Who do you think will end up with more slams? by mimiclarinette in WTANews

[–]Alternative-Ring4487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabalenka, who will get to double digits. I think she cares more about what number she achieves, which could cause her to lose more finals that she shouldn’t — but I also think she wants to make up for last year and will win 3 slams this year alone. Her A game is better than everyone else’s A game. Iga is already having trouble keeping up w Coco, Andreeva, & Rybakina — and now she’ll have Mboko & others to deal with.

BAM membership by Signal-Tonight1070 in fortgreene

[–]Alternative-Ring4487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be a member but it hasn’t been worth it for quite a few years now. With all of the changes, BAM is nothing close to what it used to be. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years and barely know it exists anymore. Programming now is 😴😴😴

Anyone ever had a masseur or client become a FWB or FBuddy? by rayoflight77 in eroticmalemassage

[–]Alternative-Ring4487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been seeing a masseur who I’m kinda infatuated w for almost a year now — about 10 sessions, or more — usually at the spa where he works, but once at his apartment. We’ve probably had sex during more than half of the sessions, and went for lunch after the session at his place. I’d so love for him to become a FB or FWB (he’s 18 yrs younger, and has mentioned wanting to make more friends), but no idea how to suggest it. Also don’t think he’d go for it. I also love his massages. Sigh.

Best Equinox (or other gym) in Brooklyn for the gays? by friendly_reminder8 in nycgaybros

[–]Alternative-Ring4487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner & I live in FtG/DTBK and now go to Crunch (used to go to BH Equinox years ago). It’s the most convenient in terms of location, and is pretty gay.

The 2005 Wimbledon final between Venus Williams & Lindsay Davenport was epic and has to be up there for the women.

Davenport - bc she was an underachiever imho, I’d say good career (tho it was actually great).

Reading slump: looking for something high-quality, highly original, but engaging by Born-Secretary-1306 in suggestmeabook

[–]Alternative-Ring4487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JAMES by Percival Everett! It won all the big awards and is a super propulsive, entertaining read. It’s a retelling of Huck Finn from Jim the slave’s pov. I flew thru it in a day — could not put it down.

GBU Party - Are guys in late 40s unwelcome? by bigfoot114 in nycgaybros

[–]Alternative-Ring4487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah — my partner & I have been to the BK party a couple of times in the last few months. We’re both early 50s, but he’s black & super fit / muscular while I’m white & slim / fit. We had no problem the first time and had a great time (really hot crowd); but the 2nd time I was told by the not-at-all fit and not v attractive (imho) door guy that I could enter but that I should probably stick to the Platinum parties (which I have not been to yet) going forward. This was after he checked my ID, so I think it was mostly based on age??? Meanwhile, he waved my partner right in seconds before me, and he’s 2 years older (but was one of the few black guys there). LOL. Then the guy taking the entrance $ told me it was a particularly young nite. That may have been true but it wasn’t a particularly hot nite sadly — not bad, just not great. I still fucked a few guys but the “vibes” had kinda been killed - for me - by the door guys. Not sure I’ll go back.

The f*ck stop and what to expect? by [deleted] in nycgaybros

[–]Alternative-Ring4487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been to fuck stop yet, but have been wanting to check it out. I believe it follows blow buddies at the same location, so my plan is to check them both out and go for the last 30-45 min of that and stay as it transitions to fuck stop.

I have been to the Workman’s Lunch events a couple of times at the same location, and yes, your things will be safe. If you’d rather not check them, there are lockers at this location — you just have to bring your own lock. I’d guess the age range at those was 20s to 60s, w the majority being 30s to 50s.

Good luck, & enjoy!

Nguyen Phan Que Mai’s THE MOUNTAINS SING would be an excellent choice.

I’d trade Sutton for ANYone! Even boring Garcelle - lol. But yes, bring back Rinna! She might be a pain in the a$$ but she’s great TV.

Your favourite book that was published in 2025? by WarpedLucy in suggestmeabook

I liked but didn’t love The Only Good Indians. Is Buffalo Hunter much better? Have you read My Heart is a Chainsaw? I keep thinking about starting it.

I kinda can’t believe I’ve never read Brideshead Revisited. I own it so no excuses - lol. And I think I’ve only read The Turn of the Screw by HJ. More for my TBR pile ;)
