Do you want to do the ethical thing? Or find a way around that?

Sadly, "truth" is more and more a rare commodity, including some wild accusations in this thread. The internet has no editor and little fact checking. Hopefully "truth" will survive. For some it might be too little, too late

If he cares about you he would have waited for a more appropriate time to bring it up, rather than texting you your profile. I get the sense he's not a worthwhile friend. He cares about you? Sounds like that claim does not fit with his history.

JD is in So Cal now. Anyone try him? His ad looks good. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/45256/

Ultimately, there are forum members that find Asian guys are extra hot or black guys are extra hot. Should they apologize for that? Is that your question? I doubt you are a horrible person. But your post does invite people to read between the lines about some things. If you changed your post to say "I can't get enough of all the fine ass black men here in Chicago. That's how I celebrated Juneteenth. So suit me." That might say it better for some, yet not all. It's tricky.

I used to see a masseur in Palm Springs, a really sweet guy, just my type. Eventually my heart did go pitter-pat over him. It's a nice feeling. I tipped him well to make sure he knew how much I appreciated him. When we parted I would give him a loving hug and let my lips touch against his neck. Lastly I thanked him for seeing me. To me it was perfectly fine, being a little bit in love with a really nice guy that gave me special massages. I agree with the previous post, if a client is bothered, for instance when realizing the provider is with other clients, one might need to look yourself in the mirror. If the provider is spending time with you "off the clock" that's cool, as long as both understand what's going on. To me it seems messy but I expect some guys can figure it out.

There is actually a movie releasing this month at Frameline where the straight guy teases his ex girlfriend that he now has a boyfriend, a gay friend of his. So they apparently hang out together in the film. I recently watched Tab Hunter Confidential where he talked about appearing with women to promote the image Hollywood required, that he dated women. For an escort to be seen out with a client to fool other people, would the escort want to know why? Is it a harmless scenario? Is it all about vanity? Is actual fraud involved?

There are 2 nicely done gay films on You Tube Engaged (Short). 2019. Cute couple. and Un Frere , (A brother) French 2018. Two teenagers become friends. Well done drama. 13M views If already discussed, sorry I didn't find the threads.

Yes! I wondered how much $$ they forked out!! For that cameo and that song. Brilliant.

One friend describes PS as "hell" in summertime, that the heat is constant, even in the middle of the night, still hot. Another friend moved away from PS. Same reason. I love visiting PS. Beautiful. Peaceful resorts . A convenient drive for me. But I gave up on buying a place over there. The heat continues trending hotter. I lived in Vegas years ago for work. It's changed a lot. Not sure if I would have the patience for living there now, a million people living in the middle of the desert.

One factor might be how members promote snarky banter by responding to it. If I don't care for their demeanor I may not engage. But "you do you" is OK by me. Knock yourself out you snarky ones.

S1 of The Bear was so good I wondered if S2 could live up to the hype. I binge watched S2, spoiler free. So good! I watched a scene in epi-7 3 times. S3 is nearly here.

There is Shakey's pizza in Palm Springs I enjoy. I admit it's the nostalgia that draws me back and it's located near where I stay.

Would love to see this! Love the album, Illinoise. I got to see Sufjan Stevens at Hollywood Forever Cemetery a few years ago before the pandemic. He is so talented. This is my favorite song from illinoise live on ACL.

Just watched, on Starz. It's worth a watch. Billy Eichner could have toned down his mouth now and then. We get it, you know? Calm down. But yeah there is a lot of funny stuff. I love Bowen Yang. Needed more of him. Luke McFarlane was yummy and also a great actor. Love to see more of him.

I hope A H. turns the page and finds peace. I question how the entertainment media seemed to turn on him so quickly. No crimes were uncovered. These woman knew he was married with children. What did they want? If he was so miserable to them why did they stay? Seems nutz.

My financial planner reminded me that marriage would help avoid inheritance taxes when I pass. I have no children so I intend to leave my assets to my partner. My strategy is leaving equity to my partner, if we divorce, while avoiding his claiming an undo portion. Of course he is uncomfortable discussing it but I know better. At least I assume so.

One effect might be businesses in NY tightening their record keeping to avoid running afoul of the law. Some claim they will boycott NY. That sounds like a hollow threat. Really, who cares? NY will carry on.

Art did a lot of manipulating in the film. All 3 characters were complex. I found this article about M.F. A good read. He talks about filming Challengers, and much more. Mike Faist Pulls Back the Curtain | AnOther WWW.ANOTHERMAG.COM A decade on Broadway, a critically acclaimed turn in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, a role in Challengers alongside Zendaya – but...

He is a favorite. I have repeated and will again.

yes, same. Good guy.

I especially love the line where Art professes his love, and how Mike Faist looks in that scene. All 3 leads had great chemistry, but Faist made me want to watch scenes again. I can only imagine if I'd seen him in Brokeback Mountain I would have melted.

May I ask for input on executing a prenuptial agreement prior to marriage? Specifically does anyone have direct experience with this subject matter? I've already done internet searches and found lots of information. So I'm not asking for anyone to do internet searches and report back. But if you have gone through the process and learned useful lessons, I would appreciate anything you might be willing to share. My goal is to be aware of risks and challenges and to have all my ducks in a row before contacting a lawyer.

Finally saw Past Lives. Well done! A very specific topic that a lot of us probably ponder or daydream about, from a Korean Buddhism philosophical kind of insight. A quiet, poignant and moving film.

The conversation about his social life.
