Looking for Love on Tinder

Posted on February 4, 2016 | 3 comments

chadwick moore love in the time of tinderChadwick Moore’s article Love in the time of Tinder: What I Learned From a Month of Dates in Out Magazine’s “Love Issue” caught my eye.  With Valentine’s Day two weeks away I thought the article might be a downer for those hopeless romantics looking for love in the age of phone apps, but it made me laugh reading through his 21 Tinder dates in New York City.

Maybe the German word schniedrefreude applies here but for those who may be looking for love Moore’s article is certain to make you feel better, knowing all those awkward / painful dates are more the norm and less to do with you.

Gaily Grind: Rugby players bubble butts

Posted on February 4, 2016 | 3 comments

sports, assMost of you read my blog while you’re at work so I make an effort to keep my blog pg rated (well pg-13 rated) so employers won’t block my site; this isn’t an easy task since anything “gay” seems to be equated to sex, which often is categorized as porn and blocked.  While my post is perfectly respectable note that the Gaily Grind article, that I link to is not safe for work unless you happen to work in a proctologist’s office.

Here are 10 Times Rugby Players Showed Off Their Butt (NSFW)

HuffPost Gay Voices is now Queer Voices

Posted on February 2, 2016 | 4 comments

Gay Voices, HuffingtonPost

Today HuffingtonPost’s gay news site officially changed their name to Queer Voices four and a half years after they launched HuffPost Gay Voices.  According to the article explaining the name change, back in 2011 there was a feeling the word “queer” was too divisive so it was eschewed.  However, the inclusive nature of the word “queer” and the fact that times and perceptions have changed tipped the scales in favor of incorporating it in their name.

In the article explaining the name change, the editors say they hope the inclusion of the word queer will help change remaining derogatory perceptions and be more inclusive in both name and content. You can read the full article here.

Rent Fiddlehead Theatre Boston

For those unfamiliar with the Broadway musical, Rent is loosely based on Puccini’s opera La Bohème and tells the story of a group of poor young artists struggling to survive and create a life in New York City’s East Village during the height of the AIDS epidemic and before the Disneyfication of New York City.

The Dorchester-based Fiddlehead Theatre will be presenting their production of the much loved rock musical later this week on Friday, February 5th. Rent runs through Sunday, February 21st at the Back Bay Events Center at the John Hancock in Back Bay.  For more information or to purchase tickets visit the link to the Fiddlehead Theatre I’ve included below.

The Bear-Naked Chef with Adrian De Berardinis Episode 3: Pappardelle Pasta with Bacon & Peas

Posted on February 2, 2016 | Leave a comment

Adrian De Berardinis, cookingThe Bear-Naked Chef better known as Adrian De Berardinis is back with the third episode of his cooking show. In this episode Adrian cooks parpadelle pasta with bacon & peas in a video that runs about eleven and one half minutes long.

The recipe shown below is inspired by a dish from one of Adrian’s favorite New York City Italian restaurants, Bar Pitti in Soho.

If you’ve not watched the scantily clad (he only wears an apron) chef, I’d suggest you check it out. I made his Paccheri Con Gamberi a couple of weeks ago and it was both easy and delicious.

Temptation Tuesday, hunk, sports, handsome, underwearI’m not much of one for football but since most of America is obsessing over the pending Superbowl that will take place this weekend I thought I’d have an appropriately themed Temptation Tuesday post this week. Do you approve?

Puerto Rican winter weekend

Posted on February 1, 2016 | 2 comments

Sergio, RobSergio and I spent a long weekend in San Juan.  Although Boston’s winter has been mild, it was nice to get away to enjoy a Puerto Rican winter for a few days. It had been several years since we’d last been to the La Concha Resort in San Juan and it was nice to return to this friendly and familiar Caribbean get away.

Our days consisted of deciding if we should lay out at the pool or beach and walking around our hotel grounds and the neighboring Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. In the evenings Sergio played a bit with the slot machines and I enjoyed some time at the roulette tables and both of us walked away the poorer for our efforts. However the Veuve Clicquot was so plentiful at La Concha’s bar our casino losses were a pittance as compared to our budget for Champagne.

Puerto Rico San Juan 2016 MenThe man candy never disappoints at La Concha and neighboring Vanderbilt Hotel proved to have equally if not superior eye candy.  Above are a few photos of the guys we enjoyed chatting with and ogling over the weekend.

If you are planning a visit to San Juan, Puerto Rico let me know and I’d be happy to provide recommendations on places to go and restaurants to try.

Boston’s LGBT community is the nation’s 5th largest

Posted on January 31, 2016 | 4 comments

boyfriendsThe US Census Bureau ties Boston and Seattle with the 5th highest metro area of LGBT residents as a percentage of the total population. That translates into way more than the 1° of separation we joke about, but because our community has been part of the mainstream culture for so long at times we can seem invisible.

To remain both visible and viable we need to support existing LGBT owned businesses and encourage new ones to open. We need make ourselves more visible so when people move to the area they can find a community and make connections more easily, offering viable options to apps like Grindr & Scruff.

Fortunately, there are groups like the Welcoming Committee, The Fellows, Opus Affair and Gay For Good and many sports clubs that can help guys connect.  For more information about those organizations visit my September 2015 posts, Making friends in Boston through local sports teams and clubs and for a more complete list of LGBT social organizations check out, Making friends in Boston (Social Clubs and Groups).
