  1. According to the article, the pop-up hotel is located in London, UK.
  2. Are you sure the candidate was not included in the shortlist because she is qualified for the position? In what way is your former supervisor's behavior related to this job candidate? For that matter, how is your former supervisor's behavior a function of her sexual orientation? Yes, very. You are also allowing your bad experience with a different person to prejudice your assessment of this candidate. Would you like a hiring committee to consider your sexual orientation when assessing you for a job? It does not matter. As a member of a selection committee, your role is to assess a candidate based on their qualifications and not their age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability status, gender, or physical appearance. I would be very surprised if your organization's human resources department has not already explained that to you during a training session or as part of its recruitment and hiring policy. It is also illegal.
  3. Check out the "Member Since" date (March 2, 2013). While anyone could have renewed the ad, the updated ad text and new pics lead me to believe Austin Wolf has, in fact, rebooted his ad.
  4. Add my voice to the chorus of members encouraging you to consider therapy. My most recent experience (in 2001 and 2002) was eye-opening insofar as it helped me realize what was important to me and helped me go out and get it. It also helped me know myself and understand what was important to me. As @jjkrkwood pointed out, there are therapists who accept insurance and others who have a sliding fee schedule based on ability to pay if money is an issue for you. You mentioned the lack of an LGBT center where you live, but you might want to research support and discussion groups, particularly those that operate online. I co-facilitated the Men's Coming Out Group in San Diego for several years and let me tell you many of our members had come out years before but they were looking for support and an outlet where they could discuss whatever topic was on their minds. I learned something new about myself every week. That said, a technique that has helped me is list-making. The concept is simple: write down all the things that are important to you as they come to mind. Then, put them in order from most important to least important. Refer back to that list (and add to it, if you need to) when you feel like your life isn't what you want it to be. Sometimes, we think we want something and upon reflection realize that it just isn't that important. The list can help clarify these things. Finally, while I agree that sex is not a cure-all, it could be worth your while to consider hiring a fella to provide that experience you are craving. It will take some time to find him (and he might not be in Boston) but that list-making exercise applies here, too. Start saving up now while you make your list of the things that are important to you. Then, find some guys who appeal to you physically and who whose ads indicate they would provide you with the experience you are looking for. Then, start asking for feedback and recommendations. I sincerely hope this helps.
  5. I second that. You can't go wrong with Rod.
  6. I agree with @Rod Hagen. Peet's Major Dickason's Blend K-Cups are also good. You can find both coffees in most supermarkets.
  7. If you look at the ingredient label on a package of coffee you can see for yourself that unflavored coffee typically contains one ingredient: coffee. Exceptions include coffee that's mixed with chicory or pinon. Were caffeine (or anything else" to be added it would be listed on the ingredient label. However, the variety of coffee bean does affect the caffeine level. Scribbler's Coffee Company explains on their website: "...One more caffeine comparison ought to be mentioned: Robusta coffee versus Arabica coffee. Robusta—a harsh-tasting, inexpensive coffee variety (or varietal)—contains nearly twice the caffeine of Arabica. A less expensive, supermarket-type brand offering a blend of both represents more caffeine per cup than a 100% Arabica coffee when both are identically prepared and brewed. What's more, if that supermarket blend happens to be roasted dark and its coffee grounds are measured by weight prior to brewing, a brewed cup will deliver the biggest caffeine dose of all...." Scribbler's blog post was originally written in 2004. In 2007, Maxwell House stopped using Robusta beans and switched to 100% Arabica beans. Several Folger's varieties use Arabica beans while others use Robusta. McDonald's has used Arabica beans since before I worked there in the 1980's and Starbucks also uses Arabica beans. That's not true. According to Kicking Horse Coffee's website, caffeine does not break down during the roasting process. However, as beans are roasted they lose mass as the water evaporates. The caffeine level varies based on how you measure the coffee. Rather than paraphrase, here's a direct quote: "...If you measure your coffee by scoops, light roasted coffee will have more caffeine. Since the beans are denser than a darker roast. However if you weigh out your scoops, darker roasts will have more caffeine, because there is less mass. What should also be noted is that Arabica beans vary in levels of caffeine depending on the plant species. And, as we know from our caffeine basics the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is so minimal, we might not even notice the difference. Myth be damned. Depending on how ground coffee is measured, we find only a minimal variance in caffeine content with dark and light roasts..."
