Advance clients are the absolute best 👍

'Siri, define chip-on-your-shoulder' NYC and LA are both great cities if you don't have a sharp stick in your ass about them.

I've never been the biggest fan of B6. They do a fine domestic product with enthusiastic crews, but having flown in Mint Studio overseas, the seat wasn't designed well for a tall/muscular guy. It had little privacy due to the very tight herringbone design of cabin seating. I will say their catering is solid. And the FAs are some of the nicest out there. Very happy employees.

I may be on that sailing. I did the Explora I the first month it was running and it's a GREAT product by MSC. Same client wants to try out the sister ship. Will also be on Viking's Polaris next month. Have done their river and ocean, but never this size. Very much looking forward to it.

The QA looks like it'll be beautiful. Enjoy the voyage! This QM2 drydock wasn't nearly as revolutionary as many drydocks tend to go. This was mostly paint and carpet. For a better idea of the particulars, Cruise Critic has a great thread on it. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2971338-refit-pics/page/6/ Not that the ship needs some massive design shift, but Cunard handled this one with a very light touch.

I'd take this to the Fetish forum, as that's exactly what this is.

Can this thread please be retitled 'Dare To Dream... The Ever-Elusive Escort Operational Upgrade.'

This is why bathhouses exist

Exactly. From ham-and-egger posters who have less than 10 posts to their name.

Different for everyone. 56 has been kind enough to do the work for you. Search through and read up.

This. Less than a dozen posts and already a sniper. That's cause for question. It also doesn't help that some of these replies sound either drunk or like they were put into a blender and someone hit the 'frappe' button.

Yeah, I second this. Plus, it's annoying as fuck on a site designed for non-paid hookups to constantly sift through messages with GEN in them. It's bad enough that Grindr now has a ton of women on the grid.

Amongst a subset of clients, there are what I call 'the savers.' Guys who offer a lot of unsolicited advice in order to 'save' you from making mistakes, running a better business or because they somehow think you can't keep your shit together. I had a lot of those when I was younger. It was annoying then. It's annoying now. In knowing people, you know immediately when it's genuine and well-meaning or if it's a power play. I'm sorry you're dealing with shit like this.

Harvard is still great, but there's always going to be the pervasive culture of 'we're an Ivy' and it prevents a lot of those kids from seeing clearly, realistically. Like most higher education, it's an extreme bubble.

This thread remains a good reminder that no matter what age you are, if you're sexually active, you should find a way to access PrEP. If you're having a lot of sex, I'd ask a doctor about on-demand doxyPrEP. Condoms, sure, but for a lot of guys, that's just not realistic anymore. They're not using them. They won't use them.

This is both stupid and insane.

With gay places like these dwindling, it's a little surprising to see prices so high for meh quality. Key West now has the same issue. Two gay B&Bs left. They routinely run $400+ a night. Not worth the premium (imo). These places also are dealing with a dying audience. Young gays aren't wanting to stay at places like these and their customer base is aging out. The next decade is going to be interesting to see what happens to them.

As my dad used to say, 'You cannot outrun Motorola'

It's a hot look on the right guy. Wifebeaters are a staple for me. Super comfy. Cheap. Easily washed.

NOICE!

New season is now out, but if you haven't seen it, catch up. It's half-travelogue, half-cooking show and very funny. https://www.netflix.com/title/80146601

I have so many questions. Is there a Red Lobster crustacean lounge somewhere for you high elites? Are you invited to see them catch, process and freeze their stone crab? During the Darden days, would you look down on Olive Garden diners who didn't have an elite program? Do you get the least-sad looking live lobster in the tank? I kid, I kid. But seriously, Midwesterners love seafood, but often have spotty access to it which is why RL does well in middle America. It's not great fish, but it's often times all a city/town has. RL was very, very savvy in where they built their locations.

I can read. I understand. I just provided my opinion. And btw, asking for proof on something like this is absurd.

If you're going to be sexually active, you should probably look into adding PrEP into the mix. As others have said, only YOU are responsible for you. Use every tool at your disposal. Otherwise, don't mess with a good thing.

Never invite me to your home. I'm not to be trusted. I'll go through your master bath drawers and dissect your skincare routine, offering unsolicited advice over breakfast.
