Theatre actors generally make less than 1k a WEEK unless they’re on Broadway!

A family member had a similar reaction when raising her dose of Mounjaro. She’s now back on ozempic (which she had been on first) but it’s not really impacting her appetite or helping her lose weight.

Why would you assume I haven’t done that? I don’t want to get too personal on here, but in a nutshell, I had almost superhuman lung capacity pre-pandemic. Now no matter what I do, no matter how hard I work, it’s still above average but not the same.

Yes, I first heard of PrEP around 2015. I have had allergic reactions or very uncommon side effects (in some cases delayed) to various medications, hence my reluctance to try a relatively new one. I have also received yearly COVID and flu vaccines, and am still generally very pro-vaccine, but my reactions to the vaccines have consistently been worse than any time I have had the viruses themselves (yes, I am aware that that is the point of vaccines, but I am also including times I have had the flu before a vaccine). As for masks… masks are not meant to be worn 24/7; it is just not a natural way to breathe. Going straight from never having worn a mask to wearing an N95 all the time caused shortness of breath, skin irritation, headaches where the straps were, etc. I dabble in an industry where I’m acutely aware of these things, and I’m 99% sure that wearing a mask so much permanently impacted my lung capacity.

I wouldn’t call myself “sexually active” since I do it like 3 times a year, and always use a condom for anal, but I’m not on PrEP because (among other reasons) I don’t want to be on any medications that aren’t 100% necessary. I had been a “mask and vaccine police” of sorts during the pandemic and do think that the vaccines and prolonged mask wearing negatively impacted my long-term health. I’m definitely not opposed to getting on PrEP eventually, but I would have to be in a situation where I at least have the time and resources to be sexually active, and by that point PrEP will have been around long enough for there to be more research on long-term side effects, efficacy, etc.

You’re required to kiss any real-life leprechaun (aka man under 5’6) you meet for the rest of the month 😘

Something ethereally handsome about this man… I hope he eventually returns to NYC!

Yep, when discussing potential activities in advance, I always say something along the lines of “if I top you I would have to wear a condom”. Not to beat a dead horse on here, but I still can’t imagine being anti-condom. And exactly, even if STIs didn’t exist, I’d still probably want a barrier between my dick and the poop 💩

This 100%. There’s a big difference between Gen Z and millennials, but we have to have empathy and understand that this difference is largely due to the environment they grew up in. If this very hot but young provider seems immature, it’s because he didn’t get the socialization that those 10 years his senior did.

Location/ability to host is #1! If I can just drop by his place on my way to or from work (or wherever I have plans that day), that just makes scheduling infinitely easier.

All reviews of any kind are to be taken with a grain of salt… the entire concept of Yelp is that people usually only go on there to leave a terrible or glowing review (some to speak of an experience they had, others who didn’t even have an experience); rarely a good or decent one.

We didn’t end up playing because the activities I wanted to do weren’t a match, but his abs looked amazing. https://rent.men/Soccer_US

Chag sameach… I actually didn’t know P!NK was Jewish!

I can’t really explain… it’s more of a dislike of feet and being barefoot?

Exactly. Just because a guy at one point tested undetectable doesn’t mean he is undetectable at any given moment, hence my psychological barrier I mentioned earlier (I deem it psychological because the same concept applies to a negative test).

Since I’m so inexperienced in virtually every regard, I have a big fear of this happening… like, there are some providers I have seen I would love to see again (and almost definitely will), and I have to actively convince myself to even message new guys…

I’ve never experienced this in any kind of hookup but definitely wouldn’t object to a backwards cap… it definitely gives guys more of a “masc” vibe. But I almost always wear socks… it has nothing to do with image, I just prefer wearing socks and have never been into feet.

Agreed, the scientific knowledge of U=U does not override the psychological impact of knowing someone is (or was) poz.

I have a similar reason as one of the many I don’t hire nearly as often as I’d like… I wish guys (both escorts and guys on Grindr etc) would understand that we can’t just drop all responsibilities and run to play with them whenever we want. Every time someone writes something like “why not come now?!” I am tempted to block him lol.

I spent $660 in 2024 (my first year ever hiring) and about $1200 in 2025. I haven’t spent anything yet in 2026 but intend on spending around $2400… it would be more, but I don’t have the time or funds (recently lost my part-time job).

Taking notes as I go tonight since no way I’ll remember everything lol. This is my favorite kind of Idol episode. Obviously spoilers. Bryant- good but not as Impressive as his audition Keyla- phenomenal Livy- good performance, vocals tonally flat Vika- the combination of “cursive” style and loud doesn’t work Makiyah- great voice! First cut- right choices (as far as I could tell), but wish they would have shown everyone Jordan- perfect choice for him! Madison- risky but pulled it off beautifully! Second cut- both deserved to make it but again wish they had at least montaged those who didn’t so we got a taste of who they were and what they sang Brett and Noah- didn’t care for either of them, glad neither made it Trace- fun performance but would have benefited from a more known song that could show his vocal abilities for this round Roelle- love how she connects to the material! I didn’t notice whatever lyric mistake she made (I have never heard the song before) and the missed note was BECAUSE she was emotionally locked in Hannah- reminds me of Dolly Parton! Not the strongest technical vocalist but incredibly likable. Next cut- pleasantly surprised they put Trace through! Hope if he gets to sing again, he does a ballad. Finally a montage! What little I heard did sound shaky. Philmon- took a while to get in sync with the band rhythmically (and surprised the judges didn’t seem to notice). Great tone and agility! Lucas- great idea to show a different side! What an old soul… very rare that I care for a younger male contestant (especially in a more “country” style) on these shows but he’s great! Carmen- I knew we’d get drama from her! Her voice is too light for the song/style. Next cut- right choices, wish we could have seen Kira. Abayomi- killed it! Michael- meh, I liked his audition more and surprised he made the cut Khloe- better songwriter/musician than singer. Not ready for this competition vocally Jake- reminds me of Rod Stewart… seems to have a limited range but very polished Chris- like Roelle, connects beautifully with the song… this is a skill that can’t be taught! Wasn’t blown away by his audition but loved this. I didn’t get the criticism of the arrangement after he left the stage… maybe they said that after a different singer and the editors spliced it there? Chloe- speaking of arrangements, this was a great one! Seemed a little low-energy but great voice. Braden- excellent choice! Would have loved to hear him play a bit more with registers/dynamics but what he did was great! Ooh, I love the cliffhanger! Hope they get to do some duets at some point.

I have never encountered this as a client but used to have similar things happen on Grindr (in NYC) all the time. I would get near a guy’s place and he would block me the second I asked for his exact address, apartment number, etc. My favorite was when a guy didn’t even block me but said his intercom must have been broken and asked me to come back (like two hours later)… come on!

Totally; it’s much more functional on other [unrelated] message boards than here, but I will sometimes bump if I am surprised by a lack of responses.

Prior to meeting, I never share my phone number or picture, but do share my real first name and accurate stats. While meeting, I do pretty quickly feel comfortable sharing any relevant information in our conversation. I won’t divulge the name of the place I work, but I will share what industry it’s in, what other industries I’m in, etc.

Welcome! Bump/bumping is a common message board term meaning “bring up my post”, or “bump this post to the top so people are more likely to see it and respond”. MF usually means MasseurFinder on here (depending on the context).
