I went to one at Fox News of all places. A friend who an occasional contributor invited me to one of their parties, and one of the hosts I met there invited me to a taping of his show. I was curious, so I went. I was new to teaching at the time, and I definitely got something out of watching the hosts live. For example, I noticed that they smiled about every 30 seconds, which made them a lot more approachable. Afterwards, the host who invited me also gave me a rundown on the rivalries between the hosts and so on. This was five years ago, before the Roger Aisles allegations became public. At the time, I was surprised at how lecherous the male talent were towards any female who walked into the room. The guy who invited me seemed more decent than some of the others.

It's been said that if men could do that, none of this would ever have been built. http://www.paramount-group.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/60Wall_LowerManhattanSkyline_640x498-490x381.jpg

Yeah, I figured about the prices. I'm surprised you can get anything for $500K. I was under the impression that most of the Fire Island owners live in Manhattan during the week, as is the case in the Hamptons?

Taking glasses off beforehand. And, yeah, eye contact.

IIRC, the Pines is the more upscale half of Fire Island. Hasn't it always been inhabited by Manhattanites?

We've had threads like this in the past. They always fade out eventually if the blackmailer is ignored. And yeah, it sounds fake, especially with the high ball number. If you can change your FB password, he hasn't cracked anything.

According to his entourage, he could be incredibly boring. During dinner, he's go off on multi-hour monologues on whatever he was obsessed with at the moment, and no one dared get a word in edgewise. He would often keep talking until the wee hours so people made excuses to avoid coming at all.

Happy birthday, guys!

A number of guys were gay bashed there that summer. The NYT noted that the gang was looking to beat homosexuals, but protected the victims (including former ice skater Dick Button) by repeating the cover stories they gave to the police. Many of them said they were jogging and had stopped to watch the fireworks. But New York Magazine called it like it was and gave a really interesting description of what the Ramble was like pre-AIDS. Rendezvous in the Ramble

This was Travis in 2002, when this thread was started. He's not my type either, but I can see the appeal.

Happy birthday, Lance!

Happy birthday Oaktown! http://i.myniceprofile.com/1635/163573.gif

Poor emu and fox.

Happy birthday, Greg!!

There's one guy on the subway who asked for money so that he could stay at a hostel for the night. He said he had $16 and needed $35 to get the room. No one gave, and the whole subway care felt so tense that I gave him a dollar. A few days later, he was back with the same story and the very same amount, although he looked worse. Now he's added on a story about getting a warehouse job and wanting a good night's sleep before starting. I feel for him, and I don't regret having given him the dollar.

The dick is apparently removable and washable.

They also sell a doll you can interact with: "You want to do WHAT to me?"

There are Asian and Latin female ones. The Latin one is modeled after a porn star.

Now that's a Unicorn guy.

I looked at the site and put together a custom female doll that would cost over $7000. There's something depressing about the whole thing. I can imagine how despondent a man must be after he cums with one of these dolls.

"Nothin' like an ice cold Coors, bro."

I think the whole process is less mysterious than you think. Any "master list" would contain a lot of porn guys. Remember that semi-closeted CEO who was extorted a few years ago, D Burns? He befriended a few of the Sean Cody guys and had them recruit the others. He famously came up with a "sexual shopping list," with a particular emphasis on “guys no one else had cracked.” Yes, his list was composed entirely of porn guys, but let's face it: Many straight and bi guys prefer to do porn rather than escort. Of course, he eventually balked at paying some fee to one of the guys, and now he's no longer in the closet. That's one of the dangers of doing this stuff. If you read the NY post article, the Sultan of Brunei is even less elitist; he recruits from the same group of high end call girls that are available to everyone else.

When I think of secret societies, I think of the Tiger Inn at Princeton or the Porcellian at Harvard. No need for B-list celebs; you can find elite trade right in the clubs.
