I understand that you feel you’ve had a bad experience. I also know that you’ve thrown shade on guys that I’ve had consistently OUTstanding experience with. I agree with @Pensantthat some insight is useful. Disparaging remarks without context are not useful without substantiation. I appreciate you sharing your feelings. Personally, I benefit from knowing why you feel so bad about the encounter.

Ain’t that the truth!

I’ve never had a serious issue. It might be my target profile

I’m not a fan of TMZ as a reliable news source. But they are raising an issue that I think warrants discussion. Diddy Trial Injects Chill in Male Sex Worker Industry WWW.TMZ.COM Diddy's criminal trial exposed the underbelly of the male sex work industry in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and beyond ... and now some male escorts who were...

I don’t think you have recourse nor do Ithink you should fear him coming after you unless you’re not “out.” But even with that, he’d have to put a lot of effort into outting you. posting on this forum is a start. I don’t know if you have the equivalent of “MrNumber” in the UK, but I’ve used that for one hustler that got me here. if you’d like, someone here who isn’t blocked by him may be willing to send him the link to your post referencing his deception 😉 On the bigger topic of deposits, I live in a wasteland. I’m not opposed to advancing travel expenses if someone is going to travel hundreds of miles to see me. And for the provider, I’d expect a good business man to want that. My preference is to actually purchase the plane ticket myself so that, if they ghost me, I can get my money refunded. I’ve had this happen before, but it’s a method that reduces no show risk on both sides.

True. But I do think that we should have a practice of sticking to the facts and how events made us feel rather than risk creating a case for libel that does involve the site. Personally, I’d rather not have my posts (and identity) subject to discovery in due process

It’s sad to see someone flailing around digging the hole even deeper for themselves Mr Regan’s address appears to be an apartment complex. i ran the letter through AI asking if it seemed legitimate and well written. The response: The letter appears superficially formatted like a legal cease-and-desist letter, but there are several signs that call into question its professional legitimacy and authorship by an attorney. Here’s a breakdown: ✅ Strengths (Superficial Plausibility) Uses legal terminology (e.g., “defamation,” “libelous,” “emotional harm”). Lists specific URLs and alleged harms. Uses phrases like “pursuant to,” “cease and desist,” and references legal standards. Provides an official-looking return address and a government-affiliated email (though that’s also suspicious—see below). 🚩 Red Flags and Concerns 1. Email Address Is Highly Suspec [email protected] is a California Safe at Home program address for victims of abuse to receive mail confidentially—not for issuing legal threats. An actual law firm would use a custom domain (e.g., @reganlaw.com), not a state protection program’s email. 2. No Law Firm Listed There is no law firm name, bar number, or contact phone number. Professional legal correspondence always includes firm details and the name/bar ID of the representing attorney. 3. Tone and Language Phrases like “calling him ‘batshit crazy’” and “referring to him as a ‘terrible person’” are emotionally charged and colloquial—not standard in professional legal writing. It reads more like an internet forum defense than a lawyer’s formal cease-and-desist. 4. Mixes Legal Claims and Pop-Legal Terms References to “copyright law” for use of a name are murky. Copyright applies to original works, not typically names or likenesses unless part of creative work. Using the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to request deletion of forum posts is a misapplication of that law. 5. Questionable Claims Refers to a burglary connected to online comments, yet no exhibit or police report is attached. Claiming courts “around the world” have recognized individual rights to be free from “libel on web pages” is vague and irrelevant to U.S. jurisdiction. ✅ Bottom Line This letter does not appear to be professionally written or legally enforceable. It mimics the structure of a cease-and-desist, but key markers of legitimacy are missing. It is likely an intimidation attempt by a private individual pretending to be legally represented

Pray tell who? BTW, I just bought a getaway around the corner from The Corner Pocket, but I’m not spending much time there until summer passes 😂😂

As stated, the grievance is subject to opinion and/or interpretation. Versus I had a bad experience and here are the facts.

At the moment (it’s 4AM), I’m laying next to an RM buddy who’s here for a few days to help me build shelves. On a previous trip, he helped me finish out my garage. Next project: we are going to make real shutters for hurricane protection. We work and play well together

Yes…it works but ever so slightly

It’s a very good read with direct application to risk taking and expected returns on risk

I don’t do drugs, but alcohol makes sex as much fun as trying to play pool with a rope 😂

I’ll let you judge the outcome. In my view, what you see is what you get. How it got there and whether it appeals to you is up to you

Saw him for a massage a few years ago. Nice guy. Good massage. I remember thinking that he was heavier than his pictures but maybe he got back in shape.

The photos are 100% accurate. He’s good at communication. He is vers but is more a top than his pictures may imply. We spent a weekend in New Orleans and had a great time. I’d definately see him again.

He’s a good guy…he’s a rugby player, very masculine but approachable

Haha. I certainly did 🤭

There are many places other than that to hear live country music…much less expensive too

Good for you! Professionalism = Prosperity.

Well, he is new to RM and Lexington isn’t a big market. You may have to TOFTT and be the first review 😉

Maybe…but technically, the credit score predicts the likelihood of a default in repayment (typically defined as greater than 90 days because, under accounting rules you get into impairment requirements - aka, recognition of loss. all the rating agencies have other behavioral based products that they can sell to predict propensity to borrow, but the score is not that product.

That’s the irony…I had very low utilization due to a very large HELOC. Then, I fully funded it to bridge timing on an investment purchase…my score went up when it was fully used. Then, I sold the house, paid it off, had NO debt, and my score dropped 80 points????!!!!
