He was last online today (7/7) so there's a good chance he will be renewing.

The use of "they/them/their" in professional writing is nothing new. In the late 1980's, my employer (a large bank) used they/them/their because using male pronouns was sexist and using he/she, she/he, or (s)he was awkward. They also used gender-neutral names in training materials and advertising. This wasn't political correctness; it was a deliberate business move. We were inclusive when competitors weren't, and we benefitted from it by attracting customers. This was also not a Millennial or GenZ-driven phenomenon. (Many weren't even born yet). Our senior leaders at the time were in their 40s, 50's, and 60's.

There is a "Report a Bug" function within the "Navigation' menu group. To get there, do the following: Navigate to "rent.men" and locate the hamburger menu ( ) in the upper-right corner of the page and click it Locate "About" (Last choice on right side of menu) and click it Locate "Report a bug" (Fourth item on the list) and click it Describe the bug. They have addressed a couple of defects I have reported (presumably I'm not the only one) including the issue with pictures being displayed too large to be seen on-screen and profiles showing up as not found on the mobile site but displayed on the website. They do not seem to have addressed the issue of anyone who logged in more than a few days prior is displayed as logging in "a week ago." In one case, it displayed that for a provider who hasn't logged in since 2015.

No one, client or escort, should assume anything. Unless your profile says "I can't host" it is perfectly reasonable for a client to ask if you can host. It is also perfectly reasonable for you to say "sorry, I can't host" and leave it at that. My approach is to articulate what I like to do, the area in which I am staying (Hilton Union Square, Hilton Financial District, etc) or live (Downtown Phoenix) and whether I can host. Case in point. I recently traveled to Santa Cruz, CA for a wedding and I wanted to hook up with an escort. I told him I could travel to him in San Francisco or host in Santa Cruz. He very politely stated he could not host and did not have a way to travel to Santa Cruz.So we didn't meet. No harm, no foul, no drama.

I wouldn't think ill of him if he politely declined and offered a reason why. However, there is no reason to get hostile. You made a statement of fact. This is easy for me to say because I did not receive his hostility, but he did you a favor in the end.

You might want to check out a site called The Best Flex. Most of the guys do videos and Skype shows, but some say they are available for meetings. You can filter by country/state. There are a few guys here in the US.

I've used Wilexa since it first came onto the market and it is every bit as effective as Advair. Ask your doctor to allow a generic substitution when they write your next script.

I wish Madonna a speedy recovery. Bacterial infections are not to be fooled around with. Haven't cared for her since the Material Girl days, but I don't wish her ill will.

My brother was very concerned that a charity was trying to take advantage of my dad. It was purportedly a "veterans' charity" that had a name similar to a legitimate veterans' organization. One of the "veterans" (a retired Admiral, no less) kept calling my dad asking for money and would go on and on about my mother, who had just passed away and who supposedly had supported this "charity." (She hadn't. It was the legit one she supported.) My brother called me in a panic one day because my dad had been on the phone with this guy for almost two hours. I called my dad and asked what was up with the charity. He told me that the Admiral was very nice and sympathetic. I asked him for the exact name of the charity, and he wasn't sure. He thought it was the same as the one my mother supported. I asked him to get their name and tax ID number the next time they called. So, he asked for the info the next time they called. Sure enough, it wasn't the same charity. I asked my dad to let my brother or me know when something like this happened again or, at least, get the name and tax ID of the organization. The "Admiral" never called back. We avoided a potentially expensive scam.

The grass is always greener...

I finally got around to reporting it late last week and it was fixed the same day. Today I reported the issue where escorts who logged in more than a few days ago are listed as having logged in "last week." One of the guys hasn't logged in since 2020. Let's see how long it takes them to fix that.

FYI, his current RM name is EDWINXL

Captain Obvious here. When an escort doesn't reply by phone, WhatsApp, RentMen DMs, or any other means, you aren't going to hire him. I've never met this guy, but my gut tells me that if he did respond after all of this time and you did get together, you would have a lackluster experience. Methinks it is time to move on.

I did once and will never do it again. I just love hairy balls. However, if you must, use a fresh razor blade. Don't use a trimmer or electric razor. They are baaaaaad news! Since you failed to search the forum, you will receive two demerits and a red "X" in your permanent file. X Of course, I am kidding. There are no such things.

I understand taking a pass on hiring someone when their ad mentions an OF page. It seems like such ads are placed to drive business to the OF page and not to see clients in person. (At least that's been my experience.) However, the presence of a link to a Twitter page is a head-scratcher. Can you simply not click on the link if Twitter pages ruin the fantasy for you? A big red flag for me is when a profile spends line after line telling prospective clients what not to do or say and devotes little or no space to what the escort actually does. "Ask me" doesn't alarm me, but "I won't tell you anything about me" does.

Moderator's Note: Whenever you question what you can vs can't or should vs shouldn't write, the best approach is to ask a moderator. You can do so by posing the question to the Ask a Moderator forum. Please keep in mind that we are a handful of volunteers and do not have an army of call center agents standing by to answer questions. IOW, answers aren't immediate.

They seem to have redirected "app.rent.men" to "rent.men," but instead of redirecting to the specific page they are redirecting to the home page. That's really sloppy. There is also an issue with the way pictures display on Windows computers. Interestingly, I couldn't locate "report a bug" on rent.men v 7.0 but was able to do so when I reverted to v 6.0. Like I said, sloppy.

I'm almost 100% confident it is a glitch with RM. When I followed the link app.rent.men/scottyboii, I was redirected to rent.men. I tried following an app.rent.men link for another provider, the same thing happened. When I tried rent.men/scottyboii, his ad displayed.

Friendboy.pro, from a client's perspective, is a bare-bones version of Rentmen. I've hired a couple of guys who advertise there. I've also seen crossover between RM and FB. I find Mintboys to be full of profiles from guys who haven't worked in a long, long time. They acquired the remains of HourBoy, which wasn't exactly on par with RM, either. Regarding a lack of competition to Rentmen, years ago there was men4rentnow.com, meetlocalescorts.com, HourBoy, and another whose name escapes me all existed alongside Rentboy. That didn't stop Rentboy from having more ads nor did it give them an incentive to create a better site. RM, et al, serve a niche. Typically, one does not find a ton of competitors for a niche business.

I have not seen a decline in the quality of the escorts I hire nor in the quality of my experiences. What I have seen is a drastic increase in the number of guys who are escorting. As the population of escorts increases it is natural that the population of not-so-great escorts also increases.

Thanks for reporting back, @UpAndDown333. Do be sure to complete Form FU-FM-666a, in quintuplicate, detailing your experience. Retain the mint copy, place the buff copy in the manilla folder on the table, and drop the original plus the goldenrod and salmon copies in the drop box next to the door. Please don't mix up the buff and salmon copies. It throws everything off and we cannot have that. I jest... It's great to hear you had a good time and successful meet. I've wanted to hire him for a looooong time, but when he was in LA I wasn't travelling and when I started travelling to SoCal he moved. Maybe I'll have to make a trip to Music City.

I vote for stopping use of and the worry about "woke" and "wokeness." If you don't like a performance (for whatever reason) don't watch or buy tickets for it. It's really that simple. Know what else is simple? Knowing when to stop replying to messages and STOP ATTACKING AND FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER. Consider this to be a moderator's warning.
