    Costumes is a nice choice of word because what most of those guys are wearing isn't fashionable.
     
    It looks like they all shopped at the clearance rack of an International Male

    I have no problem with guys writing choppy copy who don't speak English as their first language.
     
    That being said, even if you have stunning photos, it speaks highly of your ability to communicate with a potential client and will likely cut out a large portion of business. A higher-end/longer-term clientele are wanting the total package. They don't want to go on a trip with someone who they'll struggle to connect with.
     
    Ultimately, a good escort's job is to make life easier for someone when you're with them.
     
    I shouldn't have to use Google Translate to figure out that you want me to fuck you harder.

    LOL, that was MY thought exactly... well since they spend most of their time out of clothes, "fash-shon" aint their strong suit... But I didnt mind the tight and bulge aspect, but the choices were just so all over the place..
     
    You would never guess they ALL were going to the SAME event....

    It's easy to be brave when you're a faceless screen name. This board proves that on a daily basis.
     
    ... And why am I hearing Joe Pesci from Goodfellas in my head reading that last line?

    Just to be clear: you're sorta too shy to reach out to him, but not to shy to pronounce how he should be doing his job.
     

     
    Perhaps he prefers profiles with information. But I'm sure the collective wisdom of the board knows better than any stoopid hooker does.

    I have a different view when I see disappointment regarding gentrification.
     
    Sure, I get a little sad. Winsome. Nostalgic. Wonder a little about what's lost as neighborhoods evolve. And recognize that money plays a major role in whats happening.
     
    But isn't it also evidence of increased societal acceptance? We live in a market economy... if the gay bars were all thriving, they wouldn't get pushed out.
     
    My age cohort needed safe places - that often meant separate. If younger gays dont need gay neighborhoods, or bars, or cruises... isn't that a sign of progress? If a young gay guy can go out to a bar with buddies, gay and straight, and he's just as comfortable approaching a guy in the bar as his buddy would be approaching a woman... isnt that reason for hope? If not proof of total success, at least indication things are getting better?
     
    Not all assimilation is bad. Its the American story... the ghettos and neighborhoods based on ethnic and religious populations transition, and eventually become more heterogenous. The trick is to prevent all aspects of cultural, or group, identity from disappearing entirely.
     
    The closing line of that article states ".....may be becoming a place not meant for the LGBTQ community anymore." Its not all bad if that means LGBTQ folk dont feel a need for a place to congregate, whether to live or play.

    This is why we probably shouldn't talk about what people spend per year: It only dissolves into people having to qualify their spending habits.
     
    Bottom line: It's your money. Don't ever apologize for spending it.

    - How do you know which fraternity you would like to become a member of? Is it just that you ask to the fraternity which your father belonged? For those whose father was not in college, it is just word of mouth, or do you get in by making friends with those who are already in?
     
    Family plays a huge role with many guys and their choice of frat. Mine did. All of the guys in my family have belonged to the same fraternity.
     
    - What if you start college and you are not connected, but somehow you manage to get into a fraternity, You just move in the frat house and abandon your previous residence?
     
    Depends on the campus, their housing rules, etc. Some campuses have social frats, but no actual frat houses. Many times in these situations, the frat simply lives in the same area, same apartment complex.
     
    - If you are going to live in the fraternity house, you have to pay rent?
     
    Chapter houses have rent, as well as national/local dues. It's like belonging to a country club in some ways: You just never stop shelling out money. Even if you don't live at the chapter house, you still have to pay frat dues (but not rent).
     
    - Once you leave college, are you still a member for life? If yes, does it come with perks or obligations? Do you keep having a say on who joins?
     
    Yes, you are a member for life. Much like getting a call from your alma mater for donations, you can expect the national frat to call periodically for money. You're not obligated.
     
    - I read that some fraternities require a minimum of academic achievement to enter or stay in the fraternity, so if you go below the minimum, you have to leave the residence and find another place to live?
     
    Yes... And that's tightening up even more so with social frats being put under a microscope lately
     
    - Do you get your own room in the residence? Your own bathroom? How luxurious living is it?
     
    It all depends on the house and its layout. New members will likely share a bathroom (jack & jill style or communal). Expect a roommate as well. Some houses can be quite nice, depending on how much work their boosters do. Some of the nicest sorority houses I've seen are on the UT Austin campus.

    Perhaps this is all an illusion being conjured upon the opium filled dreams of an all powerful yet capricious god who is, at the core if it, opposed to linear thought and the Cyrillic alphabet.
     
    Or maybe we're just not owed an explanation.
