Not accepting cash or credit card is not a surprise, but an inability to charge your account at the HOA IS a surprise. We did that all the time for nominal amounts (think replacement common area keys, re-programming the call box, and our periodic parties and barbeques) when I was on the board of my HOA. I'm assuming this barbeque doesn't cost thousands of dollars per head.

He previously advertised as MANLYSTUD (that ad is still up, actually) and was discussed in this thread. I hired him twice and enjoyed myself both times. Feel free to DM me for details.

Vile doesn't even begin to describe him. Take a look-see at this. Pond scum, slime, and the American Association of Motherf***ers have all protested when their names were used to describe this creep.

You are welcome. I was not taught that loan is never a verb and working in banking we use "loaned" all the time.

According to Merriam-Webster, the use of "loan" as a verb entered the English language in the early 1300's. While you are correct that "lend" is a verb, "loan" is also a verb and has been for more than 700 years. Following is an excerpt about the history of the words: "It begins with Richard Grant White, a grammarian of the 19th century, who in his book Words and Their Uses, Past and Present declared that loan cannot be a verb at all, but must be a noun, because of its etymology: "The word is the past participle of the Anglo-Saxon verb lænan, to lend, and therefore of course means lent." Alas, poor White: loan is actually not the past participle of the Anglo-Saxon (aka Old English) verb lænan. Loan, both verb and noun, came into English from Old Norse. It turns out that the verb loan had fallen out of use in England during the 18th and 19th centuries in favor of lend. (Lend is the earlier word, dating back to about the 11th century, and comes from the Old English verb lænan.) But loan as a verb survived in American English, which hadn't kept pace with the changes to the language that were happening in British English. British English speakers noticed the verb and decried it as uncouth and provincial—it had to be if it was in the mouths of Americans. This dislike of the verb loan carried over into the late 1800s, though by the time White wrote his book in 1870, that dislike had become unhitched from British nationalism. White just happened to couch the generalized dislike in something that looked like scholarship. His prohibition on the verb loan spread far and wide, even after his terrible etymologizing was debunked, and persists to varying degrees today. Bryan Garner, in his 2016 Garner's Modern English Usage, Fourth Edition, writes that loan as a verb to refer to money "has long been considered permissible," but loan as a verb to refer to things is not as permissible. This in spite of the fact that the written record shows that loan has regularly been used to refer to things for almost 400 years now."

@whatsthefuss, I suggest you ask your friend to sign up and post a question in the "Ask an Escort" section about how best to start an escort practice. However, they need to be careful not to violate the Forum rules against using the site to advertise without advance permission. In fact, as a new member you might want to are strongly advised review them too. They can be found here and by clicking the word "Guidelines" at the very bottom of every page.

Let me start by saying I am not trying to be a smart-ass with what I am about to say. There's no reason to worry about worry. Stop worrying and find someone to hire! I think you mean "stereotypical." There is absolutely no "prototypical" client type. I started hiring when I was in my thirties because I had no time or patience for the bullshit associated with finding hookups. Ask some of the escorts who post here. They will tell you they see men of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I've never hired an escort with a friend and I don't think I would do so. I am not sure why having a friend along would take some of the pressure off. If your thought is the escort could be disappointed by you alone and having the friend along would satisfy the escort, just remember who is hiring whom and why. The escort is there for the client (you), not the other way around. That's not to say the client should behave poorly, treat the escort rudely, or do things that the escort does not want to do. BTW: there can be bullshit to be had when hiring. If/when that starts, move on. My advice to you is the following: Get a clear picture of what you want out of the playdate and find an escort who can help you get it. Get to the root of your concerns. Look at the escort listings and make a top three or four list. Ask members about the escorts you find attractive. Talk/text/email the escorts and explain what you are looking for, your experience level, and your concerns. MOST IMPORTANT: relax and let yourself have fun.

One would think so... Might be time for him to re-think that strategy. Of course, he could be going after hot, sexy septua-, octo-, and nonagenarians. 🥰🥰

There aren't a lot of guys who have his look (i.e. there's a limited supply) and if there are enough clients (i.e. more demand) he might be able to command a higher than average rate. Or not. At least he's putting it out there.

Agree. A couple of other things jump out at me: The face in the tank top picture is so small that you can't tell whether it matches the other face pics. While the other face pics are of the same guy (you can tell by his right eyebrow) they appear to be f different vintages Notice there is no last login date. That's the Friendboy equivalent of an expired profile. All that plus the warning makes me say "pass. "

Providers who use this logic to justify high prices will learn just how unsustainable that price is and how much damage it can do in the long term. There are new content creators every day. As they become legacy creators their popularity wanes and they no longer make $750 for an hour of content creation. Then, they can no longer justify the high hourly rate and they have to decrease their rates. Unfortunately, there are always new escorts entering the business and long-term escorts who have built great reputations. At that point, they become the TJMaxx of escorts.

Back in the 1980's I worked for a large bank that used "they" and "them" in place of gender-specific pronouns when creating instructional materials. They were an outlier then but 35 years on that has become mainstream.

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like a way to collect email addresses.

There's no sense trying to figure out the unwashed masses, darling. Just appreciate the attention and let them bask in your fabulousness.

@Unicorn, I asked @RadioRob to look into the problem. I was able to start a thread with Edge (like you)and can see you were able to reply to an existing one. Just got my computer back from being repaired and haven't installed Chrome and Firefox yet, so I can't test those yet. Let's see what Rob finds out. Thanks for letting us know 😀

Anyone who has followed this Forum knows that several of us already have.

Popularity doesn't necessarily mean everyone LIKES you. It just means they read what you write. 🤣😂🥰

My interpretation is he is filming with other people who are located in the travel locations.

I don't see anyone named "Sharon" or "Karen" here. 😛

@Leyte2019, you are thinking of Men4RentNow, which has been defunct for several years. This is a different site with a similar name. I was able to do some limited browsing without providing information. They ostensibly have more than three thousand escorts in Phoenix. That's just not true!

He is also hurting escorts who are actually looking for clients. If a client wants to hire someone and reaches out to him, they are probably not going to engage another escort. He doesn't get back to them (because he isn't looking for clients) and a real escort loses the client who is waiting for him to reply to them.

I've been trying to place the guy because he looks very familiar and then I remembered - he looks like a guy I hired several years ago in San Diego. The guy started advertising there again early this year, albeit with a different profile name. The experience wasn't bad, but it was odd. I think this is the same guy. He was not charging $750 an hour, though.

Moderator's Note: The posts about the other Gio have been split into a new thread to avoid confusion. If there are any other masseurs named "Gio" PLEASE start a new thread. Thank you

We really ought to add "Supreme Being" to the lists of achievements. Let me talk to @RadioRob about that.
