Let’s be LA Gays

I'm Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood.

I’m the studio apartment off La Brea, closer to Crenshaw than WeHo, that’s decorated with dreamcatchers, ferns, lots of incense and candles, and a Tom Bianchi photograph knockoff sitting on the ground because he’s too lazy to hang it up. I’m very dusty.

Link to the NYC thread:

I'm Shawn Mendes

I'm the guy who propositions random men to come into my van in broad daylight (true story, a straight man who lived in Torrance told me about someone doing that to him).

Propositioned for sex, or for ...... murder?!

R6 omg, we assumed sex but... *shiver*

I’m the Botox, fillers, spray tan and fluorescent veneers, all done just tastefully enough to not encroach on Jersey Shire territory.

I am the Jeep Wrangler, hidden in the garage because my owner is behind three payments after getting fired from Pump. He will be looking for an arrangement on rent.men and grindr tonight.

I’m the Slammer

I’m Chris Salvatore. I live in WEHO. I can sing! Look at me !

R11 don’t forget to “subscribe”!

Ugh Chris Salvatore, I found the way he exploited his elderly neighbor for Instagram repulsive

R13 tell that story

Here’s an article on it, r14. He was a nobody until he started putting her on Instagram and calling her “my best friend,” and in a lot of the posts she seems out of it. It was really gross -“LOOK AT WHAT A GREAT PERSON I AM.” And I have hard time believing a 80 something woman has a lot in common with some Instaho.

Was on vacation, staying in WeHo 8 years ago. A familiar face appeared in my "Viewers" list on Scruff. I messaged, "Hi Chris!" and was promptly blocked.

R15, it wasn't fake. She was his #1 OnlyFans subscriber.

I'm Bret Ellis, Valley Boy.

r12 Was Goreski one of the pearl-clutchers?

I'm the more diverse and fun Silverlake crowd.

I'm the White Claw pride display at the WeHo Trader Joes.

I’m deciding between the Abbey and Akbar every fucking weekend

It's happened to me! He fucked me, gentle DLer.

a visual

I’m doing key bumps with half the writer’s room from The Mindy Project, all of whom you muted on Twitter long ago

R8 I love the Real Hobbits of Hoboken

Let's be jealous bitches who know LA is superior....

I’m the innumerable ignored Grindr messages. I better see perfect 8-pack abs on flawless skin in that thumbnail or I’m not even clicking to view your message.

I've mastered the" WeHo gym culture" that no NY gay could even SURVIVE.

[quote]I’m the Botox, fillers, spray tan and fluorescent veneers, all done just tastefully enough

and I'm 33.

I’m the entertainment ego kweens, if you think other cities’ gays are bad… just wait, “I’m going to be a superstar” in the movies or music. We’re Broadway Musical Theater NYC Kweens on steroids.

You need real talent to make it in New York.

R32 5-10 years ago, yes… now there are other factors.

R15 thanks for pointing out some of the virtue signaling by that faker.

I'm the 60 year old man wearing Andrew Christian underwear despite the fact that my ass now looks like half-filled bean bag.

Like there’s nothing wrong with that 60 year old wear them out underwear. Some guys are wearing jockstraps and that’s even worse.

I'm the trade @ NUMBERS

I'm the Olds at the Old Coast.

I'm the tan everyone is getting at Starbucks Beach.

I'm this French guy who just got ejected from this big Five consultancy infamous for one of his clients, Enron, I'm burned out, I want to leave Paris, my now former boss, also ejected, tells me he knows a guy in LA who'll be happy to share his apartment with anyone who is friendly with my boss. So I go, and I land in this apartment at 443 N Sycamore Ave with a super nice guy, straight, but always wants to hear my stories about how easy it is to get laid when you're gay, to get a blowjob, anal sex and so on without having to date a chick for days before you can have actual sex and then have sex many times before the girl consent to a blow-job. But I get that he has to be envious because the gay renter above his apartment (my host was the owner of the whole condo) seems to have a fabulous sex life, so fabulous actually that many nights a week, and often many times a night, the whole condo erupt in screams of pure sexual ecstasy coming from his apartment. That was so hot, that I myself needed some jacking to be able to find sleep again. And I know that my straight roommate told me that he did that too.

But the biggest deal for me is that the house directly next to his I instantly recognize as the house in Mulholland Drive, my favorite film ever, where Aunt Ruth has an apartment she lends to her niece Betty while she's up in Canada to help Betty take a foot in the city and start her budding career. Each time I'm passing the house I get shivers and one time I even think I saw Coco's figure just behind her open door. I even crouched behind a tree near the top of the stairs to the house to see what Rita could see when she laid down there the first night, but I got less lucky because an apartment dweller got out just I was pretending to hide like Rita, saw me, seemed a bit startled, and then just rolled her eyes on me and walked away. Isn't it La La land after all?

Such as r33? Are you a New Yorker?

R40 is why Datalounge is a legendary forum.

Is there anything good about LA? I have a job opportunity there but live on the east coast and I’ve never been.

[quote]Is there anything good about LA?

No.

[quote] Is there anything good about LA?

Yes without a doubt if you like vegan food, mexican food, sexy people or being outdoors.

More fun. I wouldn't accomplish anything if i lived in la.

R43 excellent Mexican food, Huntington beach, art deco, whole neighborhoods with 1930s bungalow houses, the Getty. LA has serious problems but only an idiot would write it off completely.
