Aman already confirmed they wouldn't let White Lotus film on property. It would ruin it. Let the Four Seasons have the massive tourist influx.

Yup. Out of the 35 Amans, I've stayed at 22 of them. Can't find fault with any experience I've had with them. Most repeat stays: Amangiri. Both with clients and personal visits. Also a big fan of Rosewood Hotels. I'll be at the Rosewood London next month for almost three weeks. Aman Tokyo has my favorite lobby of all of the Amans. The bar there is super social too.

I've sailed on all of their ships. It's a solid product. That said, the changes made since the first year are evident and they're trying to attract a more middle-America clientele like other cruise ships. Less risque entertainment. More typical cruise shit. The food is still solid. Some unique choices (for being on the ocean). The rooms are small and not beautifully built-out. Even suites feel small, except for the bathrooms (which are huge). The hammock on the balcony is a nice touch, but it concerns me how dirty they get and how infrequently they're cleaned. The crew is amazing. They speak to guests like normal people, ask real questions about your life and are encouraged to interact. ... And by interact, I mean doing multiple shots of Jameson together. A few of those nights were a blur thanks to the bar staff at The Loose Cannon. Great gym facility. Large spa. Unique entertainment spaces. A lot of small, quiet alcoves on the ship to hide out if you're not into the 'scene'

Just saw a preview of this tonight. Still processing, but bottom line, go see it if you can. It's a one-woman show, but thanks to an incredible use of technology, it's truly an entire cast. Sarah Snook (Succession) is an absolute powerhouse. The whole production is just so beautifully designed and executed. https://doriangrayplay.com/

But that's not what you said. You said... 'I have decided to stop being a nice client from now on. I now realize why some clients are rude and hard on their hires.' Translation: You had a shitty experience with one escort so now you think that gives you carte blanche to be an asshole. It doesn't A lot of escorts deliver on what they promise. You didn't find that guy. Did you do your homework? Is he reviewed? Did you do any due diligence? Also, did you pay him up-front for the weekend? If not, why would you give him a full-fee for such an awful experience? Bottom line is that, yes, he was a dud, but also take some blame where it's due. Live and learn, but don't treat the next escort like shit.

The book was better than the film. As per usual.

Why do they swallow? Because I tell them to

I have an apartment in Mexico City, so that's most likely. I'd also go to Canada, as I think their standard of living and general culture is very enjoyable.

Don't an asshole. You made the wrong decision. Lesson learned. That gives you zero right to be 'hard' on your 'hires' in the future.

You're waxing poetic about them because they're your type. Step back from the ledge.

Hey now, these are joggers and not tights. It's not my fault my legs are muscular enough to blur that line.

Most gay men don't have the enduring social skill or sexual compunction to be great escorts.

What it means is that he didn't get the support he expected when posting this and then vacated the thread AQAP.

Even with Geffen money, a smart escort weights the risk vs reward. If they're willing to leave you the farm, that's one thing and a fine reason to make yourself charming and indispensable. If they're going to treat you like hired meat- albeit in a very expensive environment- that's quite different. Why make some money now when you can end up with fuck-you money later?

That might depend on who's grandma and how flexible she is.

You basically just described the whole internet... And society, in general. It is what it is. In life, you are tasked with separating the wheat from the chaff. Sure, there's bullshit on Reddit, but there's also a plethora of good, solid info, intelligent discussion and some very funny people.

Hawaii is kinda magical. I always value the time I get to spend there. I feel like time stands still on the islands. That said, after dark, some of the islands can become downright desolate. It takes a day or two for me to slow my roll. You go to relax. You go to appreciate nature. Get some sun. Indulge in some great local food options. Appreciate the mid-afternoon nap.

A lot of would-be working guys in Austin realized they can make more on OF than escorting. I know several tall, built, white guys in Austin who could make a small fortune quietly escorting, but they don't want the bother and for many of them, they're just not cut out for it. They work better solo or with guys who are in their looks league.

There's the /SexWorkers subthread, but it's pro-escort, predominantly female-based and really doesn't function much like this place. The mods there are very present and aware. One fuck up and they'll ban you.

I enjoy Reddit, but stay clear of the political subthreads. Not my thing. It's a brilliant place to learn more about the things you already like. It's also a great resource to diagnose (and treat) widespread issues with tech. Some of the city/metro based subthreads are also incredible for food and culture suggestions.

This is what a lot of Westerners don't realize when they go to Asia: Many places (baths, bars) don't want them there. It's interesting to see how they handle it, as the Japanese specifically are not rude people. They will just quietly ice you out until you get the hint. It's happened to me at Tokyo gay bars before. It was a lesson for me to do better research the next time.

Sharpe had an absolutely beautiful build when shooting S2. It's rare I'm watching an actor and absolutely envious of his build, but he was that guy when I saw him shirtless/naked.

Slothing?

Hey, hey kids. Reminder: Don't always say 'yes' when your injector wants to add more filler.

I would agree. If you're going to make me sit through this much bland exposition, at least give me hotter guys to watch like Will Sharpe and Theo James. The cast this season is quickly becoming the Temu version of the White Lotus we expect.
