So, shall we talk about dating? I’ve got a slightly different perspective on it these days. Let me start with I’m an attractive (I’m told hot), single, stylish, white (does it matter?), educated professional earning six figures; a property owner, world traveler; multi-lingual (yes, in all the ways you would hope for), free-spirited; a physically … Continue reading A gilf is born
Over the past couple of years and some change, or basically the amount of time this men's site has been up and running, I've done virtually fuck all to promote it. I did this, or didn't as a better way of saying it, for a few reasons, not the least of which it was hugely … Continue reading Look!
I'd like to introduce you all to John. He is the Founder and CEO of his own boutique wealth management firm that specializes in liquidity-event planning and holistic, comprehensive financial planning. That's a lot of words we're gonna get into in just a sec and in future pieces, but first: John is originally from a small … Continue reading Meet John
It was around the start of Lent, and after about a week of being passed out in the hospital, when a very dear homie of mine finally came to. It was like this really intense, can't-seem-to-wake-up-fully-from-his-fucking-life-threatening nap more than any kind of "coma." "He can't fully wake up," a sister's update-text read. What I do … Continue reading My one

It is widely known that people brought here during the trans-Atlantic slave trade brought with them many traditions that they associated … Continue reading Let’s eat
On the eve of this young man's 17th birthday, he and I go to the gym to train. We'd very recently turned a nice corner, which means he called me up to train instead of the other way around. That's right, this kid had some real dick moments this past year, and it was hard … Continue reading Another birthday
You of course know this already I'm having this conversation with a guy who just recently moved into my neighbors' rental across the street. He swings by in his monogrammed bath robe, a gentlemanly pipe jutting out his mouth, and I'm thinking, Shit, maybe this is how Nigerian dudes say hello the second time. The … Continue reading Happy belated birthday
I didn't have a housewarming party. I just figured if someone came over, knowing it was a new house I'd bought, they would just do the natural thing and bring something to help christen the joint: toaster, a microwave, basket hamper, a toilet brush; shit, I don't know, what do you get for moving into … Continue reading In thanksgiving
A few times this past year I was faced with a question that felt like something frothy-toothed and unsettling standing over me. It even happened on a few dates I went on. This one time I got into it pretty hot and heavy with a thirty- something African-American woman. Jeezus, she smelled good too. Like … Continue reading Year in review #2
I'd like to introduce you all, very briefly, to another Conversation. This one comes in the wake of a piece I wrote a while back dealing, broadly, with gay issues. A gentleman, David, submitted a response to the piece, but rather than publish it right away, I thought I'd try and sweet talk him into … Continue reading Pasta Bolognese
