Whew! I replaced my boiled phone back in San Diego and all is well again. Too much client texting, I guess. Bitches be calling, all the time…
Wow, just wow. I had a great time. This was the first of what I expect to be many fun and fruitful annual visits.
Thank you @David-SF and @Oliver for hosting a lovely series of events. Well done! And thank you to the half dozen or so Company of Men members who hired me for various services over the weekend (even a repeat 😍), plus another member in San Diego Monday night after I got back. You know who you are and I sincerely appreciate your business!
Newell, my 4-hand massage partner was nervous to meet everyone but said he enjoyed himself at the dinner. He’s not so intimidating in person despite his size. He’s a sweet guy. @sam.fitzpatrick thanks for going out of your way to make Newell and I feel so welcome at the events.
@purplekow thanks for helping apply sunscreen to all those hard-to-reach places on my body 😉 
@mike carey I had no idea you can play card games with more than 4 suits. Learn something new every day. I’ll have to practice so I can play a round with you next year. And thank you for sharing the “Karen is a C*nt” comment from the forums. That was laugh out loud funny.
For those of you like me who didn’t know until now: cookies = feet. Eating cookies means licking toes, playing with feet, etc. I was out of the loop on that one. That’s the reference to cookie crumbs. 
@BodeBrentwood thank you for sharing your beautiful self and your cookies with the world, among other assets. It was a pleasure having you around the pool. You were a delightful and entertaining centerpiece to all of the goings-on in the hot tub. Thanks kindly for trying to lead me to an exit 😂 when I was carrying a massage table late night across the InnDulge courtyard to a client’s room. I know I must have looked out of place, dazed and confused scanning the room numbers to figure out where I was going. I won’t even mention Louie’s wild adventures, disappearance into the California desert, and eventual mysterious return. Too late. Thanks @Summerson for generously offering them space to stay in your room.
That hot tub at InnDulge is the place to be! Several other hotel guests booked me there who had nothing to do with CoM. I love a hot tub soak. Can’t wait to chat more there next year.
Other providers take note: the trip pays for itself if you just hang around the hot tub. I encourage more providers to visit next year. Consider this trip business development for us working men 🤣 just don’t risk writing it off on your taxes as such. 
Kudos to Danny for helping @purplekowin and out of the pools and staying dedicated by his side always. What a class act! We miss your delightful presence here on the forums 😢 but I understand it can be toxic in some corners at times, so I don’t blame you for leaving.
Clients encourage us to come to these events but it is quite expensive and we’re not exactly on vacation when we attend. We need more clients to come and support us at these things to make it worthwhile for every provider putting down serious time and money to make a several day visit (excepting those fortunate few who were dedicated hires for the whole weekend/week). We need more of you clients to join us next year.
I’m not complaining - I did well and this trip was totally worth it for me, in the short run and longer term - but I can see it make sense for more of us providers to attend if more clients were attending and spreading the wealth, so to speak. At the dinner, for example, we had 40 some odd people, including providers. We could easily make space for a lot more members there to support the 8-12 or so providers who attended, and more beyond that with enough critical mass. Just saying…
Y’all come next year if you never have or haven’t in a while. It’s a lot of fun 🤩 
Cheers! 🥂

And the gathering begins ...😄😃😊

Saw it tonight. 
A solid, appropriately loud and techno-designed version of this long standing rock opera.
It's had several months to preview and clean up in Chicago at The Goodman and it's come onto Broadway in fighting shape.  
In typical Des McAnuff style, there's a lot of LED lighting and high-def screens, all used creatively to tell the story.
Alison Luff, Adam Jacobs and Ali Bourzgui are standouts.  The music requires a healthy range and the leads made it sound effortless.
HIghly recommend this show if you're a fan of The Who.

