Agreed. I always provide my basic stats along with a simple face/torso photo (wearing a t shirt). no nudity. I'm not trying to attract a Grindr hook up.

The point is: there IS already enough reason to be concerned based on the Mount Sinai report. So ignoring valid data because you dont like the messenger is beyond stupid. Better safe than sorry. Pharmaceutical companies always do their best to bury any negative side effects of their profitable products.

Correlation is not necessarily causation. But...it does give reason to be concerned enough to NOT jump to conclusions until additional research is done. There is a little more here than juat a "conspiracy theory" by the HHS secretary.

Haven't seen him since before Covid. His RentMasseur profile states he is a new parent. So sounds like he had some family time during his years away.

No face pix but one photo shows a dark hair mustache. So...questioning the validity of the photos paired with a blond/blue moniker when I already see brunette facial hair on the photos provided.

OK.....and..... Still off topic. The discussion is about flakes. Most recently about glamor boys who are too good to be bothered. I know you dont have any experience with gorgeous men...so tell us about the ordinary looking men you prefer to shag. Did any of them flake on you ?

Why ? Actors act. You don't need to be a magician to play a magician. Plenty of British actors know how to do an authentic American accent.

Seems like a deli price. Hes looking good in those new pix.

Yet you dont. What does any of this have to do with flakes ?

I remember seeing this picture of him when he was young. Kinda cute in a nerdy way.

What's your opinion about flakes ?

To a DEGREE. Yes. But there is also a very established RANGE of what people MOST consider LESSER and what MOST people consider BETTER. It's not just about MY tastes. Anyway the thread is about FLAKES, and not about paying good money for boring guys without a six pak. I think the point was started that some of the most beautiful men available on Rent.men are as flaky as the gentlemen who pretend to want to hire them.

Well I personally don't subscribe to the "I will fuck anything that moves" viewpoint, but I am aware that plenty of people's standards are appropriately low because they shop where they can afford to shop. But to me, if you're PAYING good money, you shouldn't be buying week old hamburger. Go for the Prime Rib. Women don't "prefer" old-dad-bod unless old-dad has a thick wallet. Back to the subject of flakes...there are always plenty of Instagram types who make plenty of money from their ONLYFANS account. I see no reason why they would even bother escorting, if they aren't going to provide a superior experience. I DO agree with you. Better to go with the more ordinary looking guy who goes out of his way to suck your dick than hire some beauty queen with attitude. Just saying, I personally don't see the point of PAYING for "ordinary". Lots of damn good looking guys who ARE good at what they do. Just might take a little more time navigating and sorting through the losers.

🙄 Some people swear that McDonalds is their favorite restaurant too. To each his own. But I do agree that looks ALONE do not a good escort, make. When I PAY for company, I want QUALITY. That means a balance between superior looks and personality. I always say, the hottest guy I ever had sex with was also the worst lay I ever had. So nice abs and a nice personality trumps a ripped-as-all-hell asshole.

Try clearing your cache. A quick Google search will tell you how to do that if you dont know.

Not "straight" here...but this is how it is for me and my wife. We are both bisexual and have an understanding that extra curricular same-sex activity allows us to satisfy our diverse sexual interests but engaging in outside heterosexual activity would feel like "cheating". I realize this sounds a little fucked up, and maybe the logic is difficult to understand but we BOTH feel strongly about the matter. And we both (to the best of my knowledge) have always respected that agreement since we married 20 years ago.

I am honestly baffled that this is confusing to people. Especially gay men. How is it that so few people here understand that lots of straight men dabble in homosexual activity ? Or is it that you guys are still believing that old trope, "once you suck a dick you're gay" ? To @Gilfson 's point...yes technically bisexual. But there are millions of men who are functionally bisexual, but ONLY identify as straight. So obviously THAT is who @Fridolf is talking about. I remember when I was in Istanbul. Loads of really handsome young macho guys out at night, cuddling with their ( obviously ) gay friend. I was intrigued by the whole scene and surprised there were SO many handsome "gay" men in Istanbul. I was staying at a bed & breakfast owned by a young and very "hip" couple...and I brought up the subject during a chat with them about the diversity of the city. They smiled and said "AH...that !" They went on to explain that in their culture it is very important for men to marry a virgin. But that this has become a problem in modern Istanbul, because many women are wanting to attend college and even start a career before marriage. This presents a problem for all the young ( horny ) men. So it is common for those handsome macho men to take-on a gay male companion, for whom they offer protection from harassment in exchange for sex. The fascinating thing is that the effeminate guy is "gay" and being harassed for it, while the macho guy is "straight" because he is masculine, defensive of his companion and sexually dominant. I think this was the most obvious example of the sub culture of straight men engaging in frequent homosexual activity, that I've run across in my travels. The social construct is that dominant men are straight, and passive men are gay.

Would be interesting to hear from some providers who do actually understand the issue of "straight men' hiring.

THIS has been MY understanding of the world for the last 30 years. Ive known many, many men who identify as "straight" because they are only romantically interested in women. That hasn't prevented them from having sex with men and some approached me for sex because (they said) I wasn't "gay" therefore (I assume) that made their sexual advances less gay ? So I think what @Gilfson is struggling to understand is that: although a man who has sex with men is effectively not 100% straight, his IDENTITY may likely be based on his romantic/relationship status, not his sex life. That may seem illogical but Ive run across this MANY times in my life...as a matter if fact I might even venture to say I think as common as there are 100% gay men. So..YES identity is more important than activity to many people. Thus the high percentage of men who are "straight" and hiring men for sex. (Not romance).

For this little shop...no. Definitely not "software". When you walk in (when there's not a line) the gentleman who owns the shop or one of his sons, looks you straight in the eye, smiles with a look of joyful recognition and recites your order before you've even fully approach the counter. Never looking at a computer screen. Always eye contact. The overall effect makes you feel like you're a family member...not just another customer. Needless to say, they have been wildly successful in the community. Wonderful business strategy and yes...incredibly baffling to remember that many people and that many orders. But they all do.

It seems that everyone has their favorites. When I go to this place, I go for something in particular. I am sure if I ate there EVERY day, then I would have more variety in my order. As far as coffee.. THAT is always a repeat order for most people.

The questions are so overly simplistic that I cant imagine anyone being surprised by the result. Do you have sex with men? Do you prefer sex with men? Do you think of men when you j.o. ? Do you lose your hard-on when you think about a woman ? IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO ALL OF THESE YOU'RE GAY. I mean....*duh*. 🙄

*yummy* Pix are NOT familar. (At least not as an NYC provider)

They've been serving the community this way for more than ten years. Long before computers took facial recognition to a new level.

There is a small family owned coffee shop and lunch place near my house. The owner and his two handsome sons all possess a memory for people's orders that seems beyond the normal realm of the human brain. If its breakfast, they know my order, if I walk in at lunch they know THAT order ..as I stand there waiting they systematically tell every person who walks in the door their order before they say it themselves. Its like watching a magic show !! Not to mention, the place is always busy and therefore I am talking about 100's of orders every day. They never cease to amaze me. I always wonder what the secret is.
