  1. Questions regarding escorts reactions to client’s age, ethnicity, and weight are constantly coming up on this site. The solution is really quite simple. At an early stage of communication with an escort upload him regarding age, physical appearance, activity level and sexual likes and dislikes. I always provide this information to an escort I’m interest in hiring and conclude by asking him to contact me if none of the information is a problem for him. I’m 75 and if the guy I’m communicating with doesn’t want to play with someone my age he simply doesn’t have to respond -- this has happened ONLY once and at that time I was in my 60’s.

     

    The ABSOLUTE KEY to having a successful get together with any escort is ALWAYS honest COMMUNICATION.

  2. You are absolutely correct Mike. My grandfather came to the United States in 1906 and was followed four years later, in 1910, by my grandmother along with their oldest three children (my dad included). Dad always talked about passing through Vienna on the way to take passage from Bremerhaven, Germany to the U.S. He vividly remembered, as a ten year old, seeing the old Emperor Franz Joseph riding along the main street of Vienna in a horse drawn open carriage. Damn does this make me feel OLD

  3. My father was born in Europe and emigrated from Slovenia (he always said Austria) as a boy. Pork was his meat of choice. His breakfast ALWAYS consisted of basted eggs, slab bacon, dry toast and very strong coffee. My mother kept an old fashioned one pound Hills Brothers Coffee can on the stove in which she stored the bacon grease. In our household eggs were always fried in bacon grease. My father loathed butter which he call axel grease.

  4. Jesus H Christ guys retract your claws and give these guys a break. Not only does Hunter Lee post on this site but he has been well reviewed by jawjateck who is well known for having impeccable taste in escorts. So maybe these guys aren’t your types but why the need to beat them to death with all sorts of mean assumptions

  5. WilliamM I have never visited St. Petersburg thus I can’t comment on the Hermitage.

    I did, however, neglect to mention two museums and one palace in Madrid.

     

    The Prado - has probably the best collection of Spanish art of any museum in the world.

    The Reina Sofia- is worth a visit if for no other reason than that Picasso’s Guernica resides there.

    Palacio Liria (the Madrid home of the Alba family) - A year before my trip I applied for a visit. It is a home but damn what a home considering some of the magnificent Goya’s housed there. My tour was in Spanish and was led by the family’s chief archivist. Frankly it was an experience I will never forget and will always treasure.

     

    When I visit the Barnes, and I will, I will definitely take you up on the lunch offer

  6. I taught Advanced Placement Art History yet I have very mixed feeling about various art museums.

     

    1. Louvre – I absolutely HATE this museum. I hate the constant crowds besides 75% of the contents is pure shit. The other 25% is quite wonderful if you can get close enough to enjoy it.

    2. D’Orsay - I absolutely LOVE this museum. Although I’m not a great fan of Impressionism the lay out and setting are great.

    3. Uffizi – Probably my favorite art museum. 90% of its contents are wonderful. Crowds can be daunting but if one goes early or late it’s fine.

    4. New York Metropolitan – Some really wonderful things but also a good amount of junk. Its special exhibitions are frequently outstanding. The price is right – donation only requested.

    5. J. Paul Getty – A perfect example where the building architecture takes precedent over the contents. One spends a great deal of time going up and down and up and down. Richard Meier could have cared less about properly displaying the art works. It was all about his building. He absolutely hated Robert Irwin’s garden design and walked off the site when he could not get it changed to meet his idea of what it should be. As far as I'm concerned the best thing about this museum IS the garden.

    6. The Norton Simons – Is a very nice small museum in Pasadena, CA that has a few really nice things and very small crowds.

    7. British Museum – Not really an art museum but has a large numbers of very interesting things including the Elgin Marbles (now for the sake of political correctness called the Parthenon Marbles), and the Rosetta Stone.

    All of the above are great places to guy watch.

     

    P.S. I have always wanted to visit the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and they are both on my bucket list.
