I know of at least one club in Portland which requires its dancers to perform at least twice Monday through Thursday in order to be allowed to perform Friday through Sunday. Some dancers may not even break even on a Monday through Thursday night, so they only show up in order to be able to dance on the weekend. This rule alone makes it less likely a dancer would switch venues within the same week or weekend.

I remember posting this:

The Gay Village is the only part of Montreal that is discussed in the "Male Strip Clubs" forum so far. To venture to say increased police presence in the Gay Village will affect societal change throughout the metropolitan area was never a hypothesis nor conclusion presented. Nothing of Montreal beyond the Gay Village is of interest to be discussed in this forum of Male Strip Clubs so far, unless there is knowledge of Male Strip Clubs outside the Gay Village that should be shared. In which case, please tell. My comments of downtown Portland are for comparison since both downtown Portland and Montreal's Gay Village have a few Male Strip Clubs.

I compare Montreal's Gay Village with downtown Portland, Oregon. Both are places I visit solely for sex and strippers with full nudity. About a decade ago, downtown Portland had dozens of homeless on each street downtown. Things got even worse after 2018 with BLM and defund the police initiatives so I stopped going there. Then, the voters of Portland had enough and ramped up the Police presence and today I only notice a homeless person when I first see a half dozen police officers around him or her as they work together to get the homeless person to the hospital or shelter he or she needs. Downtown Portland has transformed from a place I stopped visiting in 2018 to one that I would now visit every year, just because of the increased police presence and the tools the police have to remove the mentally ill from the streets. It sounds like Montreal's Gay Village is experiencing much of the same improvement that downtown Portland has, and it doesn't feel oppressive to the law abiding citizens and visitors.

S&P 500 reached a new record high last week. My retirement portfolio is looking very good.

I'm glad he was educated about Prep. So many people, especially older men, use neither prep nor condoms. Their rational is "his profile said he was negative". 😣

About 15 years ago there was a series on HBO called "Gigolos" that took place in Las Vegas, and a few of the stars worked for Cowboys for Angels. It was one of the few shows my straight roommates and I enjoyed watching together. They liked it because every episode showed at least 2 women topless while getting fucked (everything else hidden by underwear and camera angles); and, I liked it because every other episode showed a little bit of penis, albeit flacid.

Thank you, that has restored my faith in our society. It's good to know most of my assumptions are shared by others who actually live in NYC and visit Pride. But, the other side has enlightened me to see that some will make everything not just about race, but one particular race. I'll be in New York in September, and staying near your 'hood (I'll be in Chelsea). I like to visit New York a lot, just not particular the week of Pride events because of the crowds on Christopher Street.

In ur situation what Id do is ask if hed b ok 2 talk face 2 face bcuz Im afraid hed mite not get what u mean especially at nite when hes tired. Or just move on and ghost him and hed get the message or hed move 2 someone new. Itd depend if this is a new situation or if youd and hed been experiencing this long. Theres plenty of fish in the sea dont waste time when hes not giving u what youre expecting.

My first thought is: Why are you communicating by email? 🤔 That's rhetorical, as I know each person has his own preferred method of communication. My response, if any, would be: "I'll keep that price in mind for our next meeting.". And then it's up to you whether you have a next meeting or not.

Quite true. I was living in a rural farming community in California, so definitely not inner city New York. When my friends would ask "What's good in the 'hood?", I thought they were just asking "What's up?" or "How's your day?". I didn't realize they were calling me and others a racial slur. I was taught to be kind, like this charity: www.goodinthehood.org Maybe that's why I'm hard as a rock all the time 😈. I do like Spunk at Monster in New York, as well as Macho Mondays at Nowhere Bar when I'm in New York and hard 😈. (Trigger Warning: I'm about to use a word containing 'hood) Because Nowhere Bar is not in the same neighborhood as Christopher Street , I don't recommend trying to bar hop between these neighborhoods on the same night. The L train and transfer to 1 train just takes too long. It's a good thing Spunk and Macho Mondays occur on different nights of the week, although this may change for Pride.

I like to be bred well, is that close enough? 😉

I learned something new; because, I've never heard those terms used to reference a black person. Out here in the West, when one says "hood" images of poor families comes to mind (mostly caucasian and hispanic) living in trailers or 2 story apartments with multiple run down cars for each family and roosters crowing throughout the neighborhood. I must remind myself that New Yorkers often judge and classify people based on skin color, not on living conditions or behavior. I guess that's why I prefer the original 🌈 Pride flag design to encompass all people of all sexual preferences, ignoring skin color or body part differences.

