MikeBiDude got a reaction from Whatsupandstuff in Hiring Porn Stars
I hired Chad Conners dozens (and dozens?) of times, like @Whatsupandstuff it was almost 30 years ago. We clicked, good connection I think he enjoyed his visits with me as much as any provider can. He did a little county jail time which some leapt on as a negative…things happen. I helped him out during that trying time and never regretted that. He had his demons like many of do, but was amazing with me.
FYI I found him in the “yellow pages” of Frontiers magazine back in the day. Had to make a phone call and have a conversation to set a meet 🤣.

MikeBiDude reacted to nate_sf in One provider for two clients?
I'm with @DznNYC and @Rod Hagen on this one, I don't charge extra for couples. My fee is for my time, whether it's one, two, or more guys.
In fairness, navigating a couple takes some special attention, as you don't want one to feel left out. But that's also part of the fun, making sure everyone is having a good time.

MikeBiDude got a reaction from + claym in seeking arrangements website?
Well, that’s unfortunate. While I’m not currently a paid subscriber, I was for over 8 years, month-by-month, and never had any trouble with their billing or support.
If you look a few posts up @56harrisond has posted several topics above that relate to seeking arrangements and their latest name seeking.com. It’s a valid point that it takes more time. I had very good luck on there, at least I did after my first year or two when I started to realize how to better filter through the profiles and messages. I’m still in a relationship right now from someone I met there almost 5 years ago, we see each other and travel 4-6 times a year…it’s not a monthly allowance type arrangement.
Many will be quick to say seeking.com leads to expensive monthly arrangements, I’ve found that’s not necessarily true, and have met many quality guys there.

MikeBiDude got a reaction from Mark_in_SF in Pornstar escorts: turn on, or turn off?
Is it time for my occasional opine…most of these guys are porn “performers” not porn “stars”.

MikeBiDude reacted to RadioRob in Marked Safe
All of the moderators have my phone number. I explained what was happening to everyone that pinged me. I did not have my offline list as this happened while I was traveling for my day job. (Yes a perfect storm of crap to happen at once!)

MikeBiDude reacted to rvwnsd in Canada opens their LGBTQ+ Suicide Hotline to Americans
Moderator's Note: Not sure whether everyone is familiar with Snopes.com, a fact-checking site that proves/debunks items circulating on the internet and other media. They have conducted a pretty thorough analysis of the claim that Canada has opened its LGBTQ+ suicide line to US citizens, including contacting officials from Canada's national health system. Rather than rehash the entire analysis, I'll cut to the chase - there is no evidence that this claim is true. Here's a link to their analysis. I encourage everyone to read it.
This topic has been laid to rest and is now locked.

MikeBiDude reacted to + sync in Canada opens their LGBTQ+ Suicide Hotline to Americans
My heartfelt condolences for your tragic loss. Your lengthy recovery is certainly understandable, and commendable. I feel certain that It is very unlikely that I would have the necessary grit to move on from it.

MikeBiDude reacted to + JamesB in Canada opens their LGBTQ+ Suicide Hotline to Americans
I'm truly sorry for your loss. As a father myself, I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing a child, or how I would even begin to cope with such a loss.

MikeBiDude reacted to + sync in When a camera is not a camera!
now Just a follow-up/conclusion. I received my new passport book today. I thought the application photo was bad, well, the photo, as it appears in the new passport book, would prompt the villagers to make the sign of the Cross and shelter in place.

MikeBiDude reacted to + sniper in Benson Boone
That mustache is hideous. Straight men need to stop it with the ugly facial hair. Jason Mamoa is pretty much the only man who pulls it off IMO.

