'Uniform' Niche - What Do You Think A Surfer Expects To See?

When it comes to sites that bill themselves as 'uniform fetish' what type of content do you think surfers expect to see on it?

Military guys, soldiers, sailors, marines, etc, etc

Soccer players, football players, tennis players, etc, etc

Store workers, mechanics, firemen, cops, etc, etc

Or a mixture of all of the above?

Im actually leaning towards going with a full mixture of the above but at the same time, im wondering if we havent made the word 'uniform' lean more towards military and cops rather than other types of uniforms?

Your thoughts, do you think a mixture would work better or should i try to put more military or service related guys on the site?

Regards,

I think sports uniforms would be its own niche, but service industry would still work with the military/cops/firemen niche.

I think oily mechanic coveralls might be the gay equivalent to the ever-popular french maid uniform for straight sites.

Also, to go with the cop uniforms, you could get some plain orange coveralls and get the prisoner aspect going (or the classic striped black and white pajamas approach).

The military uniforms and military storylines will sell it.

Cops don't sell as well as mil, as far as I can tell.

You can put the sports stuff in there, but thats really another niche, and I'd keep it off the tour.

well i have built some free sites for uniform and the few i built the ones that sold had men in the military for content on them so i think military will sell better from what i have experienced

In regards to niche, I think you need to break it out. I think those who are into uniforms are into respect, authority and in some ways, dominance. Someone that wants to see a cop or a military guy (who use lethal force at times) usually do not want to see a guy in a football jersey.

I have thought about producing some uniform content. When figuring out the costs, I went to different uniform suppliers. I cannot stand fake uniform content. It is so easy to pull it off if you're willing to spend a few hundred dollars. If you're doing a niche, you can use the same props over and over, so it turns into a long term investment.

I have what I think are some great ideas in the uniform niche, all built around a themed pay site. Will I ever get around to doing it? Who knows. My folder called "Ideas" is mighty thick!

Okay, this is random as hell, but if you are going to do military, make sure they have hair cuts and facial hair that would not get them kicked out of the Army! I hate when I see it in TV shows and movies, and I hate it when I see it in porn!

Give them boys crew cuts. If they balk, tell them it is for the sake of realism. If that doesn't work, remind them it will grow back, lol

Amen! Also, you cannot get away with them being flaming. It goes against that whole "don't ask, don't tell."

Flamers don't last too long in the military. Two of my ex's can attest to that. They have hawk eyes on the flamers and chances are, sooner or later, they are going to get busted doing something they shouldn't.

Wouldn't using flamers also defeat the purpose of macho military guy-on-guy action?

so, two counts against using twinks!
Get yourself some hairy-chested beasts and have at it

I am 29 (30 later this month) and my boyfriend is 20 (turned 20 earlier this month).

I like 'em younger. He likes 'em older.

I just ran over some niche ideas with him. What I cannot get into, he totally loves. Things I never thought anyone else would like.

I like 'em smooth, he likes some hair.

So, yes, you are right, go with some hairy beasts.

And I forgot, yes it would totally defeat the purpose.

I used to date a guy in the Army. He was a fucking flamer x3. He was so concerned about his image that he got married and had a kid before enlisting. The girl actually thought he was straight.

He thought he could pull of straight because of the ex-wife and kid.

The rainbow bracelet he wore on his wrist gave it all away.

Silly homos (me being one, of course)

Wait a minute...so he married, spawned, and then divorced just as a cover to further a military career...but then wore a rainbow bracelet around? Fucking seriously? What a retard. No, wait, I don't think retards would go to such lengths to accomplish a goal (regardless of whatever that goal may be) only to totally sabotage it with a frivolous and obviously counterproductive action.

Why did you date him, anyway? He sounds like the type of person that would be a monumental headache to have a relationship with. "Sorry I was late, I tied my own shoelaces together and tried to extricate myself by lighting my laces on fire...so, my house burned down, can I stay at your place?"

LOL, clearly he wasn't long term material. I was young, dumb and horny. He was hot and served his purpose.

Yes, he did all of those things.

What is even weirder is how it ended. We were celebrating at a party at my friends house. From my friends bedroom door I hear screaming. I walk in and he's having hot wax poured on his back.

I still don't know what that was about. I said the fun was over and to sleep in my friends room.

He hung around for a few more weeks and I haven't seen or heard of him since.

It was always a little weird that it was him and his kid. Now that I am older I appreciate kids (and want one or two myself) but back then a kid was the furthest thing from my mind.

Conversations did go like Me: "hey, want to go to the club tonight?" Him: "Nah, I have the baby...we can come over and watch a DVD."

One of the huge benefits of being gay is that kids happen on your own schedule. You never wake up wondering if you got someone pregnant the night before.

Can't say as I haven't dated weirdos either, so I won't judge you, but I trust you learned your lesson! lol
