I really would love to visit New York some day. It is indeed romanticized, or maybe that's the wrong word, it is certainly the most well known city. My american friend once told me that besides San Francisco and New York there isn't really a lot of good places to visit in the US.

Your friend needs to travel more. Every city has its own charm and historical significance. Chicago is a city where I find new stuff to see and do every time I go. I'm not sure what your friend considers "good places" but theres more than New York and San Fran!

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

By romanticized I mean idealized, not necessarily romantic.

 

[Dany]

Chicago is a city where I find new stuff to see and do every time I go.

Oh, I'll show you stuff to see and do the next time you come around.

 

[dbztrk]

"America's Paris"? I've never heard New York described as that. I always associated L.A. with love and glamour personally.

Nah. L.A is the den of sin. New York is the closest thing America has to Paris.

 

[Escape Goat]

Oh, I'll show you stuff to see and do the next time you come around.

Oh, you! I come a lot often.

This statement is much more deserving of all the gifs on the last page than CFK's was. There's a whole 95% of the country in between those two states that's full of worthy sights, including a slew of national parks (Yellowstone! The Grand Canyon! Red Rock!).

By romanticized I mean idealized, not necessarily romantic.

Saying something is romanticized or idealized are essentially the same, but I agree with you. I'd hesitate to say that any city in the US is romantic, but that's probably because I live in the country. I haven't seen Seattle portrayed (favorably or not) in nearly enough pieces of media to even consider it.

"Sleepless in Seattle" or "Frasier".

"Sleepless in Seattle" or "Frasier".

Yeah, the former was all I could think of, and I completely forgot about, and haven't seen an entire episode of, the latter.

 

[Henchmen21]

You've never seen Frasier? Tell me you've at least seen Cheers though.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Frasier is great, totally worth the watch. Fantastic show.

 

[lunch]

You've never seen Frasier? Tell me you've at least seen Cheers though.

I've seen small clips of it, but I was rather young when it originally aired. Cheers ended before I was born, and all I know about the show is that it has something to do with a bar in Boston--and the only reason I know that is because I walked by said bar.

It's worth watching it. I saw it years after its prime. It may not be easy to get into though, I know it took some watches before I started liking it. Then I was hooked.

Oh sure, he wasn't saying the US sucks or anything like that, only that those were like the big world-class destinations. We were actually talking about what cities we should visit next but not just for tourism but for work and living as well.

 

[King Endymion]

Ugh, I promised myself I wouldn't find someone new until I secured my income and living, but oy, it might happen anyway, seems like just the guy for me except for a couple of bumps on the road that I can see so far. Don't know what to do yet, darn you charming guys!

You made a list of world class destinations and didn't add Las Vegas? :O

Lol now I feel old. I remember the run up to Cheers' last episode.

It's worth watching it. I saw it years after its prime. It may not be easy to get into though, I know it took some watches before I started liking it. Then I was hooked.

Yeah. You don't need to see Cheers to watch Frasier (though it does help.) as they do a decent job with his backstory for those who never watched the other. It helps that they would occasionally have guest spots from former Cheers castmates (except Kirstie Alley).

Also...

Niles & Daphne >>>>>>>>>>> Sam & Diane.

I had no idea Cheers and Fraiser were related in any way.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

They're very related, though the tone might be a bit different. Honestly I never really watched Cheers, but Frasier is one of favorite tv shows.

 

[Henchmen21]

Yup. Frasier is a spinoff of Cheers. He started on Cheers (season 3 iirc) and played the character for like 20years counting both shows combined.

Must resist the urge...

 

[mantidor]

haha as I said we were thinking of places to go to work to as well, he said that Las Vegas is a place to visit for sure but not a place to live in.

UGH I'm in London for like 4 hours and I dunno what to do around here. Any tips gayffers? :3

This is how I feel about NYC

 

[Bel Marduk]

I hate New York.

I don't know how anyone could hate NY. I mean unless you like skiing and mountain climbing or farming cattle or something, you can always find something to do in NYC.

 

[RM8]

I found my crush on Facebook. He's such a Halo fanboy. He's also straight as a needle, lol, how surprising :|

The anirondack mountains in New York state are great.. and Euerka, California is one of the most naturally beautiful cities in the world. That's just in two states. Your American friend is wrong.

My crushes are usually (if not mostly) straight men unfortunately.

With enough persistence you might be able to turn him gay. Don't give up!

 

[Jeffdell91]

I haven't been active on Gaf for a while because of college. I figured that I should post something to say hey to you all and see how you all are.
I have two days left of classes this semester. Monday and Tuesday.

 

[RM8]

Lol.

It's probably even more biologically unlikely for me to get into Halo, so why bother?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

Seattle has been portrayed in a disproportionately large amount of media relative to its size. There's actually been a lot of TV shows and films set here. (I think it's because its so similar to Vancouver, and it's convenient to film in Vancouver)

I wouldn't call it romantic. There are far more romantic cities in the US.

NYC, I think is romantic, due to the nice fancy restaurants and the Empire State building. I went there with my Boyfriend in February for dinner and a nice walk of the city also a nice ride up to top of the E.S.B.

 

[Alcoori]

This is how I feel about NYC

You know, I first came to NYC as a tourist, liked it a lot but didn't think I'd enjoy living here. Then I moved here a few years later and the experience has been totally different. I love it here.

However, having lived in both Paris and New York I can tell you that Paris is just effortlessly romantic. New York has its moments but let's get real here.

Did you live in Paris alone? I know that Paris is expensive, but is it possible to find a place that's decent and affordable?

I found a gay porn pic in an old thread and the text below makes it hilarious. I'm not sure if I can post the link without getting banned though.

[DR2K]

So you're choosing good looks/sex over a "perfect" everything else?

Well physical attraction, yes.

I've already settled, I'm going to be a lonely old spinster with a really great body.

 

[Prez]

Have any of you ever been approached by a porn star? I have a few months ago and I refused but now I just see him on another dating site and I kind of regret it now. Damn it.

 

[soco]

define porn star. it's such a loose term now.

I've definitely been approached by a guy who claimed to be a porn star and have met some who had done some videos. The one who approached me wasn't what most of you would consider a 'star', but he'd supposedly made quite a few movies. I wasn't interested and didn't care to check it out.

Professional porn star. I'm not sure if he still does porn though.

 

[TheSeks]

Well physical attraction, yes.

Honestly, as much as I hate to say it: Nothing wrong with that. At the end of the day if you're going to grow old with someone you might as well be able to see a pretty (to you) face with a few glaring personality flaws over someone that may have no personality flaws but looks ugly to you. *shrug*

 

[soco]

professional is also very ambiguous . It's relatively easy to be in a couple of videos and get paid these days.

I don't want to give away his identity but I'm checking out his filmography and he's been in 30+ movies in a period of 3 years. Most of them are from well known studios.

I refused because he was looking for a relationship and I'm not sure if I can have a relationship with a porn star.

Sounds like you did the right thing (if he wasn't willing to give it up for a relationship) imagin if you split up, insted of facebook stalking you'd be pornsite staking literally being able to see the latest guys he fucked. Painful!

I don't think most people could, though arguably, depending on the person, it might not be all that different from someone not in porn

You need a great body to begin with, but we can all dream!

Which porn star was it? I think they've already exposed just about everything, wont hurt them.
