He and I have spent quite a bit of time together - I always enjoyed seeing him. The last time I saw him was December of 2019, just before the pandemic struck.

Santa Cruz never disappoints. My husband and I were there this week.

He used to post here right? Real sexy but very prickly personality?

I understood why he had to back out - It was the kind of scene you have complained about from time to time - he thought he had booked enough business to make the trip worthwhile, most of them cancelled, so he had to cancel the trip if he didn't want to lose his ass. What I should have done was pay his expenses. I have never seem myself as doing that, but it seems to be the only sure way to get who you want, where and when you want them.

There are so many scammers on hookup sites that trying to meet somebody is almost pointless.

Cards that don't allow transactions outside the US are more and more common. I have one card, a VISA gold card from a credit union that is nearly useless because the card issuer declines so many transactions - almost any online transaction is sure to be declined.

Wow!! You could teach this model at a business school.

True - I have booked with travelers who ended up canceling because they didn't book enough business to make the trip worthwhile.

I'm the same, and I'm heavily tattooed myself - no chest, face or neck tattoos.

Agreed - very sexy. It always looks good - it's just pretty cliche. Of course, it became cliche because it does look good.

I used to collect vintage dinnerware - Homer Laughlin's Harlequin pattern. Also McCoy art pottery; and BVM statues.

It helps to know where you fit. My husband had a client who he had a very friendly relationship with. The client was getting married to a woman whose family name is a household word. Before he got married, my husband wanted to have the couple over for dinner. He kept issuing invitations and they kept finding excuses to decline and he couldn't understand why. I said, "I'm sorry, but they are telling you that they don't want to come." He was dumb-founded, but he realized I was right and he realized that the client didn't see the relationship as a friendship but a friendly business relationship.

If you have all these "A" gays to run with, what is your issue? Just don't worry about the ghetto gays.

Sure, there are gay bars, sex clubs, gay restaurants, gay churches, gay AA groups, gaybourhoods, etc. You would never have to set foot outside of the Castro if you didn't want to, but not too many people elect to live that way. New Year's Eve, there is a Black and White Ball that raises funds for the symphony. It is a VERY toney event - in addition to the bluebloods and old money, it is always full of same-sex couples in black-tie. Everybody shares the dance floor without giving it a thought.

Sure people can do that here in SF as well, but more and more, gay people aren't that interested in all gay all the time.

I don't know - maybe things are different in NYC. Here gays have assimilated more or less. Even before that, I moved relatively freely between the straight world and the gay world. Straight guys used to tell me I was a different kind of gay.

Young children can be scary when you're not around them much. I hadn't been around young children in a long time. Then, my husband's niece had a child - a beautiful little girl. I was uncomfortable around her until her second birthday party - she wanted me to help her open her presents. Somebody would hand her a present and she brought it over to me and we unwrapped it together. Then we would go through the same thing with the next present. The last time we got together for dinner, she insisted on sitting next to me and we chatted all the way through dinner.

Do you try to look them up? They may have felt abandoned when you left the life and became too busy for them with wife and family. I remember many years ago, I was friends with a straight guy that I had been in the military with - he and his wife just sort of turned up in the city where I was living because he was going to go to graduate school there. We got together regularly to get high and party, like the old days, but his wife wasn't comfortable with it. He finished graduate school, got a great job, they bought a house in a cushy suburb and started pumping out kids and we saw a lot less of each other. Occasionally we would run into each other and I got the feeling that he and his wife just really wanted to move on and we never saw each other anymore. I saw a notice in the paper a few years ago that he had retired and he was unrecognizable in his photo - an anonymous old guy with white hair.

Exactly - I'm not really in the market for gay friends. If they happen to be gay, that's great.

They are more common than you would think. They pop up all over the place.

You're right - I've been profiled. I had never thought about it. Another one was a guy from New York 6'4" handsome as fuck, Irish, lived in Manhattan, was just getting a restaurant off the ground on Long Island. Another one was from Eastern Europe, from Florida, great body, hairy chest, dark complexion; and he belonged to a consortium that invested in chain restaurants. He was easy to spot because his dialog sounded like he had been reading too many self-help books.

Lovely story. Thank you.

Im an IP attorney. During the financial crisis, my business pretty much dried up. I took a course in tax preparation and was going to get the enrolled agent certification to represent people in tax court, but then I started making money in IP again.

Most of my career has been in biotech and medical devices. I always thought product managers had one of the best jobs in the company - its a key position, they're involved in everything, their opinion really matters in the their area, they travel a lot, stay in cushy hotels, go to all the important industry events, work closely with the IP attorneys.
