  1. Well, yes, now I see your point.
  2. A handsome man's armpits. I don't know why, I'm just grateful for the gift.
  3. I recently read a newspaper story of an 81-year-old man who had lost his life partner then later corresponded with a prison inmate with whom he fell in love. The old man enjoyed the attention of the younger, even by letters only, and fell for some ploy involving savings in gold stored up somewhere. The inmate needed help to transport the gold to the San Francisco area (where the old man happened to live, by the way), in anticipation of his release. The older man sent money to help in moving the gold, not from avarice, but from affection. Of course, there was no inmate, no prison, and no gold. Just a man-woman con artist team preying on the desperate and the gullible. When done, the old man had lost $400,000 in savings and was later subsisting on food stamps and Social Security. I feel for this man and fear for myself becoming like him in his loneliness and craving for affection. I'm not there now, and hope to never be. But at one time neither was he nor did it want to be. I am enjoying growing older (in spite of doctor labeled "age-related" aches and pains) and look forward to being 81 and older. But who would save me from becoming that man? I don't lay awake thinking about it, but the thoughts do sometimes creep into my mind. As the dyslectic said. "There but for the grace of dog go I."
  4. This is the first time I have ever been jealous of a pussy.
  5. As regards size ... A man described to his friend a weekend encounter in which the man's "date' had told him, "Give me 12 inches, and make it hurt." "So," he explained, "I screwed him twice then hit him with a brick." Maybe more appropriate to Friday Funnies, but it felt at home here.
  6. It plays for me (in Virginia). I'm not a Premium member so have no sign-in. If you use a sign-in maybe that applies a regional barrier. Just speculating.

    Completely Lost

    I agree that garlic, butter, and/or chili improve the taste of anything; that combo would make dog food delicious. But the texture of a scallop is a little off-putting to me, something like straight sex; so I prefer hot dogs to scallops.😉

    Completely Lost

    Been there, done that, wasn't fun. That's why I'm so delighted to now be 73 and not have to care if somebody likes me or not. I'm at the stage now where if I hurt my wrist, I have to lay off sex for a week or two. Hook-ups are not really a part of my current lifestyle and I've grown comfortable with that. I'm not saying you should wait 20 years and see what happens, but I am saying you're not the first to experience these feelings and you're not alone. A few perspectives: I was in my 60's before I ate my first scallop; didn't think I'd like them. And I was right. But I wouldn't know that if I hadn't tried one. If you've never had sex with a man, you won't know if it's really to your liking until you try. In The Deli section, I read members' descriptions of gorgeous escorts I wouldn't take a second look at; I just don't see the attraction. It's a constant reminder that "Nobody is everyone's type, and everyone is somebody's type." Don't sell yourself short. Somebody out there will think you're perfect for them. You're on a site that features information on young men (and some not so young) willing to satisfy your curiosity about male-on-male closeness. It can be a bumpy ride and is not without risks. But if you're inclined to try this route, sticking to well-reviewed providers on this site will lessen the chances for a bad experience. For my maiden voyage -all those years ago- I had no such resource. I did my shopping in Times Square and it wasn't the best of times, but it did make me realize I wanted more. I liked those "scallops!" Imagine you are 73 and say to yourself, "If only I were 52 again and had the rest of my life in front of me." Well, you are and you do, so make the most of it. Best of luck and keep us posted. And Welcome to our family.
  9. I'm just confounded. I have no interest in the gentlemen but after reading the cautionary stories above, I checked out his Rentmen reviews. He has 59 reviews, all but 4 of which are 5-star reviews and are from a variety of clients, with only a few repeats. My confusion is how does a guy as bad as described above get so many positive reviews, and what does that say about reliability of Rentmen reviews. And for the record, I have, on occasion, been described as naive.

    That is a very pretty boy!

    Ummm…

    A ten-foot pole wouldn't be long enough.
  12. What a gorgeous man! Thank you for posting him. Are more pics of him to be had? Or he himself?😜
  13. Since you indicated your work circumstance is a source of significant stress, let me offer an insight. I was a manager in a Fortune 500 company for many years and had numerous occasions to evaluate performance of those who reported to me; not all of those evaluations were complimentary. When individuals disagreed with my evaluations, I pointed out that these were my perceptions of their performance, and that if they wanted to change my perceptions, they should look at changing their performance. I didn't mean that as a smart-ass remark, but as a jumping off point for a suggestion. You wrote that "some employees had concerns about [your] leadership approach," but didn't provide any details. I assume these concerns are of more recent origin as opposed to older complaints. Given all the changes in your family dynamics over the last two years, spillover of stress from home to work environments is understandable. I suggest that, as best you can, analyze how your interactions and communications with others at work may have changed over time, and why, because a problem defined is a problem half-solved. Then look at ways to retrofit the best of you to become the boss you once were. The gist is that something's changed, so find out what, how, and why, then fix it. Sounds simple, and it is. But simple doesn't mean easy. Climbing Everest is simple; put one foot in front of the other and keep going up. Easy? Not so much. If you can resolve some degree of workplace tension, things might ease up overall. Also, remember you can do anything, but you can't do everything, and certainly not at the same time. Custer might have been president if he'd gotten the Indians to attack him over the hill one at a time. Make your "Indians" line up and attack them one at a time. Hope this wasn't too folksy and best of luck in your efforts.
  14. "Well, yes, as a matter of fact, that was a gun in my pocket. But I'm still happy to see you."
  15. By the thread title, I anticipated different content, but having viewed the pics, I now see the point(s).
  16. He's gorgeous, BUT ... the tatts? His choice, of course, and I wish him well. But to me it seems like using the Mona Lisa as a post-it note. Better to have left perfection as it was.

    ONNICRON

    For the virus or for misspellings?
  18. He seems to have less a comma and more an exclamation point!
  19. That is a handsome man!
  20. Lindsey Graham and John Travolta are one matter, but Tom Cruise gay?!? Oh, rock my world! In other late news, Lincoln unwell after wounding.
  21. RE: No. 2 - why have a locked gate that an intruder can easily climb?

    Things you miss

    I agree with observations made on the progress Gays have seen over the decades and the greater freedom and protections now in place and would not want to return to the darker days before Stonewall. But ... I do miss hustler bars; they were more exciting than a day at Disneyland. However, tempus fugit. Nostalgically, I agree with Barnard Shaw that "youth is wasted on the young." Ah, if I knew then ... etc.
  23. Picking up on "I like my men like my whiskey--aged 18 years!", I've also heard, "I like my women like I like my coffee. I don't like coffee." As far as the Scotch goes, I've never acquired a fondness for any of the Johnnie Walker labels, but agree that the Glenlivet 18 is a superb Scotch, with a golden glow and depths of flavor and smooth texture. However, my taste typically runs to more robust flavors, such as my favorite, Laphroaig, with its intensely peaty and smokey nose and flavorings.
  24. Rene Descartes was sitting at the counter having a cup of coffee. The waitress came by with a freshly brewed pot and asked, "Would you like more, sir?" Descartes replied, "No, I think not," then -POOF!- he disappeared!
  25. Great news from robear! Checked out the site myself and it's now working fine. With reports of others having the same problem, it seemed likely less a problem with my connection and more like something wrong at the other end. maninsoma's insight was spot on, to wait "until thisvid is fixed by its administrators." Well, at least I had a little time to rest my sore wrist.😉
