I was in a similar situation and everyone I know did the same thing you described.

That may be the difference in our perspectives. Yours comes from how the news was presented. Mine came from living it as a long term employee of the government, living and breathing 24/7 what others only regard as the nightly news.

Thank you for telling me my views are distorted.

I know and understand what you’re saying. Perhaps one’s outlook depends on one’s age. I am past looking for new jobs. As for listening to rumors, I guarantee that that is not what I do. I live in the DC area where what is happening is very real, close to home, and in the news daily.

A lot of guys only want cash.

That approach certainly works in normal life but in today’s situation, saying “I can’t change that” only works if you aren’t touched by what is happening (privilege). If your relatives or employees are being rounded up, you health isurance is at risk, or you job is in danger, I don’t see how one could say “oh well, can’t change that. What’s for dinner?”

I’m bi and do both. They each have their appeal. Fortunately I’ve found a couple of guys who have been willing to do both with me.

Sure, meetups of forum members do happen. I recently had a great session with a provider who is also on the forum and lives in my area. I reached out to him on CoM via DM, then arranged details via text. I think a lot of forum members also meet during Palm Springs weekend.

A new target for South Park.

I think his tool is in front of his sack.

I use my regular phone. I have no illusions that it is secure so I try to avoid putting anything compromising in my texts. I vet possible providers very carefully and only hire for incall, which ensures that both of us are discreet. If I were hiring for meetups at a hotel, I would use some kind of anonymizer.

I hire because I no longer have any intimacy in my home and I still crave physical touch. It’s easier to hire to get it than it is to find it elsewhere.

Welcome! A lot of us started the same way. Glad you took the leap.

I like to wear a huge gold medallion on a heavy chain. When I wear it with my sea-green polyester leisure suit with the top 3 or 4 buttons undone, it looks particularly hot nestled in my dense chest hair.

We also need the “why” of who hates whom. That’s the juicy stuff.

I wonder if the zoo has a dispenser by the lion enclosure where little Johnny can buy a hamster to throw to the lions…

You’re right, we can only control our own behavior. Unfortunately , it’s sad to have to accept that this forum can be the same cesspool as the rest of the internet.

Several people have mentioned ignoring the offending posters but on a forum like this—small and geared toward people with common interests—is it unreasonable to ask for some level of tolerance and civility from all members? Yes, there are a lot of assholes on fora throughout the internet who revel in the anonymity and freedom to post whatever vitriol they want, but we don’t have to be like them. Scrolling and ignoring are good options but what’s wrong with expecting ourselves to meet a higher standard when posting and commenting?

While we’re discussing adding characteristics to Rentmen, perhaps the penis size should include elaboration on how it was measured.

Excellent points. I suspect there are community members who refrain from making original posts or even commenting because they know the mean girls are just going to make them regret it.

Glad you’re back. Thanks for your hard work in keeping this valuable forum alive!

My feeling is that, if most of what is currently happening in the world and being reporting in the news is not affecting your outlook for the future, peace of mind, and mental health, you are either enjoying your privilege or happy with what is going on.

I think I need a trip to London!

It can get you going from zero to sixty really fast! I got it from someone who is nowhere near Detroit and I no longer recommend him anyway….

I’ll be interested in the providers’ views on whether this is a hint. The clearer signal might be when you raise your hips when his hands start exploring your upper, inner thighs.
