Where are the worst cocktails in LA?
- Das Ubergeek Apr 2, 2011 05:05 PM
I want to show a visiting friend the very worst and the very best cocktails in LA. I have lots of suggestions for the best, but where (besides chain restaurants—that's cheating) do I get the worst?
Put another way, where's the hardest place in LA to get a buzz on?
Would assume you're looking for a place that attempts to have good cocktails but actually doesn't? If so, must say I was very unimpressed with the Roger Room. If you're just looking for the outright worst, hit Hollywood Blvd on Saturday night, find some trendy club and go for the hottest bartender you can find.
re: Discokill
Interesting, for us Roger Room has some of the better cocktail options in LA
silly question?
but why would u waste money on the "worst"
worst meaning they are watered down or just badly prepared?
or the worst dive bar in LA?
Gotta go with those places w/o licenses that serve soju (wife's suggestion). Buddha's Belly comes to mind, but there are many others. Wine margarita is another option, but there are enough terrible margaritas out there that that category shouldn't be too hard.
Seems like I've sent back more watery vodka tonics, lawn-clipping mojitos, and neon mysteries than I can remember, but none come to mind. The other subcategory is the too-strong drink, and Columbo's in Eagle Rock gets my vote.
re: cant talk...eating
I've been meaning to go to Columbo's. How is the food?
re: reality check
Dunno. Only been there for the booze.
Das - maybe one of those old-school Chinese Restaurants on the west side would be worth a try. I think Shanghai Grill on Wilshire in Beverly Hills had pretty weak cocktails. They have a little bar in front as you walk in.
Oh I know - does anywhere in town have one of those frozen margarita/daquiri machines? Like at a swim-up bar in Mexico or something. That would be awesome. "CHHHhhhh - order up!"
re: cant talk...eating
Columbo's food is quite good, in the red-sauce-and-steaks category. This is the place whose owner was the villain in "The Big Night", or might as well be. Live music in the dining room on Fridays, or used to be. As for the drinks, all I get there are martinis and wine, so I wouldn't know about too-strong.
As for those wine "margaritas", we've only come close to experiencing any - were about to order dinner at a place up on Washington in Pasadena, and asked about the margaritas. As soon as we learned the truth, we got up and went elsewhere.
re: Will Owen
Thanks. I heard they went through an ownership change a couple years ago, and the food wasn't as good as before. I may go there late next week.
re: cant talk...eating
I seem to recall seeing wine margaritas on the menu at Gardens of Taxco... you can get a double "worst of" bang for your buck that way :)
I keed, I keed.... I actually do have a soft spot for Taxco, for reasons I just don't feel like getting in to right now.
Mr Taster
Gardens of Taxco
1113 N. Harper Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90046
re: Mr Taster
Those singing Mariachi bands would lead anyone to drink ... just about anything.
While I'm sure there's worse, I've had pretty weak and insipid cocktails at the Cheesecake Factory, specifically the location at the Grove.
EDIT: Oops, just noticed that chains are disallowed. Please ignore.
re: Bradbury
Having read today's LA Times article on Huntington Beach nightlife, I think we can safely add to the "worst" list just about any place within a couple blocks of Main St. and PCH, where one can:
"...suck down giant plastic syringes loaded with jello shots or sip from 84-ounce bright pink fishbowls full of "Donkey Punch," a potent blend of peach schnapps, vodka and fruit juices"
and assemble such fine combinations as:
"A Mind Eraser. Two shots of Jack Daniels. A Guinness and a Pabst Blue Ribbon. Two Irish Car Bombs, then three Bud Lights"
Oliver Reed wept.
re: Bradbury
I vacillate on whether I consider the cocktails at Bahooka to be good or bad.
On the one hand, the cocktails are generally either too sweet, or the equivalent of sipping fruit colored rubbing alcohol.
But, that said, without them flaming cocktails, the food would be completely unbearable. Even with the cocktails, they're barely what UNICEF might consider "edible nourishment".
re: running pig
No question that some are very good...i don't know what possessed my friend to get the Dr. Funk which has pastis or something licorice-flavored that is equally vile...some of Tiki-ti's drinks make you wonder if the bartender's are competing for the title of Most Disturbing Lava Lamp.
re: Local
The Mai Tai and the Dark and Stormy are certainly solid. The one - not sure of the name - where everyone chants Uga Buga! when it's being mixed is pretty tasty, too. The drinks are pricey though. It's the kind of place that you stop in for one, or two at the most. Your liver will go AWOL if you opt for a third.
the last time i went to the polo lounge at the beverly hills hotel, the cocktails were radiantly bad.
re: scurvy
I'd have to second Tee Gee. There is no gun and drinks are mixed from flat Canada Dry bottles on the bar. If the old dude with glasses is 'tending, you'll also wait a good long time - enough to sober up between drinks. There are also no taps at Tee Gee - something I see more often in LA than in other major cities. When I'm there, I stick with ice cold bottles of Grolsch and Jim Beam neat.
re: JeMange
But I gotta give Tee Gee +1 for its old school charm. I don't think it's a bad place at all to drink away an evening.
Club Tee Gee
3210 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039
re: emosbaugh
Don't get me wrong emosbaugh, I like the place, I'd just avoid ordering an old fashioned there.
re: EricDC
I believe Sharkeez in MB is closed pending a reopening across the street.
re: EricDC
That's what came to mind. If the one in MB is closed, the one in Hermosa Beach should fit the bill.
re: EricDC
Agreed. Horrible margaritas. I mean I like the place - was there the night they opened. But (except for those seeking the intentionally bad) order beer for God's sake.
re: tastycakes
Agreed! Same with their sangria.
In My opionion (which is always right), the worst I have had for poorly executed, overpriced, and not strong enough to get any kind of buzz, is probably at the rooftop bar at the Thompson hotel in BH. would never go again, despite the views. Most SBE restaurants make pretty good cocktails but way too small and too pricey, so still hard to get a buzz, although they use fresh juices which taste great. Dont go to katsuya its complete shit. Cleo is great. Some of the best are:
Westwide Tavern - get the moscow mule its the best in LA TRUST ME
Bazaar at SLS Hotel - Ultimate gin and tonic and the new style martini - pricey but awesome
Tasting Kitchen - any drink is awesome I love the bravehart (scotch and honey and ginger)
A frame - great sazerac
Tasting Kitchen
1633 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90291
Ole Tapas Bar in Studio City. I am not convinced they put any alcohol at all in their mixed drinks. Their food isn't that great, either.
Ole Tapas Bar
13251 Ventura Blvd Ste A, Studio City, CA 91604
I am reminded that the margaritas at El Arco Iris contain undetectable amounts of tequila, although they are both tiny and expensive.
Also, I just remembered: the wine-based margs we managed to avoid were at the Mijares branch on Washington. The ones at the original, on Pasadena Avenue, were almost good enough to justify a trip there, and we (reasonably, I think) expected the same here. Wrong again …
re: Will Owen
That's odd, because the margs at Yxta are (or were) really good.
Irish Times on Motor in West LA ponies up the most horrid drinks I've ever had. You can get your buzz on, but you might gag in the process.
The Irish Times
3267 Motor Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034
Das, have you settled on where you're going for the best? I'd love to know where you think the best cocktails in LA are.
Edited to Add: I have had a lot of luck finding good drinks in LA. Especially with the rise of all the bars with mixologists, instead of bartenders. I can't think of any "worst" cocktail suggestions than what others have posted.

