Funny, but he eventually agreed on Zelle.

I had a similar experience several years ago. Guy wanted to meet in public, which was fine with me. I sit at the coffee shop waiting and waiting and my guy hasn't shown. I got up to refill my coffee and an older gentleman sitting near the counter looks up and said my name. I acknowledged who I am and asked him who he was. He was my date. He was supposed to be 45 (I was 36/37 at the time). There was no way the guy was 45. 65 maybe. He was indignant when I explained things would not work out and mentioned the picture discrepancy. There's a SoCal masseur who has been using the same pics since circa 2000. Of course, I can't locate his ad offhand but when I do I'll post it.

Tell that to the two 27-year-old provides I see who prefer cash. I did something similar once. Provider asked if there was a Chase ATM nearby. It would have been a mile-long walk down a very trafficky but not well-lit street so I drove him.

Yep. That's been a common practice for decades.

Thanks!

Moderator's Note: A couple of things: No name-calling. One post has already been hidden. Any others like it will also be hidden and warnings will be issued. There has been a rash of multiple posts about the same topic/provider. We've combined several of them and ask that members please limit the number of posts to one (1) per topic and/or provider.

He has an older 1-star review that stated he ended the session after 10 minutes, that is after he came.

Did you hire him or meet in a non-provider social setting?

A provider's number of reviews doesn't sway my opinion of him. The rating a provider gets does matter. Here's something to think about: Not every client leaves a review. There isn't much correlation between "number of reviews" and "number of sex partners." The guy who has six to ten reviews likely has met a similar number of clients as a provider who has fifty if they have been escorting for a similar length of time. In my experience, as men get older their lifetime number of sex partners increases. How is this a red flag?

Reading the rules one quickly realizes the FTC is targeting the companies that are being reviewed, not the medium to which the review is posted. They are also not targeting individuals who write reviews. I suppose one could file a complaint with the FTC against a masseur who wrote their own review, but how would you know? And do you want the FTC messing with this hobby?

I think the "gay pack" is more stereotypical than it is typical. However, your point still stands - not everyone has a large friend group. THIS! I've always had a few very close friends and value that over a large group of superficial "friends." Somewhat, insofar as I don't have a huge group of friends. On the other hand, I really don't because I recognize that having a "pack" is not my thing.

Here's the Wikipedia page that addresses the various meanings behind the three-finger hand gesture. There's too much to summarize and still do it justice. COM (Company of Men) members used to advocate requesting a three-finger selfie as a way to obtain a candid, current photo. The popularity of this hand gesture nullifies the value (what little there was) of the request.

This is the answer.

I, too, found a regular who had posted to this forum. He has since retired, but we got together several times while he was offering his services.

He has had several personas over the years and has been discussed here under a couple of them. Here's a thread back when he called himself JC-MuscleandTats and another when he was Jason XL. EDIT: But wait! There's more! Post from 2021 in which a member described a not-so-5 star experience. The general theme was "don't do it."

I use TunnelBear and have encountered no problems. Tried both The Netherlands and UK.

Damn

He and I chatted a couple of times about meeting but couldn't make timing work. Very nice guy.

I experience dry orgasms when I haven't been drinking enough water. Generally speaking, I spout a huge load.

For years and years I've experienced "dry orgasms" and no orgasms at all. It happens. When it does, I just explain to the provider that I don't always have an orgasm or have one with no cum and that's that. If it puts your mind at ease and makes you more relaxed to inform the provider in advance, then do so. A simple "Hey, just to let you know I don't always cum. If it happens when we are together, please don't think I'm not enjoying myself. That isn't the case." will do.

Moderator's Note Enough already. Pizza's here.

This is what I tell my family back in Chicago, where I grew up and lived until I was in my mid-thirties. As I always say, you won't spontaneously combust in Phoenix (or Palm Springs), but you WILL get frostbite at some point in Chicago.

124 degrees is an anomaly. Palm Springs' weather is similar to that in Phoenix, where the typical high in summer tops out at 110 - 115 degrees. This is how I describe the Phoenix heat in Summer: Under 100 degrees: beautiful weather. We all have our car windows open. 100 - 110 degrees: tolerable. Above 110 degrees is pretty miserable, and you want to stay indoors during the day. As @Vin Marco said, you get accustomed to the heat. You also get accustomed to the nice weather all winter. It makes up for the summer heat. As we say "you don't have to shovel sunshine!"

When I am looking for an erotic massage I ask for one. (e.g. "Hi, [name of masseur], I see you offer erotic massage and I'd like to know more about that and book one. ") Nine times out of ten we have a discussion about what that might entail.

I've been charged less than the advertised rate for a variety of reasons, such as: Being "grandfathered in" to a rate when a guy raises them. The provider enjoyed spending time with me, and I booked for more than one hour I'm not a creepy, degrading, asshole (his words, not mine) My communications are clear, concise, and strike the right tone (I've heard this a lot) I treat the provider as the human being they are, not as an object ordered from Aazon I used to hire a guy to suck him, worship his muscles, and me rim him. Also swallowed his cum. He charged me his massage rate because it was me doing all the work (which was more than fine with me!) Guess it was an "enjoyment benefit."
