Maybe it's not that other guys are ignoring you, maybe it's you ignoring other guys.

Bob Hope, back in the day. I agreed with Johnny Carson who stated that every joke that Hope ever delivered was written for him and that Hope "couldn't ad-lib a fart after a baked bean dinner."

More recently, trying to watch Stranger Things, Winona Ryder's over-acting is so distracting that it's hard to watch the show. It's one constant hysterical screech. She's probably a dear person in real life, but, for God's sake, get some acting lessons!

Interesting video about "The Kilted Coaches"learning ballet. A brief bit of butt at 7:08. I'm totally into the professional dancer in green shorts.
 

It's my understanding that Armie Hammer did more than have fantasies. Apparently he put his fantasies in the form or requests to various women - one of whom he told he'd "like to break my rib and barbecue and eat it."
 
Per The Toronto Sun:
 
The news comes weeks after one ex-lover, Paige Lorenze, told The Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia that Hammer allegedly wanted to remove one of her ribs and eat it.
 
“He asked me on multiple occasions to remove my ribs,” she said. “He wanted to find a doctor in L.A. to, like, remove the ribs that I don’t need. And he wanted to, like, he has a smoker at his house in L.A. and he wanted to smoke it and eat it (sic)… He would always say, ‘I wonder what it tastes like, I bet it tastes good’.”
 
Another ex, Courtney Vucekovich, told Daily Mail.com in an exclusive interview that the Call Me By Your Name star was into “master-slave fetishes” and allegedly told her he wanted to break and eat her ribs.
 
His former GF is also alleging that Hammer was "abusive and manipulative."
 
I agree with you that one's personal fantasies are nobody's business and the absurdity of the requests suggests to me that he likely was joking (bad joking). I still think that Armie was miscast in CMBYN as he looked much older than the supposed 25, and lacked chemistry with his co-star. Other than that, I have no idea whether the allegations are true or not. Apparently some Hollywood big shots have been spooked by the rumors since he was dropped from two movies as well as by his long time Talent Agency. I would doubt that the CMBYN producers would risk inserting him into a movie about forbidden love esp when he's being accused of wanting to barbecue and eat his lovers. Unless, of course, the sequel has a Hannibal Lector subplot.

I totally agree - Armie Hammer appeared to be much older than 25 in CMBYN and was totally miscast (Armie was 31 when the movie was shot). More importantly I did not sense any chemistry between him and the beautiful Timothée Chalamet. Armie's character arrives one day, plays volleyball shirtless, dances wildly with the girls, and suddenly he's lying seductively in the meadow with the teenage son of his mentor. A more accomplished (and nuanced) actor like Nicholas Hoult (one of my faves since A Single Man) could have created a bit more sexual tension and have avoided some of the "pedo-feel" that some have suggested with Armie. It was a good movie and the final scene, with Timothée staring tearfully into the fireplace while the credits rolled (I'm guessing a lot of us have had similar experiences?) was superb. Wondering if Armie's cannibalism fantasies may affect his participation in CMBYN Part Deux.

Giovanni was nice and Vinn was accommodating. In the end (no pun intended), I went with Kevin (link below) and I'm happy I did. He spent about two hours with me w/out looking at the clock. He may be making an encore appearance this evening.

I once had lunch with a News Director at a local network affiliate who told me that their local TV news anchor, despite appearing affable & laid-back onscreen, was a real a-hole douche bag as soon as the camera was turned off. He said that these local TV "celebrities" get such public recognition and adulation that they develop a huge sense of entitlement and start to think that everyone is there to serve their needs. If this is true for a medium-sized media market, I can only imagine the size of the EGO's of the Prima Donnas that lurk the halls of the major networks in NYC and LA.

While we're on this grave subject, you may not know that Federal law requires funeral homes to accept caskets that consumers have purchased from another source, such as an online retailer. You may also build your own casket, if you prefer. Costco has great prices on caskets - you might even catch them on sale and get one dirt cheap.

Sometimes real names are more risqué than fake. True name of clergyman from southern Indiana whose obituary started:
 
Father Firmus Dick, 82, passed away at Memorial Hospital in Jasper, Jan. 13.
A vigil service will be held at St. Ferdinand Church in Ferdinand on Monday, Jan. 18, at 1:30 p.m. EST.

To paraphrase what Groucho might say on the subject: "I wouldn't hire an escort who would have me for a boyfriend."

The most impressive technology in a business office was an IBM Selectric typewriter. At home, I was still using my father's big Underwood manual, which he got after my grandfather closed his office during the Depression. Putting in a new print ribbon was always tricky.
Turn signals were an available option on new cars, so you didn't have to stick your left arm out the window to signal which direction you intended to turn. I remember my uncle showing off the turn signals on his new 1950 Plymouth, to my father, who did not have them on his 1947 Pontiac--both popular auto brands that had disappeared by the end of the century.

Ah-men.

You are right - winter and the yuletide holidays are not the "most wonderful time of the year" esp for those among us who feel the incongruity of their personal lives as compared to the mirth and conviviality portrayed in movies & advertisements. Congratulations on identifying your feelings and seeking help!
I provided individual, group, and family therapy for many years and, for a while, worked in Philly. But that was many years ago and I don't have any current therapists to recommend. But I do offer a link that may give you the opportunity to review some of the therapists in the Philly area, along with info about their specialties, treatment philosophy, and financial arrangements.  I have checked the listings on the linked site for the therapists in my own local area and they are, for the most part, competent & reliable. Check out the site, click on the "more..." filter, and then click the "LGBTQ+" filter if you want someone who is likely either gay or gay-friendly. (A therapist may or may not divulge his/her sexual preference but many will.)

Therapy is not cheap. Fortunately, most insurance policies pay for some limited treatment. You would be wise to check with your insurance provider to determine coverage. I believe that Medicare, Part B, pays for 80% of "medically necessary" therapy.
Once you have identified a few therapists that appeal to you, call and set up an initial session. Some therapists offer a free session for you to ask questions and see if you and the therapist are a good match. But remember that therapy is not "rent-a-friend." Therapy is about change, and nobody likes change,, even in our misery. So, sometimes a therapist who may be a little demanding might be just what you need. And please, don't get frustrated if your mood doesn't improve overnight.
Don't wait. Call today. And, if you think that I could offer any support, advice, or encouragement, DM me. I don't often participate in the forums, but I do visit occasionally to see what's going on. Good luck.

I certainly like younger men with great bodies, but I get super excited over men who have massive, throbbing vocabularies, regardless of age..
