Sure, this guy is Spanish. Years ago I had a boyfriend, born, raised in an upper-middle class family, and educated in a Central American country, who had immigrated to the US. Despite his physically looking Central American, my BF told everyone he was Spanish or, more precisely, Catalonian, because he could trace his ancestry back to there. Like I can claim to be French because I supposedly have an ancestor that was an invader in the Norman Conquest.

I met with him today. The guy in the pics could be him, but he would've been a lot younger. The guy in the pics looks like he's 20 with a baby face; and the guy I met must have been in his late 20's, beefed up and more muscular, with facial hair. So it was hard to tell, really. The eyes were similar. He was still good-looking and seemed nice. I went along with it, and still had a good time. It wasn't stellar, but I still had fun. It somehow felt rushed though.. Would I repeat? Not really.

I wish I was that 'fat'.

Well....Brazilian muscle gays have always been hustlers. That's nothing new. Either that or the extra hot ones get their needs met by being sugar babies to wealthy NY businessmen.

You're right about that.  I taught skiing in Europe, and they paid us shit, and nobody tipped.

The days of great snow in December ended 15 years ago.  Go in January or February.
Gay ski week in Aspen is fantastic, I've been many times.  And I'm not someone one who enjoys gay events generally.
You need to think long and hard before going to Breckenridge.  All mountains are high, of course, that's what makes them mountains.
But Breck is at that point where almost anyone visiting will struggle against the altitude.  
I've been to Breck 20 times.  I always suffered altitude sickness to some degree.  One year it was so bad I drove to Denver and flew back to LA several days early.   
Then I discovered Diamox, which I think I've written about here.  The skiing at Breck is fantastic.
Anyway, Telluride is also very high, but it is so very very beautiful (again, Diamox.)
Vail is wonderful.  I spent many fun filled days there in the late 70s and early 80s.
One of the first things you mentioned was the Koosh stuff, which is fine.  If that's what you are looking for, hit Vail or Aspen or Telluride.
If you want kick ass skiing, hit the Summit (Breck and A-Basin) or Purgatory or Crested Butte (crusty butt).  Have fun!
 

In my 30s I was out and about. Pride, Folsom Street, WeHo, the Boom in Laguna after a day at West St Beach. I haven’t been to a gay bar, except for the occasional strip club, in 20 years and never to a bath house. Even though I’m told I look good “for my age” the reality is that I’m too old for the party scene. The hobby is my outlet. Otherwise, my close friends and immediate family are the things that matter now.

I'd love to score a touchdown with that tight end... oh yes. lol

Woof, thanks!  I'd Roll that Tide...

One thing you should keep in mind. Skiing can be a dangerous sport. Illuminaries such as Sonny Bono and one of the Kennedy's died by hitting trees. I always liked skiing above the tree line in the Alps as that eliminated one hazard at least. 
The other thing to remember is not to ski anything remotely challenging if you have had a liquid lunch. Your reflexes will fail you if they are required in a pinch.
 

Give yourself some more time @xax As others have posted, we’ve all gone through this.
 
My suggestion is to treat yourself to something you enjoy doing - it doesn’t matter whether it’s lunch and a movie with a friend, a serious massage or working out with a personal trainer.
And when you’re feeling more frisky, set up an appointment for a great date with a good guy. 

There is a absolutely nothing wrong with an “uncle” meeting with his “nephew”! ?

Tee hee. Well maybe I could pass as their Older Cousin!! ? Seriously though, sometimes the Comp package comes up and it’s just easier to have an honest convo if people are not judging the whole thing. Seriously - contemporary society is not at all understanding. They seriously disapprove. They tend to be horrified. Especially me cause I’m a POC who loves my beautiful/handsome Caucasian young men. (College fantasies at play).

I'm going to suggest abandoning the skiing idea and instead embrace snow-boarding.   Snow Boarding explains the laws of gravity in great detail, periodically allows you to get up close and personal with nature (trees), and, well, used to be the most legal thing you could do in Colorado to elicit bouts of uncontrollable laughter...  the snow-board instructors are less about ballet and form (skiing) and more about embracing the ruggedness of life...  highly recommended...     You'll need to ensure you're in a resort where alcohol and hot-tubs are an option - you'll need them.

Proving my point.
You gays all have the same lack of respect.
You have your parades and webpages and PRETEND to be inclusive but in fact you are bigger bigots than heterosexual people are. I have more straight friends who accept my lifestyle than gay ones .

