I immediately returned his call via *69, so the timing of our hookup was still basically at his whim. If I hadn't walked into my apartment while the phone was ringing I would not even have known that someone had just tried to call me, and without the *69 feature I would never have been able to identify who had just called. I think it really was his identity being exposed that caused him to cut off ties, particularly because when I returned the call it was initially answered by a receptionist saying his name and the type of business. I asked for him, said I was "a friend," and she transferred the call to him. Nothing scandalous, but for someone who is hiding I can see how it might create an uncomfortable reality and raise questions. It really is too bad that he couldn't have talked with me about his concerns because maybe I could have assuaged his anxiety and he could have continued his assault on my hole (sorry, couldn't resist the silliness after using the word ASSuaged). I really don't think his behavior was a sign of disrespect. We weren't dating, we were just fucking. If I was dating someone, that would be a different story. Would I have preferred to have his phone and be able to call him sometimes to see if he wanted to come over? Sure. But I didn't interpret his hiding his name or phone number as having anything to do with me personally.

I can speak from an experience with a "fuck buddy" I had a couple of decades ago, one of the hottest men I've ever had sex with. I'm pretty sure he was married to a woman and closeted because he disclosed very little personal information to me but I did pick up some clues here and there. This was pre-cell phone days. At any rate, if I happened to be home when he called and he asked to come over within the half hour, my answer was never no. Why would it be when he was so damned hot? I would do a quick prep and shower if I wasn't ready, and then he'd arrive. I know he called sometimes when I wasn't home to answer the phone because the very last time we met I returned his call via *69. He answered but seemed angry that I had found out where he worked by returning his call, and even though he came over that afternoon and we had fun I never saw him again. I think it freaked him out that I now knew his full name and where he worked (it was a small firm with his name in the title). So, yes, sometimes people can be available at a moment's notice. Note that I'm not saying you should run your business this way. You do what works for you. But it is true that sex hook ups happen without planning, and unless one is a bottom and needs time to prep then I'd say that if an escort doesn't have other plans then I don't see the reason to get upset that someone wants something near term. Just satisfy the demand and give up the notion that people "should" behave in a certain way.

At the same time that there is a more evident "gym culture" there is also a far greater percentage of obese people.

I doubt men are objectively getting better looking, but your reaction is changing. Watch an old TV show or movie and notice how men you didn't find particularly attractive when you were younger look quite handsome to your older mind.

Thanks for your common sense reply. If someone is too self-centered or stupid to understand that other people might need to work in with them in a public gym, then the appropriate response is simply to move their stuff out of the way so you can use the machine you want. In all honesty, however, I don't think most guys are big enough jerks to deny a reasonable request to work in; they just are hoping that no one will call them out on their narcissistic behavior so the machines they want to use are available at the precise moment they want to use them.

How has this cutie escaped my detection until now? I noticed him last night on a silly sci-fi movie being shown on the Svengoolie show and, despite some other handsome men also being in the cast, William Reynolds definitely caught my eye. Reading up on his career, it seems like he worked a fair amount for a couple of decades but he never really became a big star. He certainly had the looks for it, so I guess he either just didn't get the right roles or maybe his acting chops weren't that great.

Looks like fun and similar to my favorite coaster at Paramount's Great America in Santa Clara, CA, the Goldstriker, though the videos of these rides don't really convey how fun they are. The one at Six Flags does seem like it loses momentum a few times. I can tell you from experience that Goldstriker just keeps going fast until the brakes are applied at the end of the ride.

I really enjoy roller coasters. It's funny -- in my early 40s, I assumed I had gotten "too old" for roller coasters because I had a sore neck after riding one. Fast forward a decade or so and I rode a different coaster and enjoyed it tremendously -- so much so that I rode that coaster probably a dozen times one summer (I bought a season pass to the park). I eventually returned to the coaster that had previously made me think I was too old to enjoy them and found out it was just that coaster that I didn't like; it made my neck sore again due to its poor design. My favorite coasters are wooden ones which cause a lot of lift out of the seat. I'm not so thrilled by metal ones that simply go fast and turn me upside down a few times, though some of those can be fun as well.

That's what I do. I generally don't even look at the Politics forum. I know some people enjoy arguing even when it's obvious that no one is actually listening to views that don't 100% align with what they already think, but I have very little patience for that. That being said, I don't mind not reading most of what gets posted here since it's similar to another forum I regularly visit that's devoted to a different subject). I'm used to just scrolling through the subjects to see what's new and then only opening a tiny percentage of them to actually read them, viewing the rest as background noise. I realize that just because it's noise to me doesn't mean everyone else isn't interested.

