Asterisk

He's married, has a kid. 2 million followers on IG, 300k followers on YouTube. He is a 27-year-old professional bodybuilder. There are piles and piles of bodybuilding pics, competitions, and championships that he's won. Maybe not your cup of tea (nor mine), but plenty of others.

His socials show him living in Sao Paulo, Brazil not Prague, Czech Republic. And Brazilians speak Portuguese. So I'd guess the person with the account is not BF (part of whose name and title can be seen in pic #3. I agree -- not AI, but also not photos of the person running the fraudulent account.

Ad is gone.

Did you report him to RM?

Welcome to the forum, Bbobbit!

Agree, please post link to the provider. The Deli is to discuss providers, including to warn hobbyists about bad news bears.

Think he's retired from the biz... doesn't seem to have checked into RM in over two years. 😕

Any objective feedback to share? Or simple lack of compatibility?

In the Deli, at least, there's a toggle next to the "Start New Topic" green button in the upper right corner.

Do any of the other users know if there's a way to change settings so that when viewing topics with "Preview" mode on, the most recent post is previewed instead of the initial post? It'd be great to know if you're just seeing a "Bump" message, or in the midst of a flame war, or whatnot!

Most pics uploaded in 2017. Might be time for a refresh?

Anyone know if it will travel? Would love to see, but won't make it to NYC before it closes.

Absolutely agree. It's a surprising and thought-provoking place.

Sure to namechange, but review regardless!

Depends what you like, but Max Arion is funny, smart, political, handsome. I'd happily spend some time with him again. Can be found on Instagram (@maxarion_thepony), Twitter, and OF, for sure.

I lived there for many years, and agree it is uncommon, but have enjoyed time with a Jewish Brazilian as well as two others who had adolescent circumcisions because of phimosis. Uncommon, but not impossible.

Youth. Don't they realize that when they're 60, they'll no longer be able to waste the beauty and youth of their 20s? And that they'll have to pay for that youth, like all the rest? That the 20s of that year won't care for their bygone glory?

Already gone.

Was more a topknot when I met him, and suited him. I absolutely disagree with @tonyward, but taste is subjective.

Does anyone know why this thread is here, in the Deli, which is "an area to discuss providers," and not in Questions about Hiring ("User-to-user help related to our hobby. Get answers from fellow members and providers!")? If you alert Moderators (thank you, Moderators!), the COM default reply just says the issue has been addressed, but doesn't explain what happened or the rationale. (And I get it -- I wouldn't want to respond meaningfully to every little gripe!) The Deli seems to be cluttered with some threads "related to our hobby" but not about "providers" (this one, "$500/hour", "I pissed this escort off", "Is anyone worth $1000 an hour?", etc.) -- does "Questions about Hiring" not get a lot of traffic, so they're plopped here? I like reading the Deli so I can hear what others think of specific providers, but some of these topics make me hope: "maybe the refurb will allow me to mute some topics?" (Acknowledging: I can just skip over. But then again, I can just skip over entire fora that don't interest me, so the fora exist for a reason!)

Rather than harass a content creator, I'll harass the group! Anyone know if LewisSurv provides more than content? https://twitter.com/lewissurv He's got Insta and OF at the same name.

Thank you, @MikeH10!

It would also help maintain confidence in COM. (Please note I'm not talking about the initial, non-COM convo with provider: I think that's a legitimate topic here. I'm talking about the "cut/paste of the note XXX privately sent ... on Thursday here on this site.") Posters regularly suggest direct messaging for details. If I provided details privately, and the user turned around and reported that DM to the group, I'd feel a confidence had been betrayed. To me, DM is like private correspondence, the forum is a "town square." I'm surprised that exposing a private COM conversation is permitted, at least so far as it isn't causing or conspiring harm. I'll be careful not to share anything privately that I wouldn't share with the entire group.

He ... has nothing else to prove with faceless gutless posters.

Is that his rate?
