@RadioRob, appears it must also reduce, recalculate, alter, or calculate differently what was "positive reaction" points as well? It's not a big deal, but I noticed mine changed. I assume others did as well.

This!😜😁🤣

That's nice feedback. You're welcome. Not sure how helpful it actually is, but this has been an interesting story to follow and I share whatever thoughts I have. And he definitely doesn't care about you flashing the phone or admonishing him on the time.."with proof." Let that go. That's very sad that it has impacted you emotionally. Understandable to have differing expectations. You mentioned being in Brussels...is there a language or cultural barrier at play perhaps? And I'm a bit jealous cause this: Especially if it is as hot as it sounds. 😁

I would quit bringing up to him anything about the time shortage and decide if you're in the mood next time he reaches out and just treat it for what it is. No money exchanged. He doesn't care about the time. When you're good and clear headed, you might send him a message preemptively and just let him know up front you will no longer be paying for time should he reach out again in the future. Maybe he goes away...or maybe he hits you up again for a piece and that's already out there. If you take him up on it, I'd leave my $ at home. If he never reaches out again, so be it. You're getting advice to drop this guy. That's probably not bad advice, either. I'm still a little jealous. 😜🤣

You have yourself quite a conundrum it seems. A leopard doesn't change his spots. You are not going to change this guy. Clearly it's on his terms, but you like the sex. The benefit as you're figuring is full service at massage rates. I'd still be willing to wait until he asks again and when he does just tell him if you come over at his request it will be as a booty call and you won't be bringing any money with you. See if he still wants you to come over. I believe in a provider's right to earn for quality service, but that's not what this is. He's wanting ass on demand and to also be paid. Wanna really throw him for a loop? Quote him a price for your next visit. Sounds like there's gonna be one of some sort. 😜 Am I right? 😜🤣

So you paid this guy? 🤔 Those were not your instructions. 😜🤣🤣🤣

I have wondered this as well, and intended to pose the question to @RadioRobin the site feedback forum section. The member profiles seem to be more limited than previous.

United has so many ways out of this deal if it doesn't go anywhere. In the meantime, they get tons of interest and publicity from the public and multiple mentions on all sorts of media platforms. At this point, it's as much about that as anything, in my opinion. If the development proves fruitful and profitable, then all the better, of course.

I saw a brief documentary on YouTube about this. One of the things they mentioned was fuel costs of the Concorde versus the Boom. They said the Boom was to be 30% more fuel efficient and have fewer seats than Concorde did to provide everyone with a first/business class style seat both on an aisle and with a window. A definite improvement, it seems. Nevertheless, I'm sorry to burst any bubbles, but only a 30% improvement in fuel burn doesn't seem like enough fuel savings to offer seats at the prices being touted and be economically viable - especially since, as I understand it, there are fewer seats than Concorde overall to spread that cost over. I'm not an engineer, so maybe I'm missing something, but it seems the fuel savings would need to be much more for this to truly "take off."

What an awesome pair of underwear to show off that bulge! What kind are these? "Hard" for me to tell. 😜

I think it's best to use this rule: If you've only met in private, only greet in private. If you've met in public, then greet in public. I think you perhaps assumed his outlook on the greeting would mirror your own. I think it best to err in assuming he would want to keep what was private anonymous as well. I know I expect that from a provider. Unless you are told explicitly otherwise, to assume something to the contrary is in my view presumptive. To assuage your feelings that you should acknowledge him or anyone else in the future, you can instead walk by about your business and send a private text later. Perhaps then he might give permission to greet in public. I think this is an approach that respects his space and also your desire to say, "Hello."

I just keep reading this all and realizing I must be going to the entirely wrong kind of gyms!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Cause this nor anything similar has never happened to me! 😂😂😂I do tend to be a bit oblivious on picking up on signals...and my gyms are pretty "by-the-book" sorts of places, though. I will live vicariously through this experience, I suppose. Look forward to another entry.