A news blog by the staff of the St. Petersburg Times is reporting that Florida Gov. Rick Scott is "looking to recruit" Tony Bennett, Indiana superintendent of public instruction as the Sunshine State's education commissioner.
The blog posting points to Bennett's legislative success in limiting collective bargaining, establishing tax-funded vouchers for private and parochial school students and in tying teacher evaluations to student test scores.
It also notes the difference in leadership styles of the Florida governor, who "goes to great lengths to address hand-selected Republican crowds and seldom strays from his written speeches and talking points" and Bennett, who eagerly wades into unfriendly territory to promote his agenda. The Indiana schools chief, to his credit, doesn't hide from unsupportive audiences.
The search for a new education commissioner in Florida has attracted considerable attention, but some are speculating that Scott is having trouble filling the post because of the way he treated the former commissioner.
Eric J. Smith, the Florida commissioner since 2007, announced his departure in March. He is highly respected in national education circles.
Unlike Indiana, where the top public school official is elected by voters statewide, Florida's school chief is hired by the state board of education, although the governor has great influence through his appointments to the board.
Bennett was elected in November of 2008 to a four-year term that runs through 2012. A Republican, he succeeded Republican Suellen Reed, who chose not to seek a fifth term after Bennett announced he would seek the nomination.

Perfect Pimm's
- By Lily Barclay - Senior writer - bbcgoodfood.com
Pimm's is as much a part of a British summer for many as sunburn and sandy sandwiches, and we've found some original ways to serve it.
For many people Pimm's is as much a part of a British summer as sunburn and sandy sandwiches. At the first hint of sunshine we seem as keen to whip out a jug of Pimm's as we are to swap into too-short shorts. After all, what other drink would you get away with putting cucumber in and drinking in the afternoon? So why would we stop at strawberries and lemonade…
If you haven't got a sweet tooth, you can add a touch of cool to your Pimm's with refreshing iced tea - perfect for a double Brit hit and so much better than a standard cuppa. Serve in a teapot for a quirky summer get-together with dainty sandwiches and scones.
Remember the good old days of jelly and ice cream? Don't let the kids have all the fun, this strawberry Pimm's jelly makes the perfect summer party centrepiece and looks as stunning as it tastes.
Who doesn't love a jam tart? Give them a grown-up twist by adding a touch of Pimm's to your jam mixture, but remember to make plenty because they'll be whipped off the plate in no time. If you have leftover jam then you can always use it to top freshly baked scones.
When it comes to Pimm's do you keep things strictly citrus? Or do you prefer a different tipple on a summer's eve? We'd love to hear your top tips for summer refreshment…

