One thing that I would recommend is the World War II museum. I spent a whole day there and was not bored. As a Canadian, I find American history very fascinating and more interesting. Apparently, the museum was built in New Orleans as it is also the home of the "Higgins Boat". According to the website: https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-higgins-boats HIGGINS BOATS In the late 1930s, the U.S. military began developing small boats that could carry troops from ships to open beaches. Andrew Jackson Higgins of New Orleans, who had been manufacturing shallow-water work boats to support oil and gas exploration in the Louisiana bayous, adapted his Eureka Boat to meet the military’s specifications for a landing craft. Designated the Landing Craft Personnel (Large), or LCP(L), it was used in the invasions of Guadalcanal and North Africa in 1942. Initially, separate landing craft were used for troops and vehicles, the LCP(L)s and the LCVs (Landing Craft, Vehicle). The LCP(L) was designed without a ramp. Troops unloaded from the LCP(L) by jumping over the side, which proved unsatisfactory because climbing over the side exposed the men to hostile fire. Higgins solved this shortcoming by combining the LCP(L) and LCV’s designs into the Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel or LCVP. This craft, which is now the most famous of Higgins’s designs and is often referred to as the Higgins Boat, allowed infantry or small vehicles to exit through a front ramp. Higgins Boats changed the way that war was fought. Previously, navies would have to attack ports, which were usually heavily defended. By using Higgins Boats, armies could unload across an open beach and have more options in choosing their attack points. This also stretched the defending armies. Instead of concentrating on only a few entry points, defenders had to cover more shoreline. In both the Pacific and European Theaters of World War II, Higgins Boats allowed Allied armies to move ashore. The success of these boats ensured that Higgins Industries would be a major employer during the War. A small workforce of only 75 workers in 1938 grew to over 20,000 by 1943. The Higgins workforce was the first in New Orleans to be racially integrated. His employees included undrafted white males, women, African Americans, the elderly and handicapped persons. All were paid equal wages according to their job rating. They responded by shattering production records, turning out more than 20,000 boats by the end of the war.

He is gorgeous.

These are very comfortable and versatile.

Yikes! I always remind myself that the grass is not always greener. My friends are trying to convince me to buy an apartment in Lisbon to be close to them but I have no interest. My home is here in NYC and Toronto. I don't mind visiting them for a few weeks but I am not confident that it would be my choice of city to retire in.

They should rank it according to museums, galleries, and michelin star restaurants. None of the top cities have anything to offer me. I'm quite happy and comfortable living here in NYC. Some of my friends who retired at 50 have moved to Portugal where the cost of living is way lower. I've been to Portugal many times but don't see the attraction there.

Good point. But, how does one do that? Ask the person at the front desk? They are likely to be part of the problem. Is there a registry somewhere?

Since we are all living vicariously through this unprecedented (at least to me) opportunity, i say yes please!!! Stream your shenanigans away!!! Will there be breakout rooms where we can watch the paired up couples/thrupples in various rooms or in the main room??? Inquiring minds want to know Thank you!!!

You live the fantasy! I'm salivating at your choices. Have you seen Nico? He seems like someone fun for a group setting

I believe the Brightline is a light rail/ train system servicing West Palm to Miami. Took it last year pre pandemic from a meeting in West Palm to South Beach/Miami. It seemed relatively user friendly and was quite convenient.

For some additional context (the video in question can still be viewed). Instead of building tolerance, i think that the lyrics triggered a backlash. Especially in the era of Jeffrey Epstein’s….I can see why it is so controversial. The refrain “converting children” was OK once or twice, but it is everywhere in the song and is a little cringeworthy. https://sfist.com/2021/07/08/extremely-funny-sf-gay-mens-chorus-video-unleashes-torrent-of-right-wing-threats-vitriol/

Female brothels posing as massage parlors are pretty prevalent in big cities like NYC. I sometimes have to accompany my hetero friend there as he needs a wing man. Sadly, those places do nothing for me.

I‘m non confrontational, so i just gave it to him.

Swallowing is always a pleasant surprise.

I went to a female massage parlor like that one with a straight friend in NYC‘s chinatown. The “front” was a small hair salon that had a secret door leading to a labrynth of dimly lit rooms. The anteroom had a large U shaped sectional where all these young girls in flimsy summer clothing sat waiting for their next customers. I think some were probably not there willingly… sadly.

Met with a standard twink in NYC today and he was good with 300. After the meeting, he asked for a 100$ tip as he said that normally he asks for 500… What was I supposed to do??? I quickly paid him 100 to make him go away. 400 is more for an Adonis muscle god. And, even some of them are happy with 300.

A lot of non pros are asking for more than 300 in NYC. So, yeah, like every industry (esp restaurants), escorts seem to be making for lost time during the pandemic, which I’m sure many have not been able to ply their craft. Happy to help out with the post pandemic surge pricing.

Has anyone had the pleasure of meeting this guy? Thinking about taking the plunge with this one. https://rent.men/comradegarcon His ad is well written and funny.

Flowers are discouraged as most places are scent free .

I agree. Mid to late 20s is the sweet spot for me. Any younger, they really don’t know how to please and need to be told what to do and are petulant.

He asked for 400… a little too much pour moi. But, I’m sure someone is paying those rates.

https://rent.men/AlexanderMullerr Met him a few times. Adonis dancer with great abs. I know he's from Brazil and moved back there and communicated with him during the Pandemic. Did the US open up to Brazilians already?

Obviously I have not been paying enough attention to the brazilian guys on RM! lol

Did the borders open up recently??? Or perhaps they were here since lockdown? https://rent.men/FernandoBraziil https://rent.men/PEDRO_BRAZILIAN https://rent.men/Hotbra

Not revenge spending, but living well. Just got a new pair of beautiful caiman alligator shoes from Loro Piana. Now i have to wait for the belt.

Too bad i didn‘t hire RG when he was a a prostidude….love that term.
