Good eye...mine were distracted..

the way this year has been i kind of have to do this

I'll be doing the usual old-man Spider-Man should any ghouls or goblins show up at my door for candy this year. So a Spider-Man costume t shirt, under an awesome spider hoodie, with the addition of a Spider-Man buff/mask thingy. See the photos below for a general idea of just how nerdy I am. I have both hoodies, and alternate between the MCU one and the Spidey 2099 one

Hah! I'm rewatching Halt and Catch fire myself! I watched it when it originally aired, and loved every moment of it. The first season is definitely slow, and really for the nerds through most of it, but each season builds on the previous both in character development and storyline, and they also introduce a new level of tech in each season. It's a fun and fairly accurate take on the computer industry of the times. Season 1 is basically telling the story of Compaq Season 2 is all about startup culture, I'm almost through 2 now Season 3 is about how everything changes as you see success Season 4 is the birth of the web

Im 39! Not quite there yet but definately dont fear it coming 😼

What a nice idea! Barb's: Ariel Barefax: Nikki NuDen: Megan

This may also be an unpopular opinion to actually state, but hey. I've never been that popular anyway! If you're a single guy, and don't fit the ideal mold of what a guy should be according to the ones who control the various media empires; online dating, online profiles, tinder, POF, etc are the bane of your existence due primarily to the law of supply and demand. There are many more men on these sites looking for whatever, as compared to the number of women on them. Women can afford to be more choosy of who they are going to spend time with. This amplifies the self-hate culture, and starts bringing out the worst of the personality traits among the "rejected" masses of men, and why you see such a huuge number of complaints about "creepy dudes" online. This means that the newer generation of women are being told at a young age to expect it. Where in previous generations, women needed to be careful of some creepy dudes in public, now they need to be wary of 10^X creepy dudes online who are so desperate for any sort of attention that they start off aggressive and have their finger poised on the "Send Dicture" button on their phone. The self hate and desperation just gets worse, the guys feel worse about themselves and lose all semblance of decorum and just keep digging themselves into a deeper hole. Then there's me. I'd like to think I'm not creepy, I'm just not particularly tall, not particularly athletic, and I can pass for "cuteish " on a good day, but in many cases, I would get automatically lumped into the "creep" category online, and more and more in person because of my age, solely based on not meeting this media centric ideal of what a "guy" should look like. Like I was saying before, similar to what women face, just with different twists. Men are just starting to catch up over the past few years to what women have been facing since at least the 1950s, in trying to adhere to that ideal media centric woman. Ok I'll stop talking now, I ramble way too much these days. Old man rambling even.

Men most definitely experience something like this as well, just in different ways. *Generally* men don't have the same dynamics together that *generally* women do. I'm using the terms generally here because I'm talking about the overall population here in the area I live, as well as what we see in media. Men won't necessarily "tear down" other men based on the way they look, but often will for things adjacent to that. Things like height, athleticism, and that sort of thing. It also takes a different form where there's lots of "shit talk" going on in a group of friends and for the most part it isn't taken to heart. Where it does seem similar to what you're talking about, has a lot of the same roots, how people are portrayed in media, and over the last decade, social media. The idea that a man needs to be tall, strong, have not only a good paying job, but also an interesting job. We have to also be handsome and masculine, but at the same time loving and caring, but not too loving and caring, and be outdoorsy and rustic. But don't forget well groomed and smell amazing, be confident, but also be humble, etc etc. This is what media portrays, and it hits hard when you aren't particularly tall, or handsome, or your job is a bit odd (or in my case shrouded in mystery and smothered in secret sauce). Overall I think we all face the same sort of insecurities. We all struggle with how we look, while at the same time have preferences in how our partners look, which may be at odds with each other. We all look in the mirror and obsess about the "flaws" that we see. I think the big difference is that while women are more open to talk about it with a close group of friends, like you described, and they will help lift each other up, while those sorts of discussions don't happen as often in a group of male friends. It's rare for a dude to tell another dude "Man! You're looking hot tonight!" I'm somewhat rambling at this point, my mind has been pretty distracted lately due to, well that doesn't matter, but my main point is. I don't think this is an issue that impacts a particular gender more than others, but I do think the personal recovery options are quite different depending on the gender.

Simple answer is that I have been going to the Rabbit now for close to 2 years. Pre- covid with no masks. I have a good memory when it comes to beautiful women. Tried some of the other Asian spas but nothing compares. Just my 2 cents. As always YMMV,.