MikeBiDude reacted to LostUpstate in Real Talk on massage rates - let me know your thoughts
I’ve hired 2 masseurs in the past 4 months. One charged $150 for one hour, plus tip, I tipped an extra $90 because he was really good with the sensual stuff, and a really nice guy. I actually had fooled around with him at my gym’s steam room and I asked him in advance of our meeting if he was okay with that, and it was cool with him. He’s not really much of a massage therapist, but the extras were amazing.
The second guy I hired was also a guy that I had casually “met” at a Korean spa, and his rate was $180, and he made sure that “tipping is highly appreciated.” He was quite vague about what the session would entail, and his texts were on the cold side, not especially personal and more like he just sends you a form letter. Still, I went through with it because I think he’s hot. Upon meeting him, I mentioned the Korean spa encounter and he denied ever meeting me. The massage was okay, but he went into the extras very quickly and seemed like he was in a rush to get it over and done with. I tipped an extra $100, because I didn’t know what was appropriate in this situation, and when I left, it had been 35 minutes, not the hour I had paid for. Probably wouldn’t repeat.

So for a rushed, just-okay massage that lasted 35 minutes instead of the full hour, you tipped $100. You might as well start handing out twenties to people who almost hold the door open for you

MikeBiDude reacted to samhexum in Random TV 6 Degrees of Separation (or Kevin Bacon)
Clorox Bleachman's mother in law was Samantha Steven's mother in law and also the older sister of Chico's Man.
Clorox and her husband of 25 years lived next door to Judy Garland and Sid Luft. (Liza wasn't there.) Lorna Luft said in her autobiography that Clorox had been a major source of stability and support (as well as hot meals) for her and her brother when they couldn't get that at home.
By the way, Clorox - like Bea Arthur - did not like Betty White. Both women thought the super sweet image that Betty cultivated was totally phony.
Also btw...
One day in college I was walking with a friend and she came up in the conversation and when I said her name, my friend said you mean Clorox bleachman?
Apparently, she had heard Clorox say on a talk show that people were always screwing up her name and Clorox Bleachman was one example that she gave, and that was the last time I ever called her Cloris.

MikeBiDude reacted to + Vegas_Millennial in The Wizard of Oz - Las Vegas Sphere
Another downside (besides ticket price): it's only a 75 minute "experience". The original movie was over 2 hours. So, they've cut about about 1/3 of the movie. 😢

MikeBiDude reacted to mike carey in Exposing Traditionally Discreet Queer Social Practices
Yes, it means 'separate and distinct'. So queer places are discrete almost by definition. Whether they are discreet is a separate question.

MikeBiDude reacted to Rod Hagen in One provider for two clients?
I never charged more. I knew many others who didn't as well. Also, it is absolutely understandable to charge more.

MikeBiDude reacted to RadioRob in And we're back...
Greetings folks...
As you might have noticed, this site has been offline since around mid-day Tuesday. Our prior hosting provider decided that they are unable to continue hosting our website and had ended service to us. Unfortunately they did not provide any notification to me about this decision and I was forced to move the site to a new server without any sort of heads up. This includes arranging for the new hosting company, configuring the new server to meet the technical requirements, getting a copy of our current data, restoring that data (over 300GB of files), recovering the database (over 18.5 million records in that database taking up 11GB of space for the DB alone), and reconfiguring the software itself to run in the new environment.
While migrating there was also some technical issues that I ran into that required me to coordinate with Invision's technical support team. So that back and forth added additional time to the mix as well.
And to pile on further… all of this occurred while I'm traveling for my day job. So I've been doing this while in a hotel in between doing my day job on the road.
There are most likely several other things that will need to be fixed still and I'm working through them. For example, email may only be partially working. I still need to setup things like SPF and DKIM for the new server so our emails don't flag as spam. There are other settings that might need to be redone to work in the new server as well that I'm not thinking about yet. (As you might have imagined, I've not had much sleep during this whole process.)
But anyway... you get the idea. No... we're not going anywhere! This was a minor setback but we'll continue to move forward. Thank you all for your understanding and support!

MikeBiDude reacted to + purplekow in 21st Annual Palm Springs Weekend
I do not presume to speak for Oliver, who has worked very hard year after year for this event. And at his age, getting very hard is not as easy as it used to be. But, in my last conversation with him, he was definitely planning on returning to Palm Springs in a rental home and I would bet that his arm might be twistable.
