Beyond his use of the word **** y'all have to understand where he's coming from. For some people such overt thirsting (and I don't mean that in a bad way) is natural but for others it isn't.
I personally would be turned off if some guy I'm into follows a ton of gay insta models that thirst trap for likes and follows. Maybe that's an insecurity thing. For others it isn't a big deal.
It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round, y'all.
Just because it works for you doesn't mean it's okay with him.
