your friends by using the word "dude" without laughing hysterically at yourself, you at least say you [italic]wish[/italic] you were a jock.

I watch ESPN a lot.

Masculine for masculine

It means you are mainstream , masculine, love sports, and no one would even suspect you are gay or bi.

"No one would ever think I am not straight."

Using the word jock in this context is dated on dating sites. It has been replaced by new, more nuanced codes, such as filling your profile with "dude, "bro," and "Brah, " or mentioning all the team sports you play, or your music taste.

Jock means they're a bit taller than average and own a baseball cap.

Football build means fat.

It is cold for normal masculine, athletic, sportsloving, unclockable, no one would ever suspect they are into dudes because they are one of the bros.

Hip and knee replacement.

And it's supposed to stay cold until next week, R124. Better wear your ballwarmer.

BTW, what's "unclockable"?

The word 'jock' in a M4M format is meant to imply 'athletic'. The actuality is slightly different though, isn't it ?

What is "KELT"?

Whenever I get confused by someone's presence at a gay bar, or something he wear, or something he puts in his profile, I have to remind myself, "he wouldn't do it unless it worked."

Don't point the finger at the guy dropping the word "jock" in his profile. He figured out it gets him laid and that's that.

Go masculine or go home

Jock

For gay men, jocks are almost always muscular with low body fat and attractive. A jock can be of any age but are generally thought to be somewhat younger because their athletic abilities. Jocks are usually linked to actively playing sports. Years ago, the term "Jock" used to have a negative connotation in the straight world. For gays, to be called a jock is a compliment. An example of a jock body type would be David Beckham, the English born football (aka soccer) player.

A lot of gay guys have special definitions of jock that do not conform to the mainstream definition, and therefore, tend to disappoint people on personals sites who meet them with the mainstream definition of jock. In mainstream society, a jock usually is good at one of the big popular team sports such as football, hockey, basketball, baseball, and soccer. Lacrosse players can also be considered jocks because they play an aggressive team sport. Correspondingly, people expect jocks to be very masculine in the mainstream sense, very Alpha Male. There are also other indicators of Jock status, such as language (bro, dude, brah), clothing (Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, beanie hats, baseball caps), and music (hip hop and rock).

Means a bro or brah

a dudebro

I think "jock" in online world means that the person thinks they are masculine.

I'm shocked at how many people have no idea that how they come across in real life doesn't match the description

real jocks play sports.

Gay "jock" lift weights so you think they play sports.

It means they pretend to be butch & have played sports.

However, they're referring to jacks, synchronized swimming & double Dutch rope jumping as sports.

uh "butch?"

it means they're just normal brahs that like the cock, no homo, brah

r141, some of them are legit jocks. I have met some dudes from Craigslist, et al, who are college football players, basketball players, and baseball players.

R142, it means there are a lot of delusional twats on CL, claiming they're "masculine" and "jocks" but in reality they are neither.

f

It's about outfits.

I think after a certain age (any age after 25) that a man should not use the word "jock". It's comes across as high schoolish to me.

People use it to send a message that they are fit, and athletic. Or, that they are masculine. The problem is that in many cases they are not. A man should just say that they play sports, or that they're athletic. How ridiculous is it for a fifty year old refer to himself as a jock.

Now, this does not mean that they shouldn't post on realjock.com, or other sites like that, but grow up! ...we're not in high school.

It means masculine bro

I don't associate "jock" with high school R146 - wondering if others do.

For me, it's code for "people meeting me for the first time don't immediately wonder if I'm gay" but I find a lot of guys play fast and loose with that term.

Other similar words dudes use are "normal," "masculine," or "bro."

It means he's a brainless oaf.

Aren't they the little guys riding the horses?

Brightly-colored and overpriced underwear, usually.

what, r152?

From the men I've been with on Adam4Adam it seems to mean: "just open culo kwickly".

It indicates arrested social and psychological development in anyone over the age of 25 who still uses it.

It means dudebro

d

Jock is old school. Now guys say "dude," "bro," or "bruh" as code to signify masculinity. Black and Latin dudes often say "nigga."

It should mean you look like this

so, so hot r159

Amazing R159. You done good there :)

Well judging by jock Bruce Jenner, it means you want to be a woman. Or by jock Michael Phelps, that you want to be a pothead.

R159 Who is that? Random guy or porn star? Jesus, he's hot.

That I played a sport in elementary school or middle school and quit around the age of 12.

r1 it would spell out jojk.

the term has been supplanted by "jock," "bro," "dude," "normal," etc

it means you're a HOT Bisexual Aussie Soldier

I think there's a certain age that men should stop referring to themselves as jocks. It's ridiculous.

"Jock" in a CL listing in Washington DC means the guy wants to attract Aaron Schock.

R159. Once again, who is the guy in the picture? Random Tumblr pic or what?

R164 is right on the money!

Me and my bisexual best friend/roommate actually just got in from playing baseball with a couple of other guys at the park right by my house, when I read this thread and cracked up laughing!

I even asked my bi best bud if he ever refers to himself as a "jock" and he started laughing and was all like "Fuck No, maybe if you played team sports in high school, but not if you're a grown ass man".

I'm as 100% gay as can be and I've ALWAYS been into sports and can play e era sport

R172 continued every sport except basketball and I've NEVER referred to myself as a "jock"

It's the delusional gay men, who would go ducking and running like a scared little girl at my 90 MPH fastball, who refer to themselves as a "jock"

Gay men are so (unintentionally) funny sometines.

The term is sort of out of style today.