Great thread! Big thing you missed, as being self employed we also pay hst on the amount brought in too. On top of income taxes. Bye bye 15% off the top. It's been something I have been having a conversation with clients about. I am still a 250/hr companion, but since I claim I have to pay hst on my services it's 287.50. I still need the 250 to cover expenses and my day to day stuff, so I rounded up to 300 and my accountant does the math from there. Generally marketing that way doesn't make sense to the masses. Thankfully we do have deductions like any other buisness. So things like makeup, rent, office supplies (condom, lube, ect), food, travel, marketing, car and such are able to be written off. Rough numbers from my tax stuff last year; Rent costs last year were 17000, travel costs were 20000, marketing was 6000 (marketing for Toronto is more than here). That was just a few numbers. By the time I finished paying taxes, had all my deductions, I had about 32000 left of what I made last year. Using your numbers @LifeLongJourney for a week's worth of work. That would bring me to 7.69/hour take home. I will say, I have always had a mind set of finding ways to write off things you are already paying for and have a goal. My end goal is to buy a property/house. I needed a track record of min. 2 years as a self employed person to get approved.

No need to apologize - we all started at some point and had to learn - hopefully you can find some help and guidance from the community. Yeah, you're starting out in this hobby in the most challenging time anyone could imagine. I think your comments above answer your question. Bare services, i.e. BBFS, are almost exclusively not appropriate on here, unless in a warning section. Any mention of it can get you blocked by a provider so best not to discuss it with them even if you're just wanting assurance that they don't offer it. I don't imagine you'll find a provider advertising on here who would consider BB service. Here are a few suggestions to help familiarize yourself with the community: 1. Have a thorough review of the 'New to this forum' https://www.lyla.ch/forum/157-new-to-this-things-you-should-know/ 2. If you hover over the image of any poster you'll be able to see when they joined, the number of posts they've made, when they last visited the site and also have a look at all of their content (posts) to develop a sense of what they're like. I use this to determine the sensitivity I set my 'crap detector' at when I'm reading one of their posts. It doesn't take long for your 'spidey sense' to make this step superfluous. 3. Review the online info provided through your local public health unit. This will currently be dominated by covid stuff, but still helpful to read through. Good luck and stay safe.

Had a chance to see this wonderful lady twice in the summer time. Really nice, attractive, upbeat and at no point did anything feel rushed. Location was fine (clean and what not) but parking was kinda a hassle though. With that said, it as well worth the hassle!

He was nominated earlier but not picked so I'd like to nominate Phaedrus for October Member Of The Month. He's one of the CERB members I remember from my early days here, for his thoughtful wise posts. He had something wise to say back then, and he still is posting wise things now. Definitely a positive member of this site and deserve Member Of The Month A Rambling RG

I hope I never have to endure another such post on this site again. You do what you want, and if you want to recycle your own exhaust because of a psy-op (what this is, and that's a fact), go for it. Masks are a joke - end of. Never mind it's hard to eat with a mask on. I mean the damn buffet.

I moved to Ottawa in '83 and the Barefax was open then and had been for awhile. It was located where the Dominion Tavern is now. It moved upstairs in the late 80's I believe. At that time in town there was BareFax, Playmate, Lido (on Portage strip), Gypsy Rose (aka Drummonds) Vendome/Valentino's, Silver Dollar, Habba Babbas (in Westboro), Pink Panther in Aylmer. Shortly there after there came Pigales, Fanny's (originally on Bank) The Den (across St Laurent and south of the NuDen) Barbarella's and one that lasted for a short while whose name I can't remember but it was located on Bank south of Landsdowne at the top of the hill there at Sunnyside. It was in the basement. Rumour has it there once was a small one in Richmond, there was Jason's in Kanata, and Carlsbad Springs. Not sure of the dates on those.

I visited Sasha - Glory Hole from Leolist ad. I've not been very sexually active and a mature guy so this ad was mysterious and intriguing. She has an in call set up downtown in a decent hotel. In her room there is a curtain with an opening. Protocols are listed on her website. I had my self doubts about my ability to climax due to lack of activity, age and medications, well, she coaxed out one of the most cathartic climaxes I've had in quite sometime. She is a very sweet person as well, she was a little concerned and made sure I was cool afterwards. Like i said I had one helluva pleasurable climax. This may not be for everyone but I really enjoyed it. Her oral skills are beyond anything I've ever encountered even when I was a younger dude and more active, pro or otherwise. I would repeat in a heart beat. I'm just going home to check and see if my toenails blew off too.

40! Feeling and looking great
