I'm sure some of the usual suspects will pop up soon to chide us for saying something bad about an obvious liar. In this case, he isn't even doing a good job at lying. One of his main photos on rentmasseur is a calendar cover dated 2010, which means he would have been 15 at the time of that cover shoot if it was a current photo then.

I'm from a solidly working class family and we eventually had two televisions by the early 1970s -- the new color set in the living room and the old black-and-white set in the den. Prior to that, the parents controlled what was watched but I don't really remember who exerted more control. I actually don't remember watching Bewitched during first run, though. My mom set a fairly early bedtime for us even as we got older, so we mostly got to watch reruns of prime time shows during the day. I remember watching reruns of Bewitched and Batman on that black and white set, and to support the notion that maybe Bewitched resonated better with females and gay males than straight males my straight brother definitely wanted to watch the Batman reruns but I don't remember him being around when my sister and I watched Bewitched. Even as a prepubescent boy with no knowledge of "camp" or gay culture, I knew Endora and Uncle Arthur, in particular, appealed to me in a special way.

Your first sentence is the obvious way to think about this. If the amount of the charge matches what was purchased at one of the other stores AND there isn't a separate charge on the statement for that store, then there must be some common owner/franchisee of the stores. I wouldn't worry about it if all of that is true. If, however, the amount is wrong or there other two transactions were billed under their respective store names, then I'd be concerned that the payment account was compromised.

I can understand the frustration with threads that are started just to malign an escort that isn't about his actual performance, but if no one takes the bait then the thread dies quickly. Unfortunately, I don't think piling on the piling on actually accomplishes anything, particularly when some of the posters who criticize behavior in threads like this engage in similar negativity in other threads. I think it does speak to a certain element of human behavior -- it's very easy to get drawn into a pile on.

I guess he prefers to top or simply wants to be compensated for the time he spends to prepare himself to bottom.

His ad indicates he's leaving tomorrow for a week in Hawai'i, so if you're only in San Francisco for a short time today's your opportunity. (I don't know the guy so I'm not saying you should or shouldn't hire him; I just checked his ad to remind me who he is and I noticed his travel plans.)

Makes sense. Hopefully down the road your finances will improve and you'll feel more able to indulge as a client on occasion.

I don't think so. I wouldn't give them my phone number.

Just curious why you cannot hire even though you are a provider. The provider I was the closest to (friend as well as client) occasionally hired other men, particularly when he was traveling.

Sorry, I didn't intend my previous post to be a critique of your photography skills. I know it's difficult to take good photographs, even when the subject is good looking. I was more or less just saying that just because someone doesn't look particularly attractive in a candid shot or two doesn't mean they won't look great in person.

I agree that maybe the photos above don't depict them at their best. I've seen Pukashelldude in a couple of videos and definitely thought he was quite attractive, face and body.

I assume this is the cover in question? Yes, he looks older (and he is, like the rest of us), but I don't know that the basic shape of his face has changed much.

Just because a product is "manufactured" doesn't mean it's safe, either. I see what you recommend lists colloidal silver as one of its ingredients, and that isn't something I'd want to take internally or to apply to my skin. I'm not sure about the other ingredients; only that one jumped out at me because there's so much misleading hype around it from many in the "I don't trust modern medicine but I will trust the unregulated supplement marketers" camp.

A urinal by my bed? If I had severely limited mobility, then yes. But as a recommendation for everyone? Seems a bit overboard to me, and in order to use it you're still having to wake up a bit. Might as well walk down the hallway to the toilet. It typically doesn't take me long to fall back to sleep anyway. A do have a low intensity, color LED bulb in my living area that goes on at dusk and goes off at dawn. I do like having some visibility in the middle of the night when I get up. I don't see the need to have a light in every room, though. If you're actually going to get up, wouldn't you just turn on the light in the room you're using. I do like some of the suggestions at the top of the list, though, particularly putting contact information on the refrigerator and in my wallet. Rather than typing out medical information, however, I would add something to the list: Always have a copy of your health insurance card with you, even if you're just going out for a jog and not carrying anything else. If an accident happens this will not only identify you but also provide access to your health information since EMS will know where you receive care. (Well, come to think of it, this works for me because I'm part of an HMO that provides both the insurance and the services; I guess if you're insurance company is not your provider then it might help to have your medications listed along with the name and phone number of your primary care physician.)

