What does DL think of this gay couple moving from Brooklyn life to outdoorsy farm life?

Their place is cute.

Self-righteous sociopaths.

Living their dream. Good for them, at 30 something.

OP calls Jews "Yids" on other threads. FF it.

Both fugs. NEXT!

Chilean dude must have a foot long!

R4 I did not, you dumbass.

It was R3, sorry OP

They’re searching for cock and isn’t a rooster.

Good for them, escaping the rigmarole. Sounds like they're good at working with their hands.

Volunteers? Hmmmm.

They should open a gay bnb. Rent out the MIL cottage and for a couple of hundred extra you get the Chilean’s hog, $500 you get both.

I’d go work a week if I was guaranteed of getting spit-roasted at the end of week campfire.

No doubt in my mind, R10.

What they are looking for in volunteers:

We have many years of tasks ahead of us, so there is quite a bit of flexibility in what you could contribute or help with. Furthermore, we are at the start of our adventure, which can be seen in two ways — whoa, there’s a lot to do, but also yay, we essentially have a blank canvas and would welcome your input in shaping our homestead.

The ideal volunteer would have relevant experience, ideally a previous Workaway stay, although that’s not mandatory. We are looking for proactive, independent and caring volunteers. We would ask for 5-hour days (exact hours flexible), 5 days a week (again flexible on the exact days, although most would opt for weekends “off”) and we find ~2 weeks to be the sweet spot as for duration of your stay, although we would be open to shorter/longer-term if it suited everyone's needs.

Know though, that there is no public transportation to/from Asheville or any other nearby city. You would need your own transportation, and/or coordinate with us when we head into town (usually 1-2 times/week).

Here is a list, in no particular order, of some tasks on our to do list. If you’re interested in helping us. Please send an intro, outlining any relevant experience, what you’d hope to learn/gain from helping us, as well as anything that piques your interest from this list below.

Accommodation

We will provide a room in the main home, with a shared full bathroom for volunteers. A bed, linens and basic toiletries will be provided but you need to bring your essentials. We can host a maximum of one couple or two individuals. But no more than two total volunteers at any given time.

Included in your stay is access to the home and kitchen, including basic pantry essentials (e.g., eggs, bread, fruit, nuts, etc.) as well as two meals — lunch and early evening dinner - during the workdays. You would be more than welcome to grocery shop and use the kitchen for yourself any day of the week for breakfast etc. We eat a mixed diet, including meat and fish, although we frequently make vegetarian meals and could certainly accommodate any dietary needs. We love to bake too, so if you’re an all-star in the kitchen, we’d love to hear from you.

I’d like to blow Sebastian.

As overpopulation continues, living in a rural area will become. luxury.

Brooklyn Native here.

I am so sick of this fake bullshit. Brooklyn was NEVER a gay place until recent. VERY recently.

So this thread is a JOKE B

R18 You sound exhausting. No doubt they're heading to the hills to escape the likes of you.

r76 speaks the truth.

The property looks pretty.

The Chores! The Stores!! Fresh Air! Times Square!!

I'm squarely in Camp Eva

The Chilean looks like he knows how to throw a mean fuck.

They're probably looking for a bunch of college twinks to volunteer. How much do you wanna bet female applicants need not apply!

What do I think? I give it two years before they’re bored of the location and bored of each other.

To each his own but I'd kill myself before moving out of a city

The dogs are total dollfaces!

Future sex cult.

Lord knows I’ve just been dying to plow fields, plant hemp and landscape for free, all while getting to eat crappy food and live in the same house as a couple of nuts with a lot of nerve.

What is their Instagram?

Who in the hell do those queens think they are? Essentially, they’re seeking free labor, and they’ve packaged this like they’re doing you a favor. Oh yes, they’ll deign a nice bedroom and you’ll be fed two meals a day.

It’s all in service to the queens who are likely too cheap and/or in a financial bind to pay for labor. You’ll be welcome to use the kitchen, which means you’ll be burdened with cooking the promised two meals a day. They won’t prepare breakfast and they don’t offer transportation! They even require a resume and a statement of interest.

In essence, you are PAYING them so you can volunteer your free labor. Their gall is astounding!

