Well, I speak Spanish. If I can get a few names, what area it is that you are referring to, maybe a few links to their profile, I can communicate with them. Info, please.

Run for congress as Republicans.

For a response to see if there's any sign of life or interest, 24hrs. For me to start looking for another provider, between 1-2 hours.

In my experience, that is just all across the entire gay universe, not just in this industry. Dismissive, undecided, full-of-it assholes are found everywhere in any industry that is service oriented. What I'd suggest is that is a person has wasted your time in the past, don't continue wasting your time entertaining him or trying to make a point. There's absolutely no gain on your part by doing that. Personally, I don't have to have the last word in every interaction. I can ghost, ignore and move on without having to explain things to people. That same thing happens in dating and trying to meet people online. For example, last year I met a person online who was going to coincide with me in Barcelona. I proposed to meet and share a drink at a bar. I thought it will be great to meet a friend in person during vacation. We agreed on a date/time/place to do that (he actually suggested the place). The time was 10pm. I showed up at 10, he was nowhere to be found. I still had a great time, I shared with other people I met right there. Left the place about an hour later. The next day (get this), he told me that he was there at 8pm and left at 9pm, and went back to the place at 11:30pm. I'm sure he's a grown up man, so I don't have to explain to him what 10pm means or how time works. I just moved on. When he saw no reply from me, a day or two later, he sent me another message wishing me a good trip. Who knows what was going through his mind that he decided to purposely stand me up like that. Don't know, don't care, the important part is not to waste time entertaining people's games. Another time was some guy I was dating way back when. I had something to do on a Saturday at 2pm. I told him that we can talk before 2pm or after 4pm, that I wasn't available between 2pm-4pm. That was before the popularity of mobile devices, so I had an answering maching at home. When I came back home at 4pm, there were about ten messages from him, getting nastier as they progressed, and they were all left between 2pm and 4pm. That last of those messages said things like "Why are you doing this to me?" Again, I didn't waste time entertainning nonsense. I was done with him right then and there. Our word and your time are valuable. I personally do not get involved in arguments over other people's nonsense. Not having the last word is not as important as my own wellbeing or my valuable time.

I gave no more than two tries in one conversation. If I keep getting one-word responses, I just move on. Sometimes I don't even end the conversation, just simply move on. To me that's a reflection of what I could expect in a live session, so I don't bother. Not once have I gotten any follow up or anything after I stop.

Yahoo News? Good God. I consider it the Esquire of online news. That's nothing compared to the "articles" I've read there that sound like they were written by an 11 year old whose first language isn't English. For real, I gave up with reading any "news" from there due to their very unprofessional reporting. Not only their article have terrible spelling, grammar and punctuation, but they are very sensationalistic and misleading. At some point they decided to do away from comments because it became an echo chamber of hateful remarks. I believe that they have commenting back. I'm not surprised that they act that way. They just can't care less.

Hello. As a client, I have to say that it's possible to become successful at the business as a masseur without a certification, especially with your prior experience. However, a certification that can bring you to a high level of masseur quality will be useful to get the type of client that looks for a massage only, or a massage with extras where the massage part matters most. I think you have to look at the kind of clientele and reputation that you are interested in establishing as a masseur. Do you want to be known for the extras, for the quality of your massage, both? From a business perspective, you can make money out of bad quality massages, but your clientele will be different. It is my opinion that some providers of massages don't hold certifications and do mediocre massages because they use it as a cover for escorting, or due to lack of knowledge, thinking that a massage is just some easy rub with some kind of cream. In USA, massage certifications varies from state to state, so a good course and certification requirements in your state (I assume that you are in USA, if not, something similar might be the case in your locality) can help you with becoming a quality masseur. There are only a handful of massage prociders that are excellent without any formal training or certification, so that's possible, and I guess that you should also look into your own current ability to learn and know the human body in that respect.

Definitely not an expert in bottoming, but(t) being in the business of learning, I can recommend the book "The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Men". Right away, I can tell that if you don't bottom then try an oversized dildo, there might be an issue there. As for "the right one", yes, I think that's a real thing. The times I've bottomed has been because the right person has led me to it, not because I deliverately want to. Not an expert in bottoming, but an expert in learning, and as such, I'd say look for good, reliable information resources on the topic, that is in addition to info from people who are experienced.

