When I said trans men, I meant FTM. For me personally, breasts are a huge turn off, and I appreciate the often buffed physiques of trans men.

As part of our group travel for our culture-experiencing group, we attended a purification ceremony and aura reading by a Brahmin Hindu priest here in Bali. He walked around and pondered my husband, pronouncing that he was a "charmer of the ladies" 😁, then walked around me (who was wearing, in addition to my sarong, some Amazon Basics shorts and an unbranded plain green T-shirt) that I was a "successful businessman." It took quite an effort on my part to keep a straight face, instead of rolling on the floor laughing. He said my aura was "orange," implying a creative personality. In reality, I'm an entirely left-brained person, who's very good at analysis and problem solving, but devoid of creativity. He pronounced another guest, who has described herself as a non-wealthy woman, as a woman of great means. After he was gone, she laughed along with us at how wrong the priest was. She's also atheist (from NSW, Australia). Our guide, a Muslim, said that the man may have been so wrong because he'd just come a cremation ceremony and may have been tired. On our way back from the ceremony, he could see most of the group chuckling.

Sex with trans men is fantastic (especially if you're.a top). The trans gay men I've met haven't had bottom surgery.

Graham was probably all of those, and certainly the last two, since he hired my husband a good decade ago.

These people are religious in name only. As most people on this forum know, I'm atheist, but many have called Trump the Antichrist, and the description fits.

Yes, that, and I also suspect that most escorts wouldn't ask for their full price if they know they're going on a luxury cruise. Unfortunately, getting a suite on an Atlantis cruise seems to be almost impossible, but one can book a decent-sized balcony cabin easily enough.

I was a little concerned about that prior to our Atlantis sailing in the Caribbean last winter. I was afraid of being met with Fire Island Pines snootiness and cool behavior. I was happily surprised that even very younger men were very friendly (albeit aware of my marital status), and some downright physically welcoming (i.e. kisses on the cheeks or even lips--in my husband's presence). I'm solidly in my 60s. If you try it out, you may be pleasantly surprised. I suppose you can increase your odds of meeting other hot men by bringing a hot guy with you.😁 Good luck!

No, not Trump (unfortunately), but another one who was way up there on my Evil Queens list. Senator Lindsey Graham finally kicked the bucket.

https://spectator.com/article/the-vulgarity-of-the-swift-kelce-wedding/?edition=us "...Those who, like me, have always been fans of both her and her music had hopes that her wedding to Kelce would not become the usual hideous exercise in celebrity tackiness. Boy, was I wrong. While the Swift-Kelces, as they may now refer to themselves, have every right to celebrate the happiest day of their lives in whatever style they see fit, the mega-ceremony that was held in New York’s Madison Square Garden last weekend was the last word in empty glitz and excess... There were so many things about the Swift-Kelce wedding that were in poor taste that it’s hard to know where to begin. The cringeworthy moment where screens lit up outside MSG declaring “JUST&T MARRIED!” Spare us. The presence of once-popular, now-declined comedian Lena Dunham, who raised eyebrows by making a speech that declared that Kelce’s celebrated football career was nothing more than “straight gays enacting gay porn.” ..."

Ecstasy can increase sexual desire, and certainly friendliness, in many people. It does tend to make it more difficult to obtain erections. It's definitely illegal, dangerous, and can give you a heart attack (especially elderly and +++ if you smoke nicotine).

I agree. I don't know about what happened with Bezo's wedding, but T&T did block off some major vehicle arteries in midtown Manhattan for at least one day. In addition to their celebrity, the fact that they inconvenienced hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people on a major holiday (the USA's 250th birthday) certainly invites comment. I asked the friend who drove us to the airport this evening "What do you think of Taylor Swift's wedding" on the way down to the airport. His answer "Disgusting! They're completely out of touch!" (I hadn't yet voiced my opinion). Of course, no one is suggesting that they can't spend their money the way they want to, obviously. Their marriage was very in-your-face, however, and invited comment. I'm not sure I'd quite call their marriage "disgusting," but I do believe it was in very poor taste.

You may speak for yourself. Trump is a smooth talker who's scammed countless people. He said a lot of BS that many people wanted to believe, and too many bought the snake oil. Now he's scammed billions of dollars at the expense of his gullible fans. I was not one of them, and refuse to be pigeon-holed with them on account of my nationality. I, for one, can put aside prejudices, and judge people as individuals, rather than compartmentalizing them according to their passports.

