Yes, it's always helpful if a poster is more specific about what kind of guy and scene they are looking for.  Do they want twinks in Toledo, or muscle studs in Memphis?  Perhaps they're in the mood for bondage in Boston or watersports in Walla Walla.  Is romance in Reno on the menu, or is it fisting in Fresno?  We can always provide better options with just a little more information.

Anyone with plans to travel to Porto Alegre Brazil in the next six months should rethink their plans.  Parts of the city are under water after historic rain and flooding during the last few weeks.  Hundreds dead or missing and over half a million displaced from their homes.  Flood waters may take a month to recede and  POA airport is under water and closed.  Some estimates are that the airport may not re-open until September.

1) Providers who want to present their rates clearly up front on RentMasseur will do so. The “Ask Me” guys intentionally choose not to do this, so any confusion around the rate paid with/without tip is on them!
2) Verify rates directly with the provider before you schedule, especially if he lists “Ask Me”, and clarify any up-sells to those rates, if he offers them. Ask your provider his rate and be sure when you ask to be clear about the services you want him to quote. Generic “What is your rate?” is unhelpful because many of us including myself have different rates for services going beyond massage. Some of your guys may have different rates for sensual or erotic, with their own respective definitions applying to each.
3) There is no standard for including the tip or not on the rate paid field. If I had my druthers, I would have clients post the quoted rate for the service you booked since it is the most objective way to compare. It gets murky with upsells for extra services accounted for in a tip format. Tips even without upsells can get confusing too. That’s why I quote distinct rates for massage vs full service massage vs escort services.

Kind of ironic, I was just going to post in the Deli about a new provider I’d found on RM. Had a good visit with him, thought I’d promote him a bit.
Then, he’s peppering me with multiple requests for a next meet, and today he asks me for $1500 for 5 future visits. 🤣 So, yeah I won’t recommend him and he’s blocked from my phone.

💯. Only do what brings you joy! My party trick: I only go to gay bars with friends OR to just go and ogle bois; usually when I’m a tourist someplace. 
 
My ageism solution: I order in! Some hot sumyungboi full of salty cream sauce and savor him. I may take him on vacation. But I have fun. I don’t get depressed. I have my revenge on Time my way!

I agree, and it should be the provider's home city/locale. Listing a provider with a city they visited once in their life is not useful later in time.

The flip side of this topic….I wish more posters put a provider’s city/locale in the topic of the post. i.e. “411 on HotOne in SoCal” rather than just “any info about HotOne?”

Let’s get back on Red Lobster topic. Thanks!

I've had younger men roll their eyes at me or give me a hostile look for simply looking at them in a bar one too many times.  I completely accept that a 25 or 30 year old guy might not be interested in someone in his 60s since that's how I felt as well.  I do remember being friendly with men much older than me, though, in terms of having casual conversations so it always surprises me when someone is such a jerk about simply being admired a little.

Sounds like a script for a comedy at the Geffen.  The wheelchair character, the hot butler and so on.

Reminds me why I stay in Cali during the holidays instead of flying 1000 miles to be with family.

But now you're psychoanalyzing someone you don't even know.
A sickness?  That's presumptuous as fuck.
You're judging someone else for having sex on an escort message board dedicated to these very discussions?
Are you, really?

In the case of Galatzine's character, under is the word.

I had to look up the difference between ankle socks and quarter socks......I wear quarter socks and have for many years because they're cooler in the warm area in which I live and because crew socks look dorky (though they certainly didn't look dorky when I was a kid back in the 70s)......I guess ankle socks don't cover outside the shoe top??.....if so, the rubbing between skin and shoe along the Achilles tendon would give me instant blisters......
that's all I got for the world of sox!......and I don't know what Ellen is crying about up top!!

for many gay men of a certain age - we were never supposed to live long enough to worry about “looking like an old queer”
aging is a blessing, not a curse

Not really - but it’s just a discussion.  Just bang your husband.  You can always hook up elsewhere.  Why so desperate on this trip? 
 
It’s actually a sickness.  Unless I have sex with a hot stranger on my vacation, everything is ruined.
Is it? Really?

I don't think that's really pertinent to the story.
Their relationship is none of our business, no?

I really wish Judith Martin would have offered this kind of advice

You voluntarily went to the Dominican Republic?
AKA "the slightly less shitty other half of Haiti"?
I have no sympathy.
My advice? Be insanely nice, calm, and friendly with the husband’s family.
They are all just waiting for you to be a C-unt. Don’t give them the satisfaction.
Swallow your pride, dignity and self worth until you are safely out of there.
Chalk it up to a "lesson learned". Do NOT bring it up with your husband…..
He’s just waiting for you to be a C-unt. Don’t give him the satisfaction.
Smile until it feels like your face will break, then smile some more.
Drink the shitty "all inclusive wine" and try not to choke. 
Then schedule the trip of your dreams when you get home.
Give it to your husband as a gift. If he has any intelligence at all, he’ll get the drift.
