The generalization and platitudes in this response are interesting. Culture will never be snuffed out. It will change. It will ebb & flow. You can rally against change, but know that no matter what you do, you will never truly stop what's happening.

Even though I've seen this show more times than I can count, the starry casting got me to buy tickets. https://www.hollywoodbowl.com/events/performances/583/2019-07-26/into-the-woods

Competition with 'younger clients?' That's a new one for me. I'm an escort. I see men of all kinds. If you're working guy who's discriminating based on age or look, you're an asshole. Just be you. YOU should be good enough for the best of us.

Sorta, but not entirely. For example, American just announced they're stopping the 'Oasis' project on their 737-8s because of extremely poor customer feedback. https://onemileatatime.com/american-suspends-737-refresh-program/ Premium hard and soft product on airlines have never been better (premium economy, business, first). It's simply economy that's taken a backseat, and frankly, can you blame them? People expect far too much from their $300 coast-to-coast ticket. They have no loyalty. They want steak on a bologna budget. The 'golden era' of flying worked for a variety of reasons that don't exist today- most importantly, the cost of a ticket then was much, much more expensive (even for coach). I'm just playing devil's advocate here. I fly a lot. I'm a realist when it comes to my opinions on commercial air travel.

You're turning me on with this kinda talk. ... Name a vintage. Get me rock hard.

I mean, sure, but highly unlikely until the price of jet fuel comes crashing down

Saw this again last night. I wanted to revisit it on an inexpensive TDF ticket. I still dislike it, perhaps even more so: I felt that no one in the show was capable of singing this music in the style it's presented except for the singularly-enjoyable Ali Stroker. The band was talented, but the score was ruined for me due to the wildly changed orchestrations. The set looked like a bingo hall and Home Depot had an illegitimate child. The Dream Ballet was a hot mess. Someone trying too hard to make a statement. The blackouts. The video. The cornbread and chili. All unnecessary. Community/university theatre moves, imo. This whole show was directed for young people who would immediately post on social media that they 'were shook' after seeing it. This should have stayed at St Ann's where it's more suited, as it's really not a Broadway caliber show.

This thread will end well.

Unless it's a trained, papered service dog (blind, deaf, true physical disability), no animal needs to be out of a carrier on a commercial airliner. I can only hope that DL has to cough up a gigantic sum of damages on this, causing them to nut up and pass some actual regulations on these so-called 'emotional support' animals. Agreed. Take a Xanax and have a glass of pinot grigio like the rest of us.

Awww. Pulling context from such a long time ago. What a precious Fox News tactic

This. 100% this. I'd really say it's a human trait, overall. Envy and pride have always been some of the most popular of the Seven Deadly.

Gay men forgive anything if the picture if pretty

... And yet, people will still contact him for meets. Hence: With the right pictures, guys will forgive/forget just about anything.

I believe they have the money... Just not the attention span to see it through. Bottom line, once it's on the web, it's never truly yours again.

If the industry went after copyright violation the way Hollywood protects their product, this might help stop it. A cease & desist- or even worse, a weak email warning like the op's, is meaningless unless the studio or website is willing to pull the trigger on a flesh and blood lawsuit.

Jesus Christ. This is ridiculous. Dr Benjamin suggests taking one pill a day. Simple, effective and the most surefire way to medicinally protect yourself against HIV. Why the hell do people need to needlessly complicate this and, clearly, not understand the correct 'on-demand' dosing? Yeah, there are exceptions to the rule, but for most people, one pill a day works.

Well, fuck. I thought we were going to work into some hot sneaker fetish talk.

Thank you for saying this. Agreed wholeheartedly. I don't want to fuck my trainer: I want them to do their job. This is one part of my life I will never, ever sexualize.

Funny you mention this, as I see a few guys who gently warn me from getting 'too big' so that I didn't look like overstuffed sausage in formalwear. Even with great tailoring or bespoke (which many muscle guys don't take the time to do), it's still a tough look to sell. They tend to seriously stand out in a crowd and in many instances, that's not always a positive thing.

It's the nature of the beast. I'm 6'3" 205 and still feel like a small guy at times. As long as you feel you can control it versus it controlling you.

Did we just U-turn from dick to foot fetish?

Too many guys, gay and straight, don't anchor progress in stable, healthy muscle mentality. That's how people end up with lifelong self-image issues, steroid abuse and other things that tend to haunt you. Good overall health, flexibility and smart aging is the cornerstone of a solid gym routine.

With escorts getting flagged more frequently, I'd recommend guys use conservative common sense when transiting back and forth. Don't kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

Verbal porn always feels forced (to me). Being verbal in-person, in reality, is a whole different thing. That can be fucking hot.

If a guy can nut from being blown... Big plus. If a guy smells like piss or isn't really prepared for play... No bueno.
