Preface: Stopped by the jeweler/AD to pick up a pendant that Mrs. BC was having repaired. As readers/viewers of the TRF, we have all read accounts and/or seen posted pics of various Rolex models and some like the 'leopard Daytona' actually look better in real life than they do in various jpegs. In my particular case, I encountered a YM2 for the first time in 'real-life' and while it was a bit oversized for my tastes, the watch was absolutely stunning on its own accord.

Another customer at the AD happened to be wearing one while I was waiting for my wife's jewelry repair to be brought out and I just had to say, "Nice watch" to this particular wearer. He reluctantly acknowledged my casual compliment and a brief conversation arose. When I asked him if he was into sailing, he replied no and that he was a freelance writer. He then asked me what I did for a living and after I replied forest management, my curiosity piqued so I pursued the occupational topic a bit further and inquired as to whether he wrote blogs, books or worked for a publication.

He responded by saying that he wrote "romance novels" for men of a certain preference but quickly added that he himself was straight. After leaving the AD I thought to myself, while to each his/her own, is this possible?

I'm not sure how that's even possible. Maybe he's "curious" but never acted on it? Writing about his own fantasies?

Man, I'm not sure I would admit that to anyone if that's what I did for a living... not that there's anything wrong with that.

In any case, that's a really awkward conversation to have.

lol, classic BC thread right here.

rootbeer7 · 13 July 2017, 04:32 AM

Ibtl !!!!!

Kyle89 · 13 July 2017, 04:41 AM

Apparently he is good at what he does to afford a YM2, or maybe a "gift" from one of his readers? lol.

hugs · 13 July 2017, 04:45 AM

My guess is his first hand inexperience causes him to use some guesswork to fill in gaps and the scenes he creates come across as experimental, which a lot of gay guys like.

wantonebad · 13 July 2017, 05:23 AM

you're making this up BC would you please admit it once and for all...

encarter13 · 13 July 2017, 05:38 AM

BC threads always have me laughing and scratching my head at the same time!

mannyv11 · 13 July 2017, 05:42 AM

This story has to be an absolute lie. I am sorry but no one in the world would have that type of conversation with a complete stranger.

AzPaul · 13 July 2017, 05:58 AM

A truly good writer can write about anything.

axjimenez · 13 July 2017, 06:00 AM

I am definitely scratching my head. This cannot be for real, right?

Besides this, Paul's stories are credible.

With your flair for storytelling, I fully expected you to be the one responding reluctantly as a romance novel writer for men of a certain preference, as someone complimented you on your watch while you were visiting your AD.

That is certainly possible.

breitlings · 13 July 2017, 06:30 AM

I do have a friend who works as a Ryan Gosling impersonator at gay events/bars. I don't know if he goes both ways but certainly gets more women than I do by an amount that is somewhat depressing lol.

He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, it's very possible.

superdog · 13 July 2017, 07:42 AM

I tend to support all of your posts.

This is stupid and inflammatory.

Too bad.

BC, you could spin simply walking to the mail box a great tale.

BristolCavendish · 13 July 2017, 11:02 AM

Just thinking. If I had ordered a second cup of coffee that morning, this particular exchange would probably never have taken place and thus no reportage of its account and/or any reflections of the peculiar vibe it rendered as an afterthought. But the essence of the TRF is that it has always been a reasonably open-minded 'show and tell' forum for grown-ups with various key insights offered along the way.

Seth/superdog: While I'm trying to comprehend your disdain for this OP topic, there's was definitely no inflammatory intentions on my part. I viewed the guy's occupation similar to that of a Hollywood script writer (except that he was cranking out boilerplate paperbacks for a target audience). As Kyle89 mentioned, maybe those literary efforts and royalties paid for his YM2. If this self-proclaimed author was being genuinely upfront, what a vivid imagination he must have.

There are certain things this forum deems impermissible to talk about. This should be one of those things. IBTL. This garbage is tiresome.
