The picture of Trump made me think twice about tanning, but my friend at the salon assured me it would look natural. Hell, no one would know me anyway....except my escort and I'm paying him to like me. Someone suggested I stop being so self-conscious about myself. He's SO right. I need to work on that.

Thank you for the advice! I didn't know if it would be appropriate or not.

I did a little searching on Facebook this morning to see if I could find more info about my hunky bartender. I used his first name, which isn't too common, along with the area the restaurant is in, and low and behold, a name pops up with his picture. Once I went through the Facebook pictures I went to Instagram and found more pictures. Taking the information and piecing it together revealed a very interesting young man. He's a college student working on a pre law degree. He is the lead singer and guitar in a local rock band. He loves dogs. From time to time interesting quotes concerning the human condition show up with his pictures. He's a body builder and certified to be a personal conditioning coach. Of course, everyone is wondering if he's gay. Very interesting. I came across a picture of him playing his guitar with a gay pride flag superimposed over it. There were several comments to the side of the picture including one from an uncle who seemed to disagree with his support of the gay community and wondered what his father thought. This gifted young man shot right back at him uncle saying he was 18, an adult, and he would form his own opinions about such matters and continued to explain how being gay is not a choice. Now, no where does he say he's gay. He could very well just be an individual who stands up for the LGBT community. His mother even weighed in and said that she and her husband raised their children to stand up for what they believe and be able to discuss issues with people. It looks like he had one or two relationships with girls in high school and maybe college, but it looks like there's no relationship going on now. He was a high school cheerleader for most of his high school career, and I guess that could set off the gaydar, but there are lots of male cheerleaders who are straight. Anyway, he was a cheerleader and he sure had the guns to lift those ladies high in the air. Well, that's our boy. He sounds like a very special young man. As a retired teacher, it's very rewarding to know and work with young people like this. As an old gay man I can only wish I were 30 years younger. I have a picture, but I can't figure out how to attach it.

Wow! Talk about a difference of opinions. I discussed the issue at length with the lady at the salon. She said the bronze wears off overnight. I asked her if she thought I should go ahead and try it and she thought I should. This was a friend telling me this, not just beautician trying to sell me something. Hey, why not try it once and see for myself? Thanks for all the info.

Heading to Vegas next week. I'd rather not look like a beached white whale (yes I am overweight. I asked the lady who cuts my hair if she had a spray tan product she'd recommend that wouldn't turn me orange. She said they did spray tans at her salon. She said it would look very bronze when you first get it applied, but over night it would turn into a light tan. I think she said it would only last 4-5 days. Any recommendations?

I doubt if bartenders are allowed to drink with the patrons.

I left a decent tip, but afterwards thought it could have been bigger. It's a Lone Star Restaurant. I don't know if their bar is the neighborhood bar type. I think it's more of a wait at the bar until a table opens up kind a place, but I'm sure that doesn't mean you can't come in for a drink or two. No ring. No real gay vibe, though you never know these days. He reminds me of two of my former escorts, Andrew Irons (not AJ), and Troy in Las Vegas. They were very straight acting. I wonder if he's a college student? An athlete? Is he's a student is he local or will he be going away to school this week? Hey, I'm old enough to be his grandfather.

Exactly! I don't have a family that I have to support, and I am seeing people I know who are around my age and they have a hard time getting around. I'm still in generally good health and can get around pretty easily, but how long that will last I don't know. I sometimes think I spent too much on travel and escorts in my younger years, but now I look back and am glad I did.

I'm embarrassed to say that I did sneak a few pics while pretending to be checking my emails. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable posting them or one of them. I'd have to do some cropping. Stay tuned.

Thanks! I plan these get togethers once or twice a year as part of a trip to either Vegas or New York City. One, or if affordable, two nights of each trip I set up as a date night with a hot hunk of an escort. I described my idea of the perfect night or date with a hot guy in a past thread and that's what I strive to do. I go all out to find the perfect hotel room (that's affordable), a memorable restaurant for dinner, and an escort who fits my idea of a dream to create an amazing evening. It gets a little expensive, especially when you consider my limited income, but I've come to the conclusion that I need to set more money aside each year for this activity, because I truly believe it's important to my mental health and being happy. The hotel will be the Wynn in Vegas with a corner room that has two walls with floor to ceiling windows. The restaurant will be the Top of the World at the Stratosphere (my most expensive meal of the year). You can't beat the atmosphere there. The escort will be one of the highest rated guys out there, who still has reasonable prices. In fact, I don't know how I've missed him all these years.

UPDATE! TONIGHT IT WAS STEAK AND BARTENDER! I decided to eat at the steakhouse tonight hoping that the bartending hunk would be working, and I wasn't disappointed. Walked in and the hostess told me it would be a 10 minute wait...…..OR I could sit at the full-service bar. (Be smart I told myself) I calmly told the hostess that I'd sit at the bar. I looked over towards the bar and there he was! I sat at the bar and over walks this cute, cute, cute well built hunk (5'9"/ 170? 180?) in black rimmed glasses; smooth, tanned skin; body hugging black t-shirt revealing a muscular torso and beautiful biceps; and tight jeans holding back an awesome ass and muscular legs. The bartending hunk would be my waiter for the night (slow down heart, act natural). He told me his name, then when he took my order he asked for my name to put on the order, and he called me by my name all night which a good bartender is supposed to do . Though, come to think about it he didn't call anyone else by name (don't read anything into it). He was a great bartender; very personable and attentive to all his customers. He did everything an exceptional bartender would do. You could tell he was a sharp young man. There was no real opportunity to talk to him, but that was okay. He was just nice to look at. By the way, I had the 16 once sirloin.

