Tre........you are truely a masochist at heart! In my previous life I spent alot and I mean ALOT of time around that specific sort of female and I must tell you this. If you begged and I mean on your knees baby!!......you might be allowed to clean their horses stalls, just before or after you serviced their boyfriends......the guys that climb on those big smelly nasty tempered bovines.

I've really tried to steer away from any sort of personal attacks on this thread, and have been polite to individuals, despite my initial post being an attack on "art-farts" and pretentious hipsters.  Even though you might be less interesting, overall, than TreSwank, or fail to possess his talent for overstatement and provocation, it doesn't mean that you have to be a big meanie. If  I'm not cool enough to hang out with you gooddogbenji, you really don't have to rub it in.  I'm sorry that I drink 40-ounce Steel Reserves as opposed to Remy Martin, and hang out with weirdos, crack whores, downtrodden booze hounds, and the homeless, instead of  "enjoying the finer things in life."  I guess that offering any kind of social critique, pertaining to "snobby", non-talented, affluent artistic types isn't welcome in gooddogbenji's book.  I should just continue to be a cowgirl's sweetheart, and shut my pie-hole.  Thank you for showing me my place, gooddogbenji.

  By the way..........this army sweater is my absolute favorite.  It's a size too tight for me, and it looks SMASHING with a pair of worn-in denims.  Whenever I see my bright and shining countenance in the mirror, while wearing that old hoody, I say to myself "Who is that sexy, sexy, beefcake of a man?", before I skip out the door like a little schoolgirl.

If New London has indeed set itself up as an 'arts mecca' like Asheville, or Memphis, then I wouldn't be surprised if Treswank's assessment were pretty accurate.

It takes a whole lot less for a poser to pretend to be a musician or artist, than it would for them to impress people by dabbling in surgery or physics. (not there there aren't any posers elsewhere, it is just too easy to go the artsy fartsy route, and much less danger of being outed).

Real starving artists only drink armangnac for their consumptive coughs....cognac is for the rich.

This could be the reason that this man solicited you in the first place.

He said he was wearing a wifebeater at the time.  Which, ironically, seems quite appropriate for a man like him.

Ba ZING!

"Is he actually rich?"

"He has $.30 in his account.  Maybe he took it all out for this aquisition."

"Bastard.  Let's give him money, or he'll fire us all!"

I now have about 6 branches of various banks thinking I own them.

So the guy has a cheesy bill board... okay.  I also don't really care if someone is looking for a prostitute ( I really think it should be legalized, why should those bastards not pay taxes when I do?).  You are not a prostitute, hats off, and told him to bugger off... call it a day.  If you start eliminating the legitimacy of people doing things civically based upon their kinks, none of us here would be allowed to do an awful lot... and that would leave what... the suppressed purist zealotry to run things? That should prove fun.

I don't see that as any more  Jesus-complexish than referring to yourself in third person... Swank once did this, etc...

If the man tried to do something illegal then you have a gripe. If he just wanted to find another adult male to have relations with, what's the big deal?

A bisexual or gay man? Let me put on my shock face! It is time to place yourself firmly in the 21st century and come to grips that there are people like this. As repugnant as you might find it, it is no more deplorable than a guy going into a bar and asking the bartender where he can find female attention.

If no laws were broken, there is no call for your tirade.

Oh, I am artistically inclined. I am a musician and a writer.

I agree with Gauge.
If you were 17 or older, your being propositioned by him simply means he found you especially as you described yourself

hot.

Would you be less indignant about his billboard appearance if he asked you to do him without offering you anything?  
I don't like pretencious bastards either, but not because they like sex.  M

Status: offline 		I've never heard of armagnac.......sounds icky. I like pretending to be rich......until the bills come I haven't found any way to pretend those away yet......bugger it all. I have been very well behaved lately, except for the gold hoop earrings I just HAD to have. I am not terribly fond of wife beaters type shirts, except wet ones on lithe sexy young ladies. Annnnnnnnd I still like expensive booze but am sticking to draining the wine cellar (snort.....two shelves in the basement) of some mediocre red wine. Oh, and I don't have to pretend to be artsy, I finally sold my very first print for actual REAL money this last week!!!!! (where's the dancing bananas when its appropriate??)
BUT, the goal is to be able to get the bank to loan me enough money for that great old brick building I covet so that I can have a place of mine-very-own!

Really, it's not evil, but not good, either.  We'll call it the purgatory of drinking.

Status: offline 		I don't have any probably with an elderly man, who is probably lonely because of his age, soliciting sex for money.  The problem that I DID HAVE, was that he solicited a person who gave off no indication of being a man-whore.  If a fella were to say the equivalent of, "You look like you might fuck for money" to you, puella, what would your reaction be?
