former lurker

His friend's rates say nothing about him, except to give an idea about someone who he can work with, and whose abilities he justifiably admires. I get that a lot of posters find IVLHV to be too expensive, and that they make all sorts of statements about "better” guys (unnamed) for much less while those who actually did see him uniformly found him exceptional, and consistent with this provider's description. So, I'd say your rant was not only long, but it really failed to demonstrate "constradictions" or anything to suggest the add is misleading. You don't like the other guy's rates. Don't hire him. No need to manufacture controversy because you think a guy is overpriced.

If you read surrounding posts, you'll see that "bumchucket” link is to an account of the poster, not the person discussed by the poster.

Correct. He was on the Tyra talk show. In threads like this, it would avoid confusion to be specific about who we're referring to in a specific post.

That's happened a lot recently. Several brand new posters, each either promoting an lightly (or un) reviewed guy or trashing one.

Hooboy ran the site effieciently. Reviews posted 7 days a week by 6 am EST. Any deviation was usually due to acts of god as in a tsunami and loss of internet connection. There were no lengthy breaks without explanation or an announced duration.

So you are suggesting we falsely review someone we've not met based on your word. When a client thinks a provider has falsified (or just removed) a review we go nuts.

I also got an RM chat from him. Said he was new and looking for clients. I didn't reply in part because I found it odd, and in part b/c we are not located anywhere near one another.

I'm assuming Cariolis is writing about Hooboy. I think his background was in radio, but others no doubt know more. My sense was that Hooboy didn't need or take money from the site.

IIRC his only link to the crimes was living in the same apartment as his lover and having access to the computer on which the lover kept porn with underage boys.

It was Hooboy who did that, not Daddy. Daddy took up the cause/site when Hooboy passed.

Or isn't trying to fool us.

How much his ad costs.

Huh? No mention of a deposit or advance. Also, you've misquoted the ad text. He clearly says available on certain days before 10 on short notice and w/o an appointment, but requires an appointment for after 10 pm because he usually turns phone off at 10 pm.

I don't think so. The tattoo is positioned mostly under his arm. In the pics where it's not evident that's likely because of angles of shots, etc. It's also possible the tat is recent, although he doesn't look older in some pics than others.

Did he remove the pics you describe?

Guys like Gabriel have good reasons to include some older photos so readers can recognize them from whatever point in their careers they've seen.

Ive met him. He's a great guy. Handsome, charming, unassuming. Tops will love him. I do, even as a bottom. He's just one of those guys who makes you feel good about knowing him.

My hometown, modestly sized, had a fair share of high profile murders. One involved a husband who killed his wife after they were separated. They both worked for the town, and gave up those jobs to become subsistence farmers. When that failed, she was able to get her old job back and he was not. He waited for her in the parking lot at her job, killed her, then retreated home and cowered in a closet until police came for him. The other cases were even more interesting. It's so strange to me that a place I always considered to be quiet to the point of being boring harbored such events.

Now you're forum name makes sense.

Both the time and the transport cost the escort. If you think those cost are negligible, go to them and bear those costs yourself.

The rationale for charging more for an outcall is the additional time to travel to/from the session.

Agreed. It breeds some resentment among the class of hirers, however, because the object of their desires don't really need them to support them financially. It does make you wonder why some of these guys continue to advertise on RM if they really only want scene partners. I suppose it's just a forum for them.

Perhaps I was unclear. We each perceive subjectively. There may be an objective "ideal", but each or us has our own sense of whether someone matches that, comes close, falls short, etc.

I agree that we are subjective. Your "not classically handsome" may be my "classically handsome". I tend not to think of pretty and handsome as interchangeable. In Ivy's case, I found his features quite handsome, proportional, great eyes and lips, nice facial structure, etc. And I found his body to be a wonderland. Plus there's how he uses it.

His ad, at least as of this am, suggest he is. He lists anal and fisting. But asking/specifying is always a good thing. Confirm those things with him, not us.
