I love self checkout. I'm an awkward introvert.

ESPN's camera angle catching Grigor coming out in tears when he had to retire was so sad. I don't know if it makes me a lech and/or a sadist, but I admit that I thought he looked so adorable.

I think Fritz will take at least a set off of Alcaraz, and I don't think an upset is completely out of the question. But I am pulling for Carlitos and Carota!

Does it, though? I thought part of the point of the wealth tax was that even when these billionaires do spend a big chunk, it's not because they're selling anything; with the leverage of their immense wealth, they can just borrow and still have low income. Anyway, back to the topic - I'm no fan of Bezos, but I have no problem with him celebrating his wedding however he wants.

I'm late to the game here, but I don't get what's so "saucy" about the photo. Maybe I'm desensitized by seeing people far more scantily clad and suggestive in photos on social media and in porn, but this seems... tame? I don't think there's even anything distasteful about it - they look cute! As for the extravagant nuptials, hey, if that's what floats their boat, then why not? They can certainly afford it.

It reminds me of Col. Edward Thomas Ryan, who came out in his obituary. Wishing Col. Ryan peace of mind in death and Barry Diller peace of mind in life. Veteran comes out as gay in moving obituary: ‘Now that my secret is known, I’ll forever rest in peace’ WWW.TODAY.COM “I must tell you one more thing. I was Gay all my life," he wrote in his obituary.

Twunk is a much more understandable/intuitive term to me than zaddy. A twunk is more muscular than a twink but skinnier than a hunk. I still don't understand what a zaddy is.

Maybe I just have terrible gaydar, but I didn't know he was gay. I'm not surprised, but I didn't just assume it like I did for, say, Jonathan van Ness. I liked Pee Wee's Playhouse as a child whenever I happened to catch it, but I never knew when it was on or followed it super closely. I had no sense of gay content at that age, though. Certainly I had no recollection of Tito - wow!

I had not heard of him either but am glad to know of him now. Congratulations to him! I am grateful for his advocacy. And thank you, @Rod Hagen, for enlightening those of us who were unfamiliar.

I woke up and checked the score: 5-5 15-30 on Keys' serve. I was convinced this was about to be another Keys heartbreak and had no desire to watch or listen to it. Refreshed the live scores page shortly thereafter, and the match was no longer there. I figured Sabalenka had broken that game and served it out. I was THRILLED to see that Keys had won! I like Sabalenka too, but Keys getting her first slam was too good not to hope for. And man - what a draw she got through to get the title! Collins, Rybakina, Svitolina, Swiatek, Sabalenka... she truly earned it the hard way!

This has been an amazing experience to READ about - I can't even imagine what it was like to actually live it! Thank you for sharing! I hope the ultimate outcome is exactly however you want it to be.

As jarring as it might be in the moment, in the longer run I appreciate these moments of realization. I think most of us think we have fairly good intuition, but even fairly good is not perfect and is not to be trusted all the time. I'm sorry you've had this suboptimal experience, but thank you for sharing it and your processing of it with us.

I think I am susceptible to falling for a cute guy who's waiting on me at a restaurant or providing some service in my home and thus be inclined to tip more.

Had no idea about JMDP's father and the $$$ - thanks for the info! I love Delpo! Hope there are better times ahead for him. I'm nervous about Djokurray - hopefully it will be mutually beneficial (and doesn't end badly).

Maybe it's just following my tendency toward dark things, but I actually love this topic. And I'm really impressed with what the posters above have shared - how eloquently you wrote about your "last time" experiences and how genuinely those feelings came through in your stories. I am sorry for your losses - yours in particular, Charlie, it being so recent and your spouse. May your husband rest in peace. As an overly sentimental person myself, I am grateful to NOT know the last time. I'd make way too big a deal of it. I just try to keep in mind to cherish life while I have it.

I took the plunge and totally get the "Beautiful but Boring" characterization. But it was great for me because I did indeed just want a beautiful place to relax with a stellar and friendly crew. Also, I did my part to get that clothes:naked ratio closer to even. 😉

You are an incredible resource and wealth of information - thank you!

I don't think I ever would've thought there was an unusual number of ass pics in those profiles - maybe 2 or 3 of 20+? But interesting to know this perspective is out there for those who are into total tops.

Thank you for sharing your story and feelings. I appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable in that way. And actually I admire your ability to fall for someone and dream! My stone cold heart wouldn't let me even if I wanted to.

To quote the great professor Charles Xavier: Mutant... Mutant... I feel your pain. Let me help you: In order for you to heal, you must forget. It's kind of a joke, but it's also not. I get it. But I think you just have to let it go (i.e., let him go). 💔

For me, outside of bathing (but even sometimes within that context of course), being naked feels sexual. So I've never been able to participate in "platonic" nudism. Perhaps some of this is generational; I think locker room nudity and communal showering became less and less common during the life of millennials, and then Gen Z seems to be even more of a "never nude" generation.

I like these #s. This makes sense, doesn't it? For those who struggled, graduation is a real accomplishment and ought to be celebrated, shouldn't it? For those for whom it was more of a foregone conclusion:

As a total introvert, I could never pull this off myself, but I love the idea and it would absolutely give me a warm and friendly first impression if a guy did this to me. (But I'm not a provider so perhaps I shouldn't be chiming in, but I just really loved this!)

Thanks for sharing! I started listening to his interview with Legrand Wolf, who is actually a very thoughtful and intelligent guy with an interesting backstory.
