Is your vision more roseate nowadays @purplekow?

It must be almost 15 years ago but I recall an incident in Melbourne where 2 footballers (for St Kilda IIRC) had a few drinks and played together. Someone took a couple of pics that ended up in the media. Both were fit young men. I recall it because about a week before I’d met the more attractive, blond one and received a handjob from him

When I read the response of the AFL club, Glen Waverley (to the sex act committed by their senior players in a public bar on ‘Mad Monday’) - “extremely saddened and disappointed in the behaviour….people who should know better” - I thought it was an expression of disapproval that he didn’t swallow his mate’s load. What else is implied by ‘Sucking one for the team’? I’ve seen the brief, low-quality video. IMO it’s not a sex act; it’s more of a friendly greeting. Anyway, Twitter is reliable here. (I hope I’m not breaking any rules by including the video here)

How wonderful. (But I note @purplekow that you are easily suggestible) Why not? It adds to the gaiety of the nation.

This was always my approach as a client @Idreamofweny Escorts can be great…but they are not telepathic. On a first date, they cannot fathom your innermost desires. Just tell them what you like.

Somehow I doubt it @rvwnsd…tho I personally always prefer to be direct. I suspect that @Axiom2001 was simply thinking with his ‘little head’. He forgot that many young men - however alluring and bulging they may be - are online to get cash. They may well be heterosexual and not want the attentions of older men, however poetic they are.

I see you joined very recently @Gregntn so welcome! I wonder if you have already searched on Google and looked at Yelp. Also this site has a useful Search function. It’s easier for others to help you if you’re more specific. For example: what nights of the week will you be going out? where in the city will you be staying? what sort of guys appeal to you? Here’s a recent listing on Yelp https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=gogo+boys&find_loc=New+York%2C+NY

His body is very attractive. Any idea of whether he has a handsome face?

I consider him attractive @Jim_n_NYC but then I’m always fond of a “college athlete”. I assume you’ve had him unlock his private pics as they show his “face and more”? If the pics reflect his current condition - given the long list of activities he’s into - why not take him for a long test drive?

I know @ncc1701d that you are reliable in your reports. You’ve been on this forum for as long as I have, which is now measured in decades. I’m sorry this spoilt your planned trip. I would have expected such an experienced guy to have offered you a weekend free of charge to make it upto you. As he hasn’t offered, I would now suggest that to him. You have nothing to lose by being direct with him. I hope that he will value you as highly as a client since you have clearly enjoyed his company many times. PS I sent you a DM

Obviously we must respect the decision of the moderators. And I don’t wish to infringe the rules.…Suffice to say that his post alleged that he was scammed. @Rugger416 arranged a date, paid a deposit (IIRC of half the fee) and then was ‘ghosted’ by the man.

Thanks for posting this @Rugger416 You will help others to avoid being ripped off. I hope that the moderators will allow these details to stay on the forum.

I beg to differ @LookingAround I’ve ALWAYS cared about how my young men dress. I like a young man to look very clean and smart. And if a preppy young man devotes himself to pleasing me, I’m happy to take him shopping for clothes - everything from good underwear and swimwear to cashmere blazers and formal wear. I see it as a gift to myself as I can enjoy how he looks when we are out together. Indeed, I get almost as much pleasure from smartly dressing a nice young man as I do from undressing him 😎

No info @MikeBiDude but you have good taste in men. He is very appealing and he looks as if he’d be an admirable bottom. My concern (as you state he’s on OF) would be whether he provides “full service” on a date or has an a la carte menu-approach.

You are correct @KeepItReal: pretentious. If a “young friend” of mine had ‘asked for a gift’, and he was goodlooking with a nice body, I’d buy him some Versace briefs (with the Greek key motif). You’d have a pleasant time shopping for him, and it would be exciting for you when he checked them for size and fit once you were home. My firm advice: always buy briefs that are low-rise and one size smaller than usual.