The rain was serendipitous - though I doubt anyone thought so while they were standing in it - and Jimm added more visible rain in post. That landscape was great, though.
The Kongo reveal was what we called the "Planet Of The Apes" shot. We loved that a lot, too.
One thing we talked a lot about while cooking up the story was "what kind of stuff might they have shown on TOS that they didn't, and that we can without violating the spirit of the thing (Jimm and Josh not being big fans of much Trek after the original)." Having a ship jettison and crash the saucer came out of that.
The Kongo shot was
best shot of that segment. When they pulled back for the wide shot, all I could think was "holy shit!".

Twisted Metal and Crash Bandicoot were my favorite games for the PSone. :)
Mine was Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid
Both extremely overrated. Im with crash bandicoot 1-3 up there.
Right. They were both not as great as they are made out to be and were extremely boring to me.
Ok I can agree that FF7 was overrated.
But Metal Gear Solid literally created the stealth game franchise, how can you say it is overrated?
Overrated because it was boring. The first mario game got platforming started, but that does not mean it is great. Yes, peace walker was pretty fun, but MGS was just lame.
True, I didn't actually play these games, only FF7
But Snake Eater was good

Hi there fellow seekers,
May 2013, Hi all, I'm at home again, learning to walk again after breaking my knee in January. I'm not spending much time doing FAG research at this time, but will try to get all of the past inquiries answered as quickly as possible. If I have not updated your memorial information as you requested, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
God bless,
I'd like to extend to each of you the invitation to use the information that I have placed out on Find a Grave without getting my prior permission to do so. If you would like you can add the link to the memorial so that other fellow seekers can know where you got your information. Plus if a memorial is linked it makes looking for family members easier.
Happy seeking,
Your Sister in Christ,
Dona (Carr) Mooring

Hi Dona,
I just saw the memorial page for Sarah Rebecca Carr. Are you related to this branch of Carr's and if so, are you able to share any information you may have? It seems my Great-Grandfather, Thomas J Webb had several wives, the first two were the Carr sisters, Mary Elizabeth and Sarah Rebecca. He fathered children with both Mary and Sarah. From all that i've seen on Find A Grave, I can see you are very busy. Also, I hope you have fully recovered from the broken knee!
Thanks in advance,
Your Possible Relation,
Stephen Webb

In Sheila Weller's The News Sorority, a book that details the rise of Diane Sawyer, Couric, and Christiane Amanpour, "Couric comes off as brash, striving, self-absorbed" and petty, according to The Daily Beast. For instance, When Sawyer beat Couric "on an interview with a 57-year-old woman who'd given birth to twins, Katie mused aloud, according to a person who heard the comment: 'I wonder who she blew this time to get it.'" Weller also reportedly depicts Couric as someone who was sometimes "insensitive to the realities faced by her less well-compensated coworkers," even though she has had to overcome the death of her husband to cancer. According to the Beast, Couric was slammed for doing a glamorous photo shoot with Harper's Bazarre in 2010, when CBS News was slashing jobs. Weller reportedly writes that it felt like Couric, who was making $15 million a year, "was rubbing in her privilege while so many women saw themselves, or their friends, cleaning their desks and saying goodbye." Weller reportedly "spoke extensively to friends and associates of the trio, with the principals' permission, but not directly to Couric, Sawyer, or Amanpour," according to the Beast. After leaving CBS, Couric hosted a daytime talk show, which was panned as an "unmitigated disaster" before getting canceled. She is now at Yahoo after taking a substantial pay cut.

"Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.... And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron,... And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph...the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down:...thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong."
Joshua 17:13-18
We are all facing a new year, and I want us to face it in victory. The Book of Joshua is a book of victory and tells us how to have victory day by day.
The children of Israel had gone into the Promised Land and were living in Canaan. But there was something wrong.
God's plan for His people was total occupation. God told Joshua and the children of Israel to take the land from border to border, and to take it totally. God commanded them, "You are to drive the Canaanites out of the land." Yet they disobeyed.
There was no reason for not clearing the Canaanites from the land; they just would not. These demon-possessed people were keeping them from their full inheritance and keeping them from total victory.
In looking at this account, there were three kinds of Canaanites that they failed to drive out, and they represent the things that keep us from victory.
Many of us have done that. We have favored certain sins. There are vices that we actually think we can somehow tame and get benefit from. Some people view alcohol and gambling in this way. Other vices may be a little habit, a shady deal, a doubtful behavior, or being unequally yoked. It may not be overtly wicked, and we think it's something we can control.
Friend, there are the Canaanites, or vices, that we favor and think that somehow we can take them and use them for our glory.
You see, Satan will come at you in one of two ways: he will come to entice you, or he'll terrify you. He has many people convinced that they cannot live in victory. Is that you? Have you bowed down before certain things and said, "There's no use."
We often fear the drug problem, alcoholism, immorality, or criminal behavior because we are told that these problems are too big for us. So we live in dread and fear. But there is no sin that we cannot overcome — no temptation so terrible, no problem so big, no devilish power so great that we cannot overcome in the strength of the Spirit of God. Don't get the idea that somehow we are helpless victims.
If we become friends with the world, next we'll begin to love the world, and then we'll conform to the world. Finally, we'll end up being condemned with the world.
Are there some Canaanites in your life? Are there sins that you favor and think you can tame? Are there sins that you fear and think you cannot overcome? Are there sins that you fellowship with and have made peace with? God's plan for you is victory! He intends for you to have His full blessing. Don't settle for less than God's best!
One morning Joyce Rogers witnessed a breathtaking sunrise. She was captivated by God's handiwork. Truly the heavens do declare the glory of God, just as the psalmist said. She could almost hear God saying to her, "Behold!"
The more Joyce praised God for such a magnificent work of art, the more God reminded her of the many occasions when she and her late husband, Dr. Adrian Rogers, had experienced God's glory and magnificent creation.
Inspired by this moving experience, Joyce began a study of the word behold in her personal quiet times with the Lord. Over and over again she found that the Scriptures direct us to "behold" the glory and work of the Lord---to gaze upon them and consider them deeply.
During this time, Joyce reflected on the many personal experiences through which God graciously allowed her and Adrian to behold His majesty and glory. Mrs. Rogers' intimate reflections ultimately became this volume, entitled simply, Behold!
Christians can no longer watch the slaughter of millions while using the excuse they didn't know what to say.
Adrian Rogers offers a wealth of practical wisdom and suggestions for parents competing with a secular world.
Adrian Rogers takes us step by step through what the Bible says about the believer and the Tribulation.
In light of current events, many are asking, "Will we have to go through the Tribulation?

Judge won't lower bail second time for Manchester woman
Covey, 26, of 92 Walnut St., had failed to appear for trial Oct. 28 on a September resisting arrest charge, but she claimed yesterday that she was in the hospital at the time.
When Covey pressed the judge about setting personal recognizance bail, Lyons said the last time Covey appeared before him, the prosecution sought a $3,000 cash/surety bail, but Covey persuaded him to set bail at $1,000. "You didn't show up," said Lyons. He set bail Friday at $1,000 cash/surety and trial on all four charges was set for Dec. 19.
Heidi Taylor, 21, who is homeless, could enter no plea Friday to a felony charge of robbery, so a probable cause hearing was set for Dec. 4.
Police prosecutor Favreau said Taylor left the JC Penney store at the Mall of New Hampshire after shoplifting items and when a loss prevention officer grabbed bag, Taylor struggled with the woman.Favreau said it was a case of "shoplifting gone bad." The use of force turned the misdemeanor shoplifting charge into a felony robbery charge.
Andrew Greeley, 43, who lists the homeless shelter as his address, was in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division Friday on a warrant from Dover for failing to appear on an operating after suspension charge from 2003.
Repaid kindness by allegedly stealing
Eric Michaud, 23, pleaded innocent Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a misdemeanor charge of theft by unauthorized taking.
The prosecutor said Michaud's record includes assault, shoplifting and habitual offender convictions. Bail on the misdemeanor was set at $3,000 cash/surety, with conditions that include no contact with the victim and not going to the victim's Union Street address.
Regino Cabrera, 55, of 426 Somerville St., could enter no plea Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a felony charge of second-degree assault.
Cabrera insisted he doesn't know the alleged victim, who sustained rib and torso injuries as well as fractures to his facial bones and a fractured wrist when he was kicked and punched.
A man charged with felony receiving stolen property and theft by deception could enter no plea to the felony charges Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, so a probable cause hearing was set for Dec. 5.

