Funny that you abbreviated San Diego SD. The first thing that popped in my mind is South Dakota, so I was thinking that almost any escort ad there could be suspect since I doubt a lot of guys there would place an ad on Rentmen. I have to admit that I'm guilty (as are a lot of other people in my area) of assuming that everyone "knows" SF is San Francisco.

Because neither the thread title nor initial post reveal what information is in the link provided, I'll try to summarize it very generally for those who don't want to click the link just to see what it's about: The article discusses Only Fans owner's payment to himself as well as other numbers related to the site (number of content creators and user accounts, net profits) as well as a brief summary of Only Fans' ownership and what the current owner does in addition to owning Only Fans. In short, nothing particularly interesting unless you're curious about those things. I'm not sure what I expected to read there when I clicked the link, but somehow I thought maybe it would be a bit more interesting.

Providers contacting clients. Is it welcome?
maninsoma replied to + Jamie21's topic in Questions About Hiring
I've only ever had a handful of escorts contact me after an appointment. Two of them were traveling escorts so I appreciated them keeping in touch with me when they were visiting my area again so I could arrange appointments. I had an understanding with both of them that I welcomed hearing from them when they were visiting again. In a few cases, I hired the guys more than once but not enough to become a regular. I don't mind a guy reaching out after a couple of visits once or maybe twice to offer another appointment, but it does become annoying if a guy keeps texting me and I haven't returned to see him again. It's the equivalent of junk mail at that point. A few times guys have messaged me right after the appointment just to thank me for the appointment and to let me know I could contact them any time for a future appointment. I always appreciated these messages if they occurred right after the appointment and were not followed up with additional messages if I didn't reply to them. I do understand based on previous threads here that some guys don't want to be contacted at all because they feel a need to hide their hiring activity from someone and don't want random messages popping up on their phones. -
amenities include metered parking
maninsoma replied to viewing ownly's topic in Questions About Hiring
It does seem odd to add it to a list of amenities, but maybe this guy's experience is that clients are more likely to see this there than if he just mentioned it in the ad text. While not an amenity, I think it's good of him to inform clients who might not otherwise know that the guy's location only has paid parking so they can be prepared for that when visiting him. I know a lot of cities now have either meter-free paid parking (pay at a kiosk on the block or pay via a phone app), but if this guy is in an area that still has meters that require coins it's best that people know in advance they better show up with their quarters. -
In San Francisco, almost everyone maps to the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Market Street. I'm not even sure why the mapping function exists on Rent.men since it isn't accurate.

I only hired him two times and it was a long time ago, but I didn't experience any odor issue, either. The only way I can imagine bringing up the issue without being offensive is to not bring up the issue but rather to simply say that showering together at the beginning of the session is a major turn on and ask if he can accommodate that request.
-
His Rentmen ad is active now and does list a different phone number than his Rentmasseur ad. I find his Rentmen ad offputting, though, since he doesn't list anything he's into and the text basically lets you know not to expect anything from him other than spending time with him. I take it that he is selective about who he does what with or maybe he just thinks that indicating he is being paid for companionship only sidesteps legal issues, but either way I wouldn't want to hire anyone who basically says you might get nothing from them other than hanging out together.

I was horrified by the mug shot (shows how drugs can really ruin one's looks), and maybe it was included as a cautionary example of "don't let this happen to you." Still, obituaries, if they include photos, generally just show the deceased in some healthy state, not when they are at their worst.
-
You think wrong, then. I don't hope that my favorite porn performers are all straight, and I don't hope the gay ones "settle down with a wife & kids." I get your sentiment -- that once a performer leaves porn that they have a fulfilling life. I just don't think that necessarily means having a hetero-normative life.
-
Wow. That sounds much worse than what I endured. The closest thing I heard (and which makes sense) is that it's generally not wise to comment on people's looks at work at all because what you might intend as a simple compliment could be construed by someone as unwanted attention to their body.

When I was still working, I had to complete this training annually along with a lot of other trainings. It is annoying that, depending on one's work place, the people in charge of this online training have figured out ways to prevent fast forwarding and just letting the training play in one browser tab while you work in another. (The more recent trainings I saw required clicking various areas of the screen to list items one by one, answer questions, etc and then click Next before the video would resume.) It's also annoying that many of these trainings rarely change and it isn't like the material is difficult to understand. Maybe you're just annoyed so you summarized this training in a more disparaging way that is warranted, but if your harassment training really does instruct employees to do all of the things you listed then it seems like a very poor training. While it's true that people in a supervisory capacity have greater obligations to be "busy bodies" and do various interventions regarding alleged harassment, including reporting issues to HR, the responsibilities of most employees are simply to NOT engage in behavior that constitutes harassment.

Is working as an escort very risky?
maninsoma replied to charmasianman's topic in Questions About Hiring
This is especially good advice in this day and age. I was a broke-ass undergraduate student many decades ago, and that was with a part time job while attending school full time. I get the attraction of doing something more lucrative, but if you really are drawn to do this I think it would make more sense to learn massage and then advertise on a masseur website. You could always offer more in person if it feels right, and then you won't have an online footprint connecting you with sex work. You still have the issue of whether you are legally allowed to work here outside of on-campus jobs. Do you want to finish your studies here or are you willing to risk deportation because you have been working in an unauthorized capacity and that's been discovered (or reported) to ICE? -

