We all need a little Frodo in our lives…. Oh, "fo do"…. Never mind.

Again, when you post multiple times in a thread with no one responding to your posts in between…… It makes you look obsessed/insane…..and you need to let it go.

Of course, the airplane nerd corrects me. Grin. What can I say….I don’t go to "Jersey". I take the JFK-MXP flight if I’m flying Emirates to Europe. A. Yes, I looked up the Milan airport code to make sure I got it right. and B. Yes, I get hard when you speak airline to me. Lord, over a decade later….and I’m still in lust with my luxury top brother. Folegandros looks amazing…..when are we going?

No. 432 Park is around around 57th street. That’s’ midtown, not Upper East. Not to mention, the building notoriously sucks….and it’s in Midtown.

First…..I’m incredibly jealous. Can’t help with LAX-ATH flights but there are nice EWE-ATH flights on Emirates that are frequently available on Emirates for points. And Emirates 1st Class…is real 1st. Mykonos is nice, but unless your into the circuit scene there are better places to spend your time and money IMHO. Santorini is heaven. Spend the cash and get a crazy room overlooking the caldera. It’s touristy as fuck and loaded with newlyweds, but I still think the place is magical. Great food and surprisingly good local wines. Athens is a dump. If you’ve never been, spend a day seeing the highlights and then get the fuck out of town. If you’re into monasteries Meteora is pretty accessible (but too far for a day trip). If you’re REALLY into monasteries Mt. Athos is stunning, but it takes a fuck ton of preplanning and/or luck to visit. Hiking Mt Olympus is a real achievement. Most Greek Classical ruins…are in ruins. There are better ones in Turkey. Just FYI, Greek trains are pretty rough. I’ve ridden next more than a few chickens. No joke. Thessaloniki is beautiful and rich in Byzantine history/art/architecture. Home of the frappé coffee. Fair warning, they’re addictive. I think of Thessaloniki as Athen’s prettier and more refined little sister. Don’t overlook Corfu. After a week sailing the Cyclades (did I mention I’m jealous as fuck….and available?), it would make a nice contrast. It’s more lush than the rest of the Greek Isles, but after a week (which I happen to have off….grin), you might be suffering from island fever and need a break. Hope that helps. Have fun!

Not to mention, it’s butt ugly. The "house" looks more like a 2nd rate Miami hotel.

Agreed. I think you could have picked a much better photograph to try and illustrate your point. Those two don’t look particularly “American" to me. They’re dressed too well and appear to be behaving appropriately.

Damn, that is one tasty looking pizza pie!

Don’t be so sure. Towards the end, Nureyev was pretty tired and a well known habitué of the grungier corners of gay society. They may have been thinking…."who’s the cute kid dancing with the worn-out ballerina?" Things are not always as they seem….especially in retrospect.

I’d be pretty insulted if I were Belgian. Then again, I’m not Belgian….so maybe they love it? Personally, I think it makes them look ridiculous, on a world stage.

Well, whoever he is (yes, he’s deleted his account again after being mentioned here)…. I wish him the best, but these have got to be the worst Business 101 moves I’ve ever seen. See "Chapter 12: Building a Brand"

Ok….lemme put this another way…..

@xyz48B baby, take it from someone who has been there….. When you post 5 times in one thread without anyone else replying in between your threads…. You’re obsessed. You’re only talking to yourself like a madman and it’s time to let this one go. Pepperoni with mushrooms!

In general, not well. I’ve been to Vegas tons. Visited various spas and their sauna areas. Most of the cruising that goes on is very subtle and furtive. The rare success story usually involves arranging to leave the spa and heading back to your room with them. Of course, that’s assuming they/you aren’t waiting to start a treatment and that you’re staying at that resort. Your success rate will diminish greatly the farther in space and time your hotel room hook up is away from your initial contact in the spa. In my experience, it’s easier to hire.

One wonder how they’re not being charged with kidnapping and taking their passengers hostage. I fucking hate lawyers and the courts, but drag me out to sea and dump my ass in the Bahamas? Are you fucking kidding me?

News flash…. Old Women regret being whores when they were younger! For the record….I don’t regret any of it. I had a fucking blast. I knew what I was doing and I was free to leave at any time. Did I get myself in over my head and into "creepy" situations? Oh hell yes! All the fucking time. But all I had to do was politely excuse myself and leave. It was never once a problem. Sorry girls, this old whore is calling you bitches out. In your own words, you were free to keep your panties on.

As a close friend once said to me…. "You don’t understand alcoholism….because you’re not an alcoholic." It doesn’t make "sense" and it sure as fuck isn’t logical. It just is. Hopefully, your heart is big enough to love them with their flaws, and theirs is big enough to love you with yours.

More likely..... Some of Calvin's "boyfriends" have had work done in a delusional attempt to retain their position as Calvin's "boyfriend". I don't see Calvin "requiring" anyone to do anything. You joined the circus. Don't act surprised when you have to have to shovel the elephant shit.

If that's your ass in your avatar....I think I know the answer.

You're so cute.....when you play dumb....you know the answer...is NEITHER.

Unfortunately, that’s usually the case. Whenever I give, I give with an open hand. Be it a friend, an escort, or the Met Museum. I expect nothing in return. I would say 95% of the time I don’t even get a thank you note. Fuck, even the Met I usually have to bug just to get my tax deduction forms every December. The nice thing about expecting nothing, is you’re never disappointed. Yes, it’s wonderful when someone says "thank you" or goes out of their way to "repay" you in some small way, but it’s never part of my calculations in gift giving. Now, does it affect the second and third rounds of "gift giving"?….You bet your ass it does.

Yeah, most of these guys aren’t rocket scientists. They bite the hand that feeds them long before any demand is even made. They just assume the demand is coming soon, so they take the money and run. Intelligently prudent or foolishly overcautious?….it’s a question as old as the profession. Live and learn. And when you do find the right one….treat him like a prince.

Search under his RM name. You’ll find more. In 2016 I said….. "Rocco is a very nice guy, he looks like his pics and we had fun. Delivered on everything he promised and was eager to please. For me our chemistry just wasn't a 100% match, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for others to try." That’s pretty faint praise and 6 years later I have ZERO memory of ever meeting him….doesn’t sound promising.
