  1. Blacklists still exist with a lot of pertinent info out there on those who are serial cancelers, bullshitters, etc. Mr Number seems to be the new, faster way to report. To me, private blacklists are still the clearinghouse, as they usually have personal info about the client that make it more difficult for them to just switch to another burner number and continue the behavior.
  2. I find just the opposite. Native NY'ers are mostly no-bullshit people and, in my travels, easy to get along with. If you're straight forward and can get the point across in five words instead of five hundred, you'll do fine. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. That's the truth.
  3. Yeah, that sounds healthy and normal.
  4. As PT Barnum once said, You can't fool all of the people, all of the time. That he didn't fuck was a novelty for a hot minute. That minute has long since passed.
  5. As S2 continues, it feels like the plot is lazily meandering just for the sake of the audience taking shots in the dark about what's going to happen. It's Hitchcock meets Albee... On horse tranquilizers. S1 was much more interesting from a script POV. Better acted. More defined characters. There's already a S3 in the works. I hope they return to form.
  6. Trust me when I say you're currently spending a ton of money with organizations and corps that do equally as horrible things to this world. People can rarely talk the talk AND walk the walk. That said, it's your prerogative and I don't fault anyone for their travel preferences. You do what makes you comfortable, but don't fault others for their want to explore.
  7. QR, if equipped with the suites, is a better J product than what EK offers. It's newer and the seat is a LOT more comfortable. Emirates is letting a lot of their equipment age and the only real star left in their crown is if you're flying in F on the A380.
  8. Yes, mostly. Most people who bash Dubai have never actually been, much less been multiple times and understand how their culture and custom work. It's not like Russia in the least.
  9. It's a good concept, but the writing was stronger first season. I feel the sophomore slump, already. Coolidge was a nice carry-over from S1, but there's not enough to like about her character to keep her as the steady throughout this entire series. The show is a love-letter to wherever it's being filmed (and that's always fun). They seem to have a hard on for Four Seasons properties. The whole show is basically Agatha Christie for people with short attention spans.
  10. Yes. Several times.
  11. Money is why people end up in Dubai. Because there's a ton of it and more coming out of the ground on the daily. It's not just older men who have the money. A lot of young, wealthy gay men who base there.
  12. But you ARE posting anonymously. No one knows you. No one connects your screen name to anything else. You have what you want already.
  13. Love this scent. My dad and grandfather used to wear it. I keep a small bottle of it in the back of my collection.
  14. Le Labo Santal 33 Still overworn and most people use way too much of it, but when applied properly, it's sexy and complex. Reminds me of many good times at the Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC, circa 2007.
  15. Agreed. I've accessorized mine with decorative beading, tasteful glitter and colorful construction paper. It really adds something to the experience.
  16. Yeah, this hit me the same way as someone putting ketchup on a Chicago dog.
  17. Exacerbating these possible failures with lifestyle choices is the likely culprit here. It's still unfortunate, but avoidable. You can only chase the party life for so long. It all catches up.
  18. PrEP was highly unlikely the cause for what we're talking about here.

  20. People make a huge deal about this, but the actual decrease in function is miniscule. Under 2.5% in the worst cases. Let's be realistic: You have a greater chance of injuring yourself from long-term usage of aspirin than PrEP.
  21. Hep A&B vax. PrEP (either injectable or pill). You can also look into DoxyPrEP if you and your doc think it's a good idea. Meningitis vax is a smart idea. HPV vax series is a must. More gay men need it. It's not pushed as hard as it should be.
  22. I started this in September and yes, it's more effective than oral forms of PrEP. Actually, it's incredibly more effective. Hence why I pushed my doc to get it and administer. https://www.poz.com/article/apretude-approvedthe-first-longacting-injectable-prep-option
  23. I've always had good luck with Juan and his company. Have used them for airport transports, as well as having a driver on standby for getting to the marina, going shopping or just an evening outside of Zona Romantica. https://discoverpv.com/private-transfers/
