  1. I was at Johnson’s this past week. Hadn’t been in about 6 months. I noticed that 4 of the 5 curtained off VIP “rooms” had to have the curtains open (about a one foot opening shy of being closed).

     

    There was one Champagne Room where curtains could be completely closed. But the base price of that room was $140 for 15 minutes (not counting extra dancer tips).

     

    General business seemed great but it definitely put a bit of a damper on my visit. I like VIP rooms I guess. LOL ;).

     

    Does anyone know what prompted this change? I hope it’s not a permanent thing.

  2. I'm going to cautiously enter this thread because I've been race-hated on this board.

     

    Racism is undoubtedly present in the gay community. From the blatant "no Asians" to bars or spas clearing out when I enter, I've experienced it my entire adult life. Attraction may by governed physiologically (just how gay men aren't sexually attracted to women) or influenced by society and media (Asian men are regularly emasculated on screen). It may be a bit of both. But from my experience, Asians are treated worse in the gay community than any other race (except perhaps South Asians).

     

    The issue comes with how guys express their attraction (or lack of). I'm not sexually attracted to older men, but frequently get attention from them (another topic for another day). If they reach out to me, I reply, "thank you, but it's not a 100% match. Good luck." I don't say "you're too old." I don't block them. Some guys get hostile but most of the time they say "thanks" or "no problem." Respect earns respect.

     

    The problem is many white guys (who are considered by most as the most desirable) lack that respect. I stopped complimenting white guys on Grindr because I'd get auto blocked. For saying things like "you have a great smile." Yes, I know there are my Asian brothers that shamelessly hurl themselves at any white guy, but when the level of lack of respect for another race results in an automatic block or a hand to the face (yes, one guy once put his hand in my face after I said he was good-looking), that comes from thinking you're better than they are. And that is definitely racism.

     

    The saddest part is so many Asians have internalized it. I'm in SF for the month and can't tell you how many Asian guys exclude their race from their profiles. Why? Because they know a lot of guys check the boxes for other races than Asian. They want to be the exception. Sometimes they are (the tall, muscular Asians with square jaws -- ironically, the desirable Asians look more "white"). Sometimes they're not. This is true of Asian guys with ripped bodies and use shirtless pics. A white guy will find the body hot but when they learn it belongs to an Asian they change their minds. What changed? Maybe the face. Or maybe the race.

     

    This recent video puts it best. An asian model (who is straight, but it affects all Asians) says, "I didn't want to be white. I just want to be treated like I was white." What he's really saying is that he wants to be treated with respect.

     

     

    So whether it's "preference" or you're racist (because let's face it, some of you are), try treating everyone with respect. Because we're all part of the human race.

     

    Beautiful post, @Drained Empty. Thank you.

  3. Spent the last weekend at Johnsons. Best time I've had in a strip club since my first trip to Montreal many years ago. Great bar, friendly staff, cheap drinks, and a variety of very attractive dancers. My favorite was Federico, a very handsome muscular Argentinian, but there is surely someone for everyone there.

     

    YES for Federico!! Love him :)

  4. Getting back to the thread topic of meeting Fitness and Physique models, any other venues or forums that haven’t already been listed to reach out/facilitate meet ups?

     

    It seems that Instagram is the most common, then sites like Seeking Arrangements or bestflex. Any other ideas or tips? :)

  5. This cracks me up so hard every time I see it, you have no idea. It brings me such joy, especially in the context of a thread such as this. Thank you for this.:D

     

    You’re very welcome, [uSER=12309]@TheOtherGuy[/uSER]!! :)
