KeepItReal

I would definitely not engage with the petitioner - it is a crime to violate the order while it stands. It is probably the best approach to review the order and discuss with an attorney. The scope of the order can depend on whether it was granted in a civil or criminal court and in my experience, much depends on the judge issuing the order and her read of the situation. Do keep copies (electronic and paper) of the interaction on Facebook as evidence but do not engage. Share this with your attorney - it will prove the petitioner's actions and that you did not violate the order by engaging.

My warped mind misinterpreted the thread title...

High expectations!

To quote a forum member from a different thread: Before you folks yell at me, I am not suggesting that hairy and overweight equates ugly, I am merely suggesting that hardworking and determined folks can have interesting motivations.

Good advice, this! Hey @EVdude can you help me with my next performance review at work??

I too got to see him last night. We talked for a bit and he is a nice guy; was open to meeting, but does have some limits; do make sure you communicate all expectations so you are both happy with the outcome. For me he did not check all the boxes. If he matures a bit, could see us meeting up.

I really think it may be the name he chose that is getting to me...

Careful - the bar could always go lower. Always good to have a plan B!!

I hate to disagree with a respected member of the forum community. But I must! No doubt providers are overrun by time wasters, but a quick video call from a prospective customer that is offering repeat business doesn't sound like anything more than the quick and direct interaction you are referring to. He's not asking for a 3 fingered selfie, or a full body pic with face, or a dick pic with a can of soda etc... If I had a dollar for every time I got the "my pictures are up to date" and it turned out not to be the case - I could retire to...rural Pennsylvania! lol Or I could be both wrong and high maintenance. Jury's still out...

Pardon me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard....

Because of my interpretation of the meaning behind submissive, I usually don't reach out or communicate with those providers to begin with. Are you suggesting that I am misinterpreting the meaning of submissive and not giving them a fair shake?

I am certainly not using "active" and "passive" in that context! Have not seen many ads where the provider identifies as a "power bottom". I've heard the phrase, of course...

Yes, I am speaking about my favorite kind of guy - the one that takes the bottom bunk. When reviewing some of the hiring sites, a lot of guys are advertising as "submissive bottoms" nowadays. Hardly any "active bottoms" which is more my things. When I think "submissive" bottom, the image that comes to mind is a guy that just lies there meekly or only acts when asked. Personally, I really enjoy spending time with a guy that is an active partner in the bedroom. Tell me what feels good or if you need a position change, for pity's sake! Of course "ferocious bottoms" or "dominant bottoms" may be taking things too far in the opposite direction... (Yes, I am picky AF) Am I being unfair to subs? Do I misinterpret the concept?

As a public service, I will summarize the content of this thread: 1) @LeonTrotsky is a hottie 2) Links to Adam4Adam can by finicky 3) Some folks' mouths operate faster than their brains (I know, it's shocking) http://gintruth.com/gnt/wpver/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/23010648065779736eEePYnpWc.jpg

I don't watch a lot of porn - it is so hard to get a sense of the chemistry between two (or more) people right on screen. Perhaps I lack imagination? Frankly, most of the actors don't appear comfortable in their own skins, from my perspective. I will say that Gay for Pay porn (Broke Straight Boys type stuff) has never appealed to me; I don't care how hot the guy is by conventional standards. I respect and support your decision to do porn, or not to do porn. You do you. http://taraburner.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/d1584da132fc6673c8779de29ccc41d7.jpg

There are a lot of young people in the LGBT community that are in need. Some in greater need - to get off the streets; a decent meal and clothing. I feel sorry for anyone that is disenfranchised because of sexual orientation, but a college education is way down the list when you can't even take care of the basic necessities of life. Feel like doing a good deed? Donate to the Ali Forney Center in NYC that helps tons of young people get off the streets - most of these young people are not even from NYC; they flock to the city from all over the country, looking to make a living of any sort.

I googled Alex Mecum's dick size. Now trying not to be a dick about it!

It is becoming more and more commercial and pretentious. I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Its a little like what is happening on Fire Island. In fairness, it could also be that my perspective is changing now that I am older, who knows.... http://i.imgur.com/RY0Bb6i.gif

There is a decision tree on this website that will help you decide which type of laptop you need/want. https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-laptops/ The article is also very helpful - they make specific recommendations. I would be less worried about the technical specs, but if that matters to you, take a look here: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/configure-next-laptop Wirecutter is my go-to review website, everything from condoms to TVs! :-)

You paid for 90 minutes of his time. By my math you received 95 minutes since you arrived early. I would be fine with this.

Sounds like you need a hug. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/06/20/dad-hugs-pride-parade-show-how-hard-family-rejection-hits-lgbt-kids/1497661001/ Pay it forward.

I have always relied upon my CPA and have no complaints. My tax return is not vanilla so she works for her money. If you are happy with your accountant, stick to 'em. My CPA told me that she frequently consults with experts in the field if need be, usually to a partner at one of the big 4 accounting firms, some of them are CPAs and JDs - twice I have paid for that consultation as she did so on my behalf. She has a professional obligation and as far as I can tell she is doing a fine job. Have you tried to ask your accountant if there are steps you can take to reduce your tax burden? Sometimes just asking the question will start a conversation that may be helpful to you...
