One of the least homophobic guys I have ever known is straight. Until I learned otherwise for certain, I assumed when we met that he was gay. Nope.

Josh, I don’t know you, but neither do I believe you. And not for any reason other than the impossibility of such perfection. Humility, not grandiosity, is healthy. Ask your therapist, who sounds like s/he helped you a great deal.

The shipping container house in the OP’s story cost nearly $5 million. That could rent about 20,000 escorts. So, no.

No.

I’ve never understood the attraction to frog’s legs. Some regard it as a delicacy, but...

The queer is typically more interesting than the norm. (And the norm — something that is usual, typical, or standard — is not the same as normal, which is conformist. Being queer is neither normal nor abnormal, since it’s about being, not about choosing.)

Do you know this website — Expatistan? It’s pretty useful: https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/index/latin-america

Mexico?

Four down, three to go.

Is it any easier for you in a “he said/he said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said” situation? Also, the “court of law” stuff is a dodge. There will be no trial. Holding that as your standard is just a cowardly way of giving him a pass.

I repeat, your (obnoxious) post was about coercion. This site is not in fact “ALL about” coercing desirable young men.

You neglected to mention their motive.

Ugh. “James Lestock, 67, said on Thursday evening that he stood by his account. “He is lying,” he said of Mr. Levine’s statement in an email. “The examples of instigating sex with a minor, physical abuse using physical pain leading to break down crying, all happened. I will take a lie-detector test. Will he?” Mr. Lestock said that he was a 17-year-old cello student at Meadow Brook when he was abused in Mr. Levine’s dorm room. He described numerous later incidents of abuse; he said that once Mr. Levine had pinched him painfully until he cried, and then continued pinching him, to wound him. And Chris Brown, 66, who played principal bass in the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra for more than three decades, stood by his account that Mr. Levine had abused him the summer before his senior year in high school, when he was 17. “Sexual abuse at any age is inexcusable,” he said. “Further, belittling those of us who were abused as less than fully human is repugnant. I stand by the story.”

I have never approached young men in restrooms or on the Internet. I haven’t approached young men in bars, where they are of legal age, in decades. And your post is about coercion, in which I have never engaged.

I've certainly benefited from the mortgage tax write-off, but it is now an unfair perk for wealthier Americans. At least in cities, which is where most Americans now live, the middle-class can no longer afford to buy a house. So they are cut out of the tax benefit. Only wealthier new-buyers get it. That doesn't mean the benefit should be eradicated, since mortgages last for decades and middle-class buyers in the past are still using it. But, going forward, it needs to be re-thought, given how it underwrites existing wealth. https://www.wired.com/2016/12/year-housing-middle-class-cant-afford-live-cities-anymore/

Happily, and horrifyingly, you are presumably speaking for yourself. Not for “we.”

Believe me, I know. But 32? That’s MD territory.

It's called "Starve the Beast," a Club for Growth [sic] strategy. And, no, Dems will never, ever do the cuts. In fact, Paul "Ayn Rand" Ryan is setting up now to try it. His reelection is not secure, and his dream (and sane people's nightmare) could slip away if he doesn't act now. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/12/paul-ryan-is-trying-to-talk-trump-into-cutting-medicare.html

"For those who are curious, I possess 4 degrees. Two BA's in English Literature and Psychology w/ minor in Family & Human Development, a Master's in Family & Human Development emphasis: Relationships and Human Sexuality. Working towards my PhD in Clinical Psychology after this year's sabbatical." At 32, a professional student.

I think Steve Bannon did the update. “New York values” helps his ‘Bama candidate.

Editors might have put it in.

Then his ultimate reputation would be “a brilliant musician who was also a sexual predator and a fucking moron.” Point taken.

It can take a couple decades for one to acknowledge to oneself what happened, never mind to the larger world. The shame can be intense and debilitating. It’s a very different kind of acute abuse, but look at the president* — he has never come to terms with the abuse suffered as a kid at the hands of his awful parents, and he’s 71.

God forbid those adults should have said “no” to you.
