Yes, +44 is the country code for the UK. The next four numbers are like an area code or exchange. The last six are the number. So assuming your WhatsApp is connected to your US number then you should add the contacts with +44.
 
If you end up getting a UK number, for example if you pick up a prepaid SIM card, then it’s a little different to make a call. You drop the +44, add a 0 (zero) to the front then dial the rest of the numbers. The +44 should still work for creating the contact for WhatsApp in this case.
 
For example, either:
 
+44 1234 567 890
 
OR
 
01234 567 890

He actually doesn’t live in LA so unfortunately he only takes clients when he’s in town...definitely worth trying to connect though!

Give me the cheap stuff! Especially if it’s strong! Lol.
 
Seriously, post like this kind of get on my nerves. It’s the idea that the more expensive something is, the better it is. If you like Ryan, great! And for many, muscle worship is enough, and he is a perfect fit. But the idea that because some of use want certainty, we cannot handle the game? No, there’s a difference between playing a game, and not wanting to be played. That’s kind of why this board exist.
 
Why bother asking about providers, when you can just roll the dice? And if you have a bad experience, but enough money, why hire them again. Maybe if you build trust, things will be better next time.

He looked AMAZING yesterday. And same great personality *swoon*

You can ask him but based on how he’s talked about his upbringing, and my own experience, he does NOT have any racial prejudices.

I can be as hyperbolic as you:
 
The fact you don’t see your inherent racism as a product of your environment is mind boggling to me. That gay men have had to deal with all these “crosses” astounds me that they don’t recognize similar patterns in themselves or have empathy for those that suffer similar discrimination. No one said you can’t have a preference but to categorically dismiss one whole group because of their race without looking at the merits of that person?
 
Anyways I’ve NEVER seen anyone change their mind because of this type of discussion on any online message board, least of all this one, so there’s no point discussing it IMO

Which leads me to feel some kind of way about them. If there's an actual question and someone needs help, I get it, but otherwise I wind up feeling skeptical of their bona fides. There's social awkwardness and there's cluelessness.

I lurked for a long time before posting. Actually, I just focused on the Gallery before I realized how much information there was to be had in the rest of the forum. Doing that, I got a feel for how to search for information before posting questions, how to ask questions in ways that encouraged responses, and I already took some care to write sensibly.

I do recognize those characteristics in many newbies posts, as well as a lack of knowledge of the tools and procedures in these forums. What I do not fully understand is their qualification as "strange". I do find that many posts are strange, but often they are not coming from newbies but from veteran posters that seem to have a compelling need to post stuff, any stuff, opening countless threads.

Kerry is amazing

Kerry Slate is a wonderful guy: https://rent.men/Kerryslate
 
I really enjoyed meeting him.

Yes, still $20/song. Now whether the guy counts accurately or not is a different question!

@tradehunter you have to stop confusing dreams you’ve had with rumors. But if you really want to know, I suggest you simply call a middle eastern millionaire, and ask him where he gets the penises that he sucks.

On a Friday in July in NYC? They will all be on Fire Island

Yes, you do choose your attractions. You are a product of the environment in which you were raised. Does that make you racist because you categorically dismiss one ethnic group? Yes. Should you feel guilty about it? Up to you.

Acknowledging a bias allows a person to choose whether they want to be used by the bias or not.

In a perfect world, that would be true. In fact, skin color is just another phenotype, like hair color, eye color, etc. However, skin color has been inextricably linked with the notion of "race" and everything that race connotes. We live in a racist society and it is impossible not to be affected by it.
 
If people were actually able to say that they weren't into a certain skin tone in the same way that they aren't into a certain eye color, there would be no problem, and perhaps in a few generations we will get there.
 
You say you don't seek out people who look like you as potential partners. But I bet you haven't made a categorical decision that all blue-eyed people, forever and all, are unsuitable as potential partners. And I don't imagine you have a lot of stories and preconceived notions about how blue-eyed people are and why you don't choose them as partners. You're just not into them.
 
Because skin color is so solidly linked with "race," it is nearly impossible to make that choice.

What does affirmative action have to do with anything? Affirmative action is a legal remedy for institutionalized racism. Individual racism in personal relationships isn't subject to that type of legal control. The only remedy for racism at the personal level is to recognize that it's not how you want to be and to stop it.
