  1. True - I have booked with travelers who ended up canceling because they didn't book enough business to make the trip worthwhile.
  2. I'm the same, and I'm heavily tattooed myself - no chest, face or neck tattoos.
  3. Agreed - very sexy. It always looks good - it's just pretty cliche. Of course, it became cliche because it does look good.
  4. That's easy KevinEvans - Pornstar Performer, Rentboy, Gay Massage in New York City, NY | RentMen RENTMEN.EU Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in New York City, NY - KevinEvans: A pleasant, engaging experience worth your time.
  5. I used to collect vintage dinnerware - Homer Laughlin's Harlequin pattern. Also McCoy art pottery; and BVM statues.
  6. 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.
  7. If you have all these "A" gays to run with, what is your issue? Just don't worry about the ghetto gays.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Exactly - I'm not really in the market for gay friends. If they happen to be gay, that's great.
  14. They are more common than you would think. They pop up all over the place.
  15. 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.
  16. Lovely story. Thank you.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Its the money, honey. They would have to pay somebody as well-qualified as you a lot more than the new graduate - the "overqualified" trap. And of course, people who are overqualified are usually older than the new graduates.
  20. Docents are almost always volunteers. Years ago, I went to an orientation for the docent training program at the Marine Mammal Center in Marin. I was too busy to do the program at the time. But, now, actually, it looks like a possibility.
  21. Now that I think about it, Ive had more than my share of these. The ones with the good-looking Asian guys are easy to spot - they are always the same. A few months ago, a guy approached me on A4A, just my type - handsome as fuck, black hair, hairy chest. He was supposedly an investor in a high-end restaurant in LA. It began to smell pretty quickly. He asked me if I had any pets and I said "cats." So, suddenly, he's got a cat. But he kept referring to the cat as "it." No pet lover would ever refer to their pet as "It." Then he sent me a photo of him cooking a steak - but the skillet was a cheesy teflon skillet like one you would buy in the grocery store - a guy like he was supposed to be would have the best cookware money could buy. And the cooktop was an electric burner on an old kitchen stove. Somebody like he was supposed to be would be cooking on a Wolff or Thermidor. The final straw was when he started sending me photos of him standing in front of a Ferrari. I have had several of these - they all seem to involve restaurants and devastatingly handsome men.
  22. I was getting a lot of those on A4A. Terrific-looking Asian guys -- but they always ask what you do for a living. It followed such a pattern that I knew it had to be scam. Another one, I almost got sucked into - a very sexy Italian daddy in Socal volunteered to teach me how to trade crypto derivatives. We actually executed a couple small trades and I made $200 or so. Then he wanted me to up the ante to 2000.00 and I said no. He got mad at me, told me I had broken his heart, etc. etc.
  23. My husband and I have just about decided to buy a house in a 55-plus community in the Sacramento Delta. The place is amazing - golf course, tennis, swimming pools, a beautiful clubhouse, fitness center, computer lab, library, etc. They take care of the yard and the landscaping. If you go away, they arrange for a pet sitter, and on and on. The houses themselves are beautiful. I have looked and looked and thought and thought and I can't find much in the way of a down-side.
  24. Medicaid is subsidized health coverage for low-income families and individuals. Most, except for the low-income segment for which it is provided, would not qualify for it.
  25. Your credit will probably be back up to 800+ in a few months, so I wouldn't fret. OTOH, you can dispute the credit report.
