Funny you should ask. I do have one. So to recap-this guy has never been a great communicator. I think he said he was first interested in getting together in February. He sent like two texts in February. Then basically went silent and didn't respond back to several texts I made until May. I didn't text him constantly or anything. But I probably sent him a couple of texts in March and April because I thought he was cute. And he had expressed an interest. So he finally answered back in May, and we met. Then again pretty much radio silence even right after the meeting when I texted him that I had a nice time. That's what made me think he wasn't that interested. But not being sure.... The Day After I texted him basic "hope your having a good day" No response. 2 Days After-I text another Good Day Wish. Yes, I know it sounds desperate. But it really irks me when I get ghosted. It may hurt to hear/read something unpleasant. But I hate things being nebulous. 3 Days After -I for a change didn't text. And he texts me saying "Good Morning, I reply back. But he doesn't respond. 4 Days After-- He again texts out of the blue -says he wants to go out once things open up. I give a suggestion or two. He says "let's talk tomorrow" That would have been yesterday. But I didn't hear from him. My interpretation- He likes me. He really likes me at least a little. He wants to do stuff-even outside the bedroom. But apparently is horrible at the follow-thru. Gman

I've never denied it. Luckily most of the guys I've been with have been on the vanilla side too. Gman

The title has nothing to do with drugs or being in an airplane. The guy that I just met was 6'5". And with his height-therein lies the problem. Background Info: As I've mentioned before, I'm underendowed-or at the very low end of the normal scale at 5". As a top on meeting guys for the first time, I'm always a bit worried about how large their buttocks are. If the cheeks are too large, I can't gain access. I realize most tops may have that problem to some extent. But for us shorties, it's worse. Compounding my shortness are 1). I'm on the low end of normal for height at 5'9" 2) Due to age and my physical condition (or rather lack of), I don't have the strongest erection. And I can lose it easily. Considering everything; sometimes I realize I'm lucky to be about to top at all. I found even when younger (but I didn't have sex until my 40's and I'm in my 50's now-so not that long ago) and even more so now that there is really only one position where I can top successfully. That's with the guy on his back-butt at the end of the bed- me standing beside the bed, over him-with his legs either in the air or resting on my shoulders. This position affords me the best possibility of access. And to tell the truth, I'd probably like this position best anyway as I'm a face and chest guy. Plus I can stoke the guy-and hopefully lean over to kiss while I'm inside him-although frequently leaning over that far causes me to involuntarily disengage. Factors that work against me 1. If the bed is too tall -or too low to the ground-ie just a mattress on the floor. 2. If the "cheeks" are too large as I discussed above. And taller guys tend to have larger cheeks. This guy I'm talking about now was 6'5". He's probably the tallest guy I've even been with. And while I love tall guys, he unfortunately had proportionately sized cheeks. 3. I've noticed over the years that the position of the anus can vary a bit/or maybe it's just the geometry in relation to the cheeks. Some seem to be positioned more frontwards towards the tallywacker. Some seem positioned a bit more toward the back. The forward position ones are easier for me to reach. THE MEET: I was excited to meet this guy because he was cute. And I love tall guys. I was worried about physical matters. But I decided to see how things went once I got to his place. Well I get there and he is every inch 6'5" and cute. But he does have big cheeks-so I'm concerned. Then we get to the bedroom. Not only is it an enormous king-sized bed. But with the frame the top of the bed is probably reaches midway between my bellybutton and my breastbone. That's way too high for me to stand next to the bed and be able to top. Possibly if he had had a big city phonebook, I could have stood on that. But those are scarcer than hen's teeth these days. Now I'm really worried. #1. It's embarrassing. #2. I hate disappointing my partner. THE CHEAT He really liked making out. And I do too. He really wanted to bottom for me. I would have really liked that too. But I was almost positive that wasn't gong to work. SO while we were kissing I kept stroking. He liked it a lot. He did say he wanted me to cum first. But I said I was having a good time-which I was. And I stroked him until he came. It wasn't what either of us wanted most. But honestly with everything going against me the way it was- his height, his large cheeks, my shortcummings, and the height of the bed, I just don't see how it could have worked out. Luckily for me, he seemed fairly satisfied by it. And afterwards he returned the favor after he recovered a bit. Gman

Did I mention I really really dislike the idea of kissing someone who is into rimming-even if it's me that they just rimmed. I try to forget that they have probably been rimming others. Gman

Never done it. Don't really plan to. I fast forward or turn off porn when they stead spending too much time on rimming, stretching, or fingering themselves. But it's not just ani. I'm not that fond of giving head or the taste of cum either although I'm a lot more likely to give head (and have occasionally) than I am to rim. Gman

I have three possible replies 1. Might have been a bad day on the Message Center. 2. Unfortunately not everyone on here is particularly nice although the majority seem reasonably friendly. 3. Not knowing the situation, it might depend on the circumstances of asking. Gman

