1. Never underestimate the number of Apple consumers who are willing to pay a premium for a device simply because it comes from Apple. 2. I don't get the appeal of this technology anyway. I've got other devices that can do the things these devices do that I am willing to have in my house. I do not want in my house a microphone that's spying on my 24/7, all in the name of "convenience," regardless of which company is providing said spy device. 3. I'm sure my home theater/stereo provides a much more satisfying music listening experience anyway.

According to Google image search, the name of the model in the first two photos is "bare chested" and the latter is "muscle."

I have to respectfully disagree: As to whether payment up front is more reasonable, it all depends on perspective. You believe the escort should be the one to know at the beginning of the session that he won't be ripped off because he already got his cash, but then that leaves the client at risk. In fact there have been numerous posts here over the years about people paying in full and then getting nothing in return. I can tell you that I have never paid someone in advance, but if I have someone over I will have the cash sitting out somewhere that's visible so the guy knows I'm not going to pretend to have no money when the session is over. For times when I visit a guy's place, though, I'm definitely not going to get out my payment at the beginning of the session and any guy who demands that is going to lose my business because I will simply leave. The only professional I pay in advance is my doctor because I have to pay my copay when I check in for an appointment. Otherwise I think the standard across nearly every industry is that the service is performed first and then payment is rendered. Sure, if a project is large there will be some sort of payment plan (pay half up front, half at the end, for example), but for an hour's worth of a professional's time I cannot think of any other business where some people try to rationalize that it makes sense for payment to be rendered in advance of the service being delivered. Comparing the delivery of a service to purchasing some sort of tangible item isn't the same, but if you wanted to use that analogy then it would be more fair to suggest that buying your groceries, bringing them home, and then returning to pay would be like expecting to hire an escort, go to his place, play, go home, and then return later to pay. No one is suggesting that that would be reasonable. But shopping for groceries and paying at the checkout before I leave is reasonable just like going to an escort's house and paying as I leave is reasonable. The grocery store doesn't expect me to put down a deposit as soon as I enter the store. As to my specific situation, if the session was cut short due to lack of chemistry and I wanted to leave early or I was extremely turned on and came quickly and wanted to leave, then I agree that it would be improper to withhold payment. But this guy wasn't even giving me the courtesy of spending time with me. It wasn't even an option for me to spend more time with him even if that did involve just cuddling and talking because he basically kicked me out. Would you think it's fair for a restaurant to charge you for a full meal if the waiter told you you had to leave after eating the appetizer. By your logic, the diner should be happy to pay for the full mean because, after all, they ate something. What you view as stinginess I view as not giving in to someone's entitlement. I have, in fact, paid in full for many sessions that didn't last a full hour because I had come and the guy simply wasn't particularly personable post-orgasm. I would never suggest that I discount my payment because I didn't get to hang out another few minutes to chat. I very likely wouldn't return to such a guy, however, because I do like more of the "boyfriend experience" where the interaction goes beyond the purely sexual, but I would view such encounters as I got what I paid for. It's very different when a provider prematurely ends things because of his own personal issues.

If I'm not mistaken, this guy has used more than two aliases over the past couple of years that I've seen his ads. Sexy guy, but I would never hire someone who keeps changing names since my assumption is that there is something going on that isn't positive.

While more of a food consumption than cooking show, I will watch anything that cutie Jordan Andino is on, including his show Late Night Eats. http://greginhollywood.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/tumblr_nqmizml6121qz7de4o1_500.jpg

I'm a bit perplexed. What does this guy's ad have to do with Adam "super beef?" The photos are definitely not of the same person. There is nothing wrong with a 55 year old offering escort or massage services. I think the guy in the ad you linked looks hot and he may actually be 55, unlike a guy in another visitor ad I recently saw who claimed to be in his late forties but is closer to 65, according to information readily available by searching his phone number. I agree that something about the various "super beef" ads have always seemed off. Not only have the photos and age not changed in a very long time, but it's very odd for someone to run so many different ads at the same time, many claiming to be a "visitor" to my area even though it seems like he is almost always here.

