Preferring younger men - I’m in my 60’s -I admit seeing so many who have such awesome potential if they can just channel these early, high earning years into productive investment and not consumption. I took the typical “corporate track” where I earned more in my last 5 years than the previous 35 years combined. BUT, I still saved 1/3 of my income when I was young and show the benefits of that today. Yes, ALL these young men are worthy of respect. Yes, SOME of these young men will grab this opportunity and spin it into gold. No, not all of these men will break a cycle of poor behavior passed from their circumstance or upbringing. But those same guys will simply not have a base of repeat customers that made the “base” that some of the guys named earlier built their security and stability on.

A sentiment many of us - being honest - would share 😉 you’re going to be F I N E

As a bi-sexual male: - you are overthinking it, but that's not unexpected - be comfortable first and foremost - a little make-up is nice, but don't try too hard to be something you're not. - if you're concerned about being found attractive or not, you should hear the stories from some of the providers about the clients they've seen. Be clean, be confident, and you'll be just fine. - on hygiene, remember, as a woman, it's not just about "above the shoulders" nor is it just about "shaved" or not. If it's been a while, consider the obvious area it seems you may want a guy to focus on if he's exploring below the equator. It's a little awkward when things smell jungle-like before the equator and many women aren't aware of it. - it's not a fashion show...you both may want to put clothes on the floor as soon as possible. consider no underwear - or at least no panties

I did choose the third link. Everyone was referred to as a "pornstar performer" and the heading said it too. Do you know for certain there are some clients among the list?

Well, I did that for Ann Arbor and all the profiles seems to be providers and not clients. I'm not a provider. When I did it for Nashville (my former home), nothing like that came up

Maybe…so much for discretion though.

Yesterday, I got a text message from an RM guy - that I've never met - announcing that he was going to be visiting the city I used to live in - Nashville. Needless to say I was surprised. I don't subscribe to RM (although I do have a user name that I occasionally use) I'm honest and transparent with guys I meet about who I am and I don't use a burner phone. I also don't delete texts, so if I'd communicated with him, I'd have a record. But this guy simply isn't my type. I looked the text message number on MrNumber and he has two entries: "Sketchy escort who claims to be on prep and negative? Be Careful" and "Brunnofit charges too much for service that was slightly below mediocre I mean come on really..." His RM ad uses a different number and has 5 MrNumber reports with 3 of 5 less than flattering. Sooooo, I've blocked his number - BUT the question - how did he get my number?

I stick to connection. Usually judge by initial correspondence and what follows. Can you share who your experience was with so we don’t make a mistake?

Yes. And I’m still the real preppy

Tardiness and lack of communication.

Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs to find a prince. keep the search going. You have nothing to lose in the search

I personally think that his challenge is traveling right now and not staying in OKC…but that’s a guess. I wouldn’t discourage that as long as long as you kept your options open.

I have just moved. My last PCP sent out a questionnaire asking this and my new one did as well. frankly, to note my bisexuality in by writing is welcomed manner to me since I’d probably not have reason to discuss otherwise except for requesting my prep and regular STD testing.

Well, it’s finally happened: I hit an 850 credit score across all three reporting agencies. I’ve hovered in the 750–840 range for years, but never quite made it. Interestingly, the biggest difference-maker — beyond the standard responsible habits — was paying off my credit card balances weekly. It’s essentially my modern twist on the old envelope system, helping me stay intentional with spending. Honestly, I’ve followed my credit score more out of curiosity than necessity. “Good enough” has always been good enough. But I couldn’t help noticing something strange — my score seemed to increase when I felt financially stretched, and dip when I was feeling cash-rich. And here’s the kicker: I just paid off the last of my debt last month, but the update hasn’t hit the bureaus yet. Still, the score hit its peak. Bottom line? My financial habits haven’t radically changed through the score’s ups and downs. It’s a reminder that while credit scores attempt to measure financial health, they often lag behind reality — and sometimes tell the wrong story altogether. Yet we still treat them like gatekeepers. Curious to hear if others have noticed similar quirks.

I’ve found that extended engagements (overnight or travel) are best planned with an introductory video call rather than texting. Maybe, while promising to keep it to 10 mins or less, this would be a good strategy to assess mutual willingness in achieving your goals? A pro would likely say “sure.”

I agree. It’s one thing to share a factually bad outcome. It’s quite another thing (and potentially libelous) to accuse someone of being a scammer. as @BeefyDude says, it takes two to make a scam work - so shame on me too. I’ll simply share my actual experience factually and let the listener decide. They will get their justice in due time scamming someone not nearly as kind as me.

Any word yet?

Me too. I’m not engaging a man servant. I’m engaging a companion whom I want to feel like is getting something they want out of the trip too. But that also means I have to choose someone who knows how to act in these kinds of places

As nice as I want to experience myself

It seems to me that the review addressed that for another client and they didn’t act. Right?

Personally, I always like the idea of Facetime - particularly for overnight or multinight

Update: I’ve been a fan and promoter of this guy for some time. Not anymore i think he’s a good guy but his poor communication habits came to a crescendo today….in a way that unnecessarily cost me a lot of money. buyer beware.

Those are some VERY old pictures. 2016?

You have to look very closely 😂🔎

Here's my concern for the guys I interact with regularly who are good guys, take the experience very seriously, and support themselves comfortably: I will intentionally try to avoid politics in this comment and stick to the basic economics as it relates to discretionary spending: the market is a leading indicator or economic activity measured by GDP consumer spending is about 68% of GDP a cycle occurs, when consumers feel less confident, they spend less (their spending is 68% GDP) and this fuels a cycle of reduced GDP when consumers spend less, their biggest control is on discretionary spending - and - ahem - for many, these services are necessarily discretionary. Now let's go to the other side: weak economic circumstances may force many to pursue "alternative sources" of income supply and demand would mean that, all else equal, more providers with reduced demand means lower prices or reduced schedules. I see all this as interlinked and providing a potentially bleak short term outlook for our friends on the provider side. Having said all this, I believe that a well situated professional provider will stand out from the crowd and maintain a full schedule - albeit, probably with a little less pricing power. But who knows - maybe I'm wrong and the markets will bounce back this week.