When combined with 113F temperature, we can feel every single percent of humidity!

Ghetto originated as an Italian word to reference areas where Jews were forced to live in Rome and Venice. The first "ghettos" in the United States areas in New York City where the Irish lived. I find it a huge leep to think that @MeatHead was saying to avoid Pride because Jewish or Irish people will be present. And I remember that @MeatHead is an immigrant himself and a person of color, so I also find it hard to believe he doesn't like NYC Pride nowadays because too many people who is near his shade of skin tone attend. It is clear to me he meant he avoids Pride because "the behavior exhibited is less than becoming", although he may not be as well versed as the rest of us, being an English as a second language learner himself. I try to be empathetic and understand the context of his phraseology. To the topic of Pride, last year I visited New York City, Montreal, and Toronto during June/July. I purposefully scheduled my trip to each city to arrive AFTER each city's Pride events to avoid the crowds at the gay hangouts. It's not the concentration of devious behavior that annoys me; I am annoyed by the large concentration of straight allies that want to join the party but then want to prohibit nudity because their children are present! Pride is a victim of its own success. Originating as a protest to say gay men are not going to tolerate the invasion of our safe spaces (Stonewall), today's events are unrecognizable and lost on Generation Z.

I have heard, allegedly, that some women enjoy being sexually penetrated in the anus. If you can believe that, then there's hope!

The average temperatures posted above are meaningless without factoring in humidity and wind speed for a "feels like" or "wind chill" temperature. As a former Californian, I can attest that within a small temperature range of 65-75F can feel either terribly cold if there is a foggy marine layer present or uncomfortably hot if it is sunny with no breeze or shade. In Las Vegas, it's not summer if it's not over 100F. Anything under 80F requires a jacket. The hot weather here only gets uncomfortable in late July-August when humidity levels here soar to double digits, often reaching 10-12% humidity!

Depending on the location, winds can aggravate one's allergies. I have called in sick to work because of the wind, but added "allergies" to the explanation. Being out of the house during one windy day during pollen season can trigger my sinuses for weeks, making life miserable.

Compassion and love are like an apostrophe. Some men just won't use it, even when we wish he would.

Negative and single digit temperatures are cold in ANY measurement system. 🥶

Yup, I love upstate New York summers for that reason: you're on the right side of the lake. Winters however are another story!

The obese you saw near Dollywood was probably me! I mostly hooked up with young Daddies who had to sneak away from the wife and kiddos to let off some sexual energy with me whilst on holiday. I last went to Dollywood in late August, and it rained almost every other day. It was beautiful, and not hot. I am tentatively scheduled to visit again in November, but I'm worried about the cold. Would a jacket suitable for San Francisco summers be able to handle Appalachian Novembers?

Exactly! Mark Twain famously said the coldest winter he ever experienced was the summer he lived in San Francisco. The 2 heavy jackets hanging in my closet were both bought when I visited San Francisco in the summer (on 2 separate trips, I end up buying one every trip because I forget how cold it is!). Brr 🥶 I stopped going back to San Francisco, even in other times of the year, when the poverty/needles/feces on the sidewalks outside of my hotels became impossible to avoid. I do like Dollywood! The music, culture, food, friendly people, and hunky men that used to pay high school football 🏈! Woof! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Ok, now I am experiencing a personal heat wave! 🥵 🔥

Actually, the Bible belt and Appalachia feel more like outside the US because of the level of poverty and hopelessness! The Bible Belt and Appalachia... Those sound like they could be Freeway names in California 😂. Then I would agree on the hopelessness of the tent cities lining California freeways just a few years ago! Summers in Tennessee and Georgia are always more comfortable to me than southern California or the San Francisco area. Call me a sucker for green trees and cool creeks of the Great Smokey Mountains over Los Angeles & Ontario strip malls any summer 🌞. (Had to make a reference to our original Ontario conversation 😉).

I think the heat in the Northeast US and Midwest US has been sucked from the West. In early June, my city of Las Vegas was hot at 109F. Now we're cool at highs below 100F, so it's back to long pants and long sleeves to stay warm in the chilly mornings.