It means the guy wants you to know that a purse doesn't fall out of his mouth when he talks and that he knows which of the local sports teams plays football as opposed to baseball.

When used on hook-up sites, the description turns out to be accurate maybe 50% of the time.

If you are gonna claim to be a jock, at least look and act like this dude.

It means everyone thinks he's straight, and he's hot as fucking hell, although he may be fit-fat by his late twenties.

Anyone over thirty who calls himself a "jock" is likely a lardass.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU READ A THREAD IN BETA?

R163 and R170, that picture is clearly edited.

Here's the real photo; pretty sure it's some random guy.

Thanks R179. Wow, I want him deeply in my mouth right now.

Jock = Pussy Hound.

Jock = I will show up at your house in a baseball cap to hide my face after I told you I was 28 but I'm really 53.

R179 is what people expect when you say "jock"

It means you like playing with balls.

Normal

He'd qualify I believe.

Jocks don't call males "girl," care about divas, or act bitchy/catty.

It means they never set off anyone's gaydar. People assume they are straight and mainstream.

I am amazed at how many gay guys who describe themselves as "jocks" on sites/apps also have very effeminate, unjock-like traits on their profiles. How you gonna call yourself jock and have a pic or reference to Beyonce, Nikki Minaj, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, or Lady Gaga on your profile? Are how you gonna be a jock and be catty/bitchy on your profile? It's like some gay guys don't realize what the mainstream definition of a jock is.

Buff jocks (football, basketball, hockey, Baseball) have always (post 1920) been considered the hottest, manliest dudes. Then military guys.

If you are claiming to be a jock, at least be able to credibly shoot hoops with me and my bros without looking stupid. Also, if you claim to be a jock, and I go to your house and ask to watch ESPN, you should be able to click to it without having to look up what channel it is on.

I work out regularly and look athletic, but in no way am I a jock. In all my years I've never known a gay that plays basketball or football. Baseball, maybe, and volleyball. Basketball? NEVER. Only lesbians that I've known have played basketball.

I have never considered military guys hot as a class, R190. Some are, some aren't, just as in real life. I mostly see them as victims, fighting in an unnecessary war, which gets in the way of my perceiving them as "hottest" or "manliest."

In personals, true "jocks" usually don't call themselves jocks. They usually tell you their interests (sports, sports, sports) and let you label them accordingly. Also, a lot of gay men define jock a lot differently than everyone else, which can lead to disappointment for prospective dates.

Yep!

Athletic and Manly

Most overused word on gay apps

Allegedly means "if you met me and I didn't check you out, you'd think I was straight" but that's often not the case.

If you claim to be a jock and you can't instantly locate ESPN on your tv selection, you're lying

If you want me to believe you are a jock, why were you blasting Beyoncé, Niki Minaj, Gaga, or gay club music in your car when we met?

If people on the street think you are probably gay, you're not the jock type

Loves and plays the big male team sports

It means normal and masculine

The good folks over at Gay Pop Buzz asked different guys to define what “jock” means to them. Let’s take a look at some of their responses…

Mike, 30, defines a jock the most literally:

I work out a lot at the gym and prefer to meet guys who do the same. So when I put that in my description [gay jock] it’s my way of letting people know my body type and what I’m looking for.

Bruce, 36, has a similar but slightly different interpretation:

When I was in high school and college, I used to play different sports. I’m still active at the gym five days a week and play volleyball. So yeah, to my mind, I feel OK with calling myself that.

Then there’s Dan, 27, who says “jock” is less of a physical trait and more of a behavioral one:

It’s simple. When I use the term [gay jock] it means that I am a masculine guy and that I prefer to hook up with guys who are the same. It means you act like a man.

Steven, 38, says it’s a term used to describe one’s member:

It should be obvious. A jock is a masculine top that has a nice size d***! If you look at my profile, I tell everyone I’m 9 with a built body. Do you want to hook up so I can show you?

Meanwhile, Keith, 25, says a jock is someone who wants to be discreet:

When you see that word [jock] it means the guy is guy isn’t out. Only my close friends know I am gay but nobody else does. I’ve always used it to let people know I’m not open to everyone. I just like getting BJ’s anyway. Am I doing it the wrong way?

Jimmy, 41, somehow associates a jock with being… a pig?:

I’m into piggy and like guys who let me breed them out. Guys I usually hook up with like a nice, thick load from someone athletic. So in my bio, that’s why I have jock. It’s worked well ever since I’ve put it in there.

And then there’s Scott, 42, who says “jock” just means a guy who likes to watch football and stuff:

I’ve always thought it meant you were into sports and watched ESPN. I don’t work out as much as I used to but I still go to the gym. I still play tennis. Should I take it out of my profile?

How do you define the word “jock” on a dating profile? Share you interpretations in the comments…

Mmmmm

Uh huh

My type

It means a dude like this

[quote]What does "jock" in a profile mean?

The last time you played sports you were seven—and you quit half way through the season.

Example

If jock is in your profile I better see some of this...

No, that is a sign that a dude is not actually an athlete or jock. That’s a sign of a stereotypical gay fetishist

It’s a fetish-I agree.

So one of our T3s (Tik Toks Trolls) is using this 10 year old thread as a stealth thread to post more pictures of his crushes.

Got it.

And while technically "jock" in a profile should indicate "I don't have any stereotypical gay mannerisms and I'm far more interested in the NBA than RuPauls' Drag Race" that's far from guaranteed.

IMO, a jock is a guy, gay or straight, with an athletic build who enjoys watching and playing sports.

Most gay guys who describe themselves as jocks are not
