SROSFanboy

Talked with him & he sounds like a very cool guy -- definitely located in Florida.

Thanks for that - the IcemanJB profile reveals a lot - for instance, it lists his Twitter, which is replete with porn, and even has links to some of this videos on Pornhub - he does appear to be straight, though... maybe Bicurious. Also, the Atlanta profile lists an age of 27y/o, whereas the Orlando one says 23y/o. Apparently also has an onlyfans.com site. He definitely seems aware that the gay community is a cash cow for him.

Any thoughts on this stunning bodybuilder? His ad says he's offering muscle worship for "high end VIPs" (I take it that means $500/hr or more??), but it also says he's Top - no sexual orientation listed ("Ask Me"), but I think it's safe to assume he's Straight. I wouldn't pay $500+ /hour for most escorts out there, but for muscle worship alone? I don't think so. https://rentmen.eu/TheAllAmerican

Anybody have any experience with this young man? He's straight and says no sex other than receiving oral. https://rentmen.eu/danthemann

I often chuckle at how focused people, especially younger guys, are about contracting HIV - even to the point of posting ads for a J/O buddy, and saying DDF or safe only - for crying out loud, how much safer an activity can you engage in than J/O side by side?!? And, in the case of oral, because of this obsession with HIV, they don't even think about the laundry list of other STDs they are a thousand times more likely to contract by having oral sex. I think, also, that if I see this "DDF" expression one more time I'm going to scream - all they really want is for someone to TELL them they're "DDF" and they're good to go and ready to jump into any unsafe act you can imagine. In our time of enhanced information availability, and medical knowledge that's light years ahead of where it was even 30-35 years ago, I really wonder how there can still be so many misinformed people walking around? One blatant example of this is how the expressions "AIDS" and "HIV" are still often treated as synonymous, while they can represent two vastly different levels of illness, depending on how eroded the immune system is.

A number of years ago, when I was much younger, I hooked up with a cop in Boston area - not an escort type of thing, just a straight guy wanting some oral. Well, he showed up at my hotel room wearing his gun belt, explained that he was technically on duty, and then proceeded to remove the gun and put it on a table. Once we got his other "gun" whipped out, everything was much more relaxed.... suffice it to say that he left the room much more relaxed than when he arrived Turns out, even though he came across as rough around the edges when he first walked in, he turned out to be a really nice guy who was easy to talk with. That being said, cops are not automatons of justice; they're real human beings with emotion and physical needs, so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that a cop, especially a younger one, would moonlight as an escort. However, the guy in question here, according to his LinkedIn page, is STILL a cop (it says 2016-Present) - I join others on this thread in saying that I find it hard to believe a cop would use his own pics to pull of a sting operation, if that were his intention. Either he's legit and doing this on the side, or else it's a fake profile that's using this guy's photos - I do find it interesting, though, that there is no phone # posted for contact...most Rentmen guys *prefer* to be contacted by text or phone, not by e-mail. Time will tell, I guess...we'll have to wait for Hung_Cody's report!

As I said in my other reply, they seem to be more prevalent on just regular daddy/younger dating sites, but they're on the sugar baby sites as well - I think you've either been exceptionally wise and insightful or exceptionally fortunate to not have been in an exchange with one of these guys. They don't just frequent gay dating sites, either - they're after women as well, often under the guise of being military. These fakers really do their homework with the types of photos they post, but their use of language in chatting usually gives them away.

I think the majority of the ones I've seen were on sites like daddydater.com and silverdaddies.com (silverdaddies is RIDDLED with fakers), but they can also be found on sugar daddy sites like seekingarrangement.com and gayarrangement.com

There seems to be a major infestation of fake profiles on "sugar daddy" sites and on just about any other daddy/younger dating site out there. Usually the profile pics that look too good to be true are the ones I am wary of. They claim to be a red blooded U.S. male and list a U.S. location, but the modus operandi is always the same - an immediate insistence on relationship, and a penchant for wanting to chat on Google Hangouts. I've found that the biggest red flags are lack of facility in colloquial American English, and using terms most American guys would not call another guy, such as "dear." I seem to have hit the jackpot in recent months, but there are really so MANY of them out there. When I call them out, they usually clam up and stop chatting, but some actually pretend to be offended. Another red flag is any guy claiming to be a soldier stationed in Afghanistan - an ex-military buddy of mine told me recently that NO U.S. soldier in Afghanistan is going to have easy access to the Internet, and certainly not for the purposes of idle chat on Google Hangouts. One I encountered recently seemed totally on the up and up, but then asked for an iTunes gift card, which seems to be another pattern among these guys. Anyone else run up against this sort of thing on a regular basis?

Yep - had bought him an air ticket, talked at length by phone with him, even the night before, and he never showed - discussed this earlier in this thread.

I've been off that site for over 2 months now - just curious, what was the screen name of the 21 y/o bodybuilder? I talked with one in Ohio matching that description who seemed pretty genuine/nice, but then again the one in NYC who stiffed me also was very nice and communicative until it came time for him to actually show up. PM me if you prefer not to discuss here....

Both What's Your Price.com and Seeking Arran I derailed any attempt to use the air ticket, since it was JetBlue - put the salvageable amount into Travel Bank, to which only I have the password and sign-in, so option #2 wouldn't work for him anyway.

OK well I'm on iOS 10.3.3, so the lack of a "Delivered" response does or doesn't mean blocked, then? I'm confused....

Yes I believe so, although I terminated my profile and membership on the site after the month was up, so I can't see it now.