Nowhere did I suggest indulging in a "Pretty Woman" fantasy. I wrote about developing a friendship, not a romantic relationship.

I'm glad you posted this and you said what I wanted to say as I began reading this thread in a clearer way than I probably would have. I'm only chiming in to add that I developed a friendship with someone I hired. When we hung out in the context of a longer session, I did pay for dinner or movie tickets or whatever. But when we just hung out "off the clock," it was just that. Sometimes I paid, sometimes he paid. It worked the way it would with any other friend. What the OP's situation will turn out to be cannot be known until he experiences it.

Sadly this isn't true. Do you remember the case of Jahi McMath? She was declared brain dead at Children's Hospital in Oakland, California in late 2013 but her family sued to keep her on life support, and eventually won a court ruling to have her propped-up corpse transferred to another facility in another state. The family propped her up her corpse on "life support" for over four years, eventually having to acknowledge that she was dead when other organs began to fail. It was never clear to me whether this was just a family who couldn't accept the death or if they were attempting to get a monetary reward because the young teen was worth more in damages if she was still considered alive versus dead.

I'm not sure why people want to pay good money just to advertise someone's brand -- well, I actually do know why: It's to let everyone know that they (allegedly) have enough money that they can afford brand X. If that's what you mean by pretentious, then that's my vote.

Or to ask about specific escorts in Las Vegas that caught his eye instead of linking to 9 pages of escort ads.

Yes, she (as well as everyone else) was great in Sordid Lives. What a funny script and a funny cast.

There were music videos long before Physical. What an odd claim to make, unless they mean that it was the first video album (and I'm not even sure whether that's true). Olivia was a special talent. I still own most of her albums.

I didn't get a warning when entering the website, but I got bored about 10 sets of eyes into the test so I didn't complete it.

I echo the comments. In fact, he was one of my most disappointing hires ever.

Define "bounce." Here's a video of Tim Tebow running shirtless, slowed down. I call this bouncing, but not the same as a woman's breasts would bounce when running.

You flat out said he didn't need to be assessed by a crisis team. That's the part I was responding to.

Are you a trained mental health professional? If so, I find it odd that you would argue that it's more appropriate for a layperson to try to counsel someone who is expressing suicidal ideation (and maybe even a plan) versus that person, with empathy, advising the struggling person that it's clear they need help from someone more equipped to actually help them. I don't think anyone is suggesting that an appropriate response is to just walk away without expressing any concern or suggesting a better course of action for that person to seek help, but I think it's potentially dangerous for someone who doesn't have training in assessing someone's suicide risk to wade into those waters.

True stories: My first viewing of a porn movie was a straight film at a drive-in theater. My friends thought it would be a nice "going away to college" gift for me, even though they knew I was gay. As we turned the corner into the parking lot so the screen was visible, the first image I saw was a woman with her legs spread wide and an man eating her out. As a Kinsey 6 this didn't excite me. In fact, this was back in the day when most men in straight porn were not very attractive so the whole evening was pretty much a disappointment for me. My second viewing of a porn movie was a gay film at a porn theater in Detroit. My friend and I walked in just as someone was taking a fist (and arm) in his ass. Both men had the stereotypical (for the time) "Castro clone" look. Neither of us was into that look and both of us were pretty much horrified by the prospect of fisting (we were very naive 18 year olds), so it was quite an off-putting introduction to hard core pornography. We were also both quite skittish about interacting with any of the other patrons even though there was a lot of play going on, but from memory I don't think either of us found anyone there attractive anyway. I was very happy when porn on VHS came along. I could have more control over what I watched and, of course, viewing porn no longer required going to a theater.

Well, that's the way I've been using Google Images for a long time. I will say that I find Google Image search less helpful than it was several years ago. Most of the time I don't find a match, even the site I originally found the image on.

Maybe I was lucky in that I think I hired him not long after he started doing massage, but I found him to be a pleasant person. I'm curious as to the "lecture" after the orgasm. I assume that his intent was to convey information he thought could benefit the client, like a change in diet or something might enhance someone's pleasure? Was it the actual information he provided that felt insulting, or the way that information was delivered, or what?

Have you tried simply opening a new tab, entering "images/google.com" and then dragging the photo in question to the search box on that tab?
