His mouth scares me.

That beard stubble scares me; think of barber's rash after a snog with Joel Simkhai... Worse think of my Pratesi or Frette sheets and pillow cases, that stubble looks like sandpaper, will shred things to bits.

You don't swipe on Grindr

Another Israeli Jew making a killing in USA. Don't know about elsewhere but here in NYC they've got megalomania, one can't get away from them.

What's the sizemeat situatia?

JS looks like the runt of litter much smaller than his two (also gay) brothers. So sizemeat may not be what you're expecting.

Then again many Jewish men are rather well endowed, so there's quite a range .

One of JS's brothers and husband.

How do you have all gay brothers?

[quote]That do be a whole lot of money from arranging hook-ups.

He also arranged for a lot of murders and killings and seroconversions. I lot of people would still be alive if it weren’t for him inventing Grindr. Hope he enjoys that blood money.

Why do I get the feeling that R10 is the guy whose profile has a photo clearly taken in the 90s, who constantly messages "Hi" and never gets the hint?

I wonder if Diabolique used Grindr? Reports carefully avoid mentioning it.

If he's hosting, I'm game to travel.

You can have him, too puny and scrawny for my tastes. In fact looks downright unhealthy...

I assume he manscapes his body to a fair-the-well. Any man with a beard like he has would surely have an equally hairy body. He must keep vats of body wax at the ready.

Fifteen replies and no one’s asked the really important question? Does he get a park key for that property? If so I’d fuck him.

I knew this project/building seemed familiar because of street address. Sat here racking my brains at where anywhere near Gramercy Park proper a new high rise went up recently. There was nothing on Park Avenue South, or any of the streets that are bisected by park either...

It is about a block or so east of Gramercy Park between Third and Second avenues. More to the point property is the site of former Cabrini Medical center that went bankrupt back in 2008. Sloan-Kettering bought the property with ideas of opening some sort of ambulatory or otherwise expansion of their cancer services, but soon decided it wasn't a good fit. Property was too far from their main UES campus and wanted patients and staff to have faster access for various reasons. Making good money SK sold off the property to developers.

Cabrini Medical Center occupied lots 209-225 East 19th Street. This "Towers at Gramercy Park" used 215 East 19th street as main address.

R15-I'm HAIRY and I don't wax.

Ugh. All those types are the same as if from a cookie jar — variations on Michael Lucas. They’re all utterly driven, utterly neurotic, utterly exhausting, and smell of stale sweat and existential despair. They wouldn’t know to be genuinely happy and relaxed if you shot them up with curare and opium.

Are there any bargain units in the building? And what street will our entrance be on?

Or meth.

Is that actually a natural smile or is it just to show off his expensive teeth ? He grimaces like a demented mandrill.

[quote]Three years later, the two were packing up their New York apartment on a Friday night to prepare for a move across the country to Los Angeles. While they were in the air, Southern California was hit by a massive rainstorm that knocked out the power in the Hollywood Hills, including at their new home, where Jonathan was planning to propose to TJ upon arrival. “As you can imagine, I was having an internal panic attack because no power meant no Wi-Fi, no phone service, no lights, and no electricity to open our security gate for our friends, the caterer, or the florist,” says Jonathan. “Little did I know that our friend and real estate agent, Heather Shorr, had scaled the spiked electric security wall in the pouring rain to manually open the gate to let all those involved in the surprise into the house. For that, I owe her for life.”

The life of an overprivileged, entitled cunt is not always sunshine and flowers. Sometimes things can get REALLY difficult.

The co-op board approval process must have been interesting. But as a new building there probably wasn't any approval process. Seems doubtful he could have squeezed past the board of one of the more prestigious buildings in New York.

What decade are you posting from? Nobody cares about 5th or Park and the "grand buildings" anymore.

[quote]All of the bridesmaids—17 in total—wore white Jonathan Simkhai dresses. “It was so stunning to see all of them walking down the aisle,” says Jonathan. “Each woman’s dress was chosen specifically for her to perfectly capture her personal style.”

You just know he made all 17 pay for them

Joel Simkhai- POCKET GAY

I’ve had him. He sports a meaty 8”.

Ugh - Gramercy Park - no thanks. Guess it is near Silicon Alley - which makes sense. But no charm. For that money I would want to be in the West Village or on the Park.

[quote]The co-op board approval process must have been interesting.

Who knows about co-op board approvals, but doesn’t know that this and most all new developments are condos?

I wonder if they ever had a threesome?

The one on the left isn't his brother.

He should be broke and homeless.

The Grindr brother is creepy and least attractive of the three — well except for his real estate and bank account. Those are quite attractive.

Gramcery Towers is a condo, not co-op building IIRC.

Only thing a condo board can no in relation to vetting sales is right of first refusal. If board (building) does or cannot buy the apartment, they must step aside. Besides this is new construction, there might not even be enough residents in place for a board to exist.

Keep in mind 34 Gramercy Park is just one block west of "The Tower at Gramercy Square" where Joel Simkhai just paid out huge sums for a penthouse.

Thus you have new construction literally a stone throw away.

R38 here...

Eeek, wrong thread, please disregard and carry on.....

I just read about this.

He sold Grindr to a Chinese tech firm. That's a little terrifying given that China's government oversees all business, China's government collects and files data about all individuals through tech and China's government has become more discriminatory of LGBT people under Xi. If they ever start culling populations, no one will stop them. They've already got a million Uyghur people in concentration camps for forcible 're-education' and occasional extermination and the U.S. and other countries will barely even acknowledge it.

No wonder you New Yorkers are perpetually angry. The " condos" the two queens are displaying are tiny. A total ripoff. for that money, shouldn't you expect something bigger than a converted hospital room?

[quote]Joel Simkhai- POCKET GAY

More like a COIN-POCKET GAY

The “taller” brother and his husband don’t look that tall compared to others in their wedding photos.

He’s disgusting and Grindr has wrecked what little was good about being gay.
