My two cents, or less (as I am a top/dom myself). Lot of red flags on this one: 1. Payment up front is a small thing, so just a pink flag, but a flag nonetheless. 2. The Mystery of the Altered Account is a big red flag. You can still read the account of possible theft, because other board members pasted it in their replies. The About-Face of Afterfallhours (a relative newbie) raises more concerns unless there were a really good explanation. 3. The note from Mike Thomas, who has been here for a while, strikes me as a genuine endorsement. Other encounters are by newbies, including one who reports that the provider is a clock watcher to end all clock watchers. This may be a great find, but I'd proceed with caution. Await intel from more experienced board members like Mike T.

The best is Tristan Baldwin. He is passionate, muscular, imaginative and experienced in the sack. If you go for handsome, muscular guys, he is an excellent choice. He lives near Hartford and does in- and out-calls, though in-calls have a limited time frame. I notice that his ad is not up its usual location (Hartford CT), so I wonder if he is taking a break? He has a lot of other interests--including military air shows. So he might be out for a bit, but I hope not retired. BTW, I believe Tristan is a member of the Message Board, so you might try to contact him that way.

I made a date with him, but he ghosted me. Not entirely surprising in light of earlier comments in this thread.

FRAUD ALERT There are multiple threads on this scammer. Because he has changed his name, I cannot identify them--but our techy colleagues will be able to do so. He has been using some of the same pictures for decades. Indeed, the new ad has pictures that make him look younger than the pix he was running in the 2000s. Stay away.

Marylander, it was the oddest exchange. I made your assumption, that I should get to the point more quickly than I usually do--but he kept asking questions and suggesting details. Sometimes long intervals between his texts. Late at night, I suggested a rendez-vous, and he did not respond until I was ready to go to sleep. So we worked out a deal for this morning. While I was asleep, he upped the donation, which I vetoed when I woke up. More texts. He suggested we get together at his hotel, I suggested a time . . . . Then crickets. Oh well

FilthyFckr - Male Escort, Gay massage - New York City | Rent.Men RENT.MEN FilthyFckr Gay Escort in New York City, New York, available for Gay Escorting,Modeling,Erotic Massage. | Find all the best Male Escorts at Rent.Men Looks like an experienced guy, but new to RM? He seems like the real deal, but no reviews. And I admit that the RM pix do not reveal much about his body. He is handsome from my POV, but I realize his looks would not appeal to most MB members. In any event, any experience with Filty Fucker? He hails from NYC.

TotalPackXL - Male Escort, Gay massage - Philadelphia | Rent.Men RENT.MEN TotalPackXL Gay Escort in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, available for Gay Escorting,Boyfriend Experience. | Find all the best Male Escorts at Rent.Men 411 on this fellow. I like his RM pix and his "likes." That he is German is a nice change of pace; I exchanged messages with him and believe his English is excellent. His RM reviews are not the best, so a red flag there. A whole set of red flags from the prior MB thread on him operating under a slightly different name (see below). Nonetheless, I am curious and have found him very responsive in texts he has sent me. He seems engaged by my roleplay ideas, and my bet is that he would be an intelligent partner. BUT there is some negative feedback--and a lot of complaining about flakiness.. Has anyone actually met him? Intel of any sort appreciated.

Mike, thanks for the excellent research. A few first-hand reports that are encouraging! Anyone else met him?

Wow AZDR, thanks for your detective work. I did a search but none of these earlier threads showed up . . . . He certainly has been flakey in communications. I guess he is hit or miss in sessions. A real shame.

Lamusclevip - Male Escort, Gay massage - Atlanta | Rent.Men RENT.MEN Lamusclevip Gay Escort in Atlanta, Georgia, available for Gay Escorting,Modeling,Erotic Massage. | Find all the best Male Escorts at Rent.Men He must have been discussed on the Message Board, but I was not able to find a thread. In any event, he has been around for a while, has great RM reviews, an awesome body--but very uneven in returning text messages. I have missed him--but is he worth hiring?