  8. I miss: @glennnn @tyro @quoththeraven @jackhammer91406 @bigvalboy @Michael Vincenzo @Guy Fawkes @BasketBaller @Truereview
  9. I don't think that's the case, as they took down all of the older videos. The official reason was they can't prove the performers were over 18 nor can they prove consent, which I doubt because the previous owner was able to do so and, presumably, the sale of the studio would include the studio's records. I think they took them down because the current production values would have to dramatically improve to be labeled "crap" and, by comparison, the older stuff is higher quality.
  10. If everyone has their own flag, perhaps the rainbow flag will revert to meaning "gay pride" and not "pride."
  11. That is a very sound plan. There's a lot of bad stuff on this guy.
  12. In the last year, he has used the following names: JasonMuscleXXX JMuscleXXL XXXJasonXXX ChaseStPatrick
  13. On the other hand, his stats list 6'6"/195 cm. While his profile text isn't quite "I sportif and give good sexi,"he does say "We can meet..." making me wonder how many of him there are. Perhaps one of him is 1.95 cm and the other is 195 cm?
  14. I think he looks better now than he did ten years ago.
  15. Seems odd that he would choose a name that is so close to that of existing, long-time escort Kyle King.
  16. The general concept would work, but in the 24 years since "Sex and the City" was originally published (it was a book before being made into a TV series) the notion of being "old" at 35 has fallen by the wayside. At the very least, I'd make the characters 45, not 35. More than that, why copy a show about straight women? Do something original. You mentioned "Golden Girls." At least they were generally happy with themselves. I'd much rather spend time with Blanche Deveraux and Rose Nylund than I would Samantha and Carrie.
  17. True. However, the question wasn't about why Austin Wolfe filmed/posted video. It was why an off-duty flight attendant was on a plane.
  18. rvwnsd

    Erick in Phoenix

    No. In fact, he wasn't listed in Phoenix this morning when I looked at ads.
  19. I asked my retired flight attendant friend (more than 30 years with American) why an off-duty flight attendant might be on a plane. Here are some of the reasons she gave: The flight attendant is based in a different city than the one in which they live and is commuting home. The flight attendant is based in a different city than the one in which they live and is commuting to their base so they can start work. The flight attendant is using their flight benefit on a personal trip. The flight attendant is commuting to attend training The flight attendant is filling in for another flight attendant and is commuting to the city in which the flight will originate The list goes on.
  20. I've hired him a few times. Nice guy, as @azdr0710 mentions he has limits but they have never prevented me from having a great time with him. Feel free to DM w/questions.
  21. I'm sorry to hear you are going through this pain. There are definitely escorts who can help you find the validation you want and need. When you are at a place where you can hire, find a few escorts and ask about them here in The Deli. So far, so good. OK, we need to stop right here. You do not know what other people when they pay you a compliment. What you intend to say is "the other part of me that completely overthinks everything thinks..." We tend to use these words interchangeably, but they don't mean the same thing. (You aren't the only one ) There are escorts who truly enjoy being with their clients. The trick is finding one of those escorts. As I said above, when you are ready to hire, pick out a handful of ads and ask for feedback here on the Forum. Yes, I do have some advice. First and foremost, learn to take compliments and feedback at face value. It takes practice, but it will make life much more enjoyable. Second, remember that this is all about you. Third, be upfront with yourself about what you want when you hire. Do you want a F-buddy experience, a romantic evening, a dominant guy, etc. Once you know what you want, you can ask an escort for what you want. The notion that this is all about you is worth repeating. Regarding whether or not to provide the full context to someone you want to hire, you might want to mention the situation (I'm hiring to help me get through a breakup) and leave it at that. As @nycman said, unpacking your breakup is for friends or a therapist, not an escort. The escort is there to make you feel good.
  22. This isn't the same guy. Brenden/Branson/Bestscort9 still had an expired RentMasseur ad as recently as last year and, frankly, he was better-looking in his recent pics than Physique Stud. Lastly, I've communicated with both guys and they have completely different writing and communication styles. PhysiqueStud speaks in complete sentences, is forthcoming with information seemed to enjoy conversing. B/B/B gave me one-word answers.
  23. Right. Got it.
