I too have had difficulty processing this terrible news. It is those young skaters that touched me the most as well. Those kids ranged in age from like 8 or 9 to 16, and were so talented. It’s heartbreaking. I’ve shed a few tears reading about their too-short lives. I heard about it about 45 minutes after it happened and then had trouble sleeping because I was praying they’d find survivors.

Beer is cheap, I was happy to get it for him. Whatever he would have wanted, I would have bought.

It was having a drink and a conversation, really getting to know one another and his being very personable. Most of the providers I’ve met just want to get to business and have it over with.

He’s added some newer ones, he still looks the same.

I booked for an hour, it ended up being an hour and 20 minutes.

Really nice guy and a lot of fun! One of the more unusual meetings I’ve had. He only does outcalls and he came to my apartment. He texted in advance that he’d like to have a drink first with me to get to know me, and so I bought the beer he likes and we had a little conversation. Very personable and nice to talk to, besides his other attributes. Heavily endowed and natural bush, too.

I did too, cool guy with a hipster vibe. I asked him to keep his hair down during our meeting, and it was fun!

Pretty much any gym in NYC that has a steam room and a sauna. I’ve never been to Equinox because I refuse to go $200 a month for a gym membership, but I’m sure stuff is happening there, too.

Just got back from tonight’s event. I left an hour early. It was a lot less busy than usual, and I’d say about 1 in 5 were reasonably attractive. At the peak, there were maybe 50 guys there. When I’ve been there before, it was around 100. I ran into a guy I’ve seen working out at my gym, and he was not very friendly. I hooked up with a stocky white guy with a hairy chest, and a good sized tool, and then a buff Asian guy who was really hot. I like all different types. But the crowd was definitely on the mature side and a lot of them were terribly overweight. One was particularly persistent, and didn’t give up trying to get my attention by grabbing my arm. I’m not in any rush to go back, I didn’t really spend any considerable amount of time with anyone, I felt like I could get just as much action in the steam room or sauna at the gym.

That is correct, you can use a locker on the premises with your own lock. I just carry my phone, enough cash, and an ID in my socks.

I’ve been on Monday nights, and it’s definitely a better crowd at the Thursday meetings. It can be hit or miss, like anything else. Some nights are hot, others not. I think I’ll go tonight, will report back.

I generally look for providers without any tattoos, or who only have one or two that aren’t enormous. One provider I was with has just one on his shoulder, and another one had a small one on the inside of his calf. Facial tattoos, full sleeves, neck tattoos, and any tattoos on the chest and stomach, when I see that, I move on.

It’s a shame because he looks hot.

I like the “guy next door” type, a decent enough body but not a bodybuilder, with a reasonably cute face, and well endowed. I would find it intimidating to be with a muscle god, and I associate that body type with a huge ego, or someone who would just go through the motions. Just my psyche, I suppose, but I feel more comfortable with someone who’s more ordinary. And I look at the size of their endowment when deciding who to hire as a provider. Nothing less than 7 for me. Also, I’m on the short side and prefer a guy under 6 feet tall.

Yes, I only have Visa and American Express, so I’m no longer able to subscribe to the site.

And now rentmen has stopped taking payments using a Visa card just like its sister site rentmasseur. I tried to renew using American Express, but they don’t accept it. Only MasterCard or crypto, I don’t have either, so now I don’t pay for premium membership on the sites. I don’t think it’s a good business plan. I’m not going to get a MasterCard just so I can subscribe.

It wasn’t working on my iPad, either.

The same thing happened to me, so I canceled my account with them. I think they’re cutting off their own nose to spite their face with this bad decision.

It’s down again this morning. Every time I try to access it, it says Safari can’t access the site because too many redirects occurred, whatever that means.

I once went for an erotic massage with a provider who had zero personality and it was impossible to have any type of conversation after, and I would never go back. Personality definitely counts.

I’ve also found that a lot of Korean guys are cut, I put it to the American influence as well. Interesting about Filipino guys and circumcision being a long standing cultural aspect.

I’ve only had one provider come to completion, and I’ve probably only hired about 6 or 7 guys total. It was a nice surprise when he did, and it was a geyser!

Just saw Spa Castle has reopened after many months of renovations. Looked at the website and admission has gone from $50 on weekdays to a whopping $85! Talk about gouging!

When I went, there were some hairy bears, but also hot white, Asian and Hispanic guys. I avoided the ones whom I wasn’t interested in and they left me alone. People were very respectful.

Paddles is now permanently closed, I believe. This is a much better location and space.
