Rob is a pretty quiet guy and also he's not, for lack of a better word, "peppy." Some people interpret lack of overt enthusasm as unhappiness. As someone who has a case of resting bitch face myself, I sometimes get a negative reaction from people who think I'm glowering at them when it's kinda, um... just how my face is.

My cousin got bitten by a tick and is now allergic to red meat.

It has less to do with taxes than wages vs rent. tax rates simply haven't changed all that much. But most corporate drones are making 10% less in real dollars than they were 5 years ago if they didn't change jobs, and rent has gone up more than everything else. So even with roommates the math doesn't math for the vast majority of young people in the NYC area. It's comical how out of touch my employer is with this reality. I mean, I know employers generally don't really give a shit about people, but everyone at this company is a numbers person and the bigwigs still try to pretend thar they're making things better by making them worse. It's insulting, really.

I wish one of them wete Saturday. With the snowstorm coming I won't be making either.

To the OP: if you're inclined to.just watch, NYJacks is probably where you want to start.

When I was at my heaviest I made a crack to Tim about how if I spent any more money I'd have to come work for him and he very seriously said "I could get you gigs." There are people with all kinds of fefishes out there

I mean, we prefer the company of MEN so why would we be talking about dykes?

Do you like ANYTHING about this job?

Reducing to zero requires near perfect compliance. Human beings are imperfect. It's not necessarily about complacency. I take a cholesterol pill. I have every intention of taking it every day, and am generally regarded as a responsible adult, but invariably my next 90 day automatic refill comes and I've still got some pills left. Throw in that people are often having sex while out of their element/on vacation/drinking etc, it's not hard to see how transmission still happens.

Despite "shockingly low" rates of PreP, transmission rates are still relatively low because more of the people who DO have HIV get treatment and don't spread it like they used to. 40 years ago being gay was more or less scandalous and there were well over 100,000 new cases a year in the US.. Now the MSM population has at LEAST doubled and there are about 30,000 new cases a year. When you consider how many unintended pregnancies happen each year, it's not really like people are so much.worse than they used to be. Also, HIV isn't something that is spontaneously generated by two men rubbing together. If a closed group of people is all barebacking and none of them is HIV+ and untreated to begin with, nothing is going to happen. I do wonder if the numbers have been run on just testing everyone quarterly and getting them treated immediately and what that would do to new case rates versus the cost of PreP.

If you're not significantly overweight you may never have experienced this, but a lot of escorts are fitness buffs. Many (not all, but probably most) fitness buffs are actually turned off if not outright repulsed by fat and for too many, their professionalism is not sufficient to overcome their visible aversion. For the gentleman of size this makes hiring a somewhat riskier proposition. So if you can find someone who's actively into it it greatly increases your odds of a good time.

This is why I got the.HPV vaccine at 46.

It's also been a rise in "my child must never experience pain or discomfort" parenting.

Several times I have resisted the urge to say, "Honey, it's Equinox, nobody here is looking at the girls."

Pretty sure I can't legally acquire information from Dun and Bradstreet on an individual without their consent.

There is only one Lucille Roberts gym left in the country, in Astoria.

The bootcamp type gyms both generally allow it and tend to be frequented by guys you might actually like to see shirtless. I walked past Solace New York the other night and I had to make a conscious effor not to linger.

Its what ticks me off about the women who work out on backless unitards

I think to quite a lot of them it's just basically assisted masturbation, so they don't even really view it as sex. It feels good, so they do it, they aren't, say, looking at the guy and getting spontaneously turned on by the sight of him. It's more that they're horny and the other guy is there. And this is how so many gay boys get their hearts broken.

Those net worth websites have a pretty large margin of error. They tend to add up reported earnings and make no allowance for their expenses. Half of their gross earnings go to taxes and their agents/managers. And a y properties thry have obviously need to be maintained. There's a C-list actor who goes to my gym. He's been in recurring roles on a number of shows and is almost always working, but streaming has killed residuals, as far as I can tell he's just living an upper-middle class life in the burbs with a stay at home wife and kids. His net worth is less than $500k on one site and $3 million on another. I could believe either figure.

I imagine he was working very hard not to give out any signs. I know I was in HS/college. We are the age cohort that is probably the most fucked up about being gay...most of us figured it out just as it seemed everyone who was was getting a fatal incurable disease. How old was he when this happened?

It's funny because two of my closest friends in college were pretty serious wrestlers and they are 100% straight and they swear up and down that there were pretty much no gay wrestlers. I just think they were oblivious because they had no idea about me until I told them at 30. And they were from towns where I think a gay teen might actually be risking his life by coming out. They don't really think those aspects through.

To be fair, when the internet first came out there were a bunch of pervs who made hidden cam locker room videos in university gyms, recorded wrestling weighins, etc and put it all out there without people's consent. That wasn't something our generation had to worry about. Most of that stuff got shut down, but the fear remains. I'm fine being naked in the locker room, but I admit I'd be mortified if footage of me leaked out. When that influencer got banned for her locker room selfie where she shamed a fat woman behind her, i cringed. But basically "locker room predator scare" is the current "razor blades in Halloween candy" fear that persists despite not really being a thing. But stupid gym bros on TikTok keep it alive.

Any current recs?