In a post on CNN.com's Political Ticker blog, CNN associate political editor Rebecca Sinderbrand wrote: "Before John McCain walked off the stage, his campaign already had a new Web video up featuring footage of the first debate -- clips of Barack Obama agreeing with his Republican rival." However, Sinderbrand did not note that the ad omitted Obama's criticisms of McCain moments later on the subjects which Obama purportedly "agree[d] with his Republican rival."
On Special Report, Brit Hume said, "A $100,000 grant that then-Illinois state Senator Barack Obama awarded in 2001 to a group headed by a one-time campaign volunteer is under investigation by the Illinois attorney general." But Hume did not note that a spokesperson for Attorney General Lisa Madigan said "Obama's actions in awarding the money are not a focus of the investigation," according to the Chicago Sun-Times article Hume cited in his report.
On MSNBC Live, the Politico's Eamon Javers said, regarding the upcoming presidential debate, that "everybody assumes that Barack Obama is a better speaker than John McCain" and added: "[I]f Obama stumbles, on the flip-side, and doesn't appear as well-versed or as smooth a talker as we've come to expect of him, that could be a real disaster for the Obama camp. ... So, McCain really benefits from low expectations going in here." In fact, "everybody" doesn't "assume[]" that Obama is the better speaker in a debate setting and that McCain needs only to exceed low expectations -- several media figures, and even the deputy chair of the RNC, have suggested the opposite.
On CNN, Diana West claimed that former Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines was among Sen. Barack Obama's "most trusted campaign advisers ... deeply implicated in the mess at Fannie and Freddie [Mac]." However, both Raines and the Obama campaign have denied that Raines is an adviser. Further, West did not note that Sen. John McCain's own "most trusted campaign advisers" have served as lobbyists for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or both.
On the CBS Evening News, Chip Reid uncritically aired video of Sen. John McCain claiming that the "crisis on Wall Street, my friends, started in the Washington culture of lobbying and influence-peddling, and [Sen. Barack Obama] was right square in the middle of it." However, Reid did not mention McCain's own ties to the "Washington culture of lobbying." According to a Mother Jones report, "at least 83" McCain aides, policy advisers, or fundraisers "have in recent years lobbied for the financial industry McCain now attacks."
The media have for months reported complaints by the McCain campaign that they have favored his opponent in their coverage of the presidential race, while making little attempt to assess the accuracy of those complaints or to confirm or refute them. But in a review of the media's coverage of two stories negatively affecting or reflecting on Sen. Barack Obama and two stories negatively affecting or reflecting on Sen. John McCain -- specifically Obama's ties to Bill Ayers and Antoin Rezko, and McCain's dealings with donors whom he reportedly benefited and his association with G. Gordon Liddy -- Media Matters found that the five major newspapers and the three evening network news broadcasts have frequently mentioned Obama's ties to Ayers and Rezko, but have rarely mentioned McCain's dealings with donors and have ignored his association with Liddy.
Rush Limbaugh baselessly asserted that "Sarah Palin's emails, personal emails, have been hacked, no doubt by Obama thugs." Limbaugh also repeated the claim that Sen. Barack Obama's campaign "dropped 30 people up there in Alaska trying to dig up dirt on" Palin, a claim Obama and Democratic officials have reportedly denied.
The New York Post falsely claimed that the results of a Wisconsin Advertising Project analysis stating that in a recent week Sen. Barack Obama ran more negative ads than Sen. John McCain "clash with recent media coverage accusing McCain of distorting Obama's record in ads." In fact, the analysis reportedly "do[es]n't measure the veracity of the ads"; rather, in the words of the San Francisco Chronicle's Joe Garofoli, it "define[s] 'negative' as any time you mention the opponent's name." Thus, the analysis did not "clash" with recent media reports noting that McCain's ads distorted Obama's record because it reportedly did not analyze whether the ads contained distortions.
In recent reports, McClatchy News Service and the Las Vegas Sun falsely suggested that Gov. Sarah Palin supports benefits for same-sex partners of state employees. In fact, while Palin did veto a bill that would have prevented state officials from granting spousal benefits to same-sex couples, she stated that she did so because the Alaska attorney general had advised her that the bill was unconstitutional, not because she supported spousal benefits for same-sex couples.
On MSNBC's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough uncritically aired video of Sen. John McCain falsely claiming that Sarah Palin is "governor of a state that 20 percent of our America's energy supply comes from." In fact, as Factcheck.org noted, according to the most recent figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Alaska is responsible for "just 3.5 percent of the country's domestic energy production," and only 2.4 percent of the energy the United States consumes.

Your friend is horrible. I would not be able to be friends with someone like that.
Especially if it was affecting me negatively and really in the circumstances how could it not?
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:53 AM
I think your friend sounds rather shallow and self-absorbed and his behaviour would p*ss me off. In fact it would p*ss me off so much, I'd probably be turned off him and the friendship.
I hav no advice really, it's your friendship and you know whether it's worth it or not, but if I had a friend like that I think the friendship would probably end, or at least not be quite the friendship it once was.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:56 AM
I would struggle to continue a friendship like this. Selfishness and hateful are not an endearing qualities. I'd just let the friendship go quietly.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:58 AM
Gay or straight some people can be total self absorbed SOBs. If he is continually making you uncomfortable then I suggest to talk to him and tell him what you are feeling about his attitude towards "fat" people. If he just does not get it or refuses to acknowledge your point of view then I suggest to move on and limit the contact between you.
People can be jerks and don't this one get you down.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:02 AM
Yeah sorry but your friend sounds like a complete prick actually.
He says he doesn't care about his date's feelings. He also said he doesn't care about your feelings. I can't even begin to imagine why you would continue to see him.

