  1. MODERATOR'S NOTE: It is against Company of Men's Community Guidelines to post pictures of providers that are not publicly displayed in their ad or in a social media profile that is linked to in their ad. The pictures have been removed.
  2. I don't like wasting food, but like @nycman I don't like to keep perishable fresh foods more than a few days. The solution to that dilemma is to buy reasonable quantities. Leftovers get refrigerated after I'm done eating dinner. If I left something on the stove overnight it would go in the trash.
  3. The "guy who says it is a glitch" works for RM, so the truth is the ID upload requirement was a glitch. The fact that it happened to users outside of the USA and that it no longer happens substantiates this.
  4. Retired banker-turned-consultant here. Firstly, @Austin Lewis I'm sorry you have experienced this and encourage you to take the advice you have received here as well as that provided by the associates at your bank. Secondly, I want to reiterate what you have already heard - block this guy's number on your mobile phone, block his email, and block him on RM. In other words, cut off all communication with him. Thirdly, @everyone else, financial institution employees are trained to spot and to thwart (to the best of their abilities) financial crimes like extortion, romance schemes, "sweepstakes," and other such frauds. Regardless of the exact job title, it's part of their jobs to spot these things and a regulatory requirement that they know how. As to "don't all transactions take place using an app?" routine transactions like paying bills, checking balances, and sending small amounts of money using services like Zelle are easily done via an app. Some, not all, institutions allow wire transfers to be requested via an app. However, the wire will be verified and completed using a human being and a telephone call. For decades, institutions have been using analytical tools to flag suspicious transactions for verification. Whether it's called "AI" or "transaction monitoring," it dates back to the 1990's. And to those who question the term "banker," it is a catch-all term for people who work in a financial institution, such as a bank, savings bank, or credit union. You'll notice I called myself a "retired banker." My role was technology oversight and vendor governance director. Despite not being in a customer contact or transaction execution role, I was still considered a "banker" because I worked in a bank.
  5. Moderator's Note: We just merged the three (3) threads about JManuel into one. Please keep the discussion within this thread. We don't need another thread about the same masseur. Thank you.
  6. There are several reasons why an escort doesn't reply to a text. He could be busy, he could be with another client, he could be ill - and more. Many guys aren't available at a moment's notice, either.

    Waymo

    Thanks, @Rod Hagen, for posting this. It gave me a memory jog to post about my experience taking Waymo to and from the airport. It was heavenly! No driver getting lost or cursing out people for blocking their way. The car arrived, I got in, and away we went. Dropped me off at the designated Waymo drop-off point. Similar thing going home. The only oddity was the navigation took the vehicle on a back route to exit the airport. My guess is the typical route (not direct by any means - Sky Harbor has the goofiest roadways) was backed up so it took the scenic route. Still, no BS or drama. Just a ride home.
  8. Don't be afraid to ask! It can be easy to think a professional will just "know" what to do, but the truth is they aren't mind-readers. My approach goes like this: "Hi [name of escort] my name is [my name]. I love what you said in your ad/am a big fan of your work (as appropriate) and would like to pursue whether we are compatible. I like to do [list the things I want to do - this is a good place to include your love of feet] and it is really important that we [tell him what is really important to you]. Do you think you could get into this/do you think we are a good match/etc." If a guy doesn't want to answer or is evasive he is raising a red flag. Give him a second chance and if he is still evasive, consider whether it is time to move on.

    A couple of pics showing police cars and cops doesn't seem like a police report. And no police department would conclude that a burglary is connected with posts on this site. And I love the client name. I don't know of any attorney who would refer to their client by their Rentmen handle. Just when you think you have seen it all!
  10. Moderator's Note: The three (!!!) threads about Bodi have been combined into this one. Please, no more threads about Bodi.
  11. Your belief is correct. He advertised as "Israeli_guy," based in Seattle, on RentMen from late 2020 until 2023 when his ad disappeared. The ad resurfaced under the name "GuyWoof," in New York, a few months ago. He was "Hebrew_furry" on OnlyFans until early 2022 when he took down his page and resurfaced as "GuyWoof" a couple of months ago. On Twitter, he started a "Israeli_guy," then was "Hebrew_furry" and now he is GuyWoof. One of my "likes" is a very hairy, fit guy - front and back and in-between. He checks all my boxes. However, $1,500 for 90 minutes is significantly higher than the upper limit on what I'd pay.
  12. I am not being dismissive of your feelings nor am I being sarcastic when saying this: This message sounds like it came from an abuser who is trying to win back the significant other they are abusing. Unlike the abused significant other, you can easily walk away. Start walking!
  13. Moderator's Warning: Enough with the attacks and off-topic posts. The thread is now locked. Don't carry the arguments elsewhere.
  14. I like some chat before, during, and after. It makes the playdate seem more natural and less transactional. However, a few escorts have endlessly prattled on, seemingly to minimize the time we would spend playing. That is a bug "not OK."
  15. No sexual activity is 100% "safe," with or without a condom. Each individual needs to determine their own risk tolerance, regardless of what a guy's profile indicates, and use that risk tolerance as their guide. As for what "safe sex" means to an individual, the only way to find out for sure is to ask them. For example, there are individuals who consider having condom-free sex while taking one of the meds prescribed for PrEP as being safe.
  16. Members typically post a link to a provider's ad so others know who they are referring to.
  17. Although I have never attempted spirit-making, one of my aunts made Wiśniówka (vee-shnov-ka), a Polish concoction made by soaking sour cherries in a vodka/sugar mixture. Unlike her cooking, it was quite tasty.
  18. I know a couple of escorts who have bounced in and out of the mortgage industry. One in particular was doing mortgage loan processing until the industry slumped and then switched into collections. Once it rebounded he was back to processing.
  19. Perhaps I am missing something, but I don't see where the fitness pole dancers claimed to be sex workers. Perhaps the author doesn't see pole dancing outside of a strip club to be stigmatized, but there are people who assign a stigma to all pole dancing, in or out of a club. As for someone who worked as a stripper for "barely a year" having the audacity to write a memoir about her year of stripping, the author did, in fact, spend a year stripping. I think the author of this piece ought to open her mind.
  20. While ECCO, Robert Graham, and G-star are all different companies, we don't know whether the stores at this particular mall are company-owned or franchises. If they are franchises owned by a common entity then it is possible for the common entity to have a single merchant ID that uses one of the three brands as the description. Real-life example from my past career at one of the first modern wireless companies back in the 1990's. We sold a line of Motorola phones that, IIRC, had terrible reception in some areas. Motorola's solution was to sell an add-on booster called a Surfboard. (They have since re-used the name as a brand of cable modem). In her infinite wisdom, my successor as the payments and financial transaction program manager decided the descriptor would contain the word "surfboard' to differentiate the add-on sales from regular sales. The descriptor was called "AC Surfboard," which was our company's initials and the word surfboard. Chargebacks doubled because our customers in Minneapolis, Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City who bought these accessories didn't associate "surfboard" with "wireless phone." We changed that descriptor rather quickly.
  21. Does the amount of the charge from ECCO equal one of the legitimate charges? If so, the two store could have mutual ownership and the owner uses the same merchant ID for both. FWIW, credit card processors highly discourage this practice as it leads to confusion and chargebacks.
  22. Look closely. He will be in Vegas from June 10 - 13 and then travels to London a month later on July 13.
