http://maletanlines.blogspot.com/?zx=154f04de7a984297 See article after pictures. Do these guys walk away with a nice check or just the gifts over the years???? All interested parties should submit their resumes........ PS. Yes, I know it should be "breaks" up. Sorry to all who are grading my thread on spelling.

Finally the answer to one of the great questions of my generation: Who's so vain?

 

"Last year (February 2010) Carly Simon finally revealed that the actual inspiration behind her hit track “You’re So Vain” wasn't a boyfriend at all – it was record producer David Geffen. When she wrote the song in 1972, Geffen was head of her Elektra record label. She was inspired to write the damning lyrics after Geffen put all his time and energy into promoting her rival, Joni Mitchell."

Who would have thunk I would find the answer net surfing from Daddy's?

[Irtwo]

Per that blog: "But with no civil partnership or other property arrangement, Lingvall will not be entitled to any of Geffen’s riches now that they have split."

 

That's not true. There have been gay "palimony" lawsuits in California.

So why do you think they broke up. Was 28 too old for Geffen?

 

"Last year (February 2010) Carly Simon finally revealed that the actual inspiration behind her hit track “You’re So Vain” wasn't a boyfriend at all – it was record producer David Geffen.

Simon denied that it's about Geffen.

I'm guessing that it's either the obvious (Beatty) or a composite, as she said earlier; she's just trying to keep sales of her album alive with this guessing game.

[Phil_musc]

I always thought it was Beatty too. And even though I like Carly Simon - and this song - I'm not interested enough to buy the record either way. Besides, with all my time spent watching reality shows such as Dancing With the Stars, American Idol, America's got talent, plus the British permutations that people post here to keep us all apprised - to say nothing of watching Meet the Press and Bowling For Dollars - who has time to listen to these golden oldies?

[robberbaron4u]

Ah, me! "Forever" is an awful long time when it comes to love. Geffen did not despair: Alexander, The Stud Stallion to the Stars, is available. . .

[Pegasus]

Good Lord, I don't even enjoying hiring escorts who are in their early 20's much less dating one for six years. A 40-year age difference must be a very difficult hurdle to navigate in a long-term relationship--gay or straight.

I am wondering why we care about David Geffen's personal relationships. Well, actually, I am wondering why you care!

[jimboivyo]

I know escorts who have spent time with Geffen. From the little I was told, he sounds like a pain in the ass. I doubt any of his boys walk away with large checks. He's out. He doesn't marry any of them. What kind of firepower would they have to get a payout?

Why would these escorts tell you the name of any other client they've spent time with? Name-dropping about their clients is the epitome of indiscretion for all the professional men I've hired. I would be disappointed and leery of any escort who readily shared such private information.

Frankly, it's because older-younger relationships (especially when the older guy is an achiever) are sexy. And Geffen himself is sexy.

 

robber, who's Alexander?

"And Geffen himself is sexy."

 

If you say so!

why? because I asked. He's based on the west coast and I just wondered.

 

yeah, name dropping is just the worst. so much more worse than escorts who lie to their clients about being hiv+

And now you understand why I don't hire!

Excellent question, the same one that I wanted to ask!

Difficult question. I'm not sure if it's because I'm fantasizing being Geffen or if I'm fantasizing being the boytoy.

Msguy...Good Answer

Let's see, Billionaire Entertainment Mogul who is out. Philanthropist to the Arts. No, no reason to care about one the wealthier among us.

 

Frankly, it's because older-younger relationships (especially when the older guy is an achiever) are sexy. And Geffen himself is sexy.

I've noticed that guys with great physical beauty are sometimes attracted to guys with great power - and money (Beauty is in the eye of the the beholder, and honey, if he be holdin' sum money, I'll be right over).

Why not? Geffen hires multiple boys at once for late evening parties and has them over with his friends (or hangers on) so discretion is a he said, he said, he SAW kind of thing.

 

"And Geffen himself is sexy."

He'd be sexier if he tipped. I guess Jimboivyo and I have had the pleasure some of the same escorts. I've heard that Mr. Billionaire doesn't tip, and negotiates his hourly rates like $300/hour would eat into his investment capital.

Depends - are you ugly, old and poor, or Young, Hung and Full of Cum?

Cut me some slack, instudiocity; don't I at least get some credit for ruling out fantasizing being Perez Hilton?

[RockHard]

Got class?

 

He'd be sexier if he tipped...I've heard that Mr. Billionaire doesn't tip

 

Every time I turn around I hear some escort whining about respect. How on earth can you respect someone who earns $300 an hour while he has his hand out begging for a tip? Do you honestly think Geffen is tipping his lawyers?

 

Here's a dirty little secret: tipping is a concept for folks who don't have any money.

 

A lot of people will judge you, your job, and your social status on the basis of whether or not you accept/expect tips. Are you an underpaid service provider in need of more cash or are you self-employed and successful? I wish some escorts would figure out the business message they want to convey.

 

IMO, if you're an escort who clings to the need for tips, then you deserve the diner waitress status you receive. If you're an escort who dreams of playing in the world of serious money, get your act straight and don't ever mention the word tip.

 

Furthermore, have you seen Geffen's yacht? An intelligent man knows that life's greatest "tips" don't fit in a tiny glass jar. Are you educated or not?

I've read some funny questions on this board before but this one takes a prize.

 

And Geffen himself is sexy.

 

Well, I couldn't wake up to that face. He sure is wealthy, though. And there are a lot of drop-dead gorgeous men who will happily drop trou to be in his company. To each his own.

I don't always agree with you, Rock. But you're dead on with this one.

I'm actually more of a Jann Wenner fan myself, but Geffen is doable. Thought I'd much rather be "friends," David. Please, don't cry—I'll always love you and that love will be forever—not some fling we had once in Paris. Goodbye, David.

[orbital sander]

Well, Geffen is not a relevant part of MY world, and never will be, so I could care less. Speculation about the relationships and sexual lives of the rich and famous is so not of interest to me, seems like jealousy and gossip more than admiration or genuine interest about another human being.

Well, I won't waste an invitation then.

Actually, many men and women, regardless of looks, are attracted to men with great power. It's the guys/girls with beauty who can GET the men with power--and vice versa.

That's how he got to where he is today, and old habits die hard.

[robberbaron4u]

I made inquiry of a man of thirty-something years as to why he had taken up with a eighty-year old gentleman of means. In his honesty, he replied, "I like the lifestyle". Not the man, mind you, but the lifestyle. . .