Their names are Will and Sebastian according to review on the site.

At least Jim Jones had charisma!

I wonder how much they bought that property for. I hope they're all in it for the long haul because it seems like it probably cost a pretty penny for that much land.

All things aside, the U.S. and the Americas in general have some really beautiful landscape.

There’s some popularity to these programs, where you get to travel for next to nothing in exchange for in-kind services. There are quite a few volunteer programs that operate this way.

It’s a grown up work-study plan.

Are they actually charging people, or just looking for volunteers? I don't understand what their long-term goal is. Getting their house renovated? Do they expect to be self-sustaining?

R37, I don't believe they're charging people. They essentially offer free room, board, and meals in exchange for labor. Like R36, these types of programs are popular with traveling hippie types.

They want volunteers, i.e., slaves. Two acres of tillable land isn't going to get them much and they're going to find lots of other people who are trying to get by on multiple part-time jobs.

Like R36 said*

I saw on this site another example of a gay couple doing something vaguely similar. Of course, this one is a gay guesthouse and it's in the south of France...

They want sex slaves.

[quote] They want volunteers, i.e., slaves. Two acres of tillable land isn't going to get them much and they're going to find lots of other people who are trying to get by on multiple part-time jobs.

Unless they are independently wealthy. They are going to go broke. How long before their ready to murder each other?

One time about 15 years ago there was a hot daddy with a huge huge cock who advertised a B&B room in his apartment in Lucerne Switzerland. This was on a gay cruising site. I tried to hook up with him but I was deemed too old in my late 30s. His meat was strictly absolutely ONLY for twinks. I had a conference in his town and booked his room, using a different name than mind on the sex site. I got that donkey dick twice. But I paid for it because he still charged me the fair (modest) rent for the room.

I think I'd be more worried about asking opinions of a bunch of people on a world wide gay gossip forum than moving to a farm

In the past I've spent hours on that website. There is something for everyone from 1 day to a year. Mostly, it's young, rich people with multiple homes and lofty ideals. Lots of people just like these guys, all over the world. Some just want a reliable person to answer their phone and mail and mist the orchids 3x a day. Many are BNB's in progress. Really, any skill or hobby you have, someone will let you stay in their house and do it. I remember 1 guy with a huge house on a Greek Island who just wanted a cat-sitter for a month. That would have been sweet.

The Chilean is hot, the white guy has inheritance money.

That place looks like a mosquito sanctuary.

Look at their psuedo-baseball caps - so common.

They'll both be fat hogs by next Christmas.

The French gay guesthouse sounds sweet! Is that code for gay orgy house?

I hope those city boys know how backbreaking and tough farm life can be.

Two years max.

I think these guys were on House Hunters a while back....?

[quote] I think these guys were on House Hunters a while back....?

And now they're slave hunting?

Let me guess whichever one of you is the woman in the relationship is also Hungarian.

I would like to place my own advertisement. "Pretentious 50 plus year old who looks 33 would like to offer someone the experience of being his Butler/Houseman. Accommodations are a 7 by 9 foot room off of a needs to be renovated kitchen in an Art Deco classic 6 on the Upper West Side with side Central Park Views. You will have the experience of serving many interesting people who also look to be in their mid to late 30's though some of them were swing dancers in the original Broadway Production of West Side Story. You will hone your skills learning to properly wash clothing including the highly valued art of removing personal stains. You will appreciate the fine quality of my bed linens by washing them everyday, more if there are guests or accidents. You will have the experience of answering my door, shopping for my food, driving my Audi A8 and masturbating in the corner during my cocktail parties. Extensive knowledge of Sondheim and the performance of The Heimlich maneuver a must." Please respond to "Anonymous, Apartment 4K, 300 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024

You seem fun! I’m rooting for you!

This will end in tears in less than a year.

Big whoop.

This will end in murder-suicide.

termites. bedbugs.

I just adore a penthouse view!

at least it's definitely an upgrade from brooklyn!

OP, you lost me at Blue Ridge Mountains.

They do get points for being under 40 and being able to survive without WiFi and cell coverage.

I’ve been to that area and wouldn’t want to live there.