These days, it seems that TV shows are saving themselves a few thousand dollars by playing AI songs instead of real hits. Maybe it would be smarter to let artists let their music be heard on the TV shows, for the free exposure, probably leading to more people downloading their songs on Spotify and so on. The lyrics always seem to be pretty dumb. I heard one on the Netflix series Elite, and the lyrics went "Don't wake the birds and the bees before you shake the trees" 🙄. Of course, AI thinks it's only a matter of time before AI is able to write good songs, because when I asked it, I got this response: "While AI music has conquered digital sales, a song written solely by AI has yet to reach the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100—which measures broader radio airplay and streaming—though analysts predict it is only a matter of time before it happens." 😄

First of all, I'm not gender-fluid or non-binary. My pronouns are he/him. Although if you wish, you may call me by the royal "we/they." Second of all, YOU are the one who pretended to know how I travel (and no, as a matter of fact, you didn't know what you're talking about, again). Facts matter, although you seem to believe imagination is just as important.

I get treated well because I respect the locals, most often even speaking the local language to some extent. You don't have the slightest idea of who I am. I try to dress and act inconspicuously. I never wear expensive designer clothes, and am often clad in "Amazon Basics" apparel. My only splurges are business class air travel. Generally, I am respected for my modest and kind behavior when I travel. Most importantly, I don't act like a know-it-all who really has no idea what he's talking about.

Expressing support for England over Mexico could get you killed here in Los Angeles.

Highly immature thinking. Luckily, when we travel, most people treat us like the individuals we are. Hopefully we don't run into any numskulls during our travels.

This type of sentiment breeds stereotyping, hatred of groups, and genocide. It refuses to acknowledge that while we may have a certain nationality, we are not all the same as our leaders. Just because Hamas members engage in terrorism, doesn't mean all Palestinians are bad, much less that they all bear responsibility and/or should be exterminated. When I travel abroad, I don't want to be branded for Trump's actions, especially since I never voted for him, and despise almost everything for which he stands. Let's respect individuality. I don't hate all Russians just because I hate Putin, nor all Iranians just because I hate their leaders. I treat people as individuals.

While I share your disgust for Don the Con, and also admit that I'd cheer his demise, calling for actively killing him is in poor taste (and something Trumplethinskin might do)--as is T&T's tacky wedding. You have every right to criticize the Gaslighter-in-Chief, since he's a public figure. When it comes to being a hypocrite, look at yourself. I have the same right to criticize Swift's grandstanding as you (and I) have to criticize the similar behavior by Don-anne the Vulgarian. And I wasn't bragging about my wedding, but rather musing that I was able to find three caterers offering better food at a lower price than the one recommended by our wedding planners.

You always have an issue with me, no matter how irrational. I could say that snow is cold, and you'd have an issue with it. While Bezos' wedding cost was similar to hers, it was done more privately, and not grandstanding on America's 250th birthday. He's also the 3rd richest person on the planet and regularly gives oodles more to charity than Taylor Swift has. She only gave a large amount this year, and that's because I'm sure plenty of people were ready to be shocked at how much more she spent on her wedding than what she regularly spends on charity (10 times), and would be even more shocked had she not been generous this year. As for Bezos: AI Overview: Jeff Bezos does not donate a fixed annual amount, but his actual charitable disbursements average between $300 million and $500 million per year. And if we look at another man with much greater means than T&T: AI Overview: Bill Gates' 1994 wedding to Melinda French on the Hawaiian island of Lanai was estimated to cost around $1 million. To maintain complete privacy for the 130 guests, Gates famously bought out every hotel room on the island and chartered all available helicopters in the region. AI Overview: $1 million in 1994 is worth approximately $2,261,288.80 today. The fact of the matter is that my wedding expenses were on par with what average couples in the county I live in are paying. To think of that sum as ostentatious is so detached from reality as to be delusional (although I'm pretty sure you don't actually think that, but are just trying to be argumentative, with ridiculous statements, as usual). And the wedding was not about "sharing" with her fans. In fact, it was never even announced publicly, although everyone figured it out--as they were blocked off from approaching the venue.
