Lucky

I still vividly remember my first visit there. I was in shock at all of the activity.

That's a big if. Given the vaccination rate there and considering that I am now triple vaccinated, I might give it a shot. The private hospitals are better than the public ones, but if I am not protected with three vaccines, then there is no hope. I just don't want to go when it is hot or rainy.

I feel a song coming on!

Man's Country has closed? But I have a lifetime membership!

Why not take him at his word?

Then why enact a new rule? There is no problem to fix.

I resurrected this old post because it was appropriate to my own new post. I thought that was what we were supposed to do-search for similar topics before starting a new one. Sorry if I was wrong!

If you are talking about limiting threads about providers to 2 years, fine. But otherwise, there is a lot of history in our older threads and they should be fair game for discussion. Anything else is an attempt to bury the past, as well as the contributions of long time members. I would rather have it looked at on a case by case activity.

13 happy birthdays today. 10 of the 13 never posted once, except for one guy who did post once. Almost all of them never returned to the site after that sign-in day. These are not real members, but I wish them all a happy birthday. It's just that they will never see my wishes!

My curiosity is that with so many here into Asian guys, why do they treat them as an other? For one, the guy is always referred to as Asian, even though he might be Asian-American and never stepped foot into Asia. We don't refer to white escorts as "white escorts" so why refer to Asians as "Asian escorts?" Sure, it is okay to mention in the original thread that you have hired someone at an Asian spa, or even a provider who happens to be Asian. But why, forever after, is the guy referred to as Asian? Why not just use his name? Hopefully he is a lot more than just Asian.

Today is again October 11th, National Coming Out Day. A surprise is that Superman's son, Jonathan Kent, has come out of the closet and will be an openly gay superhero! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/11/arts/superman-comes-out.html From the Times article... "The coming out of Superman, perhaps the most archetypal American superhero, is a notable moment even in an age when many comics have embraced diversity and are exploring pressing social issues. Batman’s sidekick, Robin, recently acknowledged romantic feelings for a male friend (not Dick Grayson — who was Batman’s partner for over four decades — but Tim Drake, a later replacement; there are multiple Robins just as there are multiple Supermen). And a new Aquaman comic stars a gay Black man who is positioned to become the title hero. It has been a steady evolution for an industry that had moved to censor itself in a number of ways after “Seduction of the Innocent,” a 1954 book by the psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, raised concerns about sex, gore and violence and suggested a link between reading comics and juvenile delinquency. In one section, Wertham described Batman and Robin as “a wish dream of two homosexuals living together.”

The NY Times today carries the obituary for Budge Patty, a 1950's tennis champion, who has died at the age of 97. "Known for his style as much as his forehand volley, he was one of only three Americans to win the French and Wimbledon men’s singles in the same year....Patty was almost invariably described as handsome, elegant and a fashionable dresser. " I will admit that I was drawn to the article because of his early pictures: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/sports/tennis/budge-patty-dead.html

@glutesAnd you did nothing to cause the ghosting?

I hope that you hear from him! I wonder if he knows about the kerfluffle here.

That's weird. I put a link to it but it has disappeared! It's in The Sports Forum.

His measuring skills seem quite good!

I posted this a couple of days ago!

His Instagram page has LOTS of hot photos! If he is "Ken" then run, don't walk! Imma hankering for him! https://www.instagram.com/hank_only/

If that's a recent picture @marylander1940I would say he is aging quite well.

And I actually met him, with a faithful friend, who took a picture of me with my arm around Lukas. (I also flew cross-country on a red-eye with Lukas and Johann Paulik. Boy, those were the days, sleeping with them... even if we were in different rows!)

I agree that Closer was brilliant, @MikeThomas. Dave Chappelle is not homophobic or transphobic. He may have questions about things he doesn't understand, but I don't think he is a mean person. At the end of the show he told a long story about a trans woman who opened his act in San Francisco. It was very touching. Chappelle says that empathy is bisexual in that it has to go both ways. And he makes a great point about the gay community's treatment of black people. We have nothing to brag about on gay black rights and representation in our own community. Thanks, Dave, for the laughs and the tears. Closer, on Netflix now.

I wasn't at that performance, but I have been at shows where she sang. She sings beautifully.

Once again I have enjoyed the forums this morning. I hope I don't post too much. I know I am opinionated, but that's part of the fun, getting reactions and all.
