Yes, he is! I’ve been with him and 2 others for a week and he and I will part ways in Charlotte on Sunday. There are a number of awesome guys, but this one also proves himself a great travel companion who plays well with others. He’s educated, smart, refined, sweet and sexy as hell. When he assumes the pose - and the other two unnamed companions agree - he IS Michaelangelo’s David (with smaller hands and bigger *ahem*)

My Dr suggested it. I pushed back due to horror stories - but he suggested that the horror stories were high dosage experiences. To me, the horror story is that continued results require continuous use - and for discretionary purpose, the word “addiction” can apply And yes. You are in fantastic shape and look considerably younger than you are!

That’s unfortunate. I’m on a trip right now with three guys - each of whom I’ve had 5+ trips with (sometimes with two of them together - but this is the first with all three) and I’ve felt just the opposite - knowing each other’s preferences, we all seem to be trying harder to find and capitalize on the “sweet spots” - intellectually and physically.

Have you had a good experience with anyone you’ve had on MB? If so, you’re one of the few

Mint boys are low rent low expectation. I’d encourage to to seize the upper hand in the dynamic and wait for him to follow up. If he’s still interested, it’s time to push him to clarify the expectations with more precise definition. You are turned off, you should expend no additional effort or reach out until he’s established equilibrium for you.

We shall never know the answer perhaps. But the question itself conjures need for caution.

I’m 10 weeks in on Mounjaro. Weight loss is good - 192 to high 170’s- went from 2.5 mg does to 5mg dose. No improvement in rate of weight loss, but for two days after the shot, my gut is in turmoil and the sight of food is repulsive to me. I’m stepping back down to 2.5mg

No surprise…his cute wit comes out @CuteBlondeBoy DirtyBlondeBoy LightBrownBoy or CuteBlackBoy…I don’t care… my favorable comments stand 😉

@CuteBlondeBoy and I are in St John for a week with a couple of other forum members and I just want to underscore - regardless of what you think his hair color is - that he’s adorable when he sleeps 🥱 😴 😉 IMG_5903.mov

On a serious note, I’ve never heard of shigella until this post (and last night’s foursome proceeded as planned) But, while I understand that symptoms can be severe for compromised people, how serious is this? If an antibiotic resistant strain in contracted, my research indicates that it will still run its course in days. While this doesn’t sound pleasant, isn’t it manageable?

Well so much for tonight’s foursome 😳

Like some of the many others that already exist??

In this case, I’d suggest the application is that this client did not wake up that day thinking “who’s time can I waste today” but, whether through poor composition of the message, simplemindedness, angst, fear, uncertainty, inexperience, etc -that was the result. As @SecretProvider implies, I hear from other guys that in the first two texts, they can tell whether someone is serious or not. I believe that to be completely true. In this case, it did not develop into endless texts or requests for pics etc…but those are the ones easy to spot! The challenge is responding in a manner that meets them where they are - uninformed, scared, inexperienced, etc - and gets them talking…then they probably have a client for life IF the provider has the time/tolerance to develop the lead.

As a user experience, we know RM is mediocre. It underscores that it’s equally mediocre from a user security standpoint. I will say that, from a standpoint of responding to issues on specific profiles, they seem responsive at the webmaster level

Oh, yes you do. His glutes are awesome too!!

Nothing went wrong. It wasn’t meant to be.

My present situation in St John with three of my favorites, one of whom (remaining nameless) joined us for dinner. My legs are second from the left

@SecretProvider, I understand your frustration. Please be assured that, in my 42 year financial career that included being both a newbie and getting my picture on a billboard in Times Square, I encountered plenty of time wasters. Just like the prospectors of old, sometimes you dig a hole that comes up dry and sometimes you strike a rich vein of ore. This is not unique to your business. @marylander1940, I’m curious…I doubt this was your encounter. Where’d this come from.

May I suggest you do a study of Hanlon’s Razor? It’s eleven insightful words that I bet you could learn a lot from in your business especially bringing more new clients into the hobby in counterpoint to your assertions above: - the client admits being new in the space, - I don’t see any indication of discourse that would have provided ‘jollies’ to the client. Could the client learn more about writing with the reader in mind? Sure, so could 80% of Americans… but the provider in this interaction could have done a few things better as well

Then I shall win the race after decades of cycling

Personally, I try to do all my “what about me’s” and “what I’m into’s” in the introductory message. At that point, they can assess if it’s a match for what they do and logistics questions can develop from there. These labored and drawn out inquiries over multiple texts (perhaps over 30+ minutes) seem tedious and easy to sidetrack when responses overlap

Bullet dodged

Perhaps. My grandkids aren’t old enough to play that one yet and decades dim the memory 🫣🤣

I think it was Professor Moriarty in the library with a candlestick

It’s not a dating app. Worst thing is they don’t respond and you move on. Or, despite your age, they engage anyway and engage with the strength of your wisdom and personality