It's like him saying "I hate [insert name of your ethnic group] but you're OK". It's still hateful.
It's alright to be attracted to whoever you want, but it's not OK to lead people on.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:02 AM
Your friend sounds like a jerk.
I have lots of gay friends that wouldn't date someone based on looks - the difference is they wouldn't string them along either.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:08 AM
He's done a few jerky things lately but the issue is my son is close to him - closest thing he has to a father figure so I guess if I'm going to withdraw from him I know it's going to break my son's heart not to see him often. I guess in my heart I'd moved him closer to "family" then friend due to his involvement with my boy and have had the attitude of ah well, can't pick family. But this one would be hard to overlook. And eventually my kid would start to pick up on those attitudes as well I guess.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:10 AM
Quite honestly, I would want to be limiting my child's exposure to someone with attitudes such as those your friend has.

Same. I know lots of people that may choose not to date someone based on being overweight, but they don't hate overweight people it's an attraction thing same as I know lots of people who wouldn't date a smoker or really muscly people or super thin people. Superficial yes but we are attracted to what we are attracted to. However they don't go on and on about how gross they are! Also they wouldn't have a problem with those same qualities being in a friend.
I'd say your friend was either trying to be cool, has low self esteem or is just an a*s*hole.

Now that you've given more info I wouldn't want him around my child. My kids dad (who is also gay) would never date someone overweight whilst DP and I both are. But he is nothing but supportive and respectful. He was there when our kids were both born and saw way more than any of us expected but he's only ever said kind things to my DP.
I'd be limiting the exposure of your friend and his arrogant attitude on your son if I were you.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:37 AM
I know you say you value his relationship with your son but is that the role you want for your boy? Someone who thinks looks are more important than personality, someone who would willingly play with another person emotions and not care what damage could be cause, someone who claims to care about you but continually does and says things to hurt you?
Those are not the lessons I want my children learning.
He doesn't sound like a very good friend or role model at all.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:45 AM
There's a lot of people I'm not personally attracted to. Or my single friends aren't attracted to.
It's not wrong to be unattracted to someone, even for a silly reason. For example I am turned off by androgynous men even if on some level I can think they're pretty. I just can't feel "that."
So I don't date them. Being a little bit shallow is okay as far as who you look for romantically, no point in tying yourself into a relationship that leaves you feeling icky or forced. But it's no reason to lie or lead; if nothing else, every moment you spend with not-your-type guy is a moment you're not finding someone who, if not your life partner, is still at least Sexy!Fun, as isn't the whole point finding someone you either want to be with long term or someone who's Sexy!Fun...?
If you care about him as a friend I would say you were worried about him. Doesn't he know he's a great guy, (if he is) and he's worth someone who makes him truly happy, and not to waste both their time or try to settle. This time-biding with someone you find yucky is a sign of lack of confidence and self-worth IMO.

