I'm totally OK with the catholic church driving away believers in its nonsense. Once you believe the imaginary man in the sky killed himself because it was the only way he could forgive mankind for eating an apple, pretty much everything that follows is going to be equally crazy. If having the crazy turned against you makes you wake up to how nonsensical it all is, good.

The thread was about Kelly Mehlenbacher's resignation from the Harris' campaign which is what we were discussing. My post was dated well before Kamala Harris withdrew from the race. Never mind that you don't resign from a race so assuming my comment was about Harris is a pretty strange reading of it.

Apparently this woman doesn't know what money is. Or she thinks it grows on trees. Whatever you think of Harris, she's running out of money and people get cut when the funds dry up. What the hell does this woman think is going on? Super tacky resignation.

Ha. Well, maybe I'll see you there. Seems like the kind of event that folks here would go to, but I guess maybe not.

Vaguely considering going in January, particularly since it's during the Sin City Classic and I could play some bridge too. Anybody been? How is it, particularly if you're not young and hot? The ticket includes the Gay AVN awards which I imagine could either be a hoot or super tedious.

The internet is full of cess pools. That's just one more.

Many marriages are transactional. The fact that the Hot Guy wants something out of this too isn't a deal breaker. These stories get told all the time, and my read on them is that it isn't the self interest of the younger guy that is the killer. It's the self-delusion of older guy. They want a fairy tale. Not that it never happens, but then some people win the lottery too. If you go in with clear eyes, and proper financial protections, then you can see how it evolves. Really, is trading some hot times and companionship for a british passport such a bad trade for your friend? If he had a good time for 3 or 4 years, and then hottie left your friend, would that be worth it to him? Be fair to the younger guy. If he is trying to improve his life, is marrying for money/opportunity so bad? It has been happening for millenia. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was genuine friendship and affection, but... The danger is if your friend starts to fall into princess mode and think this hot young guy will be faithful to him forever. Love cannot be bought. But, the stories of older men throwing their wealth at younger men hoping that this truism will somehow not apply to them are legion. When younger hottie achieves his needs, then the transaction begin to end.

This is the crime, Solicitation. You are offering money for them to commit a crime, in this case, taking money for sex. (Obviously not in countries where prostitution is legal) If you hand out a card to that effect, then you've just given the local District Attorney an ironclad case against you. I would think the old fashioned way of flirting with someone and letting them know you're a generous foreigner would be safer and more effective.

Most muslim countries make gay acts highly illegal. If you really like asian men of that look, I'd consider carefully where to fulfill it. I'm a big traveller, but I stay away from those parts of the world. They aren't welcoming to us. Have you considered India?

Yes, I imagine public scat play is 'EPIC' the first few times.

Please don't let this place turn into cesspool of judgy bitchiness. That forum is that-a-way. This forum even has an ignore feature, so you can just ignore people that annoy you.

Oh great, another clueless old white guy. Just what the race needs.

I thought the whole story line was dumb. I like Marvel movies, being a bit of a comic geek, but it felt like they just shoehorned in way too much.

I also reached out to some of the guys on hunqz. Found when I arrived that grindr just worked better for me, and cheaper, so never pursued any of those.

We didn't go there, but I got the sense they would have. Good luck on your visit. The one issue I had while there was I didn't plan ahead on a mobile data plan. I normally just use my phone and pay a few extra bucks a day. That didn't work for me in Moldova, data was $15 a mb which is insane. I turned data off and just used Grindr from my airbnb on wifi and that was fine, but I would have preferred to be connected while out and about.

So many guys are frankly delusional. The guy can like you, but that doesn't mean that money isn't the primary motivation in the relationship. I liked a lot of people I worked with. I wouldn't work with them for free.

The local guide I hired (a woman who had lived some years in London) insisted it had fallen to number 2 behind Belarus. I didn't argue the point, but if I lived full time in Moldova, I'd probably drink a lot too.

I spent a week, and I think 4 days for just kiev is plenty unless you just like to hang out. I highly recommend the day tour to chernobyl . Very interesting, and despite some fears, you get less radiation visiting there than you do flying in a plane. One of the guys recommended going in late spring or fall. Basically when the trees have lost their leaves. Gives a clearer view of all the abandoned buildings. Good advice, but I enjoyed it just fine in september with all the leaves still on the trees. Other than that, old churches, and the like in the city. A few museums. I did not visit any other cities in Ukraine, but heard good things about Lvov in particular, but also Odessa. I might go back to see those at some point, because I still want to visit the baltic states and a revisit to Ukraine would be worth it.

Not sure I'd recommend a visit just for the cheap escorts, but I spent 4 days here in September, and had lots of hits on Grindr. Guys got together and happily took 20 Euro after. I had one hottie try to get 100 euro, but with the other options I gave him a pass. It is the poorest nation in Europe, and it does show.

I was in Kiev in mid-september. Had no luck finding escorts on grindr, but I found reasonably priced guys on www.hunqz.com (planet romeo's escort site). I stayed at an Airbnb overlooking independence square and that worked out well for me.

I did not know this story, but appreciate the BBC publishing it. A Doctor in China whose heroic actions saved thousands, but cost her dearly. Dr. Shuping Wang has Died

To me, sex and marriage aren't connected. Marriage is about love and commitment. Sex is about Mr. Happy. Of course, I married my best friend, a woman, 25 years ago as an out gay man, so it is probable that my views are non-standard. I think if you have love and commitment in the relationship, everything else is negotiable.

I am a Christian only in the sense of Matthew 7:12 " So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." If that is in fact the whole of the law, then I'm good, because the rest of the shit people put around it is crap. (Though much of matthew 7 is pretty good.) Of course, I don't believe in the existence of a magical man in the sky, so I'm pretty sure I'm not much of a Christian. I have a friend who is a catholic who often posts stuff which I read just to remind myself why I want nothing to do with that stuff. For example, Cardinal Sarah explaining how secularism is destroying the world because really it was soo much better when religious bigotry ran the world...
