Finding a simpatico traveling companion or group is difficult. So many times in a burgeoning relationship….travel will come up and get scheduled. I always say (only half jokingly) “Well, NOW we will see how we get along!”.

I’m lucky that I have a good traveling companion at the moment, and have been lucky over the years. But, I’ve also experienced some of the uncomfortable trips @soloyo215 mentions too.

In SoCal real estate and food & beverage industry they’ve been dubbed “Dead Lobster”.

I see side as different from oral. Do I have this wrong?

You may not have it wrong…but the urban dictionary link clearly included “fellatio”. My understanding is everything vanilla leading up to but excluding penetration.

I’ve been ambivalent about starting “Baby Reindeer” but will trust @Cooper and @SirBillybob and give it a go.

Is this an old or new rule?

It’s not really true. You can bring lithium batteries in certain devices if they are marked properly. May vary by country or airline?

I use high end trackers for monitoring boat/ship movement and carry them on, check them as luggage, etc. but all with a warning applied as to what kind of lithium battery they are. Label for flight I use below:

 So I am old. I am okay with my looks and my life and I find an occasional  night out at a bar checking out men I will never have, enjoyable.  I am actually someone you should aspire to be, an old man who has seen better days and also has seen better days than 90% of the younger, fitter gay guys at that bar will ever see.  When I leave the bar, almost always alone, I head back to a life I am happy to have.   

I couldn’t agree more. “Looking like an old queer” is as much in one’s head as anything else.

His Onlyfans is still active and he is responding to messages. Just saying. 

Well, he or his OF manager or OF bot are responding to messages.

My jaw dropped when the towel dropped. Wasn’t expecting that. The show itself was meh. 

Evan Roe provided some limited eye candy, handsome guy.

Edited to add pic of Evan.

I’ve seen this guy (or at least his pics) on seeking.

What’s a check?

It’s that piece of paper the person in front of you at the grocery store checkout line is taking an interminable amount of time writing on and holding up the line.

Made 2 quarts of chicken broth with bouillon cubes, a can of carrots, some parsley flakes, and some dehydrated, minced onion… Simmered for an hour… During which time I made some medium width Manischewitz egg noodles, and a packet of Manischewitz matzoh ball mix.

Perhaps to earn some money, I can give lessons on cooking from scratch.

Ummmm, that’s not really “scratch”?

About 30 years ago I had a regular porn performer/escort, who showed me a check made out to him from well known celebrity. He never cashed it, he kept it as a souvenir. I won’t mention names, but this particular celebrity wasn’t known for being DL/discreet 🤣 

But personally I’ve never used a check, 99.99% cash, the exception being the last year or two sometimes using Venmo/CashApp at provider’s request.

Moderator note: so this thread isn’t about your worst experience….It’s about legal issues using/hiring from RentMen. Let’s keep it to that. Back on topic, and thanks!

Sounds really good. Knott’s Berry Farm here in SoCal serves a cherry rhubarb  kind of sauce/compote at their famous fried chicken restaurant. My mom loves rhubarb pie, I make it a few times a year for her.

Do you rim the twinks you hire?

Yes! And a majority of them reciprocate, if it’s been discussed beforehand.

Rim me or I won't hire you" to me sounds like slavery, a high paying slavery no doubt but slavery. 

Why is it any different than asking about any other activity? Top, bottom, kissing, oral, etc., clients are free to decide not to hire someone based on a provider not being interested in the client’s preferences. 

Slavery?

They've been around for years and yet not ONE RM review...? 

If you’re replying to my post, the twins haven’t advertised for ten plus years. Maybe you meant to reply to the TWINZZ post preceding mine?

I’d love to see that show. I’ve read the book and watched Coppola’s movie countless times.

Well, a blast from the past. I met these two…one was VERY into extras, the other not so much. But I enjoyed being in the middle of a twins massage sandwich. Had to be 15-20 years ago? Kudos to @tsgarp for the pic…and no those are NOT erections, that’s how they hung.

For the majority percentage of my hiring years, I was obese, 300+ pounds. I’ve been height/weight proportionate since 2009.

Almost *never* did I have a problem with a provider either escort or masseur turn me down. Yes, I was always upfront with my weight, but again can’t remember being turned down too often. I’m a big believer in my self-confidence and easygoing manner making providers comfortable with me.

There was one masseur who clearly wasn’t comfortable with overweight guys. He felt his table wouldn’t hold me up, other excuses, etc. I tried a couple times and was turned down. Fast forward 90 days or so…he reached out to me and said let’s try. I don’t know if his rent was due or whatever….but we met, had a great sensual/erotic massage…and continued to see each other for two years 🤣

It’s best to just be upfront with providers, as mentioned elsewhere if they turn you down you’ve probably just dodged a bullet anyway. Don’t be ashamed…we are all works in progress.

I have a regular good friend of 4+ years, I’m 68 he’s 23. Not a problem. He’s a bit unique (mature) for his age…he’s definitely attracted to older/mature. It does happen!

When I sort through my city (a suburb of Los Angeles) I wish I could filter out providers NOT based in my search zone (i.e. “will travel to”) and only show me providers based in the area I’m searching.

Sometimes there are other factors I wish I could search via Boolean/not to filter out profiles I’m not looking for.

OK, thanks for all the posts.
