C'mon, the answer is simple. Its the characteristics we use to perpetuate stereotypes. Those arbitrary values assigned to behaviors, so we can choose to validate our judgments.
 
If masculine is defined by brave, stalwart, muscled, hairy and baritone.... the most masculine thing I ever saw was a guy in drag who walked the pride parade in 4" spike heels... resulting in bloody feet.

More than one rentguy in vegas has told me they collect roomkey keycards for all of the major casinos.
 
The cards dont need to function, the guys arent interested in room access. People toss cards upon departure, etc... so theyre easy to acquire.
 
All one needs do is flash a keycard to get to elevators. Few casinos require keycard to activate elevator, although most have card-accessible floors. I recall one resort turning on card access late at night, but disabling it daytime hours.
 
The guys only want access to knock on your door - no dishonest intent.
 
The elevator security is tighter in urban highrise offices.

I dont know how it will end. I like all the hypotheses.
 
Watching GOT and a recent news show segment (60 minutes? ) stating George RR Martin failed to meet several publishing deadlines, he himself acknowledges the show outpaced his books, and he's no longer writing the storyline -- I cant help seeing everything through the filter of the books.
 
I find myself wondering about the books and the disconnects from the series. I read the books long before the TV series was announced, and as TV caught up and passed the books' storyline. Will Martin ever finish the series? Catelyn Stark was resurrected in the books as the series ran out of author's-steam. (Some interpreted her reappearance after the Red Wedding as becoming a White Walker; I didn't) Wouldn't it be fascinating if she reappears on the series? Rickon Stark is also alive in the latest book, although I dont expect him to be a factor in the series.
 
There are seven major kingdoms/family-alliances in Westeros of the books. Dorne, in particular, has been reduced to a much lesser role on TV... Perhaps a Dornish character will return to play a part in another twist. I expect a Euron and Asha Greyjoy confrontation. I'm glad that Gendry finally reappeared. Fantasy authors and TV editors like shock twists, and killing off main characters is a new TV norm.... so I expect something out of left field to happen. Perhaps a missing Direwolf will be a factor. I wonder what happens to Bran... Does he morph into next King of North?
 
I share the feeling of a rushed tying of loose ends as the series winds down. But its still good TV.

He is a very smart player and rarely misses a question. However, there is something about him that does not sit well with me and I keep rooting for him to lose. In any case, with his winnings already, he will be back for all sorts of Jeopardy special tournaments. Ken Jennings I found equally unappealing and he keeps showing up in the tournaments. However, when he is in those tourneys he seems more beatable. I think both of these contestants have excellent timing with the buzzer and as a result, the longer they are on the show, the more skilled they become with the timing, adding to their advantage.

So... I was chatting with Damo in Las Vegas on an app. I ask alot of questions in advance. I know it can frustrate rentguys... Im willing to lose out on some good ones to weed out the bad ones. I was just getting ready to type YES when Damo sent:
My profile make it clear what I do
U read it
U are Not buying a house or a car.
Normal people they make appointment
Anyway. U sound. Creepy take care dude.
 
Ill acknowledge I ask alot of detailed questions. Even understand if a guy says "never mind..." and moves on.
 
But given that he went to hostile and name-calling.... Im pretty sure I dodged a bullet.

That's why a handheld shower should be standard...

Perhaps find a kind way of inviting the client to take take a shower with you? A warm shower certainly makes me feel more relaxed - perhaps your clients will find it relaxing as well...

Just in this here thread?

If and when I read a thread about chickens taking Prep - I quit the Forum

As I am well into middle age and have hired more than occasionally, and I should know better, but....
 
My favorite experiences are with guys who can really seem to be into it, who act like they actually like me and are happy to hang out afterwards and chat and cuddle. The genuine BFE. I am amazed at how often I start to mistake a $$ transaction for friendship of some sort.
 
I've just recently been reminded that, however convincing the act is, at the end of the day it is just an act, and our experience is, for him at least, ultimately a transaction. Time is money, and rates are rates, and he wouldn't even be talking to me if I wasn't paying him. That can be tough to remember. To be clear, that is not a complaint or a criticism of any particular pro - they are literally doing their jobs LOL -- but is more an observation about myself: how an ordinarily hard-minded businessman can be completely disarmed by a young, well-hung, sweet and friendly guy who is willing to fulfill my fantasies for a short time.
 
Does that happen to others, or am I just a ridiculously naïve romantic?

My favorite is an oldie

"You don't have to be organic to be kosher," explains Davis. "You have to not have bugs, not have pest infestation; you have to go through the inspection."
 
I can think of many things I'd like to see judged by this standard. Including the objects discussed in the Deli forum....

I think it depends on what one can imagine worrying them....
 
Im not the least bit worried about blackmail. Im not closeted, and have zero fear of being outed.
 
We live in an age where people like sharing stuff online. For no reason other than being able to do it. Maybe chuckle at the recorded behavior. Maybe just the peculiar 21st century thrill of doing what everyone else does.
 
Go to a porn site. E,g. Xvideos.com. search "hidden" ... there are pages and pages.... every manner and scenario. I'll bet there are tens of thousands of clips.
 
I'd be mortified if my naked ass or sexual interactions appeared online. And angry at the privacy violation.

If your scam-antennae vibrate.... move on. We developed those for a reason.

+1 Dont get it. For me, substitute " distractingly-nasal" for "boring"

Never used Facebook, eh?

You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didnt tell your primary care doc anything relevant to current and potential health matters.
 
If he reacts badly, get a new doc.
 
And, how do you know your new doc isn't gay?

General rule for any transaction or life occurrence..... If something seems TGTBT, it is.
 
One of the most common elements any time something goes wrong in life.... the victim or "sufferer" says something like "I knew it seemed fishy," or "against my better judgment," or "I had a feeling...."
 
Instincts are good - don't suppress them.