Then I'm confused - none of the 3 iMessages I showed delivered, and they're still not - so what DOES that mean? Plus, he had a 2nd (non-Apple) phone and I texted that one as well, with no response.

I think the most likely of these is either #1 or #3 ... I don't think #4 happened because he would've been in touch if that were the case. And as for #2, I don't think he had any interest in the value of a ticket as low cost as what I got him (plus there would be a penalty to use it anyway).

OK so here's one for the books on SA .... I met this seemingly really nice muscle boy in NYC with whom I had a couple of phone calls, one very extensive, and ongoing texting - we genuinely seemed to hit it off well. The plan was to fly him up for a couple of nights starting yesterday. Yesterday afternoon arrives, and I've set up a hotel room for us because my place is not at the moment conducive to hosting a guest. I bought the air ticket about 3 weeks ago and sent him the confirmation. We texted as recently as the night before he was to travel, and he seemed very enthusiastic about coming up. So I go up to the airport to meet his flight yesterday, and he's a no-show. Just before arrival I had texted him what I'd be wearing, etc. and the text was not delivered, I assumed, because he was in flight and his phone was off. Turns out he never even checked in for the flight. And any subsequent texts were not delivered either. I didn't know whether to feel pissed, or worried that something bad had happened to him. Anyway, not a word from him since the night before he was to depart - no apology, no nothing, and since my texts/iMessages never showed "delivered" I can only assume he blocked me. This whole trip was going to cost me more in meals and his "fee" than I could really afford, but it was too late to back out of the hotel, so I stayed there last night by myself, and the hotel staff was decent enough not to charge me an early departure fee for not staying the 2nd night. Plus the air ticket was non-refundable, and since he no-showed, the e-ticket will probably go into suspend (worthless) status so that's a total loss - and even if it weren't, only HE could use it toward some other trip, but it's still a total loss to me. All told I was only out about $273 because of this, so I'm looking at it now as cutting my losses. Any ideas about what could've happened? I'm not going to lose any sleep over this, but still, it was unsettling, as he seemed to be a really decent and responsible guy. Maybe he got a better offer at the 11th hour for the same dates, but when you've committed to someone to show up, the honorable thing to do is to SHOW UP. Seeing that of all the guys I had spoken to on SA, this was the only one I actually chose to make an arrangement with, it doesn't leave me with a very good feeling about that site. I discontinued my "membership" on the site earlier this month. My motto is that you only get one chance with me, especially when your disrespect costs me $$$.

Yes, definitely

Thanks for that - I've been bombarded by messages from Colombian guys - all wanting to come to the U.S. *and* asking for a monthly allowance... not gonna happen.

The big problem with upgrading to read messages, I've found, is that I'm having a hard time keeping up with the correspondence, and God knows I can't be a benefactor to all of them. I've tried to narrow it down to communicating with just a few guys that are particularly interesting to me... I keep trying to remind myself, too, that these are not professionals, and that could spell certain problems that would not exist with a professional, experienced scort.

Well I decided to take the plunge and pay the $80 upgrade for one month's access on the site - and one thing I'm finding out now that I can message these guys back and forth is that a lot of them (most of them, actually) had no clue that it costs SD's that much to even view their messages. They think they're being rudely ignored. So that was an eye-opener. I will say, though, that the subject of money does not seem to come up easily with most of them, which I suppose, in the interest of civility and getting to know someone, is good form, but you *know* that eventually it will come up in conversation...Some of the guys do seem much less "mercenary" than others, though...

So I tried out this SA site recently, and no sooner had I set up a profile and started looking around the site, but it was like a flock of locusts descended on me - I think in a little over a week I have close to 140 messages, all of them unread, because I'm debating on whether it's worth the bloody $80 just to be able to read them. I agree with some of the posts in this thread that it seems like much more of a crapshoot than when you hire an escort, because a lot of these guys just seem to need the money and probably couldn't be less interested in you as a person. The other thing I found strange about the site, is that sometimes I'd see that someone favorited me whom I had previously favorited, and a red box would appear announcing the reciprocity and urging me to "send a message" - so I'd send a message with my e-mail address, but to date, not one of those guys has e-mailed me. I'm assuming that it only "looks" like a message will be sent if you're a standard member, or else the site blocks out any attempt on your part in the message to convey an e-mail address - or else, they're all flakes and won't take the time to even send a brief e-mail! Let's face it, guys, $80 is a hefty price to pay for full access on a website. Also, since there are so many "Premium" level sugar babies on the site, I'm assuming that it costs them much less to have full access? I mean, it looks like they already have more privileges on the site than SD do, because they can send messages. I will admit, though, that it's tempting to pay the $80 just to read all those messages, because some of the guys looked pretty interesting...

From my own experience with Cody, he was very fair with his rates, and he's not a clock watcher. I cannot speak for him, but he's very approachable, so I'd suggest you consult him with what you're looking for in time, etc.

Douching is probably one of my least favorite things in the world to do - usually in the past have used Fleet enemas - removing the saline solution in the container and replacing it with lukewarm plain water. Once I remember telling a guy who wanted to get in there, "but I haven't douched," and the response was "I don't care" LOL - and nothing unseemly happened; it was a quickie anyway. Most DO care, though. I think, though, that unless you do an actual full colonoscopy prep with fast, there's always gonna be a little somethin' left in there - maybe I'm wrong?

Saw Cody earlier this month from his M4RN ad - http://www.men4rentnow.com/gay/escort/male/massage/boston_nh_ny_mevt/CodyDean/328972 - and he was outstanding - really great guy. I posted a review yesterday here on the site, so whenever that is published you will be able to see it.
