P is for Portland

Picture: The Grotto
A peaceful oasis in the midst of the city, The Grotto is set among 62 acres of botanical gardens. As an internationally renowned Catholic sanctuary, The Grotto offers a place of peace and quiet reflection for all people. More than 100 beautifully sculpted statues and shrines are nestled among flower-lined pathways winding under towering firs. Peaceful reflection ponds, spectacular cliffside vistas and award winning architecture offer inspiration for all who visit this natural gallery in the woods.

After my brief search in Pittsburgh, I am trying Portland. I posted on Christmas day, so maybe thats the reason why I got these responses within hours after my posting.

Hey bud. Believe it or not visiting the family here in oregon and I'm from so cal too. Always lookin for friends and see where it goes. I'm 26 6'4 and 190 pounds. I'd love to chat and have a sidekick phone with aim on it and email. Would love to chat..Ian

I'm 37, 5'8, 150, brown/blue and live in Portland Oregon. I'm safe, std free, loyal, dependable, versatile, looking for friendship/relationship. I have two part time jobs and am also going to college. This pic was taken in Thailand last year..Steve

Hello, That'a a pretty daring posting you have up here on the Portland CL! I admire you for giving it a try. I too am on a search, and you are definitely my type, at least what I am looking for physically, culturally and sexually. Maybe I would be yours as well, if our age difference is not too great a problem--and that cuts both ways, of course. So, I am a 50's caucasian guy, 6'1", 175# lean built muscular top, 8"c who just can't get enough smooth asian skin. I have been single for two years now, and I feel good about finding a partner/counterpart to settle in with for the long run..... So please take a look, and think about it..Joe

Nce ad how old r u?..Patrick

A few days after I am happy to say that I am still in touch with two guys from these group. Guess who.....

Pirates of Pittsburgh

Usually I would post and repost within the week, but due to the hectic holiday schedule, I wasn't able to give Pittsburgh much of a chance. Here are the responses to my ad. And I am not sure if they deserve another posting anyways.

I am at the Station Square Sheraton. If you are intested you can call 412-261-2000. I am WM 42 clean virgin.

Hello. My name is Steve. I am from Harrisburg, PA. I am visiting Pgh this week though. I saw your ad and thought I would respond. I am 5'11", 185 lbs, smooth, muscular .... football player build ... cleancut, masculine, professional guy. My pic is attached. If you like what you see, send me a pic and we can make plans to meet.

Hi..You free during daytime at all? Let me know I live in Bergenfield and only free during day.
Thanks how long are you in town for and planning to go out at all while here? Gay Club in your area - Feathers! J


Hi, The attached are my pictures.
Please send your to me. let see we can work it out or not?
Which area are you located? Jason

Now didn't I tell this guys that I am from Southern California, and not from Pittsburgh. Jeez, even pirates know how to read, or else how would they find the treasures! Well, I do have a soft spot for this city, so maybe my ship will drop its anchors again someday.

Pittsburgh!

I almost moved to this city a few years back when a previous company I worked for relocated here. When I discuss this, I rarely hear any good comments about it, but I saw it and I liked it. Maybe I was on vacation, maybe it was the nice people I have met, or maybe it was the cute guys I saw out in this city.

So, on my next search, I chose Pittsburgh and maybe it would be as nice as I though back then.

My First Meeting

This is way too late. But I just had to tell you about my first encounter from someone I met through my soulmate search. Mike from NY.

I arrived there on a Wednesday, and as soon as I turned on my phone, he left me a message. Then he called again, when I was settled in the hotel room. I returned his call the next day, and within an hour, we met. He looked like his picture, kinda a cross between Jewish and Italian. We had lunch, and split the bill, and headed back to the hotel. We were talking, and then a moment of silence, he smiled and I smiled back. And then a kiss.

Yes, we ended up in bed Thursday afternoon. He is hairy and a overweight, but he knew how to work his way in bed. I give him that, but that was all I can say about Mike.

Nice start I would say.

Steven from NY