I guess I have a different view of someone being a "clock watcher." If someone is wrapping things up early so they are out the door right on the hour, that's wrong. If someone schedules himself so he needs to be more-or-less done right on time, it might not feel great as a client because it does highlight the transactional nature of the meeting but the best way to avoid that is to arrange for a longer appointment in advance or to ask if there's some flexibility about extending the appointment time in the moment. I frequently used to hire guys for an hour but would say that in the moment I might want to extend that to 90 minutes and ask if that would be possible. Most of the time the men I hired were okay with that.

I think the risk of running into law enforcement while hiring off Rentmen is far, far lower than the risk of simply hiring someone who fails to deliver on what he advertises. That's the real reason to vet the men whose ads interest you. Sadly, I think this is far more necessary now than 25+ years ago. I think in the earlier days of hiring off the internet, the scam artists hadn't yet figured out it was an avenue they could easily exploit.

Like it or not, but tattoos have become the norm now rather than an exception, so I don't think you can generalize about people who have tattoos (even people with their bodies covered in them like Bad Bunny). I personally don't like tattoos and while I can overlook a few smallish ones, once someone is covered like Bieber or Bad Bunny I don't care what the tattoos themselves look like. I just have a visceral reaction that says, "not for me."

Use the search function to see if there's already feedback on guys whose ads interest you on Rentmen. If you don't find any previous discussion, you can start a thread to ask about them.

This series apparently began several years ago but I only found out about it a week or so ago. I looked back through this forum and didn't see any previous discussion of it, so I am sharing it here. How would I describe it? Campy. Hot guys. Funny. Strange. Murder-mystery. Predictable and unpredictable at the same time. At first I wasn't sure what to make of it, but the more episodes I watched the more impressed I became. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD-C5oWd8Is&list=PL8indjdn_qTUc-LSS8v-mrKuPzxhd1Q0H

Are you sure about what happens if you cancel versus pause your Prime membership? It isn't like a membership is required to shop on Amazon, so I don't know why they would delete all of your information if you stop being a Prime member. If anything it makes sense for them to keep everything else available in case you want to still shop on Amazon and either pay for shipping or buy enough to qualify for free shipping.

I don't know you or your family and friends so my reaction may be off base, but here's how I read what you wrote: You have family and friends who are trying to tell you that they wish you would be more open with them about your sexual orientation so they could feel closer to you/know you better, but instead of allowing that to happen you continue to hide from them. Your actions aren't actually protecting anyone (including yourself); they are hindering your ability to be closer with other people and, it seems, hindering your ability to accept yourself.

The problem with rates posted by clients on Rentmasseur is that it typically isn't clear what the nature of the session was, particularly for providers who advertise on both Rentmasseur and Rentmen. I would hope that the client who paid $350 for an hour hired him as an escort, not a masseur.

Even without an NDA, if Geffen treated him well while they were together and is appropriately generous now that they are separating, hopefully the guy just leaves the details of his relationship with Geffen between them. No reason to harbor ill will or treat someone callously who treated you nicely. I understand that some might have the view that Geffen couldn't possibly have treated the guy nicely because he was using his position of wealth to get sex with a much younger man, but unless there's coercion involved I don't judge either party who wants to get involved in that kind of relationship. If I did, I wouldn't be a frequent visitor to this forum.

I wouldn't even go that route as it seems to present different legal problems since sexual harassment of an employee is illegal and it isn't legal in California to hire someone to provide sexual services on demand.

Unless the Mexican locals knew of places to get more from the US dollars than I did as a tourist, the places accepting dollars there always gave a worse exchange rate than available from my bank via ATMs. I doubt that many, if any, of these men were well off enough to just hold onto the money they were earning, so I don't think they were stockpiling US dollars as investment. This all did occur during a time when the peso was losing value relative to the dollar, though, so I guess it makes sense that some of them thought that even if they held onto the dollars for even a short period of time they would be ahead.
