  1. DC's property tax rate is not that bad---half what paid in Atlanta, a fraction of what people pay in Baltimore.
  2. The only way to be successful with OnlyFans is to regularly produce new content, and not just 30 second jack-offs. A lot of guys with these accounts aren't doing that and I would imagine the numbers who really make a significant income stream from this relative to everyone else is small. And some of the people who know how to monetize this are guys like Mike Gaite who produces a lot of JustforFans content. Cam shows also seem to operate similarly----the performer needs a regular stream of activity to make money and a lot don't have a basis for doing this. Do OF/JFF accounts take some guys out of the escort market---probably. Will these radically change the supply of escorts--probably not. OF/JFF accounts probably are a bigger threat to regular porn , although the guys who are successful with OF/JFF probably do better starting off a career with professional porn to more rapidly build a following.
  3. I probably contacted him at the same time as big-n-tall. You also might want to look at his twitter. He has some unusual kinks.
  4. He's come to DC several times for what seem to be open-ended visits (no dates), so I've been curious what that was all about--some of pics look like they may be more recent than others.
  5. Never understood how he made much money from his business model, given all the overhead associated with traveling. His website was always buggy, so I would imagine that the live show component also wasn't a big money maker.
  6. Definite thumbs up for Fran on latbear4blk's link.
  7. As for character and approach.....I had some pretty crappy experiences on a trip to Vegas a little before Peterhung's time. It reminded me that when I started hiring--when I was living in Atlanta a bit over 20 years ago, there were some good providers in town (2 are still around, but only one is still in Atlanta), but a ton of flakes and even the agency guys were not reliable, and that pattern remained the entire I lived there. Granted, Atlanta has a deservedly crappy reputation for a lot of things, but I had some problems in other cities, too. The one thing that strikes me from comments here is that there are more choiced and more information...some of it credible, some not. My guess is that the number of guys who choose this a sa profession has always been relatively small. The cohort who don't plan to make this a long-term occupation, but are well organized as business people and generally provide satisfying service is a bit bigger but not necessarily ever the majority. More providers...more to sift through. Nostalgia tends to be a corruption of history and suspect that if you went back to the beginnings of this site (I think some early posts are gone, sadly), you'd find the same complaints as today, and some of them coming from the most now-nostalgic posters.
  8. Was going to thank Bigntall, except my experience went off the rails....I emailed to confirm, he didn't "remember"; I mentioned where/what (RM emails) and we were back on track, then a question about Uber, that got worked out. He emailed me 45 Minutes before the appointed time and asked about later or the next day. Next day was out, later could only be a little later. Then crickets.
  9. Reminds me of the plot of “The Apartment”. Yes, more to the story.
  10. I’d give middling grades then and now. There were more smooth guys but they often were tweezed and shaved but not enough to camouflage this not being natural, not to mention the stubble burn. There are a ton more guys on the market, but there always have been plenty of marginal, misrepresenting, and/or disorganized guys. And more guys means more flakes. It also means many more choices in cities that had fewer than a handful of guys even 5 years ago. There were plenty of no shows and flakes in the old days. You could still get not great experiences from even well reviewed guys. Some of the posters on the other thread had relied on now-retired regulars and, probably forget how flaky random hires can be. The tats, including fairly random collections of tats have been common for over a decade. Providers change but so do clients and almost no one on the other thread (and I suspect this one) will really own that.
  11. There was a very well reviewed guy in Boston, young, Asian or Eurasian. Saw him once in 2001. Nice guy, but super concerned about hygiene——he called while I was exiting the shower to confirm he was on his way and something about freshening up, so Ifound this more ironic than annoying. He was in his mid to late 20s when he died. He was much missed here.
  12. I used to take the L late at night w/o probelm. I have no qualms about the DC Metro and regularly take the Subway in NYC. I’ve been on BART quite a few times w/o issue. I used to take MARTA late at night from 5he airport when I lived in Atlanta—- ever a problem although it seemed to scare a lot of other people. Really, I’m more concerned driving the Beltway or the Perimeter than taking public transit. I saw some spectacular accidents on Atlanta’s freeways and just missed them. That’s where you should be paranoid—-lousy drivers on poorly engineered highways.
  13. Tried to, set up an appointment but his ad lapsed the day of the appointment and he was late responding to my follow-up to confirm. Like later than the appointment. Initially vague about the rate, too.
  14. Interesting and fits the insularity of Indy, also not surprising they would adopt the model of high end women's agencies.
