I asked a somewhat related question a few months ago: I always pay in cash and I actually want them to count it in front of me for all of the reasons (and a few more) mentioned above by @BuffaloKyle. Nonetheless, all of them either just leave the envelope on the table or stuff it in their pockets without even opening it. I honestly won’t be offended if they count it (I tell them so each and every time). I just want to make sure everything is accurate. But I guess they all trust me.

The normal range appears to be 300 to 400.

Luckily, I still have not experienced this myself. I'd be pissed if this happens to me too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like expired profiles have limited/restricted picture & video posting capabilities. So the users are not able to advertise as effectively. There needs to be some significant disadvantages to discourage people from letting their profiles expire.

Really? What if that person is impeccably hot, reasonably priced, and checks all your boxes except for English fluency? I agree that if he can't even carry out basic dialogues and has to rely on translation apps, then it will be a major turnoff for me too. But what if the English is comprehensible with basic vocabulary and perhaps just some broken grammatical structures here and there? Is that still unacceptable to you? Oddly enough, on a separate note, I find certain foreign accents very erotic and arousing, especially when the accented and/or foreign words are uttered uncontrollably at the peak of activities. That actually somewhat incentivizes me to learn his language to understand what he just says to me...... 😉

OMFG. I cannot agree more, so much so that I wouldn't mind if they can set up the answers to these CRUCIAL questions as an autoreply. In fact, a handful of the providers I've met did exactly that during my first-time inquiries (i.e. all these info were given to me without me asking). I'm not kidding when I say that it greatly improved my desire and decision to hire.

Of course, whichever method that ensures the maximum compliance rate is the best method. Plus, I'd say most people prefer a tablet to a needle stick.

Its official website is overloaded with info for both patients and scientists / healthcare providers (https://www.yeztugo.com/ and https://www.yeztugohcp.com/) Here's the info for the drug depot: https://www.yeztugohcp.com/innovation#drug-depot Clinical trials show 99.9% effectiveness: https://www.yeztugohcp.com/efficacy That may be the reason why some researchers go as far as claiming that if this drug is widely available and used, it can play a significant role in ending the HIV epidemic. This sounds like a far-fetched idea, but who knows?

One of the notorious & common side effects of Yeztugo is the development of a firm lump/nodule at the injection site that can potentially last up to a year. @ICTJOCK: do you notice the lump/nodule after the pain subsides?

This has always been my struggle. Which is riskier, leaving my stuff in my car that is parked on the street or keeping my stuff with me when I'm inside the provider's home/hotel room? To me, both options are equally risky, for different reasons.

Speaking from personal experience, I have met providers who are listed as "safe only" but engage in 100% BB activities with me without any discussions (and no upcharges either). I was shocked the 1st time. When the same scenarios happened again and again with different people, it kind of became the norm. In a way, I'm now conditioned to believe BB is the default standard unless specified otherwise in person (regardless of what's listed on the RM ad). You may need to make it explicitly clear because many clients, like myself, may have also been "trained" to think like this.

I have a strong feeling that's where you stand even before your reply. It never hurts to hope for the best and pray for miracles to happen, but sometimes, we have to accept reality at face value. Time will heal. As suggested by many, many other CoM members here, the easiest and quickest way to get over this is to find replacements on RM. New hires can potentially help you forget about him after a few appointments.

There are a few possibilities with your relationship: He leads you on to take advantage of your financial support — luckily, this did not happen. He proactively steps away from you romantically — is this easier for you? You proactively step away from him romantically — this is what we discussed. You switch everything to a platonic version of pure friendship — this will require a lot of effort and will power from you. You stay in a “murky” situation and hope for one day, something strikes him and turns him to see you differently (i.e. romantically). After all, you said he told you he wasn’t interested in a relationship right now, but he could be ready for one tomorrow. Are there other possibilities that you wish for? The real question is: which one do you prefer?

@Heartnet24: I think you know the answers yourself. We all do. You just need someone who's more detached and objective to affirm your perspectives. It will likely be a long, hard, and perhaps even painful process. At least you should be grateful that he's not leading you on. I wish you the best of luck.

What exactly did you mean by this statement? Are there absolutely no sexual and monetary involvements now? If so, who initiated the friend-zone discussion? I can’t help but assume that it was him. In that case, the answer is quite crystal clear. Am I understanding this correctly, that he's SEXUALLY active with everyone but you after the friend-zone declaration? Like everyone else has mentioned above, no really means no. I really hate to burst your bubble, but you will very likely end up hurting yourself more if you continue to allow your fantasy to fly. Maybe it would be a good idea to ask the therapist how to turn your romantic feelings into platonic ones.
