  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Interesting and fits the insularity of Indy, also not surprising they would adopt the model of high end women's agencies.
  5. 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.
  6. Bump
  7. If nothing else he has one of the better ads. Probably a big hit at the laundromat. https://rentmen.eu/MachoBGrantXxX
  8. Very unengaged, business-like in a bad way.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Saw him in NYC several years ago. Seemed drug Impaired.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. No problem reaching him with texts.
  15. Back to the question at hand--yes and yes.
  16. Back to the question at hand--yes and yes.
  17. The Czechs are mostly Catholic, too, not to mention the Slovenes (Slovenia being mentioned here). The major difference between Bohemia and Slovakia was that Bohemia was more industrialized, richer and closer to Germanic culture. The Slovaks has more affinity with the Hungarians and their us immigrant communities were often near those of Hungarians.
  18. I can recommend Asher Devin, although he no longer seems to be there full time.
  19. If the airport was LAX, it would have been more prudent than anything else. SEATAC is an area that has a lot of drug dealing—again, it wouldn’t have been surprising. I agree if you snoop, you just might lose the fantasy
  20. A working guy once was miffed that I didn’t talk to him at one of the DC lunches. I said he was with someone else and I didn’t want to intrude. Steven was at the dinner “on business”. Of course it was appropriate for him to sit elsewhere. Would t have bothered me, esp. if he just said no more than 25 words to me. All anyone owes you is to pay attention and be engaged during your time together. Anything more and consider yourself lucky.
  21. His day job has gotten in the way of his escorting.
  22. This guy and his main pic have been around since at least 2005. The reports have tended toward mixed to negative and the pic doesn't always clearly seem to be the same guy--this one is an oldie. I've actually wondered if more than one guy has used this ad because of the more positive reviews and the variation in his pics and situation (dog, fellow traveler, etc.). The guy I saw in 2005 wasn't as close a match with the pic as I would have liked and he was barely pro forma as a service provider. I'd steer clear.
  23. Haven't been able to schedule something with Uriel for this week. Initially very responsive, but he wasn't 100% sure about being in Chicago. Was supposed to get back to me. I pinged him (only once) and crickets. I'm assuming he's away but his travel on RM doesn't reflect this.
  24. Because no one has shared anything, I'll share what what little I know---he used to travel with Blaze Austin, who along with Roman Maverick seemed to be friends or a throuple or something in Philly. Anyway, I caught a good glimpse of him when I met Blaze and he struck me as someone who exuded sex, unlike Blaze (businesslike in a perfunctory way--not recommended) and made a mental note to gamble on him in the future, even though I suspected he might be a Blaze-ish dud. I contacted Ian on one of his trips through DC and unfortunately his dates weren't clear and he was going to be in Vegas when I was available---his ad may not have been clear (he seems to be slow to change location), but the communication was (in a good way). The dates have never lined up recently, but he's still on my list.
  25. The usual advice (which you've received) is to have an hour or two with the guy. That's no guarantee of compatibility but you'll have a better idea of who he is, although someone fun for an hour or two is not necessarily going to be good company for several days--you need to know if he can make conversation, etc. Look at the reviews and see who has been reviewed, preferably > 1 for a multi-day hire. Search here with key words like "overnight" "trips", "vacation" to see who has been discussed in the past year or two. A reputable guy who has not met you before will want to have a quite a bit of communication with you before they commit.