March 26th  will mark the 3rd Anniversary of daddy/ @Guy Fawkes passing. I was just reading through the numerous tributes posted in this thread and reflecting on the contributions each one of you have made to keep his memory alive.
When @HooBoy passed @Guy Fawkes took control and worked tirelessly to keep the site going. Unable to purchase it he created a new site and transferred all our posts and reviews to the new one. We were all so appreciative for this as it kept our community together. When daddy suddenly passed I thought this was the end  but, fortunately, contacts were made and daddy’s labor of love continues through all our eyes. 
Cheers to daddy! I truly enjoyed my years working along side with him and I’m certain he’d be so pleased knowing the site he created is still up and running! 🥂 🍾 
Thanks to all the supportive members who stuck around to watch as the show must go on! 
RIP my old friend. 🙏

They had an awesome juice stand and a stand that sold pretty good tamales and a bakery stand too. Plus, fresh fruits and stuff we could get for later back at your hotel room.

I am a fan of Russ. But I would not hire someone for 2 days unless Ive seen them for a shorter period (usually 2 hours) so we can figure out if we will get along. My 2c.

Frankly, the odometer mileage is, for me, one of his more attractive features. His life experience and range of interests contribute to his appeal — I feel like I’m with a man, not a boy.

Awwwww! If there’s an annual or bi-annual ‘Tristan Thread’ then perhaps there had to be the bi-annual or annual RESPONSE to it!
Absolutely swooning in the compliments; appreciate all of you so very much who have supported me over the years. I have never attempted to be the same as some of my colleagues- whose business model is to pack an absurd amount of clients into one day, fill themselves up with money like the cheeks of a chipmunk, then disappear for weeks. 
 
My model is slow but steady, only a couple a day at max- and that allows me my other obligations to the Army and to family / dogs / regular job. Communication with me can suck; and I will state that in advance…but as all of you who stayed the course have seen; I never do people wrong. 
 
As far as not being everyone’s type; oh well. Some people on this forum also strive for guys that perpetual con artists and hustlers, or because a guy is 22 and ‘less touched’, his value increases? ROFLMAO. Alright, let me know how that works out when he leaves after 35 minutes or doesn’t show up period, demands deposits, or blackmails you down the line when he’s desperate for 👌.
I feel better at 41 then I did in my early 30s;  and what you bring to a session as an escort is more important between your ears, as between your legs or the biceps on your arms. 
 
Time and experience shape perspective; and I am thankful to all my ‘mentors’ out there for helping craft mine. Love you all! ❤️

I feel like I’m in the big leagues now, I’ve finally just met THE @tristanbaldwin.  I can’t share all the adjustments that he made to make this dream meeting come true.  He is truly way up there among the providers I’ve met.

Until this site ramps up a proper review process, trusting RM's reviews is buying fool's gold.
The long threads about it here can be searched and confirmed.
However, the ideology that someone with perfect/high reviews has to be fake is bullshit.  
Some of us are just great at what we do. 
Always be smart/savvy enough to read between the lines.

I ;do not fear a text trail but I do prefer to hear someone's voice and I think phone conversations go more naturally than texts do, so I might ask for a brief call to clarify the details and to hear the voice.  A sexy Depp baritone or base makes the idea of the encounter more enticing. 

I've read that the break even for full electric is at least a decade given the energy consumed to produce the battery, etc. We need more nuclear and to focus on fusion; once there, we'll need a lot more grid and storage, and then this will all make much more sense. Toyota has teased a 750 mile batter with a 10 minute charge time. Game changer if that becomes available. 

I can accept a great many things, but eating at Red Lobster isn't one of them.

have never met him, but, as others have said, I think @rickp has had a stellar reputation for - uhhhh - a long time......has been a forum member since 2009, but hasn't posted here since 2018 and hasn't logged in since 2022.....yeah, the age thing is a deceptive and unfortunate problem......claims age 31, but has been on rentmen since 2009......not a good "look".......
earlier forum chatter:

A real blast from the past.
Pro: As the other posters said, he's very nice and sweet. Also pretty much up for anything. Gay4Real.
Con: Ricky was 35 years old when I last saw him 10 years ago. Do the math. And he's also using the same photos he used 10 years ago.

No need to be nervous. Ricky is a sweet guy, who is very good at satisfying his clients.
