  1. I never know what to think about that stuff about "preferences." When people start citing "preference," it almost always has to do with ethnicity/skin tone. My preferences are pretty diverse and don't categorically exclude any ethnicity/skin tone. I do exclude based on intellect, personality, bodyweight, fitness level and age. And my exclusion criteria are so fluid and full of arbitrary exceptions that I would be hard-pressed to explain them rationally. I think my exclusion criteria could be summed up as "If he's hot, he's hot."
  2. The question seems motivated, at least a little bit, by spite.
  3. Isn't this a rather spiteful question?
  4. Youre in a better position to perceive racisim in action than I am, so I'm not going to disagree.
  5. I think I could make a lot of money managing my own investments if I studied the topic a little bit. I don't feel like doing that so I have a professional managing my investments for me. He does a good job. We definitely will not be eating cat food when I retire. Maybe when I retire, I will take over management of my portfolio. Smartest thing I ever did was going to all cash about two weeks before the market crash in 2008. I had been trading actively earlier in the year and was doing well. As the market became more volatile, it became harder to make any money - the market just moved too fast. I read an article somewhere that said even professional fund managers taking a break because even they couldn't handle that kind of volatility. I asked myself, "if professional fund managers cant handle this market, what am I doing in it?" I sold everything. The market crashed a couple weeks later.
  6. Great guy Gemini Bear - completely forgot about him.
  7. I'm not saying it isn't racism, but it appears that the guy thinks it's OK to waste escorts' time in general. I'm very sympathetic with escorts about time wasters because I encounter them all the time in my profession too.
  8. i don't remember if we received instruction in how to write. We got lots of instruction in legal analysis, and that certainly shaped the way we wrote. In practice, more experienced attorneys always emphasized the importance of clarity - that a piece of writing had to be clearly understandable not only to other lawyers but to a judge and jury as well.
  9. The lightning speed at which some of these words and expressions proliferate shows that, before they became trivialized by the media, they were perfectly serviceable fixtures of the language. They wouldn't have captured the public imagination if they didn't have some initial appeal. If you notice a catchy turn of phrase in a post on your favorite social media site, it is probably only a matter of weeks before it has proliferated like a virus. The one I have come to hate, which I actually liked when I first heard it, is the "current moment" or the "present moment."
  10. I think there are a number of physicians on here. Most of them aren't as visible as Unicorn.
  11. I don't have an air fryer, but I have an adapter that turns an instant pot into an air fryer. Not very impressed. It does a decent job with frozen french fries, but nothing else I have tried has turned out well. I guess if I want the results that everyone raves about, I need to pony up for a real air fryer.
  12. Gordon Grant, Dirk Jager, Caedon Chase, Ashley Rider - all oldies. I don't pay that much attention to porn that much, but I imagine there are some more current stars as worthy as these guys.
  13. It's become a permanent feature of the vernacular - there's no getting rid of it.
  14. My husband's an atheist. He won't compromise - will not go in a church. But he will watch midnight mass at St. Peter's in Rome on TV, with a non-stop commentary on how silly it all is and how beat the Pope looks, etc.
  15. There's a line beyond which a 'roided physique is grotesque, as you say. But until they reach that line . . . oh my. To me, Dino was getting close to the line but hadn't crossed it yet.
  16. I know a guy who coaches retiring executives wanting to become entrepreneurs.
  17. I sat next to her in church on Christmas Eve at St. John's Cathedral in Denver.
  18. Where/when did he impart unsolicited medical advice? He was just referring to various standards/algorithms that healthcare providers use in evaluating health/fitness.
  19. I used to like to chase bi and DL guys. I thought a triad with two of them would be really interesting.
  20. If you are already taking offense at some of the quirks of this business, you might be in for a rough ride.
  21. If the goal is to be buff and muscular you pretty have to go to the gym, or have a good assortment of equipment at home and it takes hard work. If you just want to be HWP, much less effort is required. You still have to increase your activity level, and you still have to reduce your food intake and it still requires commitment. If you hate exercise, it doesn't mean that you're doomed. It just means that, for you, that is an obstacle that has to be negotiated. Others may not be bothered by that obstacle.
  22. I knew it was always a longshot - too many moving parts. I was one of the moving parts, actually. On the one hand it was an attractive proposition, but I didn't think my husband would be on board with me going off every few months to spend a weekend with these guys.
  23. What is this problem that no one seems to understand?
  24. Agreed. I've never understood his appeal.
  25. I find Ryan Gosling and Tom Cruise facially attractive but I'm not wild about their builds. I'm more of a body guy than a face guy so that rules them out for me. I think George Clooney is one of the best-looking men ever. I have a mental list of celebrities I would like to have lunch with and George Clooney is right at the top.