I think some escorts are glad to meet for all sorts of reasons outside the bedroom. And some may be good listeners who are glad to provide a sympathetic ear. Friends are wonderful, of course, but sometimes people do feel the need to turn to someone else - maybe someone impartial, someone new, etc. 
I've told the story out here of the guy who has been my only "regular," who I also consider a friend even though I do hire him as an escort - and the time a few years ago that he made a last-minute visit to help me through a very emotional time. He was incredible to me, and helped in all sorts of ways beyond the usual. (And no, we didn't have sex that day, though he did offer a therapeutic non-sexual massage, which was awesome.) Yes, he's someone I knew previously and had already established a nice relationship with, but he still didn't need to help me the way he did. I couldn't be more grateful. 
I think that if one is looking for a session that is more a cuddle/talk/get your feelings out kind of thing, just tell your escort of choice that's what you're looking for, and if they feel they're up for that kind of meeting, why not? And certainly if you're just looking for an hour or two of wild sex to put your energy into something other than grieving, that's perfectly valid too. As long as you know that you *may* find yourself just where you left off afterwards. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the time fully. Carpe escort. :-)
 

Those were the days… this whole online thing just doesn’t…. Cut it. I miss the Meat Market days. When you could evaluate the goods and interact. Oh…. 😭 so sad.

Oh man! I remembered a night of a good 18 years ago in Berlin, I was staying at this gay hotel which had a gay (with few rentboys, but I didn't know it until I went downstairs) bar underneath, and this super hot big muscular stud came into my room and fucked the hell out of me for 80 Euros...😍

Ski trips!
First, learning to ski sucks. You’re first trip isn’t going to be much fun.
Lots of falling and frustration. Just accept that. Trust me it gets way 
better, but the first trip is rough. 
Wherever you go, make sure there’s a great spa. You’re going to need it. 

I think the best "ski spa" in the world is at the Fairmont Banff Springs:
https://www.fairmont.com/banff-springs/
Sunshine mountain there is a great place to learn to ski as well. 
Lake Louise is too hard of a mountain on which to learn. 
Unfortunately, there’s not much else to do in Banff and zero nightlife.
The spa at the St Regis in Aspen is very good.
https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/asexr-the-st-regis-aspen-resort/
I’m not a fan of the hotel, but there are tons of other places to stay in Aspen. 
Buttermilk mountain is the place to learn skiing there. 
Aspen nightlife is fun and there’s always something to do other than ski. 
Jackson Hole is much too hard for a beginner, town is far away and painfully
straight (even for a ski town). Telluride is boring as fuck. Vail…just don’t. 
There are no gay bars…in any ski towns…anywhere…I’ve looked. 
Ski instructors are much cheaper in Europe. The conditions are never as
good as the Rockies, but the atmosphere is unbeatable. Of course, the
problem is you have to get there and the snow will be iffy in December. 
Hope that helps. Have fun!
 

Don't make broad generalizations about 'all gay people' or you are just perpetuating the same problem but in reverse.
I came out at 20yo and didn't meet many bisexuals.  It took time and experience and meeting people to gain a greater appreciation for the full spectrum of humanity sexuality. 
We older gay and bisexual men may be frustrated with the alphabet soup of the modern sexual spectrum, but it is just a continuation to change society to accept that sexuality and gender go far beyond the binary definitions foisted on humankind by cis gender, straight white men.  Show some compassion and empathy.  The fact that you are here shows you are a thoughtful human.
Even this dialogue makes me question myself... Am I looking for a gay community or for a community of the like-minded?  I gave up Catholicism for lent one year and never went back.... A joke, but it did leave a void.  Maybe I should explore secular humanism instead of the LGBTQ community. 

I have a different take on that.  I truly believe that being straight, gay, or bisexual is a genetic trait.  I identify as gay.  I didn’t wake up one day and decide to be gay.  I think the same is true for heterosexuals and bisexuals. Bisexuals may choose which gender to sleep with at any given moment, but I think their  attraction to both sexes is as genetically based as mine to men.  
 
With that said, I agree with your comments about bisexuals being unfairly treated with derision and sometimes ridicule.  If we’re expected to accept everyone’s choice of their gender fluidity on any given day, we should accept that some people are naturally attracted to both sexes without question.

Go ahead and do it. It’ll be very satisfying. I hired while going through a break up. I even cried a little while in the act. It was great. I felt awesome. I eventually felt “hell yeah. Life is good and fcuk him (my soon to be ex)!”