I continually find the general population - of these interests and otherwise - aren't all "thinkers." You seem to be a "thinker." In addition you don't seek to harm and you wish to deal in an upfront manner. Finally, you seem to be sincere, and want to assume others are. I have found these attributes to be in the minority, unfortunately. So, proceed with caution is a good plan, but these individuals often don't want to have a serious conversation and when "thinkers" do attempt to have these conversations, we are dismissed as "over thinking or up tight." Wait. I'm sorry. I got lost there...this is about you. 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry for my digression. If there's any of that that's helpful, use it. Apologies for getting lost in my own experiences.

Go get him, Tiger! 🐅😜

This is fascinating! Thanks for sharing, @KrisParr! I say, keep yourself guarded and see where it goes. I think it makes sense to be cautious and enjoy it for what it is for now. Time will tell, but keep us posted. This is the most exciting thread going on here right now...outside of @RadioRob's tech updates! 😜🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding...sorta. 😜

Related to the subject, when I first became involved with the board, I saw the "follow" feature and assumed that by following or being followed, that those members' contributions would be highlighted as they occurred...like other social media. I can't really tell that there's much to "following" on this platform outside of an initial notification that you have a follower, and/or that they are interested and/or appreciate your contributions and/or his ass or torso in some cases 😜. I do wish that that feature provided additional value. I haven't paid it much attention once I came to the conclusion that there wasn't much to it. EDIT: It currently says you'll be notified when those you follow post content, but I have to say that has never occurred for anyone I followed specifically. Perhaps that changed with the new platform? If so, that would make the feature more worthwhile.

It is extremely hard to maintain the physique he achieved or has - even with supplementation - without a lot of effort, especially as years pass. Seems this guy should be in his mid twenties now (which isn't old by any stretch), but that 24/7 gym lifestyle is not really a healthy one. Add mental instabilities (which seem plausible), and that could be one explanation. Another scenario is if he is in a bulking phase, and is fluffier than when he is "cut up"...again, difficult to be totally cut year round and may not be his goal. Most body builders cycle between seasons. Also, sometimes it seems that some reviewers on RM with an axe to grind will click that box as a jab at the provider, and/or they are unfairly harsh. Usually can tell this if surrounding reviews seem to contradict it. Finally, he could have totally fallen off the "fitness wagon" and had a hard time and let himself go. I have messaged reviewers on RM for clarification before. That would be my suggestion.

Why do I get the idea it's San Diego? I thought I read that in some of their content. 🤔

Several good definitions here with specifics. To me, more generally... He makes it feel like he wasn't hired.

I guess I'm a live and let live guy. If this is your "line in the sand," I respect it. I think the OP is getting some candid advice here, though as to the downsides. It's his prerogative to draw that line, and say no face pics, but that has a definite cost. Same is true for clients whose prerogative is not to hire without the face pic. I do perhaps think that there are some potential compromises like offering potential clients a short video call and/or the option of a 5/10 minute no obligation face to face meeting and allow the client to walk. As a client, I understand the need for anonymity - even for a provider. This isn't everyone's full-time or long-term gig. They may have family or professional considerations, but lamenting that it hurts business seems futile except to get it off one's chest. Beyond that, it's just the result of drawing that line in the sand. Would I hire without a face pic...I actually have, and wasn't disappointed, but it is rare that I would do so, and only if other elements of a profile gave me enough to go on. I think each person is an individual, and base my decisions on my read and sense of that individual. Only rarely has that approach not worked for me.

Thank you, and understand totally.

Seems like this was discussed in one of these threads, but I can't find it to add the comment there. I think I recall @RadioRobindicating that the reaction icons could be expanded. I find myself missing the applause reaction. Not a huge deal or urgent, but I register the feedback here, which seems as good a place as any, and certainly not important enough to create a new thread over.

I had vowed not to offer any critique or complaint, but I will admit that the interface does seem to be more sluggish for me as well. Not sure if everything is fully loaded yet, though, perhaps that is part of the issue. 🤔

Cool feature!

I'm guessing he travels. ??‍♂️ He hasn't come up before in area searches.
