When he says his rate is $xxx, next time ask if that’s for an hour. Then prorate if he shortimed.

It is not hypocrisy for critiquing someone for the value of what they are selling. If your accountant was bad at math, even if you were worse, wouldn't that be fair game? Do you critique a baseball player on your team that only hits .240 when you would be lucky to hit .050? 
Of course not to either. If you are out there selling your body for sex, it is 100% legitimate, even if unnecessary, to be critiqued for how you look.

@pubic_assistance Since I became a member here, I have looked forward to your comments as your observations are keen and the life experience of which you speak interests me.  However you disparagingly throw out the phrase "old, fat men" with some regularity,  and it sends a shock wave through my system.  To me it radiates disgust.  And I wonder how someone can be so dismissive of senior members here who come in all shapes and sizes.

He aint wrong though in principle. Whilst not all clients are 'old fat man', his point highlights the core nature of this business. No money no honey.

If someone genuinely can’t separate fantasy from reality, I agree, that’s on them. But most clients understand exactly what the arrangement is. That doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to consider how well the illusion is maintained in their hiring decision. After all, that’s what they’re paying for.

I used to like a lot of variety. But I have moved toward having a circle of guys I know and like.  My relationship with each of them is easy and friendly and just really pleasurable.

Loving getting massages, both purely therapeutic, and often something more…
I was a bit naive with my first sensual massage years ago. It was actually my first massage with a guy. I was still not out, and was quite self-conscious, thinking “what if I get a boner?” Well I did, and so did he! It ended up being a lot of fun. Looking back, there were clear signs on what services were being offered. But I’m glad I was too naive to notice, otherwise I would have never scheduled that first session.

I don’t consider myself unattractive and I’m able to find hookups without pay often enough. I like escorts because it’s transactional and convenient. That said, there are three things that are absolute dealbreakers for me. Asking for pics and/or stats. I’m the guy who’s paying, that should be enough. Not being reasonably prompt in texting when I’m trying to schedule. And being late. I can’t stand being ignored or being late. Those two are the worst and are enough for me to not give you a second chance.

I’ve never asked a provider to change their appearance but I have asked for clarification on how they currently look. Some profiles include a mix of photos showing different styles, like shaved and unshaved body or facial hair, etc.

I'm a Gen Xer who came out in the late 80s as a teenager. I stayed negative for two reasons: sheer terror at what I saw happening to gay men in the late 80s and early 90s, and luck that by the time I was sexually active, safer sex practices were pretty standard. As a bottom, I was scrupulous with condom use, not swallowing. I was also a bit of a prude and a romantic, which helped. I was looking to fall in love so I rarely "hooked up." When I met my husband in 2001, we used condoms for 6 months and were tested multiple times before we went raw. We were monogamous from then until 2019 when we stumbled into a threesome in Spain. Since then, we've both used PreP on Demand (though I'm very interested in the shot) and gone back to getting tested every six months or if we suspect an exposure to another STI. 

Your "perspective," unless it's meant to be tongue in cheek, is 180 degrees from nearly every other gay man I've met who lived through the emergence and initial AIDS crisis. I live in NYC and the few gay men I know who are boomers or older Gen Xers lost nearly their entire friend groups. Some were lucky to be tops, which mitigated their risks, or they stayed in monogamous relationships. A few were celibate for 5-10 years. 

Today I was in my office and that 2:00 PM lull started.  I was in between meetings, went to get a cup of coffee then returned to my desk, grabbed my phone and opened up Sniffies.  I logged in and once it populated where I'm at...one of the staff members that sits in a cubicle 2 rows in front of my office comes up.  My profile does not have my face showing...I have "other" pics and then share my face with those I'm interested in.  He was sharing his face and much more in his profile along with some of his likes and that he's "hosting in his car" 
He's not someone I would go for....he's a twink and that's not my speed.  I stayed on there, looking around and then he messages me! 😳
He says...it's appears your nearby....well yeah, it was showing less then 200 feet...but oddly enough it didn't put me right next to him, I was elsewhere.  He gave me some compliments on my pic and then asked if I was "looking" 
Yes, I turned him down (and never showed him my face or revealed who I am)....but I kept thinking about....that's pretty ballzy...I gotta give him credit for that.  

I love transparency. Those who have the opportunity to get it, should be grateful. 
 
I had a similar experience, as my local gym chain attracts gays, especially masseurs and escorts. 
 
Last summer, there were at least four guys from R—Masseur working out regularly. 
 
One guy looked at me as if I were a piece of garbage. He just gave me absolute stankness, just in passing. 
 
Once other dude asked me to spot him and the other one I had no contact with at all.
But then the fourth one came into the steam room one night while I was there. 
He started at me, and then flashed me and started jerking off. Nothing happened as some straight guy ended up coming in. 
 
I made a note to myself to book him later in the month. I did, and my mileage varied very well. 
 
So in the end, don’t be annoyed when a guy reveals his true preferences as you could be saving yourself from a terrible experience, or guaranteeing yourself an outstanding one 😎. 
 

Seeing Tim was worth the wait! Great massage - he knows what he’s doing. Very sexy as shown in his pictures, tall, and friendly. Left very happy. 

I'm not wealthy, but have some disposable income, with some of it dedicated to providers. I go with providers as far as my means allow me to. I never go over budget with them. I do not know what would I do if I had money enough to spend 6 figures in provider. I feel happy with what I get within my means.

Great story!  For the past several years I have attempted to get to the K-M Biennale and have not yet made it.  I have always fantasized that there is nothing worn underneath a lungi, but I guess there is another layer to navigate after the lungi loosens and falls to the ground.  I find Indian men so damn sexy and the dark-skinned Tamils in south India in particular.   The "native" dress I like is.a white t-shirt and lungi.  After Kochi it would be on to Chennai.

Seeing a kid having an absolute meltdown in the grocery store and then being free to just walk away because they aren’t mine.

the greatest joy in life … and that predated my gay living by decades

I have done Naked Yoga a few times....
I've done one on one sessions and group sessions.
The one on one started with us both naked, me instantly aroused and he clearly getting there...I kept trying to focus on hitting the poses while watching the instructor though when he started to "assist" me with the poses and his hands starting wandering...it went from Yoga to Sex.
In the group setting, I went a few times...at first it was hard to keep my dick in check...and most newbies tend to have that same thing....but once you get focused and enjoy the nudity, you became more yoga focused.  One time the class had a "massage session" afterwards for those interested in staying and having 2 guys volunteering to massage you after yoga was down right fantastic.
I always encourage guys to try it out... 😉

I see that but someone wrote on Reddit that at the event he attended there was nothing. No oral. No penetration. Nothing like what's depicted in the videos. He thought that all of that was to get guys to sign up and pay the nonrefundable fee. Personally, I don't mind nude yoga by itself, but for the $110 I hope there's something more than downward dog.
