Brokeback Mountain's always held in high esteem, but I found it incredibly boring, and the acting rather strained. From beginning to end I never really gave a damn about either of these characters....(while a better film can bring a tear to my eye when tragedy strikes.)

I noticed that Mr. Philippines doesn’t look Filipino at all.  A quick google search reveals that his father is German and he was born in Germany.  I wouldn’t be surprised if his Filipina mother were tisay (mestiza) because he looks a lot more puti (white) than Filipino.  He’s a handsome guy, which all that matters, but he’s got some stiff competition.
Will the pageant be shown via streaming or YouTube?  In a moment of weakness, I might tune into the swimsuit competition.  

Mister International 2025 has kicked off... am rooting for France, Italy, Lebanon, Philippines, and Spain!

I’m afraid I have not seen any of the remarkable “niceness” that other peeps have remarked on. He’s terribly rude, bossy, terrible attitude. It’s that “straight” self-hating shame that some guys feel for doing this work and it’s just off putting. Btw, I’m a young, hot and pretty nice and welcoming guy. He has zero interest in anything else than getting paid, which fine we all do, but at least pretend to be kind man. And on top of all that, he’s aging very badly. 

I don't watch a lot of porn...but you're right . .when I do find someone who excites me enough to tune-in, its always someone who's also a top. Maybe I am looking for new moves....🤣

Do tops have favorite porn star bottoms, and vice versa?
I'm a top, and a lot of the porn stars I follow are tops. Maybe it's a projection thing? 🤷‍♂️

And are they going to do anything about openly selling drugs on Sniffies and Grindr? 
 
A decade ago, I was amazed that men openly sold one of the date rape drugs.
 
I used to take screenshots for a blog, but it got too tiresome.

According to definition-of.com:
A T-Room, often referred to as a "tea room" in gay slang, is a men's restroom used for anonymous sexual encounters between men. These locations provide a space for casual, unscripted sexual activities, often in public spaces like parks, due to societal stigmas and legal constraints surrounding same-sex relationships. The term is a euphemism, reflecting the discreet nature of these encounters and the historical context in which they emerged. 
As recently as last year, I caught someone in the men's room at a department store trying to engage in gay sex.  He was taking forever in the one and only toilet stall with the door cracked open and sitting there masturbating.  A line was forming to use the toilet.  I really needed to use the toilet, so I just said "Hurry up, stop wacking off, there's guys waiting to shit" and the guy quickly left.

Imagine the horror of going to town and not seeing anyone. Worse, no one seeing you! The indignity!

I met him last week in Denver. It was an afternoon meeting. We communicated the day prior & then met the next day. He was very nice and his body is exactly as his pics. He was a little shy at first but I had a good time. Not sure if / when I will be back in Denver but I’d meet him again if I ever make it back. (He CUMS ALOT! probably more than anyone I’ve been with) 

Why play hide-the-ball on RM?  All bod, none of the goods.  Well, a hole pic.  Strange marketing approach.

While it’s reasonable to consider a provider’s terms when seeking their services, your statement is overly rigid and ignores the mutual nature of professional relationships. Meeting a provider should involve mutual agreement, not unilateral demands. Both parties have needs, clients seek services, but providers benefit from the engagement too. Insisting on only the provider’s terms dismisses the client’s side. A fair arrangement balances both sides, fostering respect and collaboration rather than one party dictating terms.
 

I notice you joined this forum less than a month ago. That’s great that you want to join the discussions here. I don’t know if you were a lurker before joining but in any case we have a long history of the deposit issue. The general consensus is  not to pay a deposit except in certain limited circumstances such as extended multi day engagements.
I have no idea of what market you hire in but being always asked for deposits in the 200 to 500 $ range as you assert is not the norm in any market I am aware of and over the last 30 years or more I have hired throughout North America and many times in Europe. I have rarely if ever been asked to pay a deposit. I only once paid an airfare for someone from San Francisco to meet me in Montreal. And that worked out fine as we were together for 3 days. 
But then I am a premium client on RM and even before then was always seen as a reliable client by the way I presented myself. I always conduct myself in the same way in other commercial transactions. Being trustworthy engenders trust. 

It’s the worst part. But you can learn to spot the signs of a flake. They all have them. Long chats for over an hour on the plans is a definite red flag for flakiness. If the chat goes on for ages about what they want to happen then basically I discount the booking as being unlike happen and I won’t do anything to prepare or commit to it. When the time comes to commit (last minute to douche or travel or whatever) I send a message asking him to confirm and if I get no response then I take it as a cancellation. Nothing lost on my side except the time chatting. 
What happens is like @PhileasFoggsays. They book when horny. When the time comes they’re no longer horny and the prospect of a real situation freaks them out. It’s usually guys on the down low. They watch porn, think it will be fun, build up a fantasy while booking and then come the day it’s all too much so they go quiet and ignore you like you’re just some loser who doesn’t deserve the respect of a message saying ‘sorry I changed my mind’. I keep their number, because sure enough in a years time they’ve forgotten, it all happens again and this time when they message me I can say ‘last time you no showed so I’m not dealing with you, goodbye’. 
 

"Coffee at 10, Elizabeth!"  Or anytime now, I guess.  

I’m a 3.  No surprise 

I fall right in the middle.  

Kinsey used the words rather than the numbers when he interviewed people.  He had a coded worksheet that he used to record answers that wouldn’t mean anything to someone else who read them as part of his way of keeping his volunteer subjects anonymous.  
The Liam Neeson film “Kinsey” is a pretty good film that I enjoyed.  Not great, but worth watching.
Dr. Fritz Klein followed up on Kinsey’s work and came up with a multi-dimensional grid that I think gives a better representation of a person’s real orientation.  It also doesn’t address gender identity along with orientation.
Take the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) here.
The answers aren’t as concise, but they are more descriptive.  My Klein grid scores reflect that I behaved more as a heterosexual when I was a young adult although I was always attracted to the whole gender spectrum and my behavior has come more in line with my attractions as I’ve aged.

Yet again…I come out right in the middle.

Usually DWTS contestants wait a few weeks before taking their shirt off, but world-famous underwear model Robert Irwin flashes the goods in Week 2.  While I’m not crazy about the salsa itself, I give Robert’s body a 10 …
 

A National Treasure 😞

Dame Patricia Routledge, perhaps best known as Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) and as detective Hetty Wainthropp, has died at 96.
Dame Patricia Routledge obituary: The life of TV's magnificently snobby 'Hyacinth Bucket' - BBC News
WWW.BBC.COM A much-loved actress who became famous in the role of Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances.  

Thank you.
Rather sad that this powerful imagery is lost on some people.
The world is dumbing-down at an alarming rate.