I lived in a small town and went to high school in the 60's. We never thought about anyone being gay. It just wasn't anything people talked about. Later in life my job and where I live have kept me from having the courage to come out. I'm sure there are a lot of people who know and never say anything. There have only been around four or five people who have asked. A couple of them were individuals who didn't deserve a truthful answer. One was a close friend who lived 200 miles way and I finally told her the truth. And it felt so good to tell someone! The other was my elderly father and I lied to him, because I knew there was no way he'd understand. I forgot, my niece talked to me about it and I told her the truth, because I knew she'd understand. I'm getting together with an escort next week for an overnight, and one of the reasons I'm excited about it is because I get a chance to be myself and talk to someone about gay things.

What a good idea to have your deli make up a care package. The few times I've flown first class and a meal was offered they weren't too bad. Better than anything I'd make at home. Steak is usually my first choice. I hate it when I'm in the mood for steak and the restaurant only offers 9 oz. cuts. That's why I like the big steak houses where you can get 16 or 20 oz. cuts. Though I'm finding the 12 ouncers can be pretty filling in my old age. There are times, though, I have to have pasta which I love almost as much as steak. Steak and pasta at the same time might be a little much, though in Italy they have their pasta almost like we eat a salad before the main course.

I never make up shopping lists. I'm too unorganized. However it might be a nice change. Better yet, I could make a list of everything I need to do around the house that I've putting off. However, that would end up depressing me. I'm a big procrastinator. There's always porn on the internet.

I plan too.

Couldn't decide which local restaurant I wanted to go to this evening or what kind of food I was in the mood for. I eventually narrowed the options down to steak or pasta. I could have gone either way, but then I remembered the bartender at the steak house. Decision made. I went to the place with the eye candy. Steak it would be! I tell ya, this guy is quite the hunk and a real cutie. He's somewhere around 5'8" 0r 5'9"; lean, muscular upper body (hard to see the waist down behind the bar). He looks so sexy in the tight black t-shirt he was wearing. I'm thinking he's of Latino descent...tanned skin with the black hair. He has the cutest face, however what really got my harmones charged up were his black rimmed, geekish glasses. There's something about a well built, cute guy wearing glasses that's so hot to me. I get to the restaurant, and lots of times when I go to a restaurant by myself the hostess asks if I want to sit at the bar, and tonight was no different. She asked if I would like to sit at the bar, but kind-of resenting being asked that all the time I told her I would rather have a booth. As I sat down at the booth I could have kicked myself in the ass. What have I done? There he was; around 35 feet away taking care of the customers at the bar and I chose to sit at a distant booth! Well, the steak was good. If I sat at the bar I probably would have embarrassed myself by staring at him throughout dinner. This was the most excitement I had all weekend.

If you're in London you might want to check out Mama Mia. I was watching " West End Live: Mama Mia 2018" on YouTube and I couldn't take my eyes off the guy who plays Sky...Alec Porter. There are quite a few hot guys in this cast, but I think you'll be able to pick out Alec. Good physique. Curly hair. Awesome eyes . Cute. Cute. Cute. Did I mention the awesome eyes? I think you'll figure out which one he is. If not enjoy the others.

I, too, was kind of wondering if there was any connection between being into smoking and "pot". Though, if so, I'd think more people would need to understand that.

This may seem like a stupid question, but on Rentmen there's a place where escorts list what they are into, and I've noticed that quite a few list smoking. Does this mean THEY smoke or could it mean they don't mind if a client smokes? If it means that they smoke I'm a little surprised, because of all the escorts I've hired over the years I've only hired one who smoked. If I know ahead of time that they smoke I won't hire them, because I can't stand the smell of smoke on someone's breath. Bad breath is a true mood killer for me. I always thought very few escorts smoked, especially the ones who really looked after their physiques. Anyway, are more escorts into smoking these days or does the Rentmen list simply imply that they don't care if a client smokes?

Ah....muscle worship. Give me a nice, DIMLY lit hotel room on a high floor of a hotel with floor to ceiling windows and a beautiful view of the city lights. Throw in a cute, boy next door, smooth, tanned, muscular, defined, hunk with a V-shaped torso, amazing eyes, and a sensuous, cocky, sexy personality. I would stand him in front of the window and have him flex as I explored his body with my hands and mouth. Gradually, I'd lead him to the bed where I massage him and continue exploring his physique with gentle, caressing hands, and foreplay. Now it is time for me to insert the vanilla activities I'm comfortable with and then end the evening activities with me relaxing in his strong arms or falling asleep while being embraced by him. Okay, I need an escort and soon!

Update: ACLU had a hearing which resulted in the principal and resource police officer being removed, and oversight from the department of education (state?).

Has anyone heard the about two gay students holding hands at North Bend High School in Oregon, being forced to read the Bible as punishment? From what I understand, the school is trying to transfer a counselor who was trying to help the students. Other accusations involving homophobic slurs and actions from some students and faculty were also reported. In fact, one story involves the principal's son calling gay students homophobic names. The ACLU and state department of education are now involved.

On NBC this morning it sounded like Yanny, then later in the day on the car radio it sounded like Laurel.

I enjoy looking at Anthony Slaughter of KSDK in St. Louis. He's the father of 5 year twin boys, but can't find anything about a girl/boy friend or husband/wife. Sterling Brown is his uncle.
