all good replies above.....
I'd also hold off on money talk until a second contact.....as suggested, associate money only with time......
in my first contact, I accurately describe myself (brief stats, age, etc.), say that I'm interested in a low-key two-hour meet, mention no smoking or drugs, ask if they host or not, and ask if they have questions for me.......keep it to-the-point, polite, professional.......they'll probably ask what you're into in the reply and you can get specific at that point.......it is hoped that their first reply is more than the dreaded one-word answers like "s'up" or "when?"......look for guys who at least try to write in full sentences and answer your questions......
go thru the other threads linked upthread here....lots of good advice in those......keep the communications brief and only when necessary......no giddy daily "hey" texts allowed!! 😉