It’s not clear to me @JayJayStarr whether you’re looking to have dirty sex or a clean home. Or do you hope that a nude cleaner will meet all your needs? 😎

I’d wondered who would be the first to mention Matt Latanzi 😚 He’s 63 now…but when he was young, OMG he was goodlooking. I always remember a scene he did (with Jacqueline Bisset) where he’s standing while she sits on the edge of a bed to unzip his jeans…

When I was on Seeking (years ago), I had a standard ‘Thanks for your interest but No, thanks’ response for such guys. Some were just exploring but if they were goodlooking, I added that I was fit and in good shape and had a healthy appetite for a full physical relationship. That was my experience too @Skip. I’m always attracted by intelligence and I found that intelligent young men understood readily. Nonetheless I always spelt out what I was offering and what I sought in return. I never left anything “unspoken”. as I was keen to avoid confusion and disappointment. I had quite a few dates with young men. Inevitably some were guys that just wanted a good time (dinner or theatre&dinner) but didn’t want to get into bed. They were easy to cut off. And I did find several handsome young men who were eager to please, and I had a lot of fun with them on a regular basis, including trips and vacations.

He’s definitely done porn with other men, @Doe Be Doe At one time, he worked for BelAmi PS if you want to translate your academic interest into something more physical, he’s quite active on IG so you could DM him there.

I feel it’s a shame that most of the obituaries of her don’t mention her charitable efforts for cancer research. She was a tireless fundraiser for years and she attracted millions of dollars for cancer research. I hope the cancer research centre that bears her name in Melbourne, Australia will continue to honour her.

And no mention of his personality nor his cultural pursuits? In a forum where gay men discuss potential companions? I’m shocked @BeefyDude, truly shocked…

That resonates with me. I always did my own research into stocks, and I was a client of a smart stockbroker in NYC. At that time, I had some spare cash (IIRC it was 1983/84). I called my broker to discuss buying a sound longterm investment (there were listed funds that sold at a discount to net asset value then). I specified I wanted diversified assets and to hold the investment for years. Our discussion turned to insurance companies and Berkshire Hathaway. I asked why Wall Street never recommended the shares. He explained the shares traded infrequently, and the price never traded with the market but tended to move up like a staircase. To make it easier for me, he charged me a reduced commission so my initial holding was at exactly $1000. He told me the next day that he was so impressed by my decision-making that he invested the same amount of money himself. As luck would have it, a few months later I was invited to a business lunch which included Mr Buffet. (Malcolm Forbes was also a guest and I think the host invited me - I was openly gay - as Forbes’s nightly excursions were becoming known). I had a long talk with Mr Buffet about investing which I found very encouraging.

You didn’t say when you hoped to do this @BtmBearDad. I guess you’re not planning to go this month, which is ‘prime time’ for Catalan family vacations and for families sailing around the Greek islands. For me, it’s a villa by the beach every time. We have taken vacations along the coast, north of Girona, several times. It’s the Costa Brava and it’s considered quite a posh area. The Catalan haute-bourgeoisie vacation there. It’s not ‘blingy’ and there are several beautiful villages inland. There are some surprisingly good restaurants in the area too. And of course, there is Sitges to the south of the airport and Barcelona. It’s an area of more international tourism (and Catalans consider it not as good as the Costa Brava) but very popular. There are many restaurants etc and it’s easy to reach the city if you wish. Also we have done 3 yachting holidays around the Greek islands. My partner’s family are keen sailors (we charter a boat with a professional skipper and a good cook) but I’m not so enthusiastic. To my mind, your group is a lot of people on a boat. Have you looked seriously into what private space there will be, how cabin sizes vary etc? And who will do the accounting to split all the many costs?

I watched it all in the forlorn hope that the storyline would improve. I found most of the characters catty and camp. Perhaps that’s why I liked the character of the 3rd grade teacher so much. And alas it just wasn’t that funny. The only unpredictable scene was when Michael and the Italian “bibusinessman” were texting each other while, between them, the oblivious female realtor chattered on.

I sympathize with your plight @gallahadesquire. This is exactly why, whenever friends ask me for investment advice, I always recommend that they first make use of every tax-advantaged investment available to them. Secondly I recommend high-quality equities that you can hold over time, even decades. The ability to compound growth free of tax is often undervalued. And when you are in retirement, it’s not really a problem to have to pay taxes on a large income.
