Everyone likes different things. I wouldn't fuck either of those two. To say someone "could do better" assumes your tastes are the same as their tastes. I'm sure there are some beefy muscle guys who like to fuck a twink or two.

Do obese clients hire obese providers ? There seems to be a lot of commentary about how attractive overweight men can be...so I am genuinely curious how many of these men seek out the "beauty" of the bulge when hiring.

I use Lyft at JFK all the time. There are specific pick up sites designed for Lyft (or Uber) at each terminal. I would suggest checking the NY Port Authority website to find where you can be picked up at your terminal. Some of them have been moved into parking garages now because the porte cocheres cannot handle the volume.

Considering the amount of time and money white people spend on tanning you'd think being born with dark skin would be considered more of a blessing.

I've been to this site. Definitely worth a visit when touring Turkey. You can also stay in a "cave hotel" which are popular in Cappadocia. People often don't realize the importance of the region in the early years of Christian philosphy amongst the Greeks . Some incredible and important history there.

Definitely do-able. ( both of them )

Yup. I "got" that. But then you paralleled with the character of a sweet Austrian girl not mattering about race, so it seems to run a double standard. To me, and that's just MY viewpoint. ( I'm not saying I am universally "RIGHT" ) If you're going to be color blind, then it works both ways. Personally, I feel that if you can nail a part then the actors ethnicity (and sexuality or gender) shouldn't matter. But I do understand your point about MalcomX being so tied to race that it would seem jarring. Quentin Crisp as Queen Elizabeth was a magnificent casting.

Because you applied this logic to your statement that it's ok for p.o.c. to play white but not white to play p.o.c. Maybe I misunderstood the intention of your comment.. but that's how it reads.

Don't you just hate that feeling of being late to the party ?

Although I don't disagree with the individual examples you made. I am curious to know if you are aware of the hypocrisy in your overall philosophy? Which is: ok for people of color to play white but not ok for white people to play people of color. Pick a side. Either color matters or it doesn't.

I think it's certainly different but nobody's opinion is "irrelevant". You don't need to BE somebody to empathize with their feelings.

Typical South America. You PAY to have the body embalmed and of course they just shoved your loved one in a crate and called it a day. Well I guess this one was lucky since the coroner also didn't check to see if he was actually dead.

Is it "obvious" ? Or have we simply been conditioned to find it offensive ? Historically the Vaudeville "Coon shows" were offensive because they were ridiculing black people. So, yes. THAT was offensive. The rest....is just theatrics. Blacks must play black ( even if the actor isn't 100% "black" ) and gays must play gays. What's next ? Women must play women ? Oh wait ! 🤔 We are supposed to celebrate men pretending to be women but we can't celebrate whites being black but fabulous to be a black playing white or a gay playing straight but not a straight playing gay.......OMG it's all so confusing ( and hypocritical ). How about we just accept that theatre is all illusion and drop the woke attitude.

Oh no. That's sad. I was supposed to be meeting him this week ( tentatively ). I hope everything is ok with him. Speaking to him briefly seemed like a very nice young man.

Thank you @RadioRobfor keeping watch. I'm sure this is all very time consuming. Much appreciated.

I don't think casting an actor from a different cultural/ethnic background than the person they are portraying is at all "woke". As long as they can handle the role, they ARE acting after all. Gender roles and racial roles have been swapped for centuries. I am myself guilty of rolling my eyes at the first episode of "Bridgerton" expecting a woke version of Regency England. But I was pleasantly surprised. The actors are all quite accomplished and the directors didn't try to update the scripts, or style of language to make it funky/modern like "Hamilton" on Broadway. It merely elaborates on the North African ancestry of Queen Charolette but adds more dark skinned characters to the cast than were likely to have been running around early 19th Century London . You might say...that the subtle subtext of mixing of races is "woke" , and that may be slightly true, but it's so well done that it doesn't have the finger wagging correctness that puts off some people. SO I think in the end, Progressive cultural productions need to find a balance where you are left to think without feeling you are being preached to. Extreme woke-ism shoved down MY throat does make me gag. I'm sure, I'm not alone in feeling that I don't mind being left to think, about a production, but prefer to not be told WHAT to think.

I don't think anyone feels you shouldnt provide sexual health information to teenagers. The controversy is about elementary school children being exposed to more than most parents feel appropriate. I tend to agree. Its MY decision as a parent to delve into explaining the fringes of society with my kids and it's my decision how I teach them about things that run counter to mainstream ideology. And I'm not even saying I'm isolating my kids. My kids are New Yorkers and see pretty much everything. I am saying the how and when is a parents choice. Although I don't think you SHOULD be a bigot. I do agree that people have a right to the religious beliefs as much as I may disagree with them. It's none of my business.

"Undetectable" is a temporary status. That can vary from week to week. "Poz / undetectable as of my last checkup" would be a more honest status.

Clearly if anyone is HIV negative they would indicate HIV negative. So I am confident for anyone leaving that blank, it means *I'm HIV positive and I don't wish to discuss it.* There's always an exception to every rule but I would advise to err on the side of caution no matter WHAT HIV status a stranger tells you. You're paying Your choice. . Condoms may not be fashionable anymore with the younger kids but they are still practical for gentlemen who are getting older and don't necessarily recover quickly from STIs anymore. Use your head to think.

I have trouble with the way current activism is buried in a sea of protesting. Larry Kramer.was effective with ACT UP. Stonewall was an historic movement But the 70s and 80s are over and y'all are competing with 50 other special interest groups for attention now.

I didn't say you should not have HAD them. I am saying going forward it's falling on deaf ears. The continuous pot-banging from EVERY group these days is tiresome and therefore losing its ability to get attention. Everyone is bored with the same old protest marches. Times for new and better strategies.

Ugh. I'm so tired of every disenfranchised group calling for "civil disobedience". At this point, everyone has grown deaf to this sort of protesting. Who DOESN'T protest today ? The Chinese are out protesting, the Muslims are out protesting. You have women's rights / gay rights / trans rights / labor rights / immigrant rights / abortion rights ...all groups using the same tired strategy. You want influence - run for office instead of holding signs and yelling slogans.

Turkey and Morocco turn a blind eye to tourists. Certain Arab Peninsula Nations do the same. But always with Muslims it's best to be very discreet. Even as a tourist. I would opt for the less luxurious hotel with two beds.

Well of the people who were clearly ( and some admittedly ) Aspergers....I have to say none of them were good at sports. True. I can think of one who was definitely rather clumsy. I never associated the two. Interesting fact. Thanks for sharing.
