Hey Deli Forum members! I just wanted to take a quick break from the always exciting and insightful ongoing discussion and commentary that happens here and wish everybody a very happy Thanksgiving. ?

with only a handful of exceptions out of this entire list of posts, I would most definitely NOT need the dog to be magnetically attracted to the man! On the other hand, I would plan to take MY dog with me to as many places as possible!

If you think he is stunning from his photos, you won't believe how astonishingly much more attractive he is in person. He was a ballet dancer in Cuba, is an skilled sculptor, smart, personable, and a totally all-around sweetheart. Again, if I lived in Miami, I could get in serious debt trying to cajole this fellow into being my sugar baby. (Although he is no baby.)

Run, do not walk, to book this Latin adonis. I had a wonderful session with him in Miami in January. Its a good thing I don't live there ... if I did I would be going broke hiring him, and probably falling in love with him as well. Even more attractive in person than in his pictures because of his warm personality. Go for it (And please treat him well and with respect.)

I ran across these two (what I consider) extremely hot guys on MintBoys, but neither one responds.

In the past, I’ve scrolled through MintBoys looking for someone new—and although I do see a few familiar faces from RentMen—the intriguing ones I only see on MintBoys never seem to respond. These must be the fake guys....

Although I may have made it sound like we worked everything out right at the beginning of our relationship, it was not really true. The first ten years were the most difficult, as both of us learned to adjust to our expectations of one another and of ourselves. I learned, for instance that he experienced more jealousy than either of us expected from him, and I wanted more freedom than I thought I would. We actually separated for one year and lived in different countries, although we continued to own a home together, and each of us had a serious relationship with another person while we were separated. Yet at the end of that year, we both re-committed to our primary relationship, and after that avoided romantic entanglements with other men. There were two other occasions that we lived apart for an extended period during the following two decades, yet each of those times we agreed ahead of time that it would be a temporary separation, and we both felt confident that was true. Every decade has been somewhat different, because people change as they develop, and no relationship is totally stable forever. Sex itself became a less important issue for both of us over the years, as I think it does with most people--gay or straight--and certainly wasn't the foundation of our informal or eventual legal marriage. After the first 45 years, we knew it was "till death do us part," so we made it official. That doesn't necessarily mean a happy ending: as he slips away into Alzheimer's dementia, I realize that at some point he may no longer understand what our relationship is, but it will still be there.

Not only is he cute and hunky ... he SMILES in his pics!!! Report back!

All I can say is that out of all these guys, only a handful would have any need of a pooch to be magnetic to me!!

BOY! Do I hear you on this score. I was incredibly (unbelievably, actually) lucky enough to find (on Grindr) an almost ridiculously handsome (and much younger) cross between a FWB and sugar baby, and we've been quarantine cuddle buddies since JUST before the full realization of the pandemic hit. So it has now been several months of almost weekly multiple-day visits, which work because he is smart, charming, and a great conversationalist in addition to being sexy as hell. And I was just thinking last week that by now, it isn't just the sex (more like making love, actually), and maybe isn't really about the sex anymore, but, precisely as you say, the ability to touch and be touched, kiss and be kissed, and have good real conversation, not just chatter. I have most definitely fallen in love with him; the feeling is not (as far as I can tell) completely reciprocal ... but he is clearly fond of me, as he keeps coming back. For however long it lasts, it is one of the ONLY things helping me through this awful time. It certainly took me a while - learning about and learning to recognize the trolls, bots, and catfishers on both Grindr and Scruff - and it ultimately did hook me up with this wonderful young man. Don't give up, don't lower your standards, and best of luck to you.

Interesting that you seem to be lucky in the same way that I got lucky ... just before the whole pandemic thing became serious. Met an unfathomably handsome (for me) young south american guy on Grindr, interested in "daddies" and - in an early message - mentioned "generous regular." We met at a restaurant, then had an in-house date the following week. He's been coming over several nights a week ... some nights astonishingly good sex, other nights no sex. (My libido and ability to "perform" are also decreasing with age, as some other posters have noted.) His company is the best antidepressant I've ever tried. I do provide him with a monthly stipend which, although not an inconsiderable amount, is nowhere near rates escorts charge for individual weekends. He's a professional with a good company - so that "stipend" is more fun-money than necessary. He is smart, personable, and careful ... we met just in time to establish mutual trust in terms of pandemic behavior before it became essential. He is just as interested in living the rest of his life as I am in living mine. Although I would love for him to be around for much of whatever life I have left ... that may or may not be in the cards. And in the meantime, I feel INCREDIBLY, UNBELIEVABLY lucky ... as my opinions about most of the escorts who are out there these days echo the thoughts of other posters. And I sure as hell won't be hooking up with anyone I don't know enough to trust about proper pandemic behavior - which effectively eliminates just about everyone online.

They aren't going to filter these bots out ... because Grindr is very likely the source of them. I asked some younger friends why an app would do something like this, and they looked at me like I was in kindergarten, and replied "If they catch your interest, you stay on the app longer and give thm more clicks."

Thanks MscleLovr ... both for your good wishes and a hopeful example. And congratulations!!! 6 years is awesome!! (My friend is also much younger than me ... which is both delightful in many ways and challenging in other ways.) And yes, life is short ... and these days none of us know how short "short" may end up being. I'm beginning to think that living life as a series of telenovelas is better than moping around alone. My innermost self (and this isn't just my little head thinking ) dearly wishes that this might last at least until the brunt of the epidemic is past ... which is going to be at LEAST a year. If we make it that far ... your experience offers me some hope. (Its been 4 months so far, spending 3 days a week essentially under house-arrest ... and we haven't argued once yet.) I hope you continue to enjoy and be well!
