To those that have taken an antibody test that confirmed you had the virus, have you taken the test again to determine the level of antibodies?

Coronavirus: Antibodies fall rapidly after COVID infection, dashing hopes of herd immunity - study

@keroscenefire and @Leyte2019 have either of you taken the antibody test to determine if you still have antibodies to the virus? I would think the CDC, NIH, etc. would be gathering as much data as possible from those that have experienced the virus.

Thanks for your posts @keroscenefire and @Leyte2019

I had COVID and I could barely leave my bed for several days in a row, much less drive or walk anywhere.

I'm glad you've recovered. Did you ever feel sick to the point that you thought you might have to be hospitalized?

There is something about you that gay trans men like, and you specifically aren't into trans men. That's a tricky situation! A more general rejection is the polite way out. Preferences of race and genitalia are old-fashioned and unavoidably problematic.

 

Telling someone that genitals or skin color is the reason you don't find them attractive is the same thing as telling them its the reason they are unattractive. Trying to convince them its just YOUR preference still makes you look 1 of 2 ways: either you are obviously prejudiced and are willing to admit it to everyone but yourself, or you just don't know how to talk to people of different skin colors or genitals.

 

Referring to men you like as having the "working" or "right" parts implies that trans men have neither the right or working parts - or that they aren't men at all. I know what you meant when I read it, but its not something you should say to them or in a public forum. They are a gay man with a vagina. You are a gay men with a penis. You are no more manly than them because your were born with a penis and raised as a boy. We are men because we say we are and like to be thought of as men.

 

Language changes fast sometimes. But that's how language works. You either change with it or become a troll. Just because people don't think what they say is offensive doesn't make what they say any better. It makes you look like the oldest person at the family reunion who says things nobody else there would and you either call them out on it or let it slide or take their drink from them.

 

Just because something you say can seem and sound and feel prejudiced doesn't mean it is. But when people who suffer from the prejudice of others encounter the same language they've heard from their oppressors coming from someone within their community, should they really take it any other way?

Isn't that somewhat conflicting to how Caitlyn Jenner explained the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation?

But for those with glandular problems or hereditary fat, for example, I doubt it is funny at all. If it is, they are the ones who should be making the jokes, not us.

Do you think our society has evolved to that point yet, or are you just stating how things should be?

Congratulations on your weight loss.

This thread title is not funny! ?

I’m sorry if you or any other reader is offended by the title of this thread. It was certainly not my intention. I’d run across this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totie_Fields):

Actor Van Johnson, who was a friend of Fields, was said to have remarked, "When Totie lost weight, she wasn't funny anymore."

It made me think of some of the contemporary comediennes that have recently lost weight. Rebel Wilson played the character of Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect film series. She wouldn’t have gotten this part if she’d she weighed 120 lbs. Now that she’s lost a significant amount of weight, will she still be in demand for parts, or will the weight loss be a career killer?

Now that Rebel Wilson has lost so much weight, will she still be in demand for comedic parts?

It depends. If trump starts promoting the Trump Vaccine created by Vaccines-R-Us just before the election, I'll pass. When there's a vaccine available that's endorsed by the nonpolitical medical community, then yes, I would get vaccinated. I suspect once there's a vaccine, requirements to wear masks and other precautions in public are going to be eased or eliminated. There will be a lot of unvaccinated, unmasked and potentially contagious people out and about, so it may be safer to go ahead and get the vaccine. Many businesses will require employees to be vaccinated or have proof of already recovering from the virus. Maybe airlines and cruise ships will require the same of both employees and customers.

Has anyone purchased a used car from a rental car company (Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, etc)?

How does not responding to a phone call have anything to do with Covid. In fact quite the opposite. If he isn't taking customers, ,then a courtesy reply or text letting someone know (someone who took the time to reach out to him) - would be a good gesture. I'm sure anyone would respect that.

 

Also if you are not taking appts due to Covid, then take down your ad.

 

Just being honest here guys

 

Btw re-read last few threads... the red flag wasn't for not calling. But rather for multiple profiles, phone numbers no price, no reviews etc etc

I never said anything about his not calling. He's real. He's muscular. He's a nice guy. So, no need for a red flag. Try texting him at the contact number in his ad.

Thanks Dave

 

Yet another red flag.

 

I did, for giggles, try to call him last night. No response

There's no reason for a red flag. Maybe he didn't respond because he's taking the covid 19 virus seriously.

He's a very nice guy. As muscular, or maybe a little moreso, as his pics.

With so many office employees now working from home, will that become the norm when things return to "normal"? With rent being a major expense for many companies, if they find their employees are just as productive working from home, why do they need to maintain the same amount of office space they had two months ago?

I have friends coming to the US in 6 days for 2 months...

Are they visiting from your home planet?

I've never met him, but I've contacted him (many, many years ago when he advertised as 36 years old). He's not 38; he's more like 47 or 48 years old.

...stop assuming all escorts will feel cheated and resentful by negotiations.

Anyone remember Joe Cade?

Yes. I always thought he was very handsome. I never hired him, but I think I remember communicating with him in the early 90's. I did hire Jake Tanner around that time. He and his partner, Ed Dinakas, lived close to the beach in Venice, CA.

While waiting on one of my regulars (of over two years) to come by last Sunday night, I was scrolling through the pages of this site: https://menofporn.typepad.com/menofporn/changing_porn_names.

After our appointment ended, I went back to scrolling through the site. Within about five minutes, I see my regular’s picture. He’d been a model on Chaos Men, Broke Straight Boys and Bait Buddies.

sorry but you are wrong. My reply was "sorry, that is beyond my budget" That is a no thanks. He came back to me. I did not initially make a counter offer, and was in fact surprised when he replied. I replied when he asked me to give him my budget.

It shouldn’t matter who initiated the negotiation. You’re both adults. You mutually reached an agreement on the price. I doubt he was forced into the decision. It was a win-win situation until he got what he considered to be a better offer. He made a business decision to breach the agreement.

I could go around and pass out my business card to 10 guys, and most likely wouldn’t be concerned with them wasting my time or calling.

That's an interesting business strategy: handing out business cards to discourage potential customers from contacting you.

What's up with the blurry face in the pics? Acne?

Also, according to the web, Pulse has male dancers.

Pulse reopened???

The word "professional" gets used a lot in the forum in describing escorts. Do forum members consider escorts that discriminate against race, age, weight, etc., to be "professional"? Does it make a difference if the escort is upfront about his discriminatory practices in his advertising?

I'm thinking about going for 5 days in November... Any good local providers?

Have you been to Key West before? I haven't been in many years, but I'm pretty sure KW is still dead between Fantasy Fest (end of October) and Thanksgiving.
