    gee, I didn't know if I'd posted in this thread, so had to scroll through it.....nope......a little bit 'TMI' coming up, I guess....sorry!!
    many here know me from various in-person social meets and others here know me well from only messaging.......
    still very much in the closet now (age early 60s)......never had a relationship and never really wanted one (parents not always getting along might have contributed to that??).....have told only some very 'safe' (discreet) friends:  mostly bisexual females, a therapist, my doctor.....no straight male or female friends have been told outright at all......I'm sure many I know suspect by now, but I'm known to be a low-key, decent, honest guy and, though they might wonder and may talk amongst themselves, they probably assume I'm just happy living alone and doing things on my own......when we all hang out, nobody asks me about a current girlfriend or my dating habits.....
    lived in a conservative, though definitely not holy roller religious, background through end of childhood.....parents were smart/savvy and both quietly atheist, but we all dutifully went to Methodist ("Baptists who can read") church occasionally for the social aspect and to keep my parents' parents happy, I suppose.....no hellfire "gay is a sin" that I remember at all.....church never really was important to us and I abandoned it by high school or so.....I think my Mom clung to claiming to be agnostic "just in case"...... 
    even by 7th grade (12 y.o.), I hadn't yet realized social norms and 'how to act'.....I was not at all a wild kid, pretty much behaved myself, and did very well in school, probably so I wouldn't disappoint my parents.....had not yet learned about gay/straight/what-have-you.....I evidently was still behaving without concern for appearances because it was in 7th grade (upscale private school) that one (just one) classmate started the teasing/bullying thing (nothing physical).......it was new to me, but not at all mentally scaring and I didn't quite understand what it meant.... probably realized there was something going on with me that wasn't 'the norm', though, because it was in 7th grade when I was able to acquire a Playgirl magazine and noticed how good-looking an 8th-grader (already thru puberty) was when he emerged from the shower after gym....
    fearful of busing (remember that?!) and always chasing good schools, my parents moved us to another state with a supposed excellent public school system before my 8th grade year (the private school didn't impress them, I guess??)......8th grade in a new state wasn't good at all for me.....still not realizing how a 13-year-old boy should act in front of peers, I went thru some fairly rough bullying/teasing (verbal, nothing physical) at school and you can imagine how my parents felt about this supposed nationally-recognized wealthy school district we had just moved into......my parents had a meeting with the principal and things improved just a bit, but I started to retreat/shut down a bit....
    high school (9th-12th grades) was a good bit improved......we were all 'grown-ups' now and started to act it a bit.....I still was a bit socially awkward and now careful about 'mannerisms' and all that......a bit reserved and quiet, I bumped along with a few decent friends until graduation....no dating at all......no wild parties attended or arrests (still didn't want to disappoint my parents!)......where was my Dad to teach me how to act like a man??!!......other than gone half the time day and night (airline captain), I think, with my smarts and not making trouble, he was happy to just let me grow up and evolve......   
    attended and graduated college and, of course, all were in full adult mode and well past the immature bullying era.......had cool (straight) room-/house-mates who had fun until 'closing time' and fucked in the next room all the time while I still didn't date and dutifully went to class and went to bed fairly early......joined a social fraternity and that was pretty fun, but I wasn't one of the wild and crazy guys......a couple of the bros were evidently gay and I gravitated to hanging out with them, but was still reserved and non-committal.....by the end of college, I was in full 'denial' mode, still not dating, and resigned to the fact that I'd probably just go thru life working, hanging out with platonic friends (male and female, all straight, of course!), pursuing my own interests on the weekends.....and never dating......the earlier bullying (though by now a bit of an old memory), general societal pressure and norms, and (yup!) still not wanting to disappoint my parents (and, now, my friends) turned me off from any grand "coming out" plans......
    some here may be upset that I never went thru the tough process of a formal coming out and reconciling all that that entails.....many people have told me we each handle our own story in our own way and some may think I'm just chickening out ......the therapist (tried some gay counseling at one point) I mentioned earlier told me I'm 100% suffering from internalized homophobia (very much NOT the same as homophobia!!) and that seems true....probably explains the fear of coming out, of course, and my general resistance to the 'scene'  .....that therapist also encouraged me to participate in gay/bi social settings and the like (among other efforts, this forum has been part of that for many years)......yes, I realize this seems to many of you like silly baby steps at this point, but we each have a story.......

    Slightly off-topic but still about women in space meant for gay men … before the pandemic my then-boyfriend and I were at Tool Shed in Palm Springs when a bachelorette party wandered in. There was an audible “~groan~” from the assembled men. The “bride” picked up on the immediate change in the vibe (they were now facing a hostile crowd), and said, loudly, “My Daddy’s an attorney and he said that we can be here!” Whereupon a man seated at the bar - for context, an African-American man - replied, loudly, at the “bride”, “YOU are a little white girl. Tell me where you CAN’T go!” After a moment of stunned silence, the “bride” and her party left. So glad I was there to witness that. 
    I can’t and don’t speak for everyone but I just want a safe space - besides my living room - where I can socialize with other like-minded men and be my old, fat, gay self.

    Fair pricing = cheap ass.

    in all seriousness, having a paid fuck is not a basic human right or something you can get with your EBT card nor coupons. Let’s start treating sex work as what it is: a luxury service. It will make the entire experience better.
    Imagine going to the Four Seasons and asking for “fair pricing”. Get your shit together my dude

    A respected local art theater has posted a tribute to her on their website, praising her work and influence in cinema. However, many people have posted in the tribute's 'comment' section  complaining of her Islamophobia and far-right stance in later life. The art theater is evidently deleting those comments, creating a minor crisis. A local Reddit thread was created by one of those angered by the theater's actions and most replies to it are ho hum, mind your own beeswax.

    The backlash is already starting and his body is hardly cold in the grave. The architectural critic in the Globe &Mail in Toronto wrote last week that he was hoping the age of Starchitects was ending with Gehry’s death. His redo of the Royal Ontario Museum will likely be largely removed as it failed as both a design and functional solution. Plans are already afoot to dismantle it.

    don't post vague comments then get upset with people who ask for clarity. Very immature behavior from you.  
    If you have experienced something that justifies warning people - do it. we do want to hear it. Thats what this forum is for.

    Helpful not helpful... just how clearly spelled out do you need things to be in order for you to catch my drift?
    Ok... let's try this... a pattern of substance abuse, consistent erratic behaviors with no understanding of consequences,  constant requests for money, inability to keep commitments...
    Does this make you feel better now?
