These posts are great information! Can this thread be moved to the Travel Forum so others can no where to look for these comments in the future?

It appears BoysClub21 has survived. They have a new website, and the dates are current as of early April 2023. https://www.boysclub21.nl/

My point is I don't haggle. If I don't like the listed price, I just move on.

My car, 2009. My home, 2008. In both cases I paid exactly the price the seller offered.

My observation of Manhattan in 2022 was just the opposite. I was pleasantly surprised by how "clean" touristy Times Square was. My impression of Tribeca, East Village, Greenwich Village, and parts of the upper west side were of the everpresent stench of greasy/grimy sidewalks and subway platforms, and rats scurrying in and out of tree grates from underneath the sidewalk and piles of garbage each night for trash collection. I stayed in three different hotels; one in Tribeca, one in Chelsea, one on 5th Avenue. On my next trip back to New York City, I would stay in Chelsea or Times Square (as much as I dislike families of tourists, I dislike rats and the smell of urine and grease even more).

Show me each city's budget, and their pension obligations, then we can discuss "better". It's no fun to own property in a city on the verge of bankruptcy.

I use hotels.com unless booking directly with a small gay clothing optional hotel. Besides the 10th night free, it has helped me a few times when I arrived at a hotel to find that I had accidently booked the wrong weekend, or the hotel was not what i was expecting and I wanted to leave. In both insurances I called hotels.com on the phone and, because of my loyalty status with hotels.com, they were able to find a better hotel for me that night and refunded me the money for my stay that didn't work out. So, if I'm not picky about staying at a particular gay hotel (Hilton, Marriott, Holiday Inn, or boutique, it's all the same to me), then hotels.com it is. The slightly higher amount I might pay compared with booking directly with the hotel is worth the peace of mind to know I have help only a phone call away if I need it.

This is a timely post, as I will be in Hawaii in a few weeks and would like to visit Diamond Head. When reading your post, it appears that reservations are recommended but not required. It says at certain peak times entry may be denied, not always. This is similar to the art museum in Chicago which encourages reservations up front, but people are still allowed to wait in the physical queue to buy tickets. I'll take my chances and visit Diamond Head without a reservation. If I happen to visit on one of the busiest times, then I would rather come back another day anyway and not fight the crowds. Thanks for the info!

I flew WestJet once in 2015, and have a flight booked with them for this August. My 2015 flight was in Premium Economy (or whatever they called it back then) and included alcoholic beverages. The flight was pleasant. My upcoming August 2023 flight is transcontinental in Business Class with lie flat seating. Sorry my experience does not address no seat assignments or no baggage.

At the end of a private dance, if the dancer still tickles my fancy, I'll ask him if he's available for privates at my hotel or does massage. Sometimes they'll join me that night after their shift, but most will give me their telephone number to arrange a meeting for the next afternoon. But in my experience, I generally would have been more satisfied hiring someone from online than who dances in the club. It's just a different skill set.

The two warmest coats in my closet are ones I bought in San Francisco in August, two different trips. No one believes how bone-chilling cold it can feel with the fog and rain, even with a high of 70F.

“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco” ― Mark Twain

I disagree. Summers in San Francisco are bitterly cold and damp. And the gay life in San Francisco has moved on. While the gay life is more prevelent than in Boston, it's nothing like Palm Springs, Wilton Manor, or New York. As someone who prefers to not walk on sidealks littered with needles and feces, the gay bars and scenery of San Francisco is not enough to offset the city's negatives currently. My last trip there was in August 2018, and I have no desire to go back anytime soon.

I'll be in London in three months for my first time, and I've selected Bangcock for my international travel next year. Glad to hear these are good choices! I realize the world has gone to the Internet, but do you know of places in London to meet men for hire, such as bars or strip clubs? I'd rather not spend hours on mobile device searching and sorting through profiles.

That, and you could never get me to play with Pussy 🐈😺

Welcome! What is your question? I have a question... In which city are you located?

According to their Facebook page, the post regarding Ashley went up April 13th, and says he'll be out two or three months. There's also a link to Ashley's GoFundMe on The Corner Pocket's Facebook post.

Southwest is the largest airline at Las Vegas Airport (LAS, formerly McCarran). Therefore Southwest is often the only airline to offer nonstop flights to my destination. Because I'm a passenger of size, Southwest's policy let's me buy an extra seat and board first. But even with this accommodation, I still would rather pay extra and fly first class nonstop on another airline and only use Southwest when they are the only nonstop flight available. (And forget Spirit, Allegiant, and Frontier.)

It's not what you earn, but what you keep. Someone earning $50K per year with a paid off house and car and no loans could afford more on MENtal health than someone earning $150K per year but with a mortgage, car loan, student debt, and credit card debt.

Welcome to the Forum!

That's why I stick with cables. No wifi for me. Everything connected to my computer goes in or out through a cable only. I won't even use a wireless mouse.

Does that influence the rates they pay for Men, of any race?

I don't understand. Should I be questioning rates of men based on their rates? I never have this far. If a rate is too high for me I move on. If a rate is too low I jump on the opportunity to meet right away. Am I doing something wrong? This advice of questioning rates by ethnicity sounds more complicated than it needs to be.

Perfect! Glad to know race has nothing to do with it. That's what I always assumed.