Mike, thanks for the helpful link. Lotta red flags for this one. Caveat emptor.

Dys_passive - Male Escort, Gay massage - Washington | Rent.Men RENT.MEN Dys_passive Gay Escort in Washington, District of Columbia, available for Gay Escorting,Erotic Massage,Boyfriend Experience. | Find all the best Male... I dunno about the name (Dys) but the ad is excellent, and his pix are hott. He has 15 great reviews and one that was balanced but negative. The main negative was the following: His ad lists that he is into kissing & I indicated that I love passionate kissing. When I attempted to kiss him he quickly pulled away, turned his head & closed his lips. I also made it clear that I wanted him to cum & asked him to tell me upfront if he couldn't or didn't want to cum. He said nothing & based on his body language during the session, he did everything he could to not cum. That would be dispositive for me--but has anyone here met this guy? Reports on his willingness to kiss?

AZDR, thanks for your detective work. I did not see the very odd thread about this provider. In any event, I met with "Trunks" in NYC and had a great experience His RM pictures are 100% accurate--and when he smiles he is even more handsome. He is very passionate (which I love) and is a bottom or sub most naturally. We did nonstop french kissing and a mildly rough roleplay. He was very much into the session, and I left very happy. In the previous thread, it appears that a favorable review was AI-Generated. Great detective work! My experience is not AI-Generated, and I am a longtime participant in the Message Board.

Trunks_Brazilian - Male Escort, Gay massage - New York City | Rent.Men RENT.MEN Trunks_Brazilian Gay Escort in New York City, New York, available for Gay Escorting,Modeling,Erotic Massage. | Find all the best Male Escorts at Rent.Men Kinda odd name but very attractive ad. He seems like the real deal and has a few rave RM reviews. But still relatively new to the RM scene--so: Any intel? Thoughts on the ad? Thanks in advance. BTW, although he is in NYC now, he was in Boston earlier this week. I don't think NYC is his home base.

I saw him a few times years ago and really enjoyed the experience. He was handsome, had a great body, and was passionate and kinky in bed. Honest, fun. He is older than 35, but I believe the pictures in his ad are genuine, and the more recent ones probably reflect his current appearance. As I said, he has always had a great body and expressive handsome face.

Color me skeptical . . . .

Previous thread suggested that he was playing some kind of game--great messages from him, sexy pix, but did not follow through on hook ups or proposed meetings. So a bit of a mystery

There was a previous discussion of this provider. He charged a lot but I don't think anyone actually met him?

Honestly, if there is anything we have learned from the Message Board, it is that gay or bisexual or pansexual men have widely varying tastes. Repeatedly, we have seen differences in taste become personal pissing matches. It is a human impulse to regard one's own taste as "best," but if you fall into that trap you are misunderstanding the world we live in. FWIW, I find the doctor very handsome in a classic 1950s way; as I grew up as a white guy in the 1950s, he would have been very sexy to me. The mug shot of the apparent murderer struck me kinda the way it struck Pubic Assistance: strong jaw, handsome brown eyes, very masculine aura. Personally, I am not attracted to facial hair and strongly prefer more hair on the top (hence, I really like the clean-shaven doctor), but I do not see "thug" in that photo.

Wide variety of opinions in this thread. I for one am indifferent and often don't even notice when a guy (or a gal) has a visible tatt. FWIW, I found Vin Marco's posts most illuminating and educational

I remember the controversy over the Lin design. I for one found it a refreshing change from the stolid memorials that already dotted the Mall area, but veterans' groups were on the whole quite critical for the same feature. (Lin's ethnicity might also have played a role.) Visiting the Memorial once a year (on average), it is my favorite. I have been pleasantly surprised that veterans' groups as well as popular opinion have turned around almost 180 degrees. The war was a tragedy. Those who died deserve to be remembered by name. Bless the architect.

Tristan's response reflects what an honorable, big-spirited person he is.
