Pretty much is a dealbreaker for me. I’m not going to risk reaching out, investing energy and time in inquiring, and have the guy have a queen hissy fit and meltdown. This screams drama and self importance…

…first, apologies if this topic has been discussed before. I tried searching for various ways I might talk about this, but didn’t find anything (recent) specifically about this. Behold. From an Instagram story of a guy I follow. My experience has been dismal getting guys on IG to reply to DMs. At least he’s honest about not replying. But his honesty goes the next step: “I only respond here 👇🏻 “ pointing to his OnlyFans. Which made me think two things: 1. How likely am I to get a response there? 2. Instagram and other socials are simply for driving traffic to his OF, which in turn makes money. Together, those two thoughts make me think that there’s little-to-no hope that this guy is serious about providing a service but rather is seeing thirsty guys as a source of income. Full stop. That might be my cynicism, but it’s how I feel. What are your thoughts? If any…How many guys actually have quality interactions in this kind of setup through OF? And I have a hard time believing that it ever becomes something worthwhile. The guys that advertise personalized content on their OF also make me really skeptical. I would much rather pay for time together than pay for mediocre personalized porn after a paywall…

I haven’t known them to flake, but these other characteristics I’ve experienced.

I’ve considered that too… I have a vacation lined up for August with a guy. The vacation is already paid for. And the fee for the escort is accounted for. But after this vacation, I’m uncertain. I have an arrangement with a guy for more frequent hookups but I need to pay the plane ticket. I don’t know what that market will look like.

🤔 🤨 🧐

To your point, no—they shouldn’t be on Grindr. I do understand answering messages about upcoming appointments, but that’s work. While with you, you should be the primary focus unless something else is arranged in advance.

I had a guy I took on vacation who was on Grindr the whole time. At one point during the vacation, I had an appointment with the resort (it was a promotional trip aimed at getting me to buy a timeshare – it worked, but different story). When I returned to the room after the appointment, there were indications that there had been an attempt to hide evidence of me and the bed had been hastily remade. I never consulted him about it, but I feel 98% certain he had a hookup while I was gone. We only met up once more after that as he had changed from the attentive escort I first met into a self-absorbed wannabe fashion businessman.

Yes 🤣 * *Truth: no…

My father made me start wearing a tshirt when we went swimming when I was about 10 because of my weight. I never gave it up until I started hiring guys and doing so away from people I knew. I would wear a tshirt in the Atlantic, though, either way. It just seems right irrespective of weight.

You can decline it for whatever reason before it arrives.

Isn’t that sort of the point?

I was fortunate in high school, despite my weight and sexuality, not to get made fun of. I was too useful. I was smart and if the straight jocks wanted to copy my work, they couldn’t piss all over me. My brains made me valuable. Further, if…if I hired a straight provider, I’d be bending over for him 🤣

@Alabastrine, do you have some cocks?

It’s still a solid model for a market under healthy circumstances.

I’d be curious to hear your concrete, fail-safe measures. Why don’t you start a thread in The Lounge? I’m sure people would chime in.

So…I just reread this disaster 😂 I was halfway through a bottle of Johnnie Walker. A bit clearer now, and boy…that’s a doozy! 🤣

I concur with all this except “pretending to be busy makes them more desirable.” As soon as a guy tells me he’s busy, I lose a lot of interest. I don’t care that you’re busy; I’m busy too. It’s called work. Remember that saying? If you want something to get done, ask a busy person to do? Somehow busy projects figure out how to get shit accomplished but people who talk about being busy are unreliable.

Hmmm 🤔 🧐 @CorporateShark has six posts and they’re all in defense or support of BigBoyLA, or they’re condemning critical reviews; and one really seems to know a lot of details (disparagingly presented to boot) about a reviewer. Could it be that BigBoyLA is @CorporateShark?

Might I qualify that just a tad? The quality supply.

They sure do! I’m still waiting to learn from any of them how they keep so busy all the time but never seem to have enough to make ends meet…
