Yeah, by and large someone moving away is a bad sign, and I don’t see what’s left for these two to talk about, ever. The only real question is why did LW’s girlfriend not break up with him when she moved? But honestly, that seems like something that won’t ever be answered .

Don’t forget the fact that she’s gaslighting him and threatened to have him arrested! Even in the very unlikely event that there were innocent explanations for all of this, any considerate human being would have to admit that, from the outside, the situation is objectively suspicious. If you’re not a third shift EMT…
Wanting to get fucked by the guys in Bad Company is a Rock and Roll Fantasy.
I don’t have anything to cumblebrag, but a lot to be cumbarrassed about
I’m surprised Dan didn’t address this as well. EVERYONE has an asshole, not just gay men.
Getting anal isn’t a gay fantasy, wanting a guy to fuck you in the arse is a gay fantasy.
The MLM piece makes sense. I know a couple who has a fairly successful wellness-related one and seem to hold substantial sway over the people in it. If they wanted to exercise that power in other ways I expect they could.
I also like to think I wouldn’t fall for that sort of thing, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. Really would depend on who specifically tries to get to me, and certainly on the timing. Many of us have moments of weakness, of vulnerability, when our bullshit detectors malfunction, maybe due to general system overload,…
I did a deep dive after getting frustrated with The Vow and everything is really light on the early years. From what I can piece together Keith had experience running his Consumer Buyline MLM, the structure of which kinda made the skeleton of Executive Success Program.
I think this particular cult attracted people with money who were fearful that their wealth was not the result of talent or having earned it. That’s why there were heiresses and actors - there is talent behind good acting, but many people find success without being very good, and your ability to work is linked to…
On The Vow, Vicente tells us how Rainiere said “I invented my own new math!” and then never saw it or learned anything about it, just took it on face value that he came up with some new math. The bogus science claims were a feature, not a bug, sorting out the people who were actually too smart to fall for their hokum.
I think I like the take from Robert Evans, who covers a lot of evil people, is that we all have weaknesses that we might not even be aware of and there is potentially some kind of scam that could exploit that.
The problem is it sounds like he still wants women in their 20s or maybe 30s- if they’re giving him “nice old man” looks I doubt they’re close to his age. The other horny old men who actually date women their age are doing great- but yeah no you’re going to have a hard time pull 27 year olds or even 40 year olds in…
I think his problem is probably that he’s not looking at his own age group/close to it. It’s like the guy I overheard in college who was, at 20, balding and moderately overweight, but who, when told that so-and-so might be into him, made some disparaging comment about her being a “six, tops.” Yeah, so are you, dude. P…
I remember reading that in retirement communities, an 80-year-old with a working penis is often vastly outnumbered by older women who’d still like to get it on (so much so, that the article was about STI outbreaks in retirement communities). This is less because of the rarity of working senior citizen penises than…
This reminds me of the old ‘70s TV trope of older single detectives (Mannix, Canon, Barnaby Jones, etc.) who always had “nieces” dropping in. I’ve always thought it was mostly a mechanism to try and make old actors who were radio and vaudeville stars seem hip and relevant in the TV age.
It’s not in the top ten priorities for equality, but I really think just normalizing the odd same sex encounter for straight people the way most gay people have had participated in at least some kind of hetero activity would help everybody. It would reduce the gay panic that’s still prevalent in lot of the country,…
This is pretty much the most eloquent summation of the election possible.