Queen Acres

Honestly, r55, somebody would probably do it for free room and board in your UWS apartment, even if the spare room is only 7 x 9.

[quote] I am so sick of this fake bullshit. Brooklyn was NEVER a gay place until recent. VERY recently.

Brooklyn has been pretty gay for at least 20 years now. But what's this got to do with anything, anyway? These guys are looking for free labor in North Carolina, not promoting the gayness of BK.

Their place is going to end up being Brokebottom mountain.

R30: As far as I can see, they're not on Insta.

OMG, they are precious! Which one shoots farther?

They’re laying the foundation for a reality show.

Let’s assume they’ll have a contract for you to sign. It’ll be iron clad in their favor, of course. If a tree falls on you, and you’re paralyzed, they might evade financial responsibility. You’ll have to sue them.

Somehow, I can see those two selfish queens, sitting on their asses, barking orders, while others do the labor.

This site, WorkAway, is popular with broke/adventurous, young international travelers looking to roam around other countries for a pittance. Youth hostel crowd on a shoestring. I did something similar when I was that age, but it was called WWOOFing then. They probably have a good pool of young hippie 20something guys from which to choose from..

When it comes to the grunt work, one or both queens might suddenly have a meeting, a conference call, or an appointment. They’ll only be a few minutes to a half hour, but will disappear until sunset or when almost all the work was done for the day.

[quote]we’re still connected to a busy city,

oh my sides, an hour to the "busy city" of Asheville, with no public transport. ashville is mellow, barely a city and "busy" it ain't.

I wonder what their former jobs were in Brooklyn.

baristas

Of the two, I bet Sebastian does most of the heavy lifting.

For those of you saying Brooklyn just recently became gay, Truman Capote lived in Brooklyn in the 1950s and ‘60s. Way before that, Walt Whitman lived in Brooklyn - from the 1820s to the 1860s. Brooklyn has been gay since before the word gay was used that way. There was an amazing exhibit not long ago at the Brooklyn Historical Society about gay life on the Brooklyn waterfront in the 19th century.

damn, how gayer could it have been on Middagh St. during WWII?

A review of February House: The Story of W. H. Auden, Carson McCullers, Jane and Paul Bowles, Benjamin Britten, and Gypsy Rose Lee, Under One Roof In Wartime America by Sherill Tippins

I need to see shirtless pics of both before making a complete decision.

I don't know why I read so much of their listing. There was more but after I read this I was done.

[quote]Phone service is extremely unreliable on property. Depending on your luck, and where you’re standing in the house, sometimes Verizon users will catch a bar or two, but it’s best to expect NO cell service. We do have a landline with free calls in the US, Canada and Mexico that you’re welcome to use any time.

[quote]About the internet, we have satellite internet, which works on an extremely limited data plan so we try to be smart with our usage (i.e., no downloading, streaming or video calls). There is a computer available that you’re welcome to use to check emails and do some googling on as needed.

How do they stream porn and Netflix with such limited internet?

They create their own porn with these unpaid volunteers, Rose.

Is this the mother in law studio?

A lot of city people try out the rural life for a few years, only to realize it's not for them after a few short years. I'm not saying this will happen with this couple, but it's possible.

They lost me at "brand building" on their list of tasks they wish to see performed for free. What, exactly is there brand?

"We found out that a city isn't required to feed our thirst. Thank you internet!"

Hello mosquitos!

Which one is the top?

What breed of dog are the ones in the photo?

R83. That sounds like my idea of hell. And I'm not even young. Good luck to them getting anyone young, hale and hearty to stay there with no internet or cell service......AND do their grunt work. What is there to see and do in that isolated area that anyone would want to visit at all, let alone pay for the privilege with back breaking work?

Also, good luck finding skilled labor. If they think they will get qualified contractors to renovate that dump for free, they are in for a rude awakening. Their "guests" will be spoiled millennial dreamers with little experience and even less work ethic. They'll sleep in, wander off after an hour of work and fake illness.

Great Pyrenees.

You need to be in a desirable location r74. It would be one thing if they were close to Asheville but they are still an HOUR away. I don't know who is going want to be their slave in exchange for being able to stay there.

