Pensant

I could care less what they think. In fact, I am frequently at a hotel in LA and sometimes introduce my weekend special friend to the desk folks, whom I’ve gotten to know. They love it and the breakfast servers are always complimenting my good taste!

Ooh, Victor!

Cute! Just wish he were a bit taller.

If you stay in Pest near the river or in the Old Town in Buda, you’ll avoid most of the Socialist Realism stuff, although I find Stalin’s neo-Gothic Seven Sisters quite impressive. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Sisters_(Moscow)

I don’t think that Finns would consider themselves Magyars. While their languages are Finno-Ugric, they’re different ethnically.

It’s all part of “prole-drift”. http://wmbriggs.com/post/537/

I was there in 2001 and loved it. Novy Svet is a particularly charming district. Although very attractive for the most part, I found the Czechs to be a relatively standoffish lot, similar to the Hungarians and the Finns.

Hopefully, the responses have helped you. Leon’s a lovely young man and I enjoyed our visit. Who knows why he doesn’t respond? It’s more common today than before, as we all know.

Certainly not him! I was generalizing, which is a part of rhetoric.

No, he was 21. They all shave a few years off their real ages. I don’t make snarky comments when others drool over hairy dad-bods. Neither should you.

He did everything I asked for

The quality of providers has declined compared to 10 or 20 years ago. Lots of ugly beards and beer bellies. I’m far more fit than many of them. The ones that hit the gym are largely freakish looking because of steroids. And the number of fakes these days...too many to chronicle. Is this the Grindr effect?

OTOH, some clients might prefer it a little sweaty.

I’m reading a book about the origins of WWI, and the diplomacy did seem more civilized in those days, although frequently wrong-headed, as events later confirmed. Austria-Hungary was actually thriving economically because of the imperial free trade regime. Cisleithania, the German part, had its own government, as did Transleithania, the Hungarian part, which was much more aggressive than the former in trying to impose Magyarization on the Slavs. The only imperial functions were defense and foreign affairs.

Saw him three years ago and highly recommend! Smart and uninhibited. He’s reached out to me but our schedules never synced.

What a poseur. I don’t find him attractive and that response is psycho. You dodged a bullet and are saved $500!

Yes, you’re very kind.

The Wittelsbach Dynasty, like the Hapsburgs, left an enduring architectural legacy from Munich to L’viv and south to Croatia. The Hapsburgs also left a great deal of architectural treasures in Spain. Remarkable people and much more loved by the people than the Windsors, Hohenzollerns or Romanovs.

Years ago I had a houseguest and I allowed him to bring his puppy, who was cute as hell but very rambunctious! It got on my nerves since I’m such a neat freak. I allowed my friend to use my car while I was at work. At the end of his visit he picked me up at work and my SUV was freshly washed. After kissing him goodbye I drove home to find a huge bouquet and a thank-you note on the kitchen table. It was really super.

Interesting how Americans largely use the verb “pass” rather than simply “die”.

I actually do have a great ass.
