There is a filter for your inbox that filters profiles by miles from your location. Works like maybe 50/50.

Got it, oops it mutated Got It, oops it mutated

No apologies, it’s a great thread! It’s no secret I’m a fan of seeking. And yes you’re right...there have been lots of new message/profiles from twinky boys, and yes more Colombians too! But I’ve found the quality, seriousness, and follow through to be much flakier with this recent “Covid crop” ? Many, many more straight out asking for cash, “platonic/online only”, etc. While there is a plethora of new profiles, there is also a substantial rise in profiles being blocked, deleted, removed sometimes before I even read their message to me. Whether the missing profiles are due to admins, reporting, or whatever I don’t know but it’s way up. The sad flip side is a few of my local regulars, or some that I was hoping to groom into regulars....are still online but geographically scattered to the four winds. Mainly because their schools closed if they returned home to family in distant states. It can still be a productive and fun resource!

To answer the OP’s question, no I’m not “inticed” nor do I seek out straight men. That said...I feel there’s no reason to label people’s sexuality. If I didn’t have an open mind and appreciate all varieties of “gray” between the poles of the black/white gay/straight continuum, I would have missed out on A LOT of fun!

I’m *beginning* to discuss it with a couple friends. I’m suggesting taking temperatures and perhaps wearing masks. Yes, not kissing is usually a “deal breaker” for me, but looks like that’s one thing I’ll have to sacrifice and on hold off on for a bit. And maybe that’s ok ??‍♂️

Do what works for you, and don’t listen to:

There was a longish thread about the Mintboy live ins back in Covid ancient history, i.e.4 weeks ago ? https://m4m-forum.org/threads/anyone-trying-the-livein-boyfriend-option.157045/

It’s nice to have different resources and the experience (and sixth sense!) to navigate and use them.

Two thumbs up ???? on having fun cooking with sous vide. Magic!

Ugh...I am NOT a fan of her’s

Mine still comes for a 1/2 day weekly. Masks gloves, uses all my supplies. We are almost “family” and we discussed how to handle it. We mask up when she is here as well, and switch upstairs/downstairs if I’m home when she’s working.

This is absolutely my experience as well.

Age has little to do with it.

I’m NOT seeing any speed degradation, iPad, chrome seems fast as before

Anyone else seeing this double column of avatars? @Cooper @Guy Fawkes

I love that meat trio, especially ground veal, yum!

My mom’s was the Quaker Oats Classic

One of my favorite post in an older meat loaf thread: (thanks @deej ) https://m4m-forum.org/threads/meatloaf.121794/post-1232099

Amen....this!

Why is an 18-24 year Old twunk (or twink?) not a “man”?

I’m not “rich” by most standards. That said, I did not qualify for a covid stimulus check ?

Visiting San Diego? But profile expired as of this morning.

I’m seeing a big increase on seeking.com of the 19-23 yo’s. I’m also seeing guys there unclear on any concept of what they’re getting into, guys asking to “$ell pic$” online/platonic only, and many profiles get deleted before I even get a chance to respond to a first message sent my way. The deletions/block I suspect are profiles with the pic selling or overt requests for cash. So I’m just watching the eye candy go by. I’ve updated my profile there to indicate I’m not meeting anyone now due to Covid restrictions and concerns.

I *rarely* get seasick and I’ve sailed thousands of offshore miles. I got seasick one morning in local waters in sight of land eating a blueberry bagel...so they are forever horrifying to me. Just reading these posts, ugh! ?
