Mr. Bookman would have some words for you.

“If a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self—himself—he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it.” -Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat

Clicked the link. Interest piqued.

I got nothin’.

Actually, said tableau reminds me of a Sex and the City scene that finds Samantha waiting a long time for a date to show: “She hadn’t expected to be caught out in public alone without a book, project, or any of her dining-out-alone-armor.”

@mike carey that tableau is

I know nothing about this Avalon character of whom you speak ?

Yes — I forgot about the festive snow emojis in this context! Fun Guys who escort or massage or indeed have any trade cannot advertise on Grindr; their account will immediately be permanently deleted if they solicit someone and that someone decides to inform on them, which renders necessary the “gen?” and related payment emojis if you wish to use the app to find clients. I’m fairly certain that this only imperils the accounts of the guys who advertise their services — not the ones of the people who wish to avail themselves of said services. If you are messaging someone in a client capacity, I think that typically the worst a person who doesn’t want to massage, escort, etc., will do is block you. Some guys write in their profiles “I do not want money so don’t ask” so as to preempt any offers.

I liked him in It’s a Wonderful Life, then became enamored of him while viewing The Philadelphia Story. Though Cary Grant, one of the co-stars in the film, is more classically handsome, with a more genteel accent, I was all about Jimmy.

He who smiles rather than rages is always the stronger.

I’m pretty au courant, but I’ve no clue what all this is. Marijuana, typically. The alternative, enjoying the outdoors and arboriculture/horticulture, would be expressed in writing without the aid of an emoji. Having a hobby of smoking marijuana may also be couched as “I like ‘greenery.’” “Gen?” means “Are you generous (monetarily)?” ?, ?, the word “party,” and a capital “t” where it ought not to be (e.g., I like To have a good Time), all indicate a proclivity for crystal meth (street name “Tina”). (They can show up the middle of words, too.) ? — roses are used less often, but several times men have hit me up asking “How many roses?” In turn, guys who wish to be paid may also use them. It’s a means of solicitation. ??‍♂️ means that one lifts. ⬆️ means that they top. ⬇️ means that they bottom. ↕️???? all mean versatile. ? (or a similar emoji), means that they are hip and spiritual, or at least that they fancy themselves as such.

(But I am young; and I am young, and strong, and in good health; and I am young, and pretty to look at; and I am too young to worry; and so am I, for my mother is kind to me; and we run in the bright air like animals, and our bare feet like plants in the wholesome earth; the natural world is around us like a lake and a wide smile and we are growing: one by one we are becoming stronger, and one by one in the terrible emptiness and the leisure we shall burn and tremble and shake with lust, and one by one we shall loosen ourselves from this place, and shall be married, and it will be different from what we see, for we will be happy and love each other, and keep the house clean, and a good garden, and buy a cultivator, and use a high grade of fertilizer, and we will know how to do things right; it will be very different: ) (?: ) ( (?) ) : ) -James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men

It is I.

It’s the juxtaposition of provocative, titillating overtones against the backdrop of seemingly dignified, proper, unsexy, perhaps even chaste “ladies” and settings — all through the instrument of increasingly formal, hoary (pun intended) vernacular with a soupçon of absurdly-placed scientific jargon, to boot.

Actually, it’s fairly bothersome when rather than vouchsafe their precise address, they will only send their location via the Grindr feature — as many are wont to do for whatever reason. One time I spent nearly twenty minutes walking around in the general vicinity of one person’s place and was so annoyed that I almost left, having said “Just give me your address” multiple times, but he implored, “No I’ll come find you!” (He did.) He actually wanted me to come back to his place again after that encounter, but I declined (not only was I irked the first time — he also sucked at sucking — but I digress). Some friends have groused about this too. I think perhaps they think that you won’t remember their address if they don’t put it in writing for you. One of the times that I did get the address, I arrived at the guy’s building and asked, on Grindr, which apartment was his. He replied, “I’ll come get you,” even though it was clear that people could enter the building without the aegis of one of its occupants. I guessed that maybe he didn’t want his apartment number written out for fear that his paramours would more easily recall it. *shrug*

You are not doing anything wrong, and you are correct. No, they cannot see your location unless you send it to them. Similarly, even if you’ve sent yours, you cannot see theirs unless they do likewise.

This might be a deliberate pun, but the fact that there’s a good probability of it being your autocorrect carrying out further your spelling of “versa” as “versatile,” perhaps owing to copious amounts of texts using the latter word, is as equally entertaining.

When I was maybe 16 my mother told me that I had the intellect of a 35-year-old and the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old. Let’s... adjust it for inflation, in a manner of speaking. Intellect: 40. Emotional maturity: 20. The mean of these two values is 30

For an escort, to speak of one is to speak of the other.
