If one's life has centered around hanging out at the bar, those places that youngsters first go to cavort, then I can imagine how aging is extra hard on that kind of gay man's life.
 
Perhaps one can work on their personality. Or put down that cocktail or twinkie and go for a hike.
 

You know.... it was adapted from a film by the same name - which I would also recommend!

I binge watched S1 of Dear White People on Netflix. Nothing is sacred, which helps.
Liked it a lot although I worry it is losing momentum.
A few nice looking dudes on the show. The gay dude is a cute nerd.

I've had straight therapists that were great.

I really wanted to attend this year but the company where I worked for the past 17 years closed back in November, so I found myself unemployed and therefor unable to attend. But... I started my new job in March, so come next April I will have a week of vacation time to use. And I think Palm Springs would be the perfect place to spend it after a Michigan winter.

Yes! No complaints. I thought he was sweet as well.
Pashtun is the ethnicity across parts of Pakistan and neighboring countries. He kind of looks like some of those beautiful Pashtun men.

It’s funny. I too saw Sayeed for the first time right before he traveled a year or so ago. I thought it was excellent, he’s very kind, and he’s hot as hell. He actually looks a little more muscle-y, which I am looking forward to checking out soon. From my interactions, I would also think the porn stuff is not accurate (but who cares anyway).

I tried him and would have returned but he traveled back to his home right afterwards. Didn't know he was back. I'll try him again.
 
We had nice conversation during the massage and based on what I learned about Sayeed I wonder if the porn comment is mistaken.

The only thing (OK, one of the things) I hope is that they don't try to exactly replicate his unique mouth so that it becomes some sort of makeup travesty. Like some sort of transexual Goldie Hawn.

Curious about this smooth, young, muscled CMT.

He provides a range of services, it appears:

Yes, there are a few prior threads about him; I recall them being generally positive. While based in LA, he moves around a lot - haven't been able to meet him yet despite efforts.

This is probably the most thorough thread about "Alex":

I love Steve Kornacki!! He brings a sense of gravitas and fairness that is usually found lacking at MSNBC!

There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham

Look over there!...A dry ice factory
A good place to get some thinking done

I felt that he did not know what his sexuality was. I felt that his gut told him that he was gay but that he could not go against his friends and society in general. I thought that this struggle made him hate himself and his community (though I definitely had sympathy for his mother and that she would be sympathetic to him). Of course, he is not what we want people seeing as the only portrayal of a gay guy. Unfortunately, that is exactly what a gay guy becomes for many different reasons. At the same time, however, most people were hugely sympathetic and drawn to the Heath Ledger character who was having the same problem and was engaging in tremendously destructive behavior that impacts other people, i.e., simultaneously cheating on his wife and child with Jake. So while I did not think the main character in Beach Rats was particularly admirable I thought he was realistic and that the movie was worth watching for his performance and for the unfortunate journey he goes through, much of it of his own making.

Good interview and a good book.
Enigma Variations is similar to CMBYN how the main character Paul is too much in his own head and gets it wrong (a la Elio), which can lead to complications for himself and sometimes the other characters. That's not a complaint about Paul or Elio. I wouldn't change a thing about these characters. Good writing.

Rita Moreno has basically lived the life we all dream of; with roles in classics like West Side Story, The King and I, and more, her legendary performing career has spanned some 70 years (and she’s EGOT-ed – an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and a Tony or two all live in Moreno’s house). If the Puerto Rican triple-threat’s illustrious résumé wasn’t enough, she also had quite the love life. A love life that has involved two of the biggest sex symbols of all time: Marlon Brando andElvis Presley.
 
That’s right. Rita Moreno, ever the icon, spent some eight years in a passionate love affair with Brando – and dated Presley, too. During an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show this week, Moreno got candid about her romances when questioned by Williams. After discussing her late husband Leonard Gordon, to whom she was married for 48 years, she got to “the boys”.
 
“I cannot believe that this man slayed you so good,” said Williams, causing Moreno’s jaw to drop. “He slayed me good ’cause he was the king of everything. Eeeeeeverything,” she emphasized, raising her eyebrows. “He was the king of movies… he was really one of the most sexual men on Earth… It was one of those very tempestuous love affairs. It lasted eight years, on and off, on and off, on and off.”
 
Moreno then admitted that she had wanted to marry him, but Brando had no interest in marriage – and had many affairs behind her back. “One time when I found some lingerie that was not mine, I just went home devastated, weeping and crying – and something wonderful happened the next day.”
 
That wonderful thing? Elvis Presley had spotted her and “liked what he saw”, and wanted to meet her. With that underwear still on her mind, Moreno agreed, and she wound up going out with him – and much to her delight, it make Brando furious. “That man threw chairs – it was wonderful!”
 
If these scandalous details weren’t enough, Williams then pressed Moreno to reveal who was the better lover of the two. “That’s like a 2-year-old and the king,” Moreno saucily admitted, acknowledging that Presley wasn’t so good between the sheets, even if he was handsome and sweet.
 
“You know, Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando? Come on. Amateur night.”

Here's an interview of André Aciman speaking about his latest book, Enigma Variations, and CMBYN.

I never thought I would be so excited to see a movie about telemarketing...
 

Nice guy.
