Wow, 20 pull-ups in a row is very ambitious! For me at least. I just have a completely unoriginal "I want to get into better shape" resolution. 

Any mention of Matt Gutman and I think of this pic. The peak of pubes is so hot.

But seriously, may these good and decent people rest in peace. 🕊️

On those days when I struggle to separate reality from porn, Matt Gutman usually plays a prominent role …

How more quickly time both seems to pass, and does actually pass, the older one gets....
52 here.  And I swear I was just squinting in the early morning sun after leaving a night at The Limelight a handful of years ago. 
OK at the most, 10 years ago.
(In reality, 30+.)

To end the speculation, it’s on!😊  For those who like to plan ahead, mark your calendars for April 11 (Saturday) and April 12 (Sunday), 2026.  Information about the activities will be forthcoming at a later date.  I hope many of you can attend as I look forward to seeing you!🎉😄

My fave has got to be Phil Mattingly from CNN.  The voice, the hair, the twinkle in his eyes...🥰
 

That is just plain rude. 

I didn't understand that either! The only sex scene was the first encounter, and that was doggy -- hard to "angle" that wrong as long as one is behind the one on his hands and knees...? If anything, it wasn't enough hawk tuah to be believably sufficient for lubrication.

A bit of background on now 2-time US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz:  he has 3 brothers.  The oldest Álvaro, the amateur barber who travels with him full-time, also wanted to be a professional tennis player but lacked the talent.  Carlitos learned how to play from his dad, who is or at least was a tennis teaching pro.  Carlos Sr. tried to become a pro player as well but only got to #963, maybe because of lack of talent, undoubtedly at least in part due to lack of resources.  It costs a boatload to pay for proper coaching/training plus the costs of travel and other expenses to play the juniors, Futures, Challengers, funds the dad simply didn’t have, nor could he have gotten from the Spanish Tennis Federation given his low national ranking (just #40 in Spain).
Carlos Jr. (he prefers to be called either Carlitos or Charlie to avoid confusion with his dad) started at Juan Carlos Ferrero’s academy at 15, thanks to a well-to-do businessman from Carlitos’s small town who set up an “audition.”  JCF instantly saw Carlitos’s potential and took him in, I’m assuming on scholarship  because a tennis pro with 4 kids is in no position to pay for a tennis academy (which usually costs $8000+ per month plus travel expenses).  
JCF was so convinced of Carlitos’s potential that he turned down a hell of an offer to coach him.  When Darren Cahill was leaving his position as coach of Simona Halep, Cahill approached JCF to see if he was interested in taking over.  Mind you, given that Halep was #1 at the time and that the coach usually gets 10% of the player’s prize money on top of a base salary (in other words, when you see the coach rooting like crazy for his player, that passionate encouragement also has a financial component), the position of Halep’s coach would have been very lucrative for JCF.  But he turned Cahill down because he had a 15yo who was “really good” and wanted to focus on him.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Oops, I misread the article.  It's the author of the original short story Brokeback Mountain which is a woman who consulted her gay male friends, not the author of the article.

I think Carlos looks sexy as heck. His hair grew in a bit. He looks fine:

My hometown girl Jessica Pegula played so good last night. I so thought she was gonna win that semifinal last night. The way she stormed back and steamrolled Sabalenka in the first set I thought was gonna carry over but alas not to be.

I lived and worked in the SF Bay Area for most of my adult life, so my network of friends is basically there.  After retiring, I moved to Denver as that is where what little family I have is located.  Other than family, I did not know a single person here.  I decided to get involved in the local senior center, and have made quite a few new friends there.  I volunteer a couple of days each week for a few hours, sign up for various bus trips of interest, attend informative classes, and play a variety of games.  It keeps me both social and active.  There is also a gay community center in Denver that offers a variety of activities for seniors.  I have also met a few persons that way as well.  The senior center is 5-6 minutes from my house, so much more convenient for me to participate there several times a week, meet people for lunch or dinner, or just to hang out at the park and engage in conversation.  The gay community center is about 45 minutes by car, so not nearly as convenient.  

I packed up and move across country, single and with only a few social connectiona where I now live.  It has been 6 months and in that time I have made a few acquaintances who may become friends.  Most of these have beenat the gym I attend which has a predominantly gay clientele.  The people have been very friendly, but ultimately, they all have their own circle of friends and so for the most part, I think I will meet people who are open to the idea of adding to their social group or men in the same situation as I am.  I try to be outgoing and strike up converations wherever I go.  When I started at the gym, I wore a multicolored fedora, not only because I looked damned good in it, but it also gave people something by which they could recognize me and something which might spark a conversation,   I had good results with that.  The people at the bank and the grocery store recognized me by the second or third visit and the people. At the gym several people came up to me and said they had noticed my efforts, most because of the hat but one said no it was not the hat but the belly.  They had been overweight and lost weight by going to the gym and he wanted to encourage me to keep up the work.  So my advice is either join a gym, wear a brightly colored hat, or be noticeably obese.  I chose all three.  
You have to recall that not everyone is looking for friends and their is no hanky code to identify who is and who is not.  
 

If you are a reader, you may look around for a book group.  About 6-8 of us meet more or less monthly in the homes of each other for a meal and discussion; yes, we actually discuss the books, but we also discuss life as it unfolds for each of us; I find myself being energized after our gatherings.  And, we are multi-generational gay men, ranging from late 30s or early 40s to late 70s; the younger guys pick books that I would have never read on my own, but it stretches my mind a bit and I find it delightful.
This group was formed by invitation; a couple of us recruited guys we thought might be interested, and it has been ongoing for several years now; I suspect a local library or LGBTQ+ community center may know or even sponsor a group.
