Hit by rising commercial rents in many big cities LGBT bars are facing an additional competition from dating apps (Grindr and Scruff) that have eliminated the need to meet first in bars or pubs. Gay men have been quick to adopt the new technology.
 
Maybe old selfies, retouched, fake, professional misleading pictures and endless texting might bring some gay men back to bars.
 

 
Unfortunately because of high rents and endless regulations (pointed by @bigjoey on another threads) so many stores in SF are empty... Polk St now is a great example!

When I moved to San Francisco in the mid 1980s, both the Castro and "Polk Strasse" neighborhoods had a lot of gay bars. I'm not sure when most of the gay bars in the Polk area closed, but even pre-pandemic there was only one left (The Cinch). Back when I lived in the neighborhood we had The Giraffe (video bar with lots of cute guys), QT (I think some considered this a hustler bar but I went because they frequently had great live music), N Touch (seemed to be focused on Asian and White men looking for each other), Polk Gulch, White Swallow, Rendezvous and I'm sure many more I've forgotten. Not that other neighborhoods in San Francisco haven't lost gay bars, but basically the Polk transitioned from a largely gay district to one with no distinct identity.
 
Edit: I just remembered another one on Polk -- Kimo's. If I'm not mistaken, this one had frequent drag shows.

There are so many, and so many bring back memories of good times had.

Posts here about all the fighting and one-upmanship, arguments in the Politics forum. I don't see them. There is a thread at boytoy.com about all the racists here, and I don't see that either, with one or two exceptions. All in all, I think this is a pleasant place to post and while away the time. With so many posters there is bound to be some conflict, but take it with a grain of salt and move on!

"Dinner's ready . . Cum & get your appetizer!"

Just from what he says without even looking at his ad I get the impression he not only has an attitude but he has poor communication skills and poor customer service skills. He has a very bad approach to his business and will repel potencial clients. I wouldn't consider him no matter how hot! There are so many others out there.

What a charmer. Sign me up...to do something else.

After reading the full ad....I was exhausted from all the demands. When I get my strength back I will look at someone else LOL

"Hidden Assets" ... and he who seeks, shall find! ?

Our Hero Firefighters and First Responders! ????

does he escort?

He’s got a gorgeous backside.

Plenty of men have strong pheromones and the scent is not easily washed away. I can take a hot soapy shower, dry off, and still smell my armpits. People have a natural scent.

Scruffy Bearded Blue-collar Men Can Be Hot! ?

He lives in a country town 50 miles north of here. I can well imagine being able to find young straight/DL guys there willing to drop their pants for $100 or so.

I will admit that he was one of my hot finds a couple of years ago porn-wise, but I get bored when they start making so many films and it becomes the same old. His ad is very off-putting to me. I know he is popular and can cop and attitude, but the way he words it turns me off. Well, I am sure he won't be suffering if I don't hire him :-)

WOOF!!! Some smells can be nice depending on the person. Years ago I used to see a part-time dancer in Montreal who loved that I also enjoyed and shared a personal fetish of his. He told me something in French that translated he said into something like "It stinks good!" ?

Or the ones who declare, in a voice laden with contempt, "I don't pay for it."

Just something about the way certain men smell. Not something I do with just anybody, but some men's natural body odor just smell so damn good! ?
