  1. So I wasn't going to come back here to this forum but decided to share my experience in case it helps anyone. I am not a user of Wegovy, but I do use one of the other medications in this class. I went on the medication to manage another health issue, but yes, weight loss was a welcome side effect of using it. The headline: My Experience : this medication is life changing and I am not exaggerating * my primary medical condition has been successfully managed, almost since the start * I have lost a significant amount of weight. I never believed I would be under 200lbs again in my lifetime. On this medication, I am way under this goal. * I have the ability to experience feeling full for the first time in my life. I was never able to feel this before (sans being stuffed from a buffet) . I am no longer obsessed with food 24/7. I no longer crave only bad things. I can eat things in moderation. * I was able to curtail other bad habits. I was able to completely give up my 6 pack + diet soda daily obsession. I stopped eating fried foods. I made many other healthy lifestyle changes. I was even able to curtail my compulsive gambling to moderation! I am a strong believer the medication works on many obsessive/compulsive behaviors. The bad; *It can cause digestive "distress'. The way this medication works in part is to make things take longer to digest so you feel full and longer. It takes getting used to. Diarrhea can be an issue, especially early on. helpful tip: ACTIVA is your friend! *Medication can be hard to get refilled (frustrating supply issue) *You need to make sure Dr's know you are on these meds prior to anesthesia. It takes more time to get food completely out of your system which can interfere. Might there be better medications in he future? Of course. For me, this drug was nothing short of a miracle, and I am very glad I took the risk and didn't wait. My life is definitely better.
  2. I would also not approach an escort I have met in a public situation. I would probably do something like give him a brief nod or wink if we managed to make eye contact and leave it at that. On a related note I recall how terribly uncomfortable I was when an escort from NYC I was with in another state ran into someone he knew socially while we were together and that person started a conversation with him.
  3. Sometimes you can try searching in a browser like Bing (depending on the information you have) and then selecting the cached version of the page instead of loading the current page. That is usually available by the small down arrow icon to the right of the URL on the second line.
  4. My very first hire was from written publications (personal ads on the back few pages etc.). Yes times have changed. Rentboy was probably my favorite before its demise. There was also another one I didn't quite like as much, but it's long gone and I don't remeber the name anyways. My current go to is rentmen. Have used grindr, craigslist, friendboy. I am currently trying out seeking, but I don't really look at using that site as a traditional search for an escort, more of a search for a continuing relationship. Currently my escort hires have either originated from rentmen (after asking for info here on this forum) or the message forum (as long as I can visually see their presence on another website like rentmen or twitter. I do not do onlyfans or the like.. just not my thing or interest. I don't think I could ever get adam4adam to work for me lol.
  5. Its the shortcut you use when pronouncing a word rather than saying the individual initial. A better example would be 4play where you pronounce the 4 as four+play , 2go for to+go, L8r for later or Bhive for bee+hive. In this case, you are simply pronouncing the S as it's sound "ess" hence ess+cort. I fully accept it doesn't save much at all... but some people shorten/abbreviate etc. everything they possibly can.
  6. Name change. Some of those pictures belonged to an ad from Dallas, Texas... HoganXX. @DallasClient might be able to verify this as he posted that he used to see him. Of course, as Hogan, he charged a lot less! Doh! Just saw @azdr0710beat me to the punch.
  7. In my very early days of hiring I used to be willing to hire without seeing a face pic. Unfortunately, I had to stop doing this because it always ended in disappointment for me. I think this was mostly because I couldn't prevent myself from projecting via fantasy of what the faceless provider looked like and the cold reality when actually seeing the escort of how off I really was to the real thing. The funny thing about it is I likely would have been ok in many of the cases if I was able to see the real thing before having to use my imagination. Put me in the category of someone who will not hire without seeing your face. I definitely appreciate those providers saving us both time and problems by being upfront about refusing to provide a face pic- instead of providing a fake one!
  8. Of the 4 factors listed: Tie for 1st: Body and Face combo ________ Personality (only applicable for rehire status or extended hires) Endowment (as long as average or better I am ok)
  9. While I wouldn't personally go the apologizing route (I just don't see a positive outcome there at all) and I would just move on, I think you should do whatever you will find easiest to live with. If you are going to drive yourself nuts over the wondering and won't be able to just let it go, then by all means spend a little more effort pursuing the answer you need. Whatever you choose to do, do not under any circumstances cross the line to stalkerville and definitely prepare yourself for the real possibility that you may never get the answers you seek. If closure is something that you absolutely can't live without and you aren't able to get a response... may I suggest you write a letter to the escort... putting everything you emotionally need to in that letter, seal it, and then burn that letter and move on.