Their best bet is to find some poor gayby who would do it for the sex.

Really envious. I would love to do that. Hopefully will someday.

You can do it right now r96, they are desperately looking for someone to help them.

In related news, the dogs have set up a separate GoFundMe to help rehome them back to Brooklyn!

You misunderstand R97, I want to do what they are doing, not go and work for them. The idea of living in a rural location with plenty of land and having lots of animals around and minimal human interaction appeals to me more and more.

It would be a deal breaker for me to not have amazing internet though. I would need to be able to stream TV and movies, and use it for gaming and Skype calls with friends and relatives. I also don't think I'd do it in the UK - the weather isn't consistently good enough.

I would also need a home gym though - fuck the yoga studio, bring in the weights, a rack, a few machines and I'm set.

R98 I would imagine the dogs are MUCH happier in that environment where they have loads of space to run around and explore than in a busy, dirty, polluted and noisy city.

Trees do grow in Brooklyn, especially at the big, wonderful park beloved by Brooklyn dogs, especially my Sophie.

[quote] Trees do grow in Brooklyn, especially at the big, wonderful park beloved by Brooklyn dogs, especially my Sophie.

That's not a very nice way to refer to your wife, Mr. Sal Petrillo.

[Quote]It would be a deal breaker for me to not have amazing internet though

" I want rural life, with the creature comforts for urban life".

You don't get amazing internet in the middle of nowhere, not in America at least. That's part of what it means to to choose a rural life.

I believe this photo settles the question over which one is the top and which one is the bottom.

[quote]they are desperately looking for someone to help them.

I know people who moved to upstate NY and did the same thing they are lonely and desperate for company and intellectual stimulation. These guys are probably in the same situation.

R103 I don't agree that rural life equals middle of nowhere. There are plenty of places near where I live currently that I would consider to be rural but are not the middle of nowhere, and it should be possible to still have decent internet. Granted, that may not be the case in Bumfuck, USA where there really is NOTHING around.

As if there was ever any doubt, R104.

Been there, done that.

They're only asking for 5 hours of work per day? It takes a lot more than that to operate a farm, even a hobby farm. Especially since you know that these two will be sitting on their asses architecting their brand or whathaveyou and not doing any farm work.

Trust me, I'm the descendant of farm peasants.

They’re not from Brooklyn. They lived in Brooklyn like every other douchebag.

No one cares .

R110 Exactly! Whenever someone tells me they’re “from Brooklyn” , I just ask them “so, where did you grow up?” Or “so where did you live before he moved to Brooklyn?” Tee-hee

[quote]I don't agree that rural life equals middle of nowhere. There are plenty of places near where I live currently that I would consider to be rural but are not the middle of nowhere

Yup, near where I live in Bucks County, PA, there are a lot of rural spaces and you are still only an hour from Philly and 1.5 hrs from NYC. A friend of mine has 10 acres. When you're there it 'feels' like the middle of no where, but it really isn't. It just comes down to how much land you have and how far away you are from neighbors and major roads/highways.

R109, to be fair, if they asked for more hours of work, they'd be unlikely to get very many volunteers.

R95, are they near the Appalachian Trail? If so, maybe they get some AT thru-hikers in that area, looking for a respite. Sorry, my knowledge of the geography of this area is lacking.

Top on the right.

Eager bottom on the left.

Are they trying to get murdered?

R117, is the area they live in particularly dangerous?

^It isn't the area. It's the fact that they are inviting vagrants into their home. How many elder gays have to get murdered by grifting, drug addict twinks before they learn.

Why do two boring fugs have such a long thread??

Because the very nerve of them. They picked up Chutzpah in Brooklyn.

Might be an interesting concept for a gay porn studio.

[quote] Why do two boring fugs have such a long thread??

Because DL's too dumb to figure out that this is just how Workaway typically works and no one's forcing you to sign up if it's not your thing. Also, Dlers are always envious and bitter about any gay man who might be having a more interesting or successful life than they are, and anyone at all who seems to be "getting away with" something.

Guess they never saw “Deliverance”

R119, point taken. But thirties is eldergay? Oh, no!
