PhileasFogg

Ask him about it 😉

For those who inquired and/or sent me messages, AshtenSky does not plan on renewing RM but he has opted to join us on Company of Men as @Ashertyson69 Please welcome him. In the last month I’ve seen him once in Atlanta, once in New Orleans and we have a weekend planned in New Orleans in the near future. I’m sure he’d welcome private correspondence welcoming him to the forum. I’m definitely a fan! He’s beautiful, easy to talk to, energetic, and a lot of fun.

You may want to clarify that you’re looking for “a” coke can dick

Give him space guys…he’s refining his business model and asking questions

No body truly likes their business until they work the kinks out and it’s humming along. just because his involves hummers doesn’t make it any different.

Don’t for one minute think that it doesn’t happen on RM

I understand. In my world, we call this business development and regular clients are made by offering excellent service consistently. There is always “startup risk and cost” in opening new markets you are building a book of business. The better you are, the faster it comes. Then, all this other stuff takes care of itself. You are getting an MBA with every challenge like this. It’s just real and not academic

I get your issue. But I’d look at it this way - when you have a regular or two to cover your fixed costs, any other appointments are profit. THAT’s what they mean

When I met him, I was exhausted. But he was patient and stuck with me. Was very kind, carried on a great conversation and made an all around pleasant time despite my exhaustion.

As previously noted if you’re failing to align expectation and outcome in a personal encounter, it’s probably an education issue. My activities tend to be overnights or weekends. So, I always schedule a video call of introduction to be sure we are in sync but also to discuss mutual wants/needs. It’s generally worked very well.

You post YOUR picture and I'll let you know

Yes, but it's traditionally older supporting younger. I think the question is "how much is enough" when all other personal expenses are covered.

My mother dropped me on my face as an infant

“Athletic guys”….thats funny! But my doctor did just say I’m in really good shape “FOR A MAN MY AGE”…jerk!

Well, with my offer of $801, you also get PhileasFogg…a bargain at any price…

I’m willing to offer $801!

Good point...on the surface, it doesn't impact state taxes without state level legislation. I think the technical accounting term is PITA P ain I n T he A ss

Technically, this is an overhyped benefit to the working guy. fICA is still due, most tip payers are on low marginal tax brackets anyway, so you’d have to be declaring huge taxable income and tips to reap much benefit.

He’s a great guy and fun to be with

He changed his name from Joey_Kiss. I’m a big fan

Well, that cuts both ways… it’s a risk of the business model. Token deposit, sure. But if someone wants a hundred or more up front is probably 50% chance of no show.

Other than sexting to arrange plans, I have no need unless the provider wants to communicate. About a year ago, I had one guy who kept trying to engage me in texts with leading comments. Then I’d respond and he’d say “hey, I’m gonna need $50 if we are engaging like this” We had several appointments, I always wondered if he’d ever show - and I ultimately cut my losses (time and financial) and moved on. I subsequently learned his reputation in the NOLA market isn’t good at all. So I see sexting for $ in advance of a meeting as a huge red flag In my view, good providers receiving a fair price should view reasonable amount of foreplay as part of the business model. I always promise that I won’t bother them with endless texts or promises for freebies but the good ones are willing to build anticipation

I agree there are plenty of situations where “the customer is always right” simply doesn’t hold. But in the moments when it does surface, it’s usually because the power dynamic makes it so — he with the gold tends to set the tone, for better or worse. That said, whether provider or purchaser, one truth applies universally: the Dowager Countess had it right — “vulgarity is no substitute for wit.”

I am not in a position to comment on anyone else’s experience, but I can speak clearly about my own. I’ve known Angus for over a year and we’ve traveled together multiple times — two weekend trips (Nashville and New Orleans) and a weeklong trip to Iceland (I took that profile picture of him at sunset in the Icelandic igloo) Across every encounter, he has been consistently patient, intuitive, respectful, and completely attuned to my comfort and preferences. One moment in particular stands out: when I was exploring whether bottoming might work for me, Angus was the first person I trusted to even try. He stayed patient throughout, listened carefully, adjusted when needed, and handled everything with a kindness and affirming tone that I genuinely appreciated. After 20 mins of coaching and effort and barely just getting his rock hard head in, without even an iota of frustration, he finally said “Phileas, let’s face it mate, you’re just a top and that’s OK” I also noticed I am his 69th five-star review on RM, and I see there is now a 70th. His track record of satisfied clients reflects what I’ve experienced repeatedly — professionalism, care, and consistency. He’s bright, well educated, intuitive, and has a disposition to serve I vaguely recall seeing this post weeks ago and thinking, “This doesn’t resemble the Angus I know.” We all process experiences differently. While I didn’t comment then, I’m glad Angus had the opportunity to respond with factual context so prospective clients can see the full picture. That’s my experience, and I offer it simply as another perspective in support and affirmation of this remarkable young man.

I like giving AND receiving