  15. Not everyone has the luxury of this because of where they live and many guys who are great for a fun hour aren't great for a longer time which requires a different skill set.
  16. If nothing else he has one of the better ads. Probably a big hit at the laundromat. https://rentmen.eu/MachoBGrantXxX
  17. Very unengaged, business-like in a bad way.
  18. I'd rather get things over with. I used to fly to Asia on a regular basis and my favorite routing was Chicago-Hong Kong because it meant that the other flights at each end were short, rather than the alternative layover and then a long flight from Narita, after 13-14 hours to Narita. I really don't see the point of breaking up long flights and although I need meds to sleep on a plane, the main thing is having an itinerary that enables you to reset your clock at the destination w/o too much trouble. The volume and diversity of inflight entertainment keeps improving and frankly having Kindle or video downloads makes things easier than in the old days. Long flights take planning, but even short flight eat up time, given security and so forth.
  19. A few thoughts....college towns often are relatively isolated and you will be neither town nor gown which may be isolating. Also, if you want to socialize with gay people, it will be a small world of people who are happy to live in a rather isolated place. You also have decide what there is to do there...if you're not interested in sports and the school doesn't have much in the way of music or theater programs, there isn't going to be much to do/see. Some college towns like Boulder are quite expensive. Eugene seems to have had its day and passed. Austin is a sprawlburg well past its prime. Are you going to try to get involved in the community? What kinds of things do you want to be doing? I have several neighbors and acquaintances who live in Rehoboth where there's enough of a gay community to have gay activities. It also means interacting with the same people all the time and it's also in a place miles from specialty care for health problems. One of my former neighbors regularly makes trips to DC for health care--3 tedious hours each way in low traffic. Have been to Asheville several times....twice this year. One time, it was filled with traffic and tourists and the other time it was dead...neither seemed very attractive. You're also a long way from anywhere else. Again small social circles and I'd think twice about health care. My friends who are retiring there have had a weekend place for years there and one of them has a mother in a nursing home with a sister nearby--in other words they are integrated into the pace. Another friend considered it but health care needs nixed it. Other than outdoor stuff there isn't a lot to do in terms of easy weekend stuff---it's a pain to go to Atlanta which is...Atlanta, after all and the other side of the Smokies is Knoxville and tourist traps. I've generally tried live some place where I can take some varied weekend trips and have a change of scenery. Sante Fe is expensive. I know people who've retired to Taos, as an alternative but it sounds like a place with small social circles which are initially interesting and varied but later a bit constricting. Cheap places can be a natter of you get what you pay for. My former brother in law lasted a year in Columbia, SC which made some 10 best places to retire list. It has a state capital and a flagship university, but it also doesn't have much to do. Foreign places raise a number of questions---some countries make it difficult to be year round residents (Brazil comes to mind), health care is a consideration although places like Thailand have people boarded in the US and UK. A lot of people like Coats Rica. The problem with foreign places is that the expat communities, even in big places like Bangkok, are small and can be cliqueish. I considered doing at least part of my retirement in thailand but as time has passed, I know fewer and fewer people and it seems less and less attractive. You really need to spend time in a place and spend it like a local, not a tourist. You also really need to walk through how you would establish yourself and spend your time. I have relatives in DC who have had a cabin in Pennsylvania near State College for ages. They considered State College for retirement until they realized that some place that's ok in the summer when the students aren't there for a Home Depot or Wegman's trip isn't the same as State College during the school year the world there was going to seem small in ways they could do without. They retired in place in DC and seem very happy with the choice.
  20. Saw him in NYC several years ago. Seemed drug Impaired.
  21. Invaded, no. Your complaint is probably one of the most common here, although it tends to revolve around "dafe" providers who bareback, but I wouldn't be surprised if "anything goes" doesn't always mean that, as well. Without specific examples of guys who perhaps have been encountered by other posters, your question is "academic" at best.
  22. The Millennium Hilton, near World Trade Center has some of the largest rooms in the City and on an upper floor you'll have an interesting view of one sort or another, without having another large building next door. It's probably the only NYC hotel where I've stayed that had a "real" pool, although that's probably not high on your list for a trip like this. If theater is on the list (and perhaps its not), a good place to stay is the Times Square Hilton---42nd street is a zoo, but the hotel also has one on 41st which usually has light pedestrian traffic. The guest rooms are on upper floors of the building, so you have some security and the rooms are good sized.
  23. No problem reaching him with texts.
  24. Back to the question at hand--yes and yes.
