I'm so happy for you that you no longer consider yourself to be lost or lonely. This greatly encourages me. Now, to work on the alone, and for you to realize that even when you are not in a relationship you are never truly alone 🙏

I've read that Lebanon's coast was like a Middle East Riviera in the 1960s and 1970s, prior to all the warfare. Would have been nice to see it back then.

I know everyone else is probably looking elsewhere on his physique, but is that an ankle monitor he's wearing in photo #3? And before anyone asks - no, I do not have an ankle/foot fetish. 😇

Holy cow - you managed to see 7,000 masseurs between the start of your post and the end? Impressive! 🤣

Interesting comparison - LOL. I just thought a bit of context could be helpful - no need for any gore.

Yet, he doesn't list that in his profile... maybe he doesn't do that with everyone?

I've stayed at the Flamingo more than once, but the last time was just as the pandemic started. I stayed mid-week, and I think it was about $55 + around $30 for the resort fee, in US dollars. Which seemed like about $18,000 Canadian... lol.

I imagine there might be more to see and appreciate on a longer visit. I was also there for a couple of days before a cruise, and I thought it was a decent enough place but not really my vibe. I didn't have time to properly orient myself or visit museums, etc. I also didn't experience the food culture, which I understand is pretty good. I wouldn't mind going back for a longer time to explore some more, but would likely combine it with another cruise again rather than making it my primary destination.

I think it's all relative. In my family, anyone who doesn't have a rug of hair on their back is considered 'lightly hairy'. And that includes some of the women.

At first glance I thought his name read 'Latinomouse'.

They may share their sausage with you.

So... why bother commenting? Some people are interested in your experience because you made the comment that you did.

Maybe has prosthetic hands, and you have and on/off option.

Me as well. The past few cruises I've done have spoiled me with the expectation of 'resort casual'.

Hopefully it was before I posted that GIF 🤣

What make of massage chair do you have? I should invest in one and maybe I'll finally get lucky.

I think you raise a very valid point. Kids are learning a whole new set of info today compared to GenX'ers like me. And the workload in school is ridiculously heavy. Things I didn't learn until high school are now being taught in early junior high (middle school). I don't recall having homework until grade 6 or 7 - now kids in early primary are having to do research projects. Yet fewer and fewer people seem to be adequately prepared for the real world when they finish school. It may seem that I take a strong negative position against many GenZ'ers, but it's their attitudes that I find appalling. This is not their doing, but is because their parents created fearfulness, entitlement and unrealistic expectations about life. It's very unfortunate.

Based on your experience, what would be the best time of year to visit Buenos Aires? I know very little Spanish, so would it be a challenge getting around, visiting museums (any English translations for exhibits?), or eating out? I don't want to be a tourist that is disrespectful by having an expectation that things need to be catered to my ignorance

I agree that some things are more challenging today than they might have been in the past. Much of it can probably be linked to the pervasive use of social media to measure one's worth and value. One big issue that GenZ has to struggle with is that they will generally need to pay a larger portion of their income for basics like housing, compared to past generations. Though part of the problem is that many young people are not wanting to start out low on the property ladder - a lot of young people think they should be able to enter on a higher rung just because a young celebrity lives in a $10m house. Or they expect to live in the most desirable and least affordable parts of their city from the get-go. Older generations know how to make sacrifices and patiently work for a goal without any guarantee that it will be achieved. I rarely see people in their 70s and 80s trying to hang on to their job - in fact, most of the people I know are trying to retire by 55. GenZ people have good qualities like every generation, but their propensity to give up easily when confronted by challenges (because they are used to being labeled 'winners' for simply showing up in life) makes it hard for them to use the positive qualities they have in a meaningful and lasting way. It's not that they are inherently different than previous generations, it's that many were raised with kid gloves and with unrealistic expectations of life outside their comfort bubble.

Could be the same person, but one ad says he's 5'7" and the other says 4-inches taller... not that such inconsistencies haven't been seen before.

Wow, that's pretty advanced for a first time. Was he even able to walk afterwards?

Was this one of those airport massages? lol

What does boyfriend-sized mean? Excuse my ignorance...
