Bet they never mentioned all of Alexander the Great's adventures, either.

Yes.  Everybody, even the ghosts, kept all their clothes on all the time.

I agree with your sentiment, but I think you’re greatly overestimating the self-awareness of the average man.  There’s also no correlation between money and cleanliness (with the exception of obvious examples such as homeless people).

A wild-arse guess, but I suspect he is sure.

Whitman wins because his posts are more numerous than anyone else's, and they are more numerous because they are almost all individual photos in the galleries. I don't think anyone is complaining about that, and the galleries are easy enough to ignore if you are not interested in looking at them--there are plenty of other subjects here.

A wild-arse guess, but I suspect he is sure.

Please don't be shocked that someone is posting here on an actual Friday.
Despite their use going back a long time (think FDR, JFK and LBJ), the Economist has published a light hearted lament at the increasing use of TLAs (and other sometimes indecipherable abbreviations and acronyms), from RGB, MBS and MTG to the endless list employed and understood (or not) in social media. For those who have access to the site, it's here.
The author notes wryly (and I suspect falsely) TBH IDK WTF a PSA is.

Ready for spring annuals.   It has been a busy spring with non escort clients and tax season for sure.    Ready to get out and with it with both annual planting and perennials.  I not only have a green thumb,  but a green hand as well.

Don't forget about the incredible Christmas party that RM throws for their premium members.

After the abdications of King George VII, Queen Charlotte, and King Louis... lol

Good bed massages are possible, but most of the guys offering bed massages do not give good massage services. It’s difficult to do so on a bed. More often the bed massage approach is really more of an escort type session. It varies. A table is a sign of professionalism, being intentional, and taking their work seriously. I personally would stick to guys who bring and work on their own tables. 
As for the parking, tough tits. The masseur made the decision to stay in that hotel or that neighborhood. He either isn’t thinking about client convenience when making lodging decisions, or he just doesn’t care. You might infer his attitude and approach extends to his service. If you’re on the fence, I would pass since the chances of him disappointing you are so high at this point.
- OR if he’s really hot to you, consider hiring him for true escort services instead of (or in addition to) massage. Assuming he offers escort service. Yes it’s more money, but the value to you may be much higher and your expectations won’t be shattered when you discover he’s only mediocre at massage. At least you’re still going to have a great time. You can get a great massage from a skilled, if perhaps less attractive, man for a reasonable price any time.
I lived in an historic high rise downtown building in Dallas and occasionally clients had to pay for parking, maybe up to $10. Most of the time they could use the two hour free guest lot on the premises. The few exceptions applied for longer appointments, certain times, or the client preferred the paid lot for security. It made sense for me because my day job was walking distance away and my clients were seeing me traveling dozens of miles in every direction. Being central meant that none of them had to drive a long ways across to the other side of the metro area. Some complained about the parking, even here on the forums. Oh well. If that’s the worst they had to say, I am doing pretty good.
Since then I have taken the feedback and let it inform my choices. I have been very intentional about my studio location. It’s on a residential street in a nice safe neighborhood with ample free parking right in front. It’s new construction. The area is central to my new metro with convenient freeway access. Lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance too. I pay a significant premium for all these things. The client never pays for parking, never has to walk far along a low traffic street. ATMs from every major bank are a block or two away. Even a gay owned pub and whiskey bar is a block away for clients to enjoy before or after. It’s all by design, to be convenient for the client.
When I travel, I look for the same types of things, with client convenience in mind. I pay a premium for it too. Keep that in mind when you book traveling masseurs. The nicer the experience they provide regarding location, often the more they are paying out of their pocket to visit your city. You want quality.
Be willing to pay for quality, too. A so-so bed massage you pay $200 plus parking for is not the same as a pro massage from a good provider renting a house in a nice neighborhood with space for you to park for free and for him to set up a large table, towel warmer, etc. I argue those things are worth the $200 sticker price, assuming he does good work.
I don’t even charge that much myself. I charge my regular rates when I travel. Currently $150/hr. I stay booked and fill cancellations quickly because my value proposition is high and my cost is low. It’s easy to tip my services, and most do because you aren’t paying top of the budget prices to begin with. It feels better to me when a client willingly pays more to show their appreciation and support of my work. Better for him, better for me!
Please do tell us what you decide and how it goes.

The search function is your friend!
 
 

And with appropriate flair, but never consider an unfashionable one!

I looked up the address on Google Maps -- the house is right on the line next to Great Neck, the thinly disguised "West Egg" in The Great Gatsby.  But yeah, it's still QUEENS!

LMAO…I resisted the temptation. 
$11,200 a month…to live in QUEENS?
"What kind of moron….."
grin

That's true of any message board, though. By and large, trolls get bored and toddle away if they're ignored.
Personally, I really value the input of the providers who post here and I think Mr Cross sounds like he has interesting things to say. Plus, there's always the possibility of his finding work here. I've met a couple of providers through this site, one of whom is likely to become a firm favourite.

I watch a left-leaning British politics podcast not known for its favourable attitude towards the monarchy or the king himself but it recently selected him as its hero of the week from its panelists' nominations for a hero and a villain. They noted that since his announcement there had been a marked increase in men seeking prostate tests.
In case you were wondering, their villain of the week was not one of the usual roster of politicians but rather five African grey parrots who had been removed from their public-facing place at a zoo for excessive swearing. When they were moved, the other parrots they were placed with also learnt to swear. Zoo-keepers were planning to put them into a larger flock of birds in the hope they would alter their behaviour to be more like the others. What could possibly go wrong?

Okay, I guess Basstiann is better. To quote the first sentence of his post:
 
the people who is writing here are probably just frustrated guys

There will be a variety of opinions about what 'should be' the going price in any city, but 'should be' doesn't make it so. Escorts have the option of setting any price they want, and clients have the option of paying it or not. The going rate in a market is what it is, what someone thinks it should be won't change that. Is hiring an escort a luxury? Maybe, maybe not. Not all escort experiences feel like a luxury, and from reading these forums as long as I have, a luxury price tag is no guarantee of a luxury experience.  Businesses like to portray their products or services as luxurious but reality bites, and they have to offer a product that's truly outstanding or offer a service tailored to a price point they can achieve. Escorts are not exempt from that economic reality. As @BuffaloKyle said $300-400 seems to be where the NYC market has landed. You can wish it were otherwise (higher or lower) but don't hold your breath.
I'm not altogether sure that this thread will elicit any new insights that threads about prices haven't already offered, but we can hope.

he does not mention that he is on rentmen or acts as a provider in that article -  Just because you found face pics of him online in another capacity does not make it OK to out him here.  
 
If you find someones instagram and they post face pics on there is it ok? If someone found your face pics online in another unrelated website would it be ok to post here?   
No. It's not ok. 
This provider very deliberately only has blurred photos on his profile.  This is such a violation of consent and the post should be taken down and Respect his boundaries. 

'When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean–neither more nor less.’

This reminds me of the difference between kinky and perverted
Kinky is using a feather.
Perverted is using the whole chicken.

When you look outside your window, do you still see Al Jolson dancing the charleston atop a flagpole?
