To me, paying the cost of transportation depends on the situation. In Phoenix, everyone drives everywhere but a visiting escort might not have a car and the distances can be quite long. In that situation I'd pay for the Lyft/Uber. On the other hand, when a visiting escort who was staying at the Sheraton, which is a block away, couldn't host and wanted an extra $50 to come to me I politely declined. Once he understood I could practically wave to him out the window he agreed the fee wasn't necessary.

No intel but I wanted to compliment you on your excellent taste!

He's had a few names over the last year. he was MuscleEricXXL, MuscleBlondeAdam, and VikingNordicxxl before his current name. There are threads requesting information about him but no real info.

I met him in October when visiting NYC - very nice guy. Great kisser, killer body, and a nice dick. Definitely worth the subway ride from Manhattan.

I watched the first episode and thought it was OK. Haven't gotten around to watching the rest of the show yet. It's interesting that a fictitious name (Vivian Kent) is used for the character based on the author (Jessica Pressler) of the New York Magazine piece while it uses the actual name (Rachel Williams) of the Vanity Fair author who wrote of being swindled out of $62K by Delvy/Sorokin. Even more interesting is how they paint Williams as somewhat of a villain. The real Williams is apparently not too pleased with the portrayal.

Like @Luv2play, I've had a premium membership for several years and think it is worth the cost. I'm willing to spend upwards of $250/hour on someone, so $9.99 seems to be a paltry sum that assists in researching escorts.

To my knowledge, he still lives in Phoenix. I tried connecting with him in Phoenix and our schedules never meshed. He has been using the same pics since I moved here in 2016, so you might want to ask for FaceTime verification.

Yes. I've hired him three times since November 2020 and each time has been a better than the last. He's always been very polite and engaged. Not sure why, but he has changed his name a couple of times since the first time we met.

Just FYI: His ad states home is Toronto. He's only visiting Palm Springs.

"Dino started out in bodybuilding but ended up getting into cement"

"Well, Kip, you keep showing up in shorts to Bobsled Team practice. We're afraid you will suffer frostbite and sue us."

It is in his Reddit profile that was posted above and quoted here:

As a client, I've thought about hiring two escorts for a threesome, not because the one escort is inadequate but because threesomes can be a lot of fun. However, I wouldn't mention it during a session for the very reason you mentioned - doing so can make the escort feel inadequate! I also wouldn't expect the escort to coordinate, unless he had other escorts with whom he did threesomes. Even then, I'd still make the arrangements unless the escort wanted to do so.

Thanks for the link. The garden will be a nice addition to a somewhat hardscrabble portion of the lakefront.

You did. In the first post, IIRC. I wouldn't say you are "soft." I'd say you are trying to do a good deed. However, "good deeds" can come back to bite us. The loss of the money would be bad enough, but kicking yourself (which you would do, just as we all would) is IMO even worse and takes longer to wear off. Stick to the original arrangement. (You pay him when you see him). This reminds me of Not wanting to imply being analytical equates to "devil" Fred, let's just say we have "analytical" @xyz48B and "softie" @xyz48B. Listen to "analytical" @xyz48B.

No, but he is on my list of guys to contact next time I visit.

This paragraph (boldface/italics added for emphasis) does a nice job of summarizing what is not changing: To be clear, there’s nothing new about the duty to pay taxes on income from sales or services. As the IRS explains in Publication 525, the obligation extends even to profits from the sale of personal items or hobby collectibles. So if you buy a rare jazz LP for $5 at a yard sale and then sell it for $300, you owe taxes on the $295 you cleared. I recently hired an escort who prefers being paid by Cashapp or Venmo because he has a record of the transaction. That record can be used to substantiate his income when borrowing money for a major purchase and when he prepares his taxes.

Hard to believe, indeed. So much has happened since then. Wherever he is, I hope @Guy Fawkes is having a grand old time.

Check with your mobile phone provider. Interestingly, when I drive on Interstate 8 from San Diego to Phoenix Verizon sends me texts welcoming me to Mexico and offering a discounted one-day pass to use my phone in Mexico. It happens because in some places I-8 is less than a mile from the border and the phone bounces off a tower located in Mexico. Never mind I never leave the US. My point in mentioning this is your provider might offer you a temporary international plan upgrade.

Supposedly, RM will remove a negative review at the escort's request only when they have few reviews or no other reviews. I tend to believe this is the case as I've seen several instances where a provider who has several reviews has one or two negative ones. Regarding a premium membership, the price affords benefits other than the ability to post reviews. It allows the member to see "semi-private" pictures without requesting the advertiser's permission and all videos. Frankly, I think the ability to see the additional photos is worth the price of a membership.

Prefacing this by saying I don't go looking for red flags and many things that are red flags for others are not red flags for me. This, however, is a huge red flag. In fact, it is more than a red flag. It screams "He is grooming you to give him money that you will never see again." You are falling for a trick that will burn you. Don't do it! I understand how easy it is to get sucked into texting on a regular basis. To me, it is a very bad sign. A couple of things If he seems busy/distracted, then he is. Hard as it may be, try laying off the texts for a couple of days. IMO, the answer to the question "Are you falling victim again?" is "Yes." In my world, "being good to a provider" means "buying him a gift card as a token" or " driving him home from a playdate when his car is in the shop." It doesn't mean giving him money in advance of a date. I applaud your desire to be nice and do a favor for this guy. That's very kind. It is also very risky. My advice is to 1) abandon the idea of giving him money in advance and 2) stop texting with him every day. You mentioned he seemed distracted (although sufficiently engaged to mention money problems). To me, the reason for texting or talking with someone is to develop a sense of engagement. I just don't see how you can develop that with someone who isn't engaged. It might be time to find someone else and let this guy ride off into the sunset.

Thank you all for the reco. Company is one of my all-time favorites. Let's hope it is still open the next time I visit NYC. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Send him over, please.

This is not a criticism of him for getting implants. If the story is correct and he has bicep implants, and the pictures were taken post-implant he should demand a refund.

It isn't unusual to refer to the store as the "pharmacy," but technically speaking the pharmacy is the area of the store where prescription drugs and OTC meds that require an ID are dispensed. That technicality becomes important at places like Safeway that encompass a supermarket, a general merchandise selection, and a pharmacy counter.
