The only reason I chose not to attend was I got a request from my granddaughter to help with an after school project on that same day. I was disappointed I could not attend. Please do not hold that against me. My thoughts for this occasion are a guy only get together. Could be a private residence. Could be a local neighborhood tavern, especially the first time. Nothing big, certainly nothing formal. Like I said I have seen posts from certain guys that lead me to believe we have a lot in common. I think have figured out several who live in the Springs. Hoping to determine a few more. Guess it is time to quit just posting and start PMing and see who is interested. And this goes hand in hand with most Tides recent post. We miss opportunities to make new friends by never moving beyond the social media screen. If you do it down here in the Springs, count me in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2018 We go to great lengths (most do anyway) to conceal our "hobby" activities and prevent our handles etc. here from getting connected to real life. And then some propose to get together in real world and party. And trust the whole collective of total strangers to be discrete with knowledge of who you are and what you participate in. See post above regarding drunken convo. And the also referenced mixed company events with the potential for jealousy, competition, hurt feelings etc. And another thread about someone here spoofing calls to harass and threaten. No thanks, pass. This is a one on one (maybe two) adventure for me, not a group exercise. Each to their own, not for me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you have a very recognizable face, the chances of anyone knowing who you are in small group is slim to none. Barring that, not sharing personal information, real names, phone numbers, wearing a minimum of disguises and/or allowing photos will generally lead to an anonymous interaction. If you come upon each other after the fact; i.e. through business or significant others, there's usually a mutual benefit to not 'outing' the other person. ymmv. I probably wouldn't attend but it would be interesting to hear about the discussions. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I do not get what possible point there would be to what you describe. The point of getting together "with the guys" is to talk about all manner of shit, knock a few back, have a few laughs. Sooner or later it becomes personal (friends and shit) and lots of stuff gets shared. Lots of bragging tends to happen. But choosing who to do that with on the basis of being regulars on an escort board, is not a good idea Things that should be discreet get passed around - asking for trouble.

I'm a pretty social guy and like to get together "with the boys" for a beer (or 10), but as much as I would like to meet some of the guys here, I'd probably pass. For all the reasons above, it just seems too risky for me. 9 hours ago, M477 said: Unless you have a very recognizable face, the chances of anyone knowing who you are in small group is slim to none.

Posted December 16, 2018 I completely understand this is not for everyone. Hell maybe no one. I enjoy thinking outside the box. Just never know what might become of reaching out. Probably means we ain't eating chili either. Oh well. Hey, ya know what we can still donate socks!!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 17, 2018 Though I am not a drinker or a golfer (anymore), I am fine with get togethers with folks who share common interests. I've met some interesting people and had some fun times with folks who are in this hobby...both ladies and gents. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