I gave up trying to sell relatively small value items online. It just isn't worth the time and effort. Even when you are giving away something for free, it's amazing that people will flake on appointments to retrieve items. When I have something I want to get rid of that has some but not a lot of value, I simply give it away by posting that something free is available on the sidewalk in front of my building and that it's first come, first served. Then I remove the post as soon as the item is taken. For something of greater value, I'd rather use a website other than Craigslist or the like even though it means I'll lose some of my profit in a listing fee on eBay or the like.

I thought so, but just wanted to clarify. I agree that Austin Wilde is very sexy -- body, face, and on camera persona. I have also never seen an escort ad for him nor read any reference to him escorting, so I'm guessing that he isn't available to us mere mortals.

Are you asking about Austin Wilde (someone well known) or someone named Austin Cole (whose name I've never heard and for whom a Google search led to straight porn videos)?

All of my favorites were eliminated far before the finals, so I didn't really care who won other than I definitely didn't think Red deserved to win. The other three were all okay, but I doubt I will seek out anything they record.

Interesting that they had a few cutaways to Jennifer and Miley dancing and one to Adam smiling, but none to Blake. If I had to guess, I think he enjoyed the performance as well but he and producers decided that showing him enjoying a drag performance wasn't consistent with his core audience. Assuming that this was Chris Weaver's choice to perform in drag on the finale, kudos to him for making the choice and kudos to The Voice producers for allowing it to happen.

I go back and forth as well. John leans in the "pretty boy" direction while Ant is a bit more rugged.

I miss the cousins, Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri. They haven't had a show on for quite a while.

Heath is one of the rare masseurs where I repeated because the initial experience was good but the second was extremely disappointing. I cannot post details because both sessions occurred a long time ago, but I remember being so shocked because it hardly seemed like the same person showed up for the second session even though it clearly was the same physical body.

I've always preferred using cash, even when hiring someone who did accept credit card payments. I'd rather not have an electronic record that law enforcement could easily look into under the right (wrong) circumstances.

They don't mean the same thing, though. One can fuck bareback and not "breed" by simply pulling out before orgasm. I know it doesn't make sense to say that one man is "breeding" another, but I have yet to see another word used to describe one man cumming inside the other's ass with the exception of "creampie" which somehow seems even more silly.

I guess it's similar to the new requirement of masseurfinder for those who want to review. Now we'll just have lots of people creating basic social media profiles so they can post reviews on masseurfinder or post an ad on Backpage.

I agree. If I were to just stand him next to all of the other Sean Cody models, I wouldn't pick him out as the most handsome even though I do find him cute. But his sexual enthusiasm puts him among the top Sean Cody models for me. I love watching a guy who just can't hold back and cums multiple times per scene. It's pretty obvious that some of the other models have to work to achieve orgasm which, to me, is an indication that they probably aren't that excited about what they are doing. Even though I've read that Jess isn't gay, he sure seems like he enjoys fucking men -- a lot. One of Jess' hottest scenes is with the absolutely adorable Tanner. Jess keeps having orgasm after orgasm and then Tanner finally says something like, "Is it my turn yet?"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think where the comparison between Backpage and social media sites breaks down is that Backpage charges money for making posts whereas someone can create accounts on social media platforms and then post for free. I checked out BP yesterday and noticed not only the trend to simple phone numbers and photos, but there are already some interesting attempts to game the system going on. One is that some guys post a photo of text that describes what they are offering (smart). Another is that people are linking social media accounts that clearly aren't even theirs (very odd).

Funny show. The subsequent feature length film wasn't as good.

A lot of TV shows don't hold up under intellectual scrutiny, but perhaps Golden Girls is worse than most. It's best to completely suspend disbelief when watching it and just enjoy the jokes.

I suggest Noah's Arc. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but to paint with a broad brush Noah's Arc was like a black Queer As Folk -- only better written and acted. And it featured a number of seriously sexy men. Definitely worthwhile watching.

search for "hotcolin" for a previous thread about him that has a few comments, all of them positive.