True. Or it could just be that he's an asshat who gets off on someone fawning over him despite him having no attraction whatsoever?
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:03 AM
Sounds like an ex friend of mine. We don�t talk anymore because she took her selfishness to a new level which didn�t only affect me but upset and cost my friends and family quite a bit of money.
She used to tell me about guys and how she wasn�t interested but just wanted to be �friends� yet she would lead them on hold hands and kiss them.. And when the guys started speaking about being in a relationship she just wouldn�t get it! The way she treated them disgusted me.. The way she decided to hand her kids over to her ex husband for full custody because she wanted her life back shocked me.. But that was her choice and all the things I can see she has done that have affected myself and many other people just show how self absorbed she is. Maybe one day she will regret it or maybe not?
I would let him know that his comments offend you and that the right thing to do is to let this other person know that he just wants to be friends.. If he doesn�t listen that is his choice but if the fat comments keep coming then I would say he isn�t that great a friend.. BUT I don�t know your situation or your friend. This is just my view as an outsider.. Hopefully he has had a think about what you have said and will think before he speaks.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:11 AM
I have a straight friend like that.
he would say things like "I could never go out with a girl with a figure like yours (curvey) because I just love fit girls so much" blah blah blah.
I always just told him I was perfectly fine and happy with how I looked and I bet I met someone before he did.
anyway years on I am happy, married, in love (my Hubby is even more round then me!). He is still single and alone wondering why he never meets anyone
I feel bad for my friend but, you know, he kind of has to figure out that it is his a-hole attitude that is keeping him for finding real happyness.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:43 AM
It's actually all about him, IMO.
It sounds like he is, underneath it all, a good person, but he has a massive inferiority complex. That's why he needs to criticize everyone, and that is why he continues to date people he doesn't like. Because at least then he is dating somebody, which in his eyes makes him a worthy human being. He clearly can't stand to be single and needs to put everyone down - classic self esteem issues.
The fact that he talks about hating fat bodies in front of you is so wrong. But I honestly think he doesn't understand that this would be insulting to you. And when you called him out on it he probably just clammed up and got defensive and said "don't take it personally!". Because in his view, deluded and self absorbed as it is, it isn't about you at all.
I have a friend who was so obsessed with being fat (she is a size 6-8) that she would go on and on about how fat she was, to me (size 14-16) and another friend of ours (size 18-20). We would sit there gobsmacked, but she honestly had no idea, she was so self obsessed she didn't see us at all.
If I were you I would give it a bit, then catch up with him and lay down the law. I would say something like "When you fat bash I actually find it really insulting, I don't want to hear that crap, and I don't want my son exposed to it. So don't do it in front of me."
He might get defensive again but will probably come around. He might eventually understand, or he might just chalk it up to you being sensitive, but hopefully he will respect your request nonetheless.
It sounds like you guys have a special friendship, I wouldn't want to end it over his self esteem issues, but I wouldn't want to put up with that talk either.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 02:35 PM
Thanks for that Tesseract - your post made a lot of sense. I'm liking hearing the other opinions too. I'm due to see him Sunday and glad I've got a few days to think about it all. Although is Facebook now says "Pash Rash" so I think he may be following the whole make out with him thing even though he doesn't want more ...Ack.

I'd be worried whether his affection for your son fell into that category as well, and that hurting your child (emotionally) wouldn't even register. I imagine you think that your friend would never do that, but you probably didn't think he'd lead someone on in that manner either.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 03:32 PM
Good point and I guess I've been too worried to acknowledge I've seen a few signs that it might be that his affection for my kid is kinda of about how it reflects on him and makes him feel than actually what my son might need. He went through a withdrawn, sulky stage a while ago and didn't see my son who was missing him and when I asked about it he said, that he was sad and didn't want to be around my son sad, and was a little taken back when I said, the kid doesn't really care, all he knows is you aren't around anymore and doesn't understand.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 03:38 PM
Tecopa, look up Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I think your friend is showing some classic markers for it and its not just being shallow and self absorbed. (I hope I am wrong though).
I would honestly put some distance between yourselves at the moment. You need to be thinking about your son and whether this relationship is actually a positive one for him or not

Wallenda walks the walk for high-wire stunt
Date: February 4, 2010
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
Nik Wallenda made his hometown high-wire debut shortly after 9 a.m. today from the top of One Watergate condominium. High above a mob of cheering Sarasota spectators, Wallenda, 31, embarked on a 600-foot walk from One Watergate condominium to the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota on a wire rigged 200 feet above street level with no safety harness.
Pausing every few feet to wave to the crowd, Wallenda, the great-grandson of legendary circus performer Karl Wallenda, elicited gasps from the crowd when he knelt on one knee several times and laid flat on his back midway through, balancing the weight of his 190-pound frame on the wire.
"It's really cool and scary," said Ely Nabor, 9, who watched with her family in the parking lot of the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. "That's really high up to not have a safety net."
Nabor was among thousands of spectators who gathered around the Ritz this morning to watch the stunt. She attends the same Sarasota church as Wallenda, a native Sarasotan and this year's Circus Sarasota headliner. The spectacle was intended to generate buzz for Circus Sarasota's 2010 season, which runs Feb. 12 to Feb. 28 –– and that it did.
With traffic backed up for a mile in both directions on Tamiami Trail and pedestrians and bicyclists pushing past one another to get a clear view of the wire, downtown residents accustomed to relatively empty sidewalks were amazed by the turnout.
"This is wonderful for Sarasota," said Barbara Keltz, a Broadway Promenade resident. "I think everyone was amazed to see someone do something like this here. My family is visiting from New York and they're all out here this morning. I hope this brings more people to the circus. It's so important we support it."
As for Wallenda: When he reached the end of his wire, he was greeted by best friend and former Circus Sarasota performer Bello Nock, a daredevil clown who last year performed a sway-pole stunt in Five Points Park. Standing on the roof of the Ritz, Wallenda turned to face the crowd, threw his fist the air and pumped it triumphantly.
"I can tell you, there's no view like that view up there," he later said to a sea of reporters. "I've walked the wire across the world and never had the chance to walk it in my hometown, so this is very special to me."

