I just mentioned this. Exactly right.

Well, for my older brothers, believe it or not, what people call “old man smell” actually has a scientific basis. It’s tied to a compound called 2-nonenal that develops as skin chemistry changes with age (40 plus). It can create that faint musty note people talk about. It’s important we stay active. As best as we can. Guys who stay socially (and even sexually) active tend to stay on top of grooming (clean clothes, fresh bedding, all of it) so you don’t really notice it. But sorry fellas, the phenomenon itself is real.

You are amazing! Wow! Thank you.

Only 8.5”. Darn, so close. Back to the drawing board.

Hi @Whitman! Is there a video of this? Do you know the names of the players by chance? Thank you.

Too many e’s?

I think the incentive used to be exposure and money, especially back in the day when there were fewer avenues for visibility. Today, though, I’m not sure there’s much clout or payoff unless someone is already leaning into that kind of branding. Plus now we have the internet so print means nothing. There’s also still a cultural difference. Male nudity has and will likely always read more aggressively or sexually than female nudity, so the upside for straight men isn’t always obvious.

Yes. Playgirl was actually aimed at women, not gay men. Basically the female counterpart to Playboy. It just ended up with a big gay male readership because there weren’t many mainstream outlets featuring male nudity. While not labeled, many men who posed were gay (or later identified as gay).

I think we’re seeing the in-between phase. There’s upward pressure from the conflict and Hormuz, but it’s being softened by reserves and people cutting back on driving. If things continue to escalate or drag out, it probably won’t stay that mild. If more people start pulling back, that’s when it becomes a broader GDP issue, not just gas prices.

I don’t understand. Almost a year ago, he blocks you and for reasons not entirely clear you decide to reach out again through a different contact source. Why?

Dennehy was brilliant! One of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen. I recently saw this new production by Mantello, and thought it was terrific. Nathan Lane is in a new era. Between this and Angels in America, he’s really in a class all his own. He brings so much weight, vulnerability, and quiet devastation to Willy Loman that it just sits with you long after the curtain falls. Having it at the winter garden, which is a huge stage, was an interesting choice. I’m used to seeing this in smaller venues. It’s stripped down, but still raw and deeply human. Lane, Metcalf and Abbott give performances that remind you why theater still hits harder than anything else.

The way “super sweet” just sat there minding its business while the rest of this review unfolded. -
I don’t know how anyone really stays “out of it” when a client is on PNP. You’re still in the room with everything that comes with it, behavior, judgment, the whole dynamic. That can be a lot.

I’m not entirely convinced that he is.

They need more than one sauce option.

Interesting. In my experience, the thicker ones tend to feel firmer than those that are longer.

His waist is not the first thing that comes to mind. -
Finding peace in the ordinary. A good drink, a quiet night, and not feeling like I need to be anywhere else. And rewatching Downton Abbey with no one to bitch about it.

Donating stock rather than a check
+ ApexNomad replied to Cooper's topic in Personal Finance & Investing
If you donate long-term appreciated shares directly to a qualified charity, the built-in gain is never realized, so you don’t pay capital gains tax on it. If you sell first and then donate, you’d still owe the tax. The only real downsides are the AGI limits (usually around 30% for appreciated stock), the holding period rules, and a bit more paperwork. Definitely worth talking to a CPA or financial advisor based on your specific situation. -

+ ApexNomad replied to TBD's topic in Questions About Hiring
Given that a moderator, who is also a provider, introduced Marylander’s post into this thread, it follows that there’s a broader context the moderation team should consider. We’ve already seen providers step away. The thread speaks for itself. -

He’s offering a service, seems genuinely happy doing it based on a prior thread, and clearly has clients. So what’s the point of posting it if not to tear him down? This wasn’t asking for experience or reviews, or offering either. Comments about body size and “measuring up” do get pushback here, from providers and members alike, so it’s not like this hasn’t been called out before. -

I think this is less about whether a market exists and more about how the question is being asked. When you take a real person’s body and frame it as is there a market for this, it stops feeling like a business discussion and starts feeling like public evaluation. Whether intentional or not, it opens the door for people to pile on, scrutinize or reduce someone to how they measure up. The broader impact in my opinion isn’t just on the person in the ad, but on anyone reading this who sees themselves in that body type or age bracket. It reinforces the idea that certain bodies are up for debate, or more importantly, somehow less valid. I guess the bigger question is why are we even doing this? He clearly has a market. He has reviews. So what’s the purpose of dissecting it like this?
