With his hair styled as it is plus his facial expression, in the photo he looks a lot like Helen Mirren did when she was younger. See the above photo.

No information. Likely friends or clients of an agent. Too many similarities in the ads!

He said he will divulge the name if you PM him.

It will take more than a "nice web site" to get the kind of money the guy is asking. A 33 year old "twink" (as he calls himself) with a web site like he has cannot be serious. Maybe he put up the website only as a test without any real expectation of getting any clients.

He has some terrrible rentmen reviews. If you have a VPN, you can read what some of his clients wrote about him.

A "twink" at age 33? Those photos in his ad must be outdated.

You are correct, the masks are now cheap. Based on the below cited article, "more than five euros" was the initial price but now the prices have come down: https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20210125-austria-makes-ffp2-masks-mandatory-in-shops-public-transport

I reported upthread that I recently returned to the U.S. on Austrian Airlines. At check in, I was told that the thin blue mask I was wearing (that most people wear in the U.S. and elsewhere) are not acceptable. I was directed to one of the stores just past security at the airport to purchase an N95 mask. The masks are not "less than a euro each" rather, they are six euros and are not sold in bulk at the airport stores. I did not check in town to see what the bulk prices are. In the the U.S. I would not wear such a tight fitting mask. I had to wear the mask for ten hours on the airplane and when I got to the U.S., my ears were sore and tender because of the tight fitting loops that hold the mask to the face.

Two weeks ago I returned to the U.S. from Austria wearing the typical thin, familiar light blue mask we buy and see in the markets and around town in the U.S. When I checked in for my return flight to the U.S., I was told that the thin blue mask I was wearing is not acceptable for passengers on Austrian Airlines. I was then told that I had to buy an "N-95" mask that is sold at stores just past security in Vienna. The masks are quite different and fit tighter than the thin ones we are used to here. After the long flight, wearing the tight fitting mask, I noticed my ears were a bit tender from the forceful stretch of the band that holds the tight fitting mask. I fully understand their rules. I wonder why we in the U.S. are allowed the flimsy thin blue masks seen in most places.

Even though this thread includes a title of Austria, the thread really is about controversy over coronavirus vaccinations. Below is a link to Brazil President Bolsonaro's ridiculous stance on coronavirus vaccinations. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/bolsonaro-covid-vaccine-brazil_n_619c3cf9e4b0ae9a42a4fafd Despite Bolsonaro's foolish encouraging people not to take the vaccine, Brazilians are ignoring him and are vaccinated at a very high percentage rate, more than 70% thus far and the vaccinations continue.

How do you know that your body "can produce antibodies for many many years"? There is so much research on the subject that changes by the day and by the location of where the study is conducted. Antibodies weaken over time as is agreed by most medical scientists. For you to say that your body "can produce antibodies for many many years" is not supported by anything authoritative I have ever read. Some irresponsible news casters and other loonies say the strangest things about the virus and what it can and can not do. Even Bolsonaro, the president of Brazil, recently said that those who take the vaccine will eventually turn into a crocodile. Quite simply, almost every day, something new is learned about the awful virus. If vaccines have been shown to reduce the number of deaths and the severity of the illness if the virus is acquired, I am at a loss to understand why people refuse to accept the vaccine. That is, of course, unless they believe Bolsonaro, of Brazil.

And which century will that be in the United States?

You remind me of my cousin. He is a total anti-vaccine person. As a result of his opinion about coronavirus vaccines, he cannot join us on trips to places that insist on seeing a vaccination card. As a result, we travel but leave him alone at home. How sad it is that he is misguided into thinking that the vaccine will harm him. His being left out of joining his family is more harmful to him than his imagined fear of the vaccine.

Based on the below cited article from NPR, your statements are not true and are misguided. The virus is relatively new. Doctors are learning new things every day about the virus. One thing for sure is that immunity (either from natural infection or vaccination) weakens over time. That is why there is a current need for a "booster" vaccination. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/08/20/1029628471/highly-vaccinated-israel-is-seeing-a-dramatic-surge-in-new-covid-cases-heres-why

Austria is very serious about controlling the virus. Throughout Vienna there are many kiosks that allow anyone, including foreigners, to get a free covid test. The test can be either an antigen or PCR. Anyone who plans to travel to the U.S. can go to one of the many kiosks and get a rapid test and have the results within fifteen or twenty minutes. The results are sent to your cell phone, email, or handed to you if you wait at the window of the kiosk. I was in Vienna earlier this month and I was impressed how organized the covid testing was set up for anyone who wants or wanted a test.

That is true for most of the escorts that have been around a while and who treat their clients fairly. It is the newer guys, many with lousy reviews on rentmen, who think they can command higher prices equal to the rates of escorts that have been around a while and have made a name for themselves with clients. The above is a major reason for the supposed shortage of clients. Or, clients unwilling to pay inflated rates for almost every provider advertising.

Are you sure it is the same jacobtop? I have known him several years and I have never known him not to keep his word. If it is the same person, something bad happened or he lost his telephone and could not communicate with you. He would not simply "ghost" a person; it is not his style.

Think of how many clients you would save from a similar horror if they were to hire that awful person.

Health issues is a broad term. Even supposedly healthy people, who are overweight, have health issues. Look around, a huge portion of America has overweight people.

In all fairness, the article you quote and sited has a disclaimer near the top stating: This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice. Therefore, like many studies involving the virus, this study could also be misleading.

Where are you finding these rates? Rentmen advertisers ask for a lot more than that when you contact them. This has happened with me and several friends who find the increased rates (some rates doubled) and insistence on a deposit (in advance) ridiculous. No wonder there is a shortage of clients. We are tired of getting ripped off.

I don't think that clients are getting scarce. Clients still exist. Clients are being more picky when choosing a provider. I think that many clients are disgusted with the rates jump of 50 % or more. Worse than that, too many providers insist on being paid in advance or want deposits. Also, I have noticed that more providers use drugs, which is a turn off to me and likely to other clients. Hence, a shortage of clients or an increase in clients more selective. Things change.

Lyft does not operate in London. It operated mainly in the U.S Edit: Lyft operates in the United States and Canada. The company sets specific requirements on the vehicles used by drivers and has several different categories or levels of service. The Lyft app for smartphones notifies passengers of the driver's arrival and gives them an estimated cost in advance.
