My dad had very sensitive skin and he found all free-and-clear to work well.

I've been a Rentmen member for many, many years and have never received emails from them except for the monthly note confirming my membership payment was successful.

No, @Kevin Slater, it was Paul Bellsy.

Thank you, @friendofsheila. I was just about to ask whether it was him who used the toilet tank cover to beat the girlfriend.

Apologies for being late to the party, but I find Mrs Meyers laundry detergent to not rinse very well. Seventh Generation Easy Dose works well for me. One little squirt is more than enough.

To me, the client did not need to grab a knife. Once he got off the table, he could have asked the masseur to leave. While I don't condone the masseur's alleged actions, I don't think the client reported all of the details.

I am so sad to hear this, but I appreciate your letting us know, @TruHart1. She was certainly a salty, caring broad. 48 is way too young.

If I was in your position I’d send him a note describing what you are looking for and ask for his thoughts. In fact, I do that when a guy does list his “intos.”

TunnelBear works equally well on Mac and Windows devices. Here's a link.

I ask a lot of questions and listen not only to the answers but the way they are answered. I also trust my instincts. If my instincts say "avoid" I avoid, no matter how physically attractive a guy is. One thing to keep in mind about reviews is they are based on the experience of someone who is not you. Their experience can be vastly different than yours. As I've said in the past, some of my most lackluster experiences have been with "forum favorites." The guys who received a plethora of over-the-top reviews and about whom the most minute criticism would be met with disdain and disbelief.

While I don't mistrust reviews, I don't think the absence of reviews is a red flag. There's a host of reasons why clients don't post reviews that are unrelated to the provider, including discretion, lack of awareness, and simply not wanting to expend the effort. Likewise, a lack of discussion here isn't a red flag to me. While the membership base is large, it is a small proportion of the client population as a whole.

It is disappointing to read about these bad experiences because they are the opposite of mine. However, people change over time and that change does not always result in continuing improvement. Yet another reason to seek recent feedback on providers.

When Michael West is working again you might want to check him out.

I hired him while he was visiting Phoenix a couple of weeks ago and will definitely hire him again. If I lived in San Francisco, he lived in Phoenix, or had visited again I'd have already hired him for a second playdate.

I always fill up in Yuma when traveling from Phoenix to San Diego and in Quartzsite when traveling to Palm Springs. BTW: The lowest-priced Chevron in Phoenix is charging $5.21 for a gallon of regular gas.

I had a couple back when I lived near downtown Evanston, IL in the 1990's. The first was at the Jewel-Osco supermarket near my apartment. Ran into the same guy a couple of times and finally struck up a conversation waiting in an interminable line. Turned out, he lived down the street from me, so we brought our groceries home and met for coffee. Every so often we would grab breakfast or coffee or go for a walk together. The second was at Whole Foods. A guy bumped into my cart while I was picking out cucumbers, then at the carrot display, and then the meat department. Each time he made a double entendre. We ended up walking out together and when we got to my apartment building, he made a comment about putting away the groceries. He came upstairs and we, ahem, put away the groceries. We hooked up a couple of times after that and never saw each other again.

Vegas_perfume is a relatively recent name (I believe he changed it in Jan or Feb 2022). Previously, he was vegas_reputation and a couple of names before that. Here's a thread on him as vegas_reputation which has links to conversatiom about him under his previous names.

I've contacted providers a couple of weeks out when traveling with mixed results. Some guys reply right away, while others don't. When I'm trying to book that far in advance, I don't follow up again for a week or more.

I thought there were other threads about him, but this is the only one I could find.: https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/113597-rusproathlete/#comment-1482035 In short, not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Not sure why we need a reboot of this show (or most others, for that matter). I watched the first couple of seasons and then grew tired of it and stopped.

There are a few threads on him: Thread from 2016 when he was called "medjock" Thread from 2020 Thread from 2021

Not always. I had pneumonia when I was in my 20's. Thanks to having chronic asthma, I nearly landed in the hospital. It took weeks to treat. Back to the topic at hand, this is very sad news.

Back when he went by Steven Shea there was this thread about him.

He previously went by CALEB_VERS. Here is a thread about him under that name. There's some info at the very end of the thread.

I just checked a half dozen or so guys in Phoenix and all of them had phone numbers listed. Might have been a glitch, as @DWsoccer suggested.
