How do you define "wealthy businessman"?

I did not say or imply that. Please read my post again (portion copied below). "If rentmen is furnished with proof of a fake ad, often the ad will be removed. However, I personally know of several fake ads that are still running despite rentmen's knowledge the ad is fake. Rentmen makes money from advertising. It is not in the financial best interest of rentmen to remove an ad." ___________________________________________ Rentmen does not knowingly accept and post fake ads. It is some providers that furnish fake ads to rentmen. It is rentmen's inconsistency of removing or not removing ads that is baffling. It could be an oversight by rentmen for not removing the ad. The provider could furnish "proof" (bogus) for rentmen in order to keep the ad displayed. I do not know the criteria rentmen uses to retain or remove an ad. It appears that reports to rentmen of fake or stolen photos in an ad usually result in a fake ad being removed, but not always. I do know that the ad removal criteria is inconsistent.

And would you be so kind as to tell us how it is enforced for the provider to "present himself accurately"? There are so many fake ads on rentmen that it would be impossible to make an accurate estimate. If rentmen is furnished with proof of a fake ad, often the ad will be removed. However, I personally know of several fake ads that are still running despite rentmen's knowledge the ad is fake. Rentmen makes money from advertising. It is not in the financial best interest of rentmen to remove an ad. Despite the above harsh comments, there are many honest ads on rentmen. The problem is knowing in advance which ads are bogus and which ads are not.

You have done a splendid job. Thank you.

I agree, a provider should have up-to-date photos. However, it is not only out of date photos that are an issue in some cases. Lots of providers use photos of a different person then have the nerve to expect a client to "take the bait" and continue with the encounter. If the provider is aggressive, how does the client "decline at that point" with a possibility of danger if declining? It is not always easy to meet new providers.

Your post is excellent and deserves to be stated as so. I have had similar experiences with providers. Therefore, I can relate to what you wrote. Thanks for such an eloquent and strong statement.

On him? Cheaper than the second hour.

To quote Oscar Wilde - To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. Seems to fit that provider

My being an optimist, I tried calling the Club Tobi again today. In the past, even a couple of weeks ago, the number just rang and never answered. Today is the first time that a recording comes on when calling that says (in Spanish) that the number is no longer in service. I am really surprised that the place closed. It had to have been a great money maker for the owners of the club and for the many guys who made themselves available to customers for a fee. Who would have thought such a busy and wild place would suddenly cease to exist! How sad.

Language and expressions change over time. A few years ago, I was often called "Dude" instead of by my name. Those who used that term were not close friends. I did not take offense. "Bro" or "Dude" (or a mixture of such names) are merely comfort terms used by those who do not know you well.

Prior to United Airlines selling Covid tests that are used in privacy in a foreign country and are acceptable for return travel to the U.S, from an International trip, I used the services of hotels where a nurse or medical employee came to the hotel and administered a test and furnished a negative Covid confirmation. However, the cost of that private service was around $250.00 and sometimes $300.00. Considering the United Airlines tests cost $25.00 including the Covid virus clearance, I cannot see the point in spending an extra $225.00 or $250.00 for someone to come to my hotel when I can do an equivalent test in privacy via the Whatsapp photo with a medical person watching on a video screen while I do the test. I later receive an e-mail clearance from the medical laboratory that is associated with the United Airlines tests and which are acceptable for return to the U.S., assuming the test is negative. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2021/05/12/united-airlines-and-abbott-labs-offer-international-passengers-cdc-blessed-covid-19-home-testing/?sh=302e7f365549

While what you wrote is GENERALLY true, providers learn from each other either through a minor friendship or word-of-mouth. That is why many provider rates are similar and/or within a certain price range. It is when "co-worker" providers talk among themselves (bragging about charging high rates) is often when asking rates increase beyond reasonableness. Not all providers know one another but certainly, many keep abreast "through the grape vine" what the rates are for their services.

Many providers do not respond to messages from potential clients. Hence, it is not a bad idea to send out "bids" or inquiries to multiple providers in hopes that one will respond.

A quote worthy of consideration: The most valid and reliable cognitive assessments are anything by Wechsler, Stanford-Binet, or Kaufmann if you’re looking for a broad-spectrum assessment that will look at your cognitive profile, rather than just give you a single number. However, any valid and reliable assessment requires a licensed or certified examiner to administer. Your examiner will determine the best method to assess your cognitive levels, and use that. Online tests? Not a single one. Don’t bother, unless you’re just playing around for fun.

