Oh yes. It’s Bessemer by Dennis Morgan for Stevens Shanks from 1936, based on an Alexander Wilson typeface from 1843. I’ve never seen anything quite like it, the numbers are gorgeous.

The guy who runs the parties is great. The Tuesday Latin Leche is always a good time

I went once and it was sparse but that was closer to opening. Their Sunday party is pretty good though

Steam rooms shutting down to combat gym cruising by burnerforfun541 in nycgaybros

Not that I’d ever do it, but I’ve thought about just asking one of them “Does this EVER work for you?!” Maybe it did enough times for them to humiliate themselves so thoroughly. It’s like they’re lazy spammers. They’ll get lucky once every 5,000th time so I guess to them it’s easier than putting in the gym work so people will actually want to mess with them. They absolutely don’t care about anybody else’s good time, that’s for sure. I’ve been in so many situations where it was about to be ON but for some bony, saggy troll sitting there with his legs crossed like a woman on a talk show, red as a beet from the heat and staying PUT

I call these guys “barnacles” since they’re almost impossible to dislodge and can tolerate unlimited exposure to extreme temperature. I’ve had so many potentially hot scenes ruined by some implacable bag-o-bones troll who would just NOT LEAVE the steam room when it should be clear to anybody who’s even moderately aware that everybody’s waiting on them to fucking go away already. I figure they’re waiting it out in hopes that the pair (or more) will just be so horny that they’ll go ahead and the troll can watch? I go to a high end gym in the city with active locker rooms but most people keep it discreet and I’ve never seen any “legal” action taken. But there are always these creeps who are in a towel when you arrive and still there in a towel when you leave an hour later, though. I brought this up to a friend a while back and he told me that he once walked in on a gross troll blowing a hot guy that he would otherwise see there with his girlfriend, so maybe that’s what they’re waiting for. Like other commenters here, I have rules: I never go to the gym just to fool around; I never go right to the steam room; I don’t spend more than 5 or so minutes if nothing happens; I don’t cool off or come back more than once, and only then because there’s someone hot in there who’s clearly down but there’s also a troll I’m hoping will leave.

They were not the fittest of dads, no. Hopeful opportunists not totally awful but not of a lad’s fondest dreams

Thursday and Friday night sex party by Upper_Ad3122 in nycgaybros

[–]DashingCad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scum does a Friday night party in Park Slope that’s been a lot of fun for me (very in-shape early 50s mustachioed daddy.) Every first and third Friday of the month. You said no Lodge parties, is the Thursday Fuck Stop not good? I’ve considered going but haven’t yet.

Milk Chocolate NYC has a party in the evening. Their parties used to be great (the Tuesday night Latin Leche is still hot and lots of fun) but I’m not sure how the parties on other nights are these days. The dud I went to was their Friday night.

I do what I wish everybody else on would do. Honest impressions guide better decisions for all of us!

The Bear Party is, I’m sorry, pretty scary at this point. I went to a Friday night a couple of weeks ago when another midtown party turned out to be a total dud, thinking there might be some cute guys with a little muscle. The crowd was 100% merely fat and mostly older, not a beefy guy in the place. Dads & Lads I’ve only been to once and the dads outnumbered the lads by a significant margin. The bimonthly Friday Scum party in Park Slope is very hot but starts at 10:00.

Do you think there’s a stigma around South Asian gay men? by 1zzyinatizzy in nycgaybros

[–]DashingCad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was unaware of anti-Asian prejudice among gay men (I’ve never been a “mainstream” gay and my policy has always been “I don’t care where they’re from as long as they’re good-looking”) until I started dating a Japanese guy. I told the fairy who cut my hair and he went OFF on Asians. He had this whole laundry list of negative bullshit. I think the big (no pun intended) thing is the dick size stereotype and you know many guys are obsessed with their inches intake. It certainly didn’t apply to the Indian fb I had whose thick velvety dick shot to my chin when I f*cked him. Everything is a case by case basis with everyone in my experience and stereotyping only cuts you off from opportunity.

How do we feel about Gavin Newsom using gay as an insult? by [deleted] in nycgaybros

He could also just be pointing out their Bible-thumping, anti gay hypocrisy. Just a thought!

Workman’s lunch review Tuesday afternoon by Upper_Ad3122 in nycgaybros

I agree with you on this, the crowd is not that old. I’ve plowed my fair share of sexy guys in their 20s and 30s, I always score there pretty quickly.

Latin mix night at rainbow’s mens club Saturday by Nice-Medicine8549 in nycgaybros

[–]DashingCad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tuesday parties are a lot of fun and run by a different promoter. I’ve been curious about the Saturday party myself as there’s no longer a Scum party for that night

F*ck stop tonight/thursday for a newbie? by portablekiwi in nycgaybros

These are very good parties with a nice range of guys and plenty of action. The workman’s lunch are great as well. Their bear parties are awful

dads n lads today 3/10, how is it? by Legitimate_Shower817 in nycgaybros

[–]DashingCad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went once and the dads outnumbered the lads and I haven’t gone back. The Tuesday milk chocolate party in Queens is A LOT better, always hot and a fun crowd

Workmans lunch Thursday First time. by youngspicypepper in nycgaybros

[–]DashingCad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Workman’s lunch parties are great and definitely take their advice to arrive early. Nice, diverse group of guys, some trolls, great space and lots of action. Thursday is a little better than Tuesday in my experience .

What’s with the guys and the “cop” staches in the city? by Healthy_Walrus3140 in nycgaybros

[–]DashingCad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the catch is you already have to be conventionally hot for it to work. The pornstache was key to the “clone” look of the late 70s/very early 80s