I agree. Those details count. At the end of the day, we don't hire them for their IQ.

My experience with overpriced providers has been with younger men. I attribute it to lack of experience. However, I do know that there are some overpriced and some who might be worth the price, but I'm not willing to pay that much. I know prices go up, that's inevitable, but the prices of some providers are a little too high, unrealistic in some cases (IMO).

It's not very common for police to pose as gay masseurs. I've never heard of such thing. Always err on the side of caution and listen to your instincts. If it doesn't feel safe, pay attention to what makes you uneasy. Hopefully the masseur you chose is professional and trained, so you have a good setup and experience. Best wishes.

It's unprofessional in an escort setting. In a massage setting, I think that some providers use the massage thing as cover for escorting, hence the upselling for additional services. I have been offered additional services for additional charges, and I have said no since I am satisfied with what was agreed, and he did delivered what we agreed. I have also said yes, and got a little more escorting type of service in addition to the massage, and I have been ok. Otherwise, like Simon mentioned, not upselling some extras might be underpriced escorting. There's no absolute rule for any of this, so it's not easy to standarize the practice. However, an escort interrupting a session of what it is already expected and negotiated, to just ask for more money is not only unprofessional, but it gives the provider a bad reputation, In these times where communication is easier, reviews are available and places like this forum exist, it's just bad enterpreneurship for providers to incur in that practice.

Short answer, yes. Some clients are too sensitive. What I believe is up for discussion is the reason for it. Some people are not fully confident about hiring. Some struggle with all the feelings that come with hiring an escort. The reply from the client might have nothing to do with neither the location nor the provider. Who knows what's going on inside the head of that person. The possibilities of the feelings behind the reaction are endless.

Or else!

Personally, I can't care less about any aspect of it. She's not shocking to me, by wearing a jockstrap, I'm not shocked by people who are offended or outraged, and it's far from the gayest thing I've ever seen.

Saddest thing is that the idiot girlfriend that he's living with probably is laughing at the whole thing, not knowing that she might be next. Or she might not be aware of anything and just either looking the other way or seeing and hearing only what she likes.

His profile desription is minimal, and he lists incalls for $25,015,030. A little out of my budget.

Bump. Has anyone seen him?

Happy Valentine's day!

Because he's entitled to manage his time as he sees it fit. I am no expert in exercising, but I do know that having a steady routine for working out is best to ensure that one maintains the body properly, body that BTW is giving him his clients. Think of it as times when businesses are closed to clients for staff training or maintenance. That is his training and maintenance time. That should be respected. It's not that he's rejecting you (assuming that he's expressing availability at a different time).

At least in the late 90s and early 2000s when I lived in NYC, it was pretty much the same there. I used to call it "Bottomland" (not a critique). Same thing with me, I used to call myself an "existential top". Not that I was complaining, but the vast majority of the guys I dated or hooked up with were bottoms, some quite strict about it. Even one or two of those guys who can't shut up about being tops, I ended up shutting their "not exactly their mouths".

I took a screenshot and look in the lower right corner. Is shows "Versatile". I hope this helps. Have fun (if you decide to hire him)!

Haven't had the pleasure of meeting him, but wanted to point that his profile says that he's versatile. He might bottom for you (or me).

I don't know about other men's particular desires/reasons to hire, but I don't think that there is some kind of contractual obligation for people to sign to be a top, bottom or versatile. People's predilections evolve, sexuality is fluid, they are in a business where they are to make money based on what sells, I mean, the reasons for them to "become" of one role to another are endless. Yes, feeling better about their bodies, or developing bodies for the purpose of selling themselves as tops is also a good reson for them to do it. Kudos to all of them. The more they provide the more clients they can have. I also know that to many gay men, theirs and the role of the person they are with is trated like religion and politics; they are very strict about it and want nothing to do (some have actually become hostile) with people who don't meet that particular criteria. There's no right/wrong answers. However, IMO, the more narrow and specific one is, the less the possibilities of finding people who cater whatever requirements. The role that they are willing to play when I hire is what matters to me, not what they have done in the past or will do with others. Just my opinion, not law.

Now it's a priviledge having experienced that. I wish I had the opportunity.
