I met him years ago during his bottoming days. Wish he'd resume that. And 34? More than a little low, imo.

And for a different spin: I was fortunate to work in an industry during the 1990's that was prone to overpaying its participants. In short, I was at the right place at the right time and, when it became clear that the gravy train was ending, I retired very early by conventional standards in my late 40's. Fast forward two decades. A very close (and much younger) friend has been in my life for the past decade. It was clear from the start that he prized time with his family and our travel over generating income. He and I have traveled frequently (and yes, we have a sexual relationship), and all on my dime. Now that he is in his early 50's, he now realizes that he is very much living hand to mouth. He occasionally asks for a "loan", though I have no expectation of repayment. I find myself wondering if my earlier generosity on funding our travel was misguided. Have I "enabled" him to coast through the past decade? And what next? My crystal ball for his next 5, 7, or 10 years is murky, as he has no clear path to regular monthly income. I'm wondering if I should cut the cord on funding his travel with me so that he faces his economic reality and (here's hoping) does something constructive about it. Or do I rely on him to figure out his own life choices? I care a great deal about my friend and want him happy.

Without any prompting from me, I've had several escorts tell me stories of their time with various famous people. I'm assuming that these stories are an attempt to impress me. It doesn't. This lack of discretion guarantees that I will never hire the particular escort again.

"A plague on both your houses"....kinda close to a pox, yes?

Curated. Luxury condo. (Does anyone ever build/sell a "basic" condo? Hmm.)

I mentor/coach many people, most of whom are full-time performing artists. Sexuality rarely enters our conversations. Instead, I strive to offer observations without judgement, confidentiality, empathy, challenge, and support based on my long career in both the investment world (where I observed both business success and failure) and in the non-profit realm (ditto). Ultimately, it's about striving to live in the truth, determining how many other people (if any) get a "vote" on one's life's direction, and having the fortitude to make a new decision when necessary without concern for "perfect timing".

The episode I referenced above occurred within a matter of seconds....I'm guessing no more than 10. The subsequent press reports included the "800" tip-line phone number for the SFPD. By this, I'm assuming that no one on the street that evening rose to Unicorn's standard of behavior, myself included.

In late April I witnessed a hit and run killing of an innocent woman on a scooter in the Tenderloin. She was dragged underneath a large black SUV for half a block until the car paused, ran over her again, and then sped off into the night. The woman died. Since then I have been haunted by the horror of this....the sadness of a life gone and her family/friends having to hear that she was killed on a Sunday evening by a callous driver....and the shock that someone could be so uncaring as to drive away. I think this person will never be brought to justice, and the thought of that sickens me.

My affection for my college alma mater isn't deep enough to warrant attending a reunion. The last high school reunion I attended was my 35th. (Yes, years ago.) Instead of the usual picture-sharing and 20 questions (i.e., what do you do, where do you live, etc.), I decided to ask people whom in the room had the most felonies. (I am not kidding about this.) Wouldn't everyone enjoy knowing that? 🙂 And....that experience satisfied my curiosity. Enough.

I believe his Instagram shows him moving to Los Angeles.

Flunked the "discrete/discreet" test. And "jack of all traits"? That's an additional smack across the knuckles with a ruler.

I met him in 2013 or 2014, as I recall. Pic #37 is one I took when he was at my home. He's a sweet guy and I enjoyed topping him. I think that his assertion of being 32 years old might be, well, in question. I do echo the concern about his current physique...pics 17 and 19 may be among the more recent, I think. Most definitely ask for FaceTime or current pictures.

More Stubborn Than Smart

Another possibility: kidney stones. Please consult your urologist. (Subsequent clarification: I agree with later posters. I misread the topic, as blood in my urine lead to a kidney stone diagnosis, and then two surgical procedures.)

Titanic. (Interpret any wish you wish. Odds are I'll agree. 😉)

John Cena, Michael B Jordan, and Chris Hemsworth. The 2 best get another round. The loser gets to watch. 😉

If his ass is available, I’m interested.

It’s wonderful to visit. It’s a snow globe as a resident (which I was). Yes, plenty of disposable income and gay men…who, with few exceptions, are partnered. When I lived there, I left town to have a sex life.

No.

Am I living in the truth?

Some of the loneliest people I know are married. I see this as not a question of which is “better”. There is no ranking. Instead: do I know what brings me joy? …what brings me purpose? And is a relationship additive to these?

I'll add my endorsement of Nate Grimes. Fun.

Least favorite: Orlando. Dull as dirt. 2nd place, least favorite: Boston. Not much receptive to outside (and outsider) thinking. Favorite: NYC. The "push and shove" of dealing with clients there always kept me on my toes as a professional. And I never took it personally.

I've met him in WeHo. Great time. His pics are accurate. His ass is a work of art. Seemed like a decent guy.