That's actually one of the purposes of The Deli. Gman

His gym is only 16 miles from where I live. We were practically neighbors. Gman

I felt much the same about him although in 1978 when he won the gold for the USA, I was 17. I had been attracted to good looking guys for a long time. And here he was cute and athletic. I might not have figured out 100% that I was gay. But I'm sure I suspected something (After him came Bart Conner who I thought was even cuter). Gman

I'm not sure I'm understanding. I just assumed it was the northern part of Hollywood. If there is a more esoteric meaning, it totally escaped me. So I see it is a euphemism for Canada. California/Canada-same thing. Gman

May I safely assume you're somewhere in California? Gman

Yes, but since ours combines a sprayer it can be pulled down and easily over. And even without the sprayer function, the faucet is tall enough and can be turned to the left so that it gets into the left hand side of the sink easily. Yes but as a right hander, I'd still want a more even division-because washing and peeling into a small left-sided sink still puts my body far to the left to accommodate my right hand. Well it could be. But don't forget-this is the same position my sink is in too although our left sink is larger. Ugh!! I hate that too. The owner here hates to use the disposal for some reason. I doubt it's to help with composting as there's no compost pile. I've lived in a lot of places without disposals. I prefer disposals.it just makes a mess trying to clear out the strainers all the time. Plus with the small sink not being that usable-inadvertently washing you would do in a normal sized sink gets accidentally done in the one on the right-the one without a disposal. In the year I've lived here, it's gotten stopped up at least twice. At previous homes with both sides of the sink normal sized and a working disposal, I remember very few stop ups. And let's also not forget the stupid faucet where you can't get complete hot water without turning it on full force. ?? Gman

This kitchen sink is very close to the one where I live. The main difference being the faucet on mine is situated to the right. But it is a combined faucet-sprayer. So the faucet can be pulled down and over to the left. Also the left side may be a bit wider and deeper at my domicile. But I don't really understand this sink. For one thing the left side is too shallow and too narrow. For another thing-and as the disposal is on the left-I'm assuming the thought is that you'll just scrape the food off into the left side and do the washing and rinsing on the right. But I'm right-handed as are the majority of people. I prefer holding the dish in my left hand and then holding whatever instrument I'm using to scrape the dish in my right hand where I have better fine motor control. That means I have to stand way to the left of the sink to get my right hand in position to scrape food off into the left hand sink. And the left hand side of the sink is small. So I can easily miss it. Am I doing something wrong or was this sink designed for a lefty? Oh and to get the hottest water you have to turn on the faucet full force which causes the water to splash everywhere when it hits a dish. I really hate this sink!!!??? Gman

Being well-hung and handsome gives you a lot of courage (so I've heard). Gman

We here in these latter days stand on the shoulders of giants who have gone before us. But one thing-while the principles of comedy might be somewhat timeless-individual jokes or comedic situations probably aren't as they often depend on local knowledge. Take for example the comedies of the ancient authors/playwrights. They're known-but I might go so far to say that they aren't well-known. Tragedy on the other hand is usually what is considered timeless. Even with Shakespeare, while his comedies and tragedies are both known, the tragedies are usually better known. Gman

The above is the only type of cream pie that I like. The other type is just ? Gman

While it doesn't excuse him, I get the feeling escorting is more a side thing for him. Look at the way he's taken his ad on and off since he 1st started. I don't think I ever remember you doing that, Benjamin. He seems to be a good guy if you can get him. But I don't think I'd ever try planning something weeks in advance with him. Gman

Well I think I screwed up-not in a good way though. So we met last night. We skipped the traditional third meeting (I think that is more a movie trope for guy/girl matchups anyway) and decided to know each other biblically last night. It was ok. I mean it was nice. Unfortunately after being all endorphined out, I think I probably babbled too much afterwards-and that was all self-induced babbling. I was not on any exogenous mood enhancers. To tell the truth-and I doubt any of you can tell from my usual posts:p? -I'm a pretty talky fellow before sex too. But to paraphrase a popular adage-if I continue living-there's a minuscule chance I'll learn. So if he doesn't call again-while really disappointing--here's to a hopefully better experience next time. Gman

He's escorted before. Is he not advertising now? Gman

The character actress Peggy Pope has just died. She was in multiple things over the years. Here's a scene from Soap. I will have to say au contraire that there weren't any live gays in Texas at the time. I was in high school or college when it was on and not actively 'practicing,' but I was there. Gman

Now that you mention this, I think I recall hearing/reading something about this. I always had a vague interest in Billy-don't hate me. He shore is pretty. And for a while 5 years or so ago he was was based in Olympia, Wa-not far from me in Tacoma. Events since have probably shown that I missed a bullet by not meeting with him. Gman Gman

Who is Gage? I thought he was married to Seth. Gman

what should it say? Gmsn

Today when cutting the pumpernickel, I realized that I had been cutting bread machine loaves wrong for years. If you take the picture above, I had always been taking the knife and trying to slice by having the knife go down one side as it's pictured-parallel to the long axis of the bread Today I turned the bread on it's side and sliced parallel through the bottom, i.e. perpendicular to the long axis of the bread. It made a much better slice!! Gman
