Is there a story behind this? Do her parents hate you?

Doug, would Uber be an option?

I don't see the building owner as more negligent. The tenant was subletting illegally and involved in throwing these parties, and was the one who blocked exits. The owner is more passively negligent. If someone drives drunk in a rental car you don't sue the rental car company.

I should clarify I don't mind being called uncle, I prefer it. I was just stating that some are out of the will.

Look, nobody has so many people beating down their door on these apps that they have to go out of their way to make people feel shitty about themselves. And that's what "no ____" up front in the profile does. If they don't interest you say thanks not interested or just don't reply. Be like Bill and Ted. Be excellent to each other.

I have to say I think Hal kinda got a bum rap on that one, he was just making a joke about stubble.

My issue isn't with having the preference - it's the rudeness with which it is expressed, which usually correlates with a certain degree of racism. If you are screaming out "NO ASIANS!" (e.g.) on your profile, you are going out of your way to be a dick and yes, you should feel bad about yourself.

Most of them call me uncle. Some of them are out of the will for other reasons.

And stating racial preferences - i.e. implicitly disparaging others based on their race for your personal convenience - seems less like trying to rise above it than wearing it as a badge of honor. I am in general attracted most to people of some races, and there are some ethnicities where it is far less likely that I will be sexually attracted to a member(though not impossible), but I wouldn't dream of putting "don't bother if you are X" or "ONLY Y!" in my profile like a lot of assholes feel free to do. It's just rude.

One dancer mentioned to me he doesn't do clients but will do another dancer/put on a show for a client. I think it's his way of staying legally in the clear.

In New York state a Supreme Court decision resulted in women's right to be topless being acknowledged, though many NYers aren't actually aware of the case. For years there was a woman who would take off her top on a particular subway car at a certain time every day. I think it was the A train. I only read about it in an article.

While I think we didn't use enough condoms, it seems there were quite a few more long-term HIV+ survivors than initially assumed. (They used to think it was like 2 years from infection to death and turned out even without meds that wasn't true for quite a few people) and critical mass had already been reached by then. The horse was already out of the barn.

They are by no means fancy places. Crowds extremely hit or miss and sometimes the patrons there can be downright scary looking - like barely able to walk and skin you would be afraid to touch. I think you'd have more fun bringing the escort to a hotel spa if they are up for it, though you do have to be more careful there.

I've seen plenty of women nursing in public places and they've always managed to to it discreetly enough I didn't actually see their breast so I've never understood why people make such a fuss about it.

AC is in a part of Jersey with a pretty low population density in general, I think it simply can't support a local market. You might get a philly guy to travel there but they would probably want considerably more for their time.

Algebra is about figuring things out without just blindly guessing. I mean, yeah you don't need to retain all the formulae for trig identities, but you should be able to do basic things so you don't fall for political bullshit like "lowering tax rates always increases tax revenue."

I'm sorry to hear that. And for my earlier snarkiness.

Not sure...there's a lot of people there and I'm terrible at recognizing people in person from pictures. The way the place is laid out you could miss somebody depending on when you/they go for lapdances.

I don't generally have trouble telling people apart, but what I find happens with people of other races is I can't seem to come up with the words to describe the difference in their appearance in a quantitative manner. So a "have you seen this face" picture test I'd do great on, but "describe the person so someone else can pick him out of a group" would be tough.

Too bad Apollo Phoenix was a no-show. I'm guessing someone on the email list gave him a call and made him a better offer.

Yes, and he's not modeling full time, or if he is now he's striking while the iron is hot and then going back to academics. But he's not a representative sample of models by any stretch.

I thought "pato" meant faggot but it's been years since I used my Spanish.

I recall Candice Bergen on some talk show reminiscing that modeling was "a terrible career for anyone who has a mind." Particularly when you consider that male models don't really make that much, a guy who spends his 20s doing only that is somewhat less likely to be, well, all that smart. That is not to say there aren't very smart models out there, just that they are the exception.

I went to see a PT the other day and he was wearing skinny-cut pants. And he is that skinny, but good grief, he stood in front of me to demonstrate an exercise and the seam along the but crack was separating his cheeks, like there was a nearly inch-deep crevice! That can't be comfortable.

The majority of people in general don't actually budget. And young people in their first jobs are especially prone to this because they went from very low income to moderate income and "feel" rich. "Hey I went from $8k to $35k this year, I should be able to have Starbucks every day!" Well, you could, if you were sill living in a subsidized dorm room with 3 roommates, but now you've got an apartment and utilities at market rate, commuting expense, higher taxes because you're in a higher bracket, insurance, etc...
