My next question is what kind of sauce were you planning on putting over said rigatoni? If store bought, I hope it was Raos.

Dynamic pricing is possible, if you have the demand and/or are in the right location. Looking at an escort as you'd look at a hotel/motel experience is actually pretty insightful. We all serve different purposes and have unique skill sets that make us 'right' for one situation/person, but not for another. There are times when you want to stay at a Four Seasons (and are willing to pay for it), but other times you don't mind a simple, clean and economical Roadway Inn.

I just want to know, what variant of pasta broke your fall? I'd guess it was a robust rigatoni. Seriously though, sorry for your tumble and here's to a speedy recovery 👍

London is ramping up to have their coldest winter season in a long while. And just in time... I'll be getting there xmas week. Boo. That said, I'll take full-on snow over freezing rain (if Mother Nature is a member here and taking suggestions).

I for one miss his banter. He was a good personality to have around here.

100% agree. While Qatar is interesting in many ways, nightlife and overall tourism is not yet their strong suit. It's like comparing Reno to Vegas. Sure, it gets the job done, but with multiple caveats.

It ain't quite Moose Murders, but it was a terrible show. This isn't shocking. Saw it a few weeks ago and aside from the final number, the whole thing was a mess. KPOP was form over function.

Unless you have access to a nice private home, well outside of San Jose (Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Tortuguero, Corcovado, Monteverde), go with PV. Better the devil you know. PV is LGBT-friendly and there's always something to do.

This thread is enlightening as to some of the personalities here. I wonder if some of you had to attach personally identifying info, whether you'd be so brazen with your talk of what someone should charge for their services. Always remember: Escorts are human beings who have financial obligations just like you. You don't get to set someone's rate or tell him why he should charge less, but you do have the choice of being a decent person and respectfully declining. Don't be a prick. It's not all that difficult.

Apples to oranges discussion. Brazil is not a first-world country. What most here are talking about are rates in US, as well as major European and Asian cities. Yeah, guys still go to the ends of the earth for cheap sexual tourism, but even the reliable standbys are no longer what they used to be. Bottom line, you're talking about a whole different system (saunas) and, frankly, a whole other nation. Added, this continues to be the world's oldest profession. It's not going anywhere anytime soon, well-respected economists be damned. They say this every 12-15 years and have for decades.

I can handle unlikable characters when the script is good. That, to me, is why I love Succession.

I said healthy, not wealthy. Big difference and classic hubris usually tends to get in the way of not confusing the two.

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.

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.

Yeah, that sounds healthy and normal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. Several times.

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.

Love this scent. My dad and grandfather used to wear it. I keep a small bottle of it in the back of my collection.