  10. Is the current 33% off membership deal (that is almost over) one of their better offers?
  11. Scort = " ess-kort" not "skort" Get over it! Just like T-rex = "Tee - rex" not "treks" 😘
  12. https://rent.men/Hunterthunder Anyone met him? Thanks
  13. Great start, you're well on your way. If I could give any advice/ what worked for me: Investing: Treat investing for your future as a monthly expense item.. (pay the rent, pay yourself) Keep it simple- unless you really want to spend the time and have a really active hands on approach... try something like the couch potato portfolio which is so easy and very low cost The couch-potato portfolio is an indexing strategy that requires only annual monitoring and rebalancing but offers significant returns in the long run. Couch potato portfolios invest equally in two assets, common stocks, and bonds (via index funds or ETFs), and maintain this 50/50 split year in and year out. In the couch potato portfolio, the equities allow for growth, while the debt instruments provide protection against market volatility. Couch potato portfolios decline less than the market in down periods but also appreciate less in up markets. Diversify if you are going to pick individual stocks instead of picking low cost index funds. Savings: Keep 3-6 months cash on hand in an online savings bank or credit union that pays higher interest than the traditional bank. Always participate in your employers 401K plans at least up to the $ level they match. Always fund your Roth IRA to the allowable level. Consider using a "bucket" approach (for example). Spending: Don't rack up credit card debt. I use credit but don't carry over monthly balances. Do you really need a new car every 2 years? Consider a Honda before buying that BMW. Can you be happy in that nice $1500 a month apartment, or do you really need to rent that $3000 a month condo? Do you really need to eat out every night or will 2-3 times a week suffice?

  15. Doesn't bother me at all. Not even if they pronounce scort "ess-cort" or "skort".

  17. "Pleasure" from bottoming is an incredibly subjective experience. I really don't think it is possible to give a "one size fits all" answer. I think the best thing you can do, is try to understand yourself, your desires, and what you enjoy and find pleasurable. For example, some are turned on by the size of the boat where another will find it in the motion of the ocean and to yet another it will be some combination of both. For myself, I don't enjoy bottoming in the traditional sense. I think it takes a lot of prep and hard work to be ready (cleaning, not being able to eat, etc.) I am not fixated on size at all (average is fine, big is fine). But here is how and where I get my enjoyment. I have to be very attracted to the person I am with. Intense deep passionate kissing has to be involved. I like some degree of verbal play (not degradation, but more like descriptive). Finally, I get pleasure from knowing that I am giving my partner something he really wants. This is what works for me. I can't emphasize enough, how knowing yourself and what you like is the most important thing to your own enjoyment. It will also be very helpful if you are able to verbalize this to your partner (what is working and even what isn't working). Maybe for you, it will be size, or foreplay, or toys, or positioning. Finally, as others have said... yes.. it is ok if you decide that you really don't enjoy it.
  18. CumRocket aka CUMMIES looks interesting... seems porn and crypto are a great match!
  19. Per US Weekly: "The show’s entire principal cast, including Maggie Smith, Imelda Staunton, Michelle Dockery and Hugh Bonneville, will reprise their beloved roles while Hugh Dancy, Laura Haddock, Nathalie Baye and Dominic West will join the fun for the first time — though there’s no telling what their ranks in the household may be." Hopefully they are right.
  20. Isn’t that former “Bachelor”, Ben Higgins?
  21. Just another thing that has me moving on to the next ad...like "high class only", "selective", "must send picture",”deposit required”, and having a really stupid name or shooting me the bird.
  22. Hate them. My deductible is higher than the services I have needed so far, and the red tape you have to jump through is insane.
  23. It's definitely a safety/trust issue for me. I have to feel really comfortable with an escort to host them at my own residence. I do host at my hotel when travelling. For this reason, I prefer to travel to an escort when meeting in my home town. If the escort cannot host, it would depend on how bad I wanted to see him as to whether or not I would get my own hotel room. It kind of seems a little wasteful to me to do so over a 1 hour meeting, but I have. Immediately after my attempted blackmail experience (several years ago), after a long break from this hobby, I used to book a second hotel when travelling just to meet with an escort so they wouldn't know where I was really staying (yes I know, silly.. but I was scared!)
  24. Yes I would "feel" safer, but I am vaccinated myself as well.