For United Airlines passengers traveling to foreign destinations: United sells a pack of tests (minimum of six tests) for $150.00. A passenger takes the unused tests (or how many the passenger might need) along to the foreign destination. When the passenger plans to return to the U.S. (the day of the flight or the day before) the passenger uses a cellphone with a camera lens turned on to call a toll free number of the laboratory that is affiliated with the tests. While on the video phone call with a laboratory employee, the passenger points the camera at the test and swab so that the laboratory employee can watch the test being administered. After ten or fifteen minutes on the phone together, the laboratory employee looks at the test vial. If the test shows negative, the laboratory sends an e-mail (and enters the negative test result) to the passenger. According to United Airlines, the test is acceptable by CDC to return to the U. S. Here is a link to the test, if anyone is curious. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2021/05/12/united-airlines-and-abbott-labs-offer-international-passengers-cdc-blessed-covid-19-home-testing/?sh=302e7f365549

There is no way to know how long it will take to renew Global Entry. My renewal took several months but I did not have to have an interview. There also is no way to know whether an in-person interview will be required. There is no pattern for renewals. Even spouses who always travel together internationally will experience one spouse getting quickly renewed while the other spouse must wait months for renewal. If anyone has a lot of time to spend, the link below will take you to a travel forum that discusses this very subject. As you will see from the countless responses, some people have waited more than six months for renewal while some get renewed in just a few days.

Several years ago I visited Medellin and went to a sauna named Clube Tobi. I heard that the place went out of business. However, I cannot find any confirmation that the facility is really closed. Doing a Google search shows that the last reviews were a couple of years ago but the reviews gave no hint that the place would close. When I last visited there, the place was busy and had no hint that it might not exist for years to come. Many times I telephone the listed phone number for the sauna but it never answers - day or night. Does anyone know the current status of the sauna? Here is the latest I can find about the sauna. https://www.ellgeebe.com/en/destinations/latin-america/colombia/medellin/nightlife/el-club-de-tobi Thanks in advance

I must be misreading your response. I think he asked "Getting a hot escort in places like Mexico City, Bogota or Rio costs as much as hiring one in New York or LA?" You answered in the affirmative. I have been to South America more than one hundred times and NEVER have I known of an escort charging as much as escorts charge in NY or LA. For example, in NY or LA a "hot escort" could charge around $400. At today's exchange rate in Brazil, that would equal R$2,041 local currency. In all the times I have been in Brazil (or other South American countries), I have NEVER known or heard of an escort to even attempt to charge that kind of money.

The photos that you attached I found a bit humorous. That is because in my earlier post I commented that some of the customers do not wear shoes because the floors are very clean. Sure enough, in a couple of the photos you posted, it shows clients sitting in a chair without shoes of any kind. Walking around a sauna shoeless or without at least some foot protection is not for me. That is how relaxed and mellow Paragonya is.

You will be very surprised when you visit Paragonya for the first time. Initially, the sauna is awkward to locate. It is in an office-like commercial building. You would not expect to find a gay hustler sauna in the type of building the sauna is located. You must ring a bell to gain access. The place is exceedingly clean and is nicer than the fine sauna in Barcelona (Thermas). The horrible hustler sauna in Madrid (Adan) is no longer in business so you will not be tempted to visit there. In addition to providers available in Paragonya, there are many older Swiss customers who come to the sauna who sit in the bar area and visit with one another, not particularly looking for a provider. However, some of these regular customers have favorite providers they engage while in the sauna. Many of the customers walk around without shoes because the floor is so clean and made of excellent material. After arrival in the sauna, if it is busy, you will soon see some handsome provider giving you a look that you cannot resist; then you will find yourself on the second floor of the sauna sampling a unique very fine gay sauna with providers for pay.

I do not know if there are pay rooms. I never tried to find out. Usually, when I arrived at Paragonya, I quickly met a provider and reached an agreement. Out of habit, I always went to the "rooms" that are without cost. If there are "pay" rooms, I will try one on my next trip to Zurich. Yes, there is smoking allowed. However, there is no smoking allowed on the upper cruising level. There is a bar on the lower floor with a semi-restaurant along with a very nice sitting area near the bar. In that area, smoking is allowed yet smoking is not allowed in other parts of the sauna. To me, it seems silly, to say smoking is not allowed except in designated areas. Tell that to the smoke that floats through the air that can be smelled easily by those of us who do not smoke. The minor irritation of smoke does not out-weigh the fun that can be had with a provider in the sauna.

Rather than taking a provider to an airbnb, if meeting with a guy in Brazil for only a sexual encounter, there are countless "hourly" hotels in Rio and Sao Paulo. The providers know where the "hourly" hotels are located. The hotels cost around $R20 per hour unless you rent the "hourly" room for a longer period of one hour.