Rodman leaves NKorea without word if he met leader
Former basketball star Dennis Rodman left North Korea on Monday without answering questions from the media on whether he had met with leader Kim Jong Un.
Former basketball star Dennis Rodman left North Korea on Monday without answering questions from the media on whether he had met with leader Kim Jong Un.
The two struck up a friendship when Rodman first traveled to the secretive state earlier this year.
Rodman declined to answer questions from reporters on his arrival at Beijing's airport if the two met on his latest visit.
On Sunday night, he told The Associated Press that he had not yet had a meeting with Kim. He arrived in North Korea on Thursday, a week after North Korea announced the execution of Kim's once-powerful uncle, sparking speculation by foreign analysts over the future of the Kim regime.
Rodman's short visit was aimed at finalizing plans to bring 12 ex-NBA players to Pyongyang for a Jan. 8 exhibition game marking Kim's birthday.
Rodman is the highest profile American to meet Kim since the leader inherited power from his father in late 2011.

Furthermore, this database includes full text for nearly 200 journals.

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Against a backdrop of increasing concern over the safety of genetically modified crops, the National Academy of Sciences plans to take the unusual step today of joining with six foreign academies of science to urge the increased development and use of biotechnology crops to solve problems of hunger and poverty in developing nations.
Describing genetic engineering as an important tool that can provide more nutritious crops and disease-resistant plants, the academies will call for increased support from governments as well as industry, including increased research financing for scientists and the freer use of patented gene technologies by farmers in developing nations.
A copy of the report was released to the press before the official announcement.

Wonder headlines NYC concert highlighting poverty
NEW YORK (AP) - Stevie Wonder gave an electrifying performance at New York's Central Park in front of thousands of fans and several world leaders Saturday, singing his hits and calling for an end to poverty worldwide at the Global Citizen Festival.
Bono gave a funky, rousing introduction to Wonder, who headlined the second annual concert. Wonder wowed audience members, who danced and sang along to songs including "Superstition" and "Isn't She Lovely."
"This is a global celebration," Wonder yelled to the crowd. "We will end extreme world poverty in our lifetime."
Wonder has been a United Nations Messenger of Peace with a special focus on disabilities since 2009. Messengers have recognized talents in the arts, academia and sports and help bring attention to U.N. work.
The Global Citizen Festival coincides with the U.N. General Assembly. Fans earned free tickets for helping spread the word or volunteering to help end world poverty. World leaders who attended included Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
"There is so much energy here tonight. We can power the world," Ban told the crowd.
Will.i.am and Olivia Wilde were among the celebrity attendees.
Wonder ended the five-hour event, electrifying the crowd during his hour-long performance. He even teased concertgoers before singing "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours."
"That's it!" he yelled, then added: "Y'all wanna jam some more?"
John Mayer also performed Saturday and was a favorite with his solo work on the guitar. He was full of power when he performed "Slow Dancing In a Burning Room" and "Gravity."
"It's so nice to be here," he said.
Other performers included Kings of Leon and Alicia Keys, whose set included "No One" and "Empire State of Mind."
"I believe if we don't care about each other, who will?" the singer said. "Help me celebrate tonight so we never forget."
Wonder also had a touching moment when he sang John Lennon's "Imagine" and encouraged the audience to lobby for more gun laws.
"Can you believe blind people have guns?" he said. "Let's keep it real. Ridiculous."
Last year's Global Citizen Festival featured Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Foo Fighters and The Black Keys. The festival's nonprofit partners pledged $1.3 billion in new fundraising commitments last year.
Wonder, who played the piano and harmonica, was joined onstage by R&B singers Maxwell and Janelle Monae.
"I can't believe this is happening," Maxwell gushed when singing "Superstition."

Kerry Washington hosts Saturday Night Live this weekend with musical guest Eminem. Catch the episode Saturday, November 2 at 11:30/10:30c and watch the duo featured in a new promo for the show below!
"Saturday Night Live," NBC's Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase, enters its 39th season in September for another year of laughs, surprises and great performances.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. As The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999, "in Defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
The program has won 40 Emmy Awards and now holds the title for the most nominated television show in Emmy history with 156 nominations. "SNL" has been honored twice, in 1990 and 2009, with the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and cited as "truly a national institution." "Saturday Night Live" was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame by the National Association of Broadcasters, and the show continues to garner the highest ratings of any late-night television program, entertaining millions each week.
"SNL" sketches still bear repeating on Monday mornings. With live show surprises, especially those timed to the election - from Barack Obama's surprise walk-on, Hillary Clinton's performance opposite Amy Poehler and Senator John McCain's "Weekend Update" appearance - "SNL" is making headlines and influencing the political dialogue while skewering it at the same time. Beyond politics, the show's cast of recurring characters and its take on pop culture targets remain spot-on. The addition of the show's Emmy Award-winning SNL Digital Shorts continues to keep the show as current today as it was when it debuted.
