Entretien

• Qu'est-ce que les autres devraient absolument savoir sur vous?
  I'm not a morning person. Where's my coffee?!?
• Quels sont vos passe-temps, qu'est-ce que vous aimez faire dans votre temps libre?
  Meet new people, explore cities, cook, catch up with friends, lift weights, hike, swim. I've also started trying my hand at photography, using my friends as models. And I like to write - you can check out my essays at natebeck.us.
• Que faites-vous pour vous amuser?
  If the weather is good I love to go to the beach, ideally naked. I also like to go hiking, hang out with friends, cook, go out to eat, see shows, and go dancing. Now and then I'll land a go-go dancing gig, which is always a blast. I also love to travel, and ideally work some of these other things into a trip.
• Quel est ‘L'effort Supplémentaire’ que vous faites dans votre vie?
  I take pride in what I do but don't get obsessive about things. Make an effort to do a good job but still keep a sense of balance and perspective. I've had to learn this, and not take things so seriously. But if I commit to something I'll want to see it through, and that includes being responsive to my clients.
• Si nous nous asseyions sur la plage à boire du vin et à déguster des gourmandises juste toi et moi, que me dirais-tu de toi-même et de ta vie?
  I love nude beaches so I'd probably be naked. Hopefully I'd have something more enlightened to share, but first things first...
• Que voudriez-vous que vos lecteurs sashent sur vous qui est unique et même un peu personnel?
  Doing this helped get me through grad school, which was more than a few years ago now(!). Since then I've kept with it when I can, and put it aside when I've had other obligations. I keep coming back since I really genuinely enjoy it. I've met great people and had great experiences, which have benefited other aspects of my life in ways that keep surprising me.
• Qu'est-ce qui vous distingue de toutes les autres personnes que vous connaissez?
  For me, this is not a competition. It might sound cliche but we all have something special to offer. I'm pleased with what I have to offer, but also know nobody can be everything to everybody. I value great relationships with my peers. That said, I think my life experiences and an intuitive nature allow me to understand and appreciate where other people are coming from.
• Qu'est-ce que vous aimez le plus chez vous?
  I'm an easygoing, go-with-the-flow kind of guy who can find fun and pleasure in all kinds of situations.
• Quelles sont les 5 choses dont vous ne pouvez pas vous passer?
  Travel, sex, gym, writing, my dogs
• Quelle est votre «Niche»?
  I’m over 50, so I’m going to appeal to someone different than a younger guy would. A younger guy might consider me a “Daddy” while an older guy will perhaps think of me more as a peer. And with that I can span the mild-to-wild spectrum… I have a closet full of leather and uniforms, but can also revel in the full-on “boyfriend experience.”
• À quelle fréquence voyagiez-vous? Préférez-vous voyager ou êtes-vous plutôt casanier?
  I love San Francisco and the Bay Area, and even though I’ve lived here for more than three decades I never get tired of the place. But I love traveling and I’m always looking forward to the next trip.
• Quel régime alimentaire et de remise en forme suivez-vous?
  I try to strike a balance between following healthy lifestyle but still “have a life." I alternate weights with swimming, and try to eat decent foods. I get restless if I’m not able to exercise for longer than a day or two!