Meet up that only led to talking a/k/a therapy. WTF
maninsoma replied to Miami305's topic in Questions About Hiring
It's horrible that this "provider" did this to you, but as others have suggested if you find yourself in a similar situation in the future then you need to be more proactive about addressing it early. If I really felt like the guy was such a mess that he wouldn't be able to perform well, I'd simply say something to that effect (more kindly, of course) and send him on his way without paying (or, if I knew he had to travel a bit to get to me, I'd give him a small amount of money for his travel efforts). I imagine saying something like, "It sounds like you have a lot of worries on your mind and this isn't a good time for you to be working. Let's do this another time when you're feeling up to it." That would still give the guy an opportunity to apologize, state that he didn't mean to go on about his personal problems, and initiate what you hired him for -- or he can leave. If he's just playing a game (trying to get paid for doing nothing but talking about himself), then he can make the decision to cut the crap and give you what you hired him for or leave. -
Has anyone hired him? I see his ad indicates he's in San Francisco right now. His rentmasseur ad has lots of positive reviews (though I know those cannot always be trusted), so I'm surprised there's no feedback on him here yet.

Actually, Donny and his brothers sang "one bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch," but I digress. I wholeheartedly believe in using the block function. I will sometimes choose to look at a post by someone I've blocked if it's in a thread where I think their contributions might be helpful, but it's nice just to not regularly see some people's negativity and pomposity.

You are already receiving push-back because of how you approached your query. You want "everyone to chime in" with their reasons for being a client, but you haven't done so yourself. If you're new to this (or even just in the contemplative stage), why not first share what your motivations are and ask others to share theirs? I'm sure the most common answers you'll get: To get men the client doesn't believe they will get otherwise. For example, a youngish jock isn't too likely to be looking for a middle aged or older bear. For efficiency. Because they get excited by the act of paying someone for sex. Because they can afford to do so and don't feel like they need an excuse.

I don't see that image when I go to pornhub.com. I don't know if there's a way to have PHub display gay content by default versus needing to select that option after the home page loads; if so I would think you wouldn't see any (or many) women's photos on PHub if they know you're looking for gay content (though there's certainly bi content mixed in as well as hetero sex that's marketed to gay men such as SG4GE, so you may see a woman here or there). I actually don't mind watching straight sex because there are some hot men who only film straight content. Even though I'm not interested in the women, I have noticed that if a woman is an extreme turn off for me in the same way a man would be a turn off (excessive tattoos, including on the neck and hands) I don't want to watch the scene even if the man/men are hot so I guess I don't totally tune out the women. In terms of age verification, XVideo's landing page has an alert about it as well. I clicked their link to read what they had to say about it and it wasn't clear if they are just intending to require driver's license information to be uploaded for everyone in the USA or if that's going to depend on one's location.
-
Maybe because they feel the options available to select are too limiting and they'd rather have a conversation/exchange of texts about it. I can imagine a guy being versatile for some guys but not others (e.g., not wanting to bottom for guys with larger than average penises). I agree that this guy is cute, and I'd probably find him even cuter without that wisp of a mustache.

Model arrested after husband found dead, repeatedly stabbed
maninsoma replied to Lotus-eater's topic in The Lounge
I don't know these two but I think it's not accurate to indicate that the deceased "stayed with" the alleged killer. He had a stay-away order, after all, at the time of the killing if I read the article correctly, so this could be the type of relationship where one party is trying to break free and the other keeps showing up. True, you could say that the victim in this case should have just called the police every time the guy showed up, violating the stay away order, and it appears he didn't do that. Since the abuse had been going on for years, one could also question why they were still married. I've never been married but I understand divorces that be messy, costly, and take a long time to conclude so maybe that's all that was going on in this case. As written by NipLuvr212 above, there are all sorts of potential reasons why the deceased might have chosen to not break totally free of the alleged killer. All anyone here can do is speculate as to what their reality was unless someone here personally knew these guys. -
I used to hate facial hair, but admit that I now find a nicely trimmed beard and stache attractive on the right guy. I don't get the appeal of Benson Boone, though obviously some people find him handsome.

The original film wasn't over 2 hours. It ran an hour and 42 minutes based on every source I consulted (IMDB, Wikipedia, and my personal copy of the blu-ray). So, yes, it's still heavily edited for The Sphere experience (about 25 minutes chopped) and I honestly don't know what they cut out. It's already a film with a good pace (maybe I wouldn't miss a few minutes cut from the witch's castle and a few minutes cut from the farm) so it's appalling to me that they removed 25 minutes. Beyond that, the clips shown on CBS convinces me I wouldn't want to see this even if the tickets were much less expensive. It just doesn't look well done to me. It isn't like I hold this film as sacred even though it's my favorite; I appreciated the 3D version that came out a little over a decade ago.

buffer body = increased donation
maninsoma replied to viewing ownly's topic in Questions About Hiring
If the guy has good business sense, he'll figure out what price point works best for him. Just because someone gets more buff doesn't automatically mean he can command more money if he already has a negative reputation for other reasons, or if he simply lives in a market where there aren't customers who will pay a higher price. In the right market, however, if the guy is otherwise a good escort I assume that the more attractive he becomes the more money he can request. -
To summarize the previous thread: If using a PC, use Google's Chrome browser. (It might work on others but does not work on Firefox, at least for me.) Some say you have to select a specific country, but I just leave it as Netherlands and it works for me. Paste the URL from the Rentmen.eu ad you want to view. Note that I wrote Rentmen.eu and not Rent.men. YMMV, but the page won't load for me properly when I use a rent.men URL. Click OK as many times as you need to to access the Rentmen.eu page in question. Then you will be able to click on the "Read all reviews..." link on that escort's page which will load all of their reviews, including whatever text was included in the reviews.

Thanks for referencing the previous thread started by hotsaw. It's difficult to take him seriously in this thread given the previous one.
