I noticed that too. Neil was never a great looking guy to begin with and now he's getting old and grizzled, the hot young hook ups are not believable.

Strangely he wasn't even that old. Maybe in his late 40s. I did think it was pretty out of touch for that period so I find it particularly strange that gay men in 2020 are still afraid of discussing their body with a straight doctor

Didn't assume you were being snarky. 1991 Syracuse New York Upstate University Hospital

I remember when I was in my 20s and I was first experimenting with gay sex, I had some medical problem that took me to the walk in clinic at the nearby hospital. I mentioned to the doctor that I had been engaging in penetrative sex with gay men as a bottom. His response was to tell me I was breaking the "natural law and angering God". That's why I was sick. I reported him to the administration as being unprofessional and they simply assigned me to another doctor. Although I found this medieval attitude counterproductive, I can't say that I've ever assumed it would happen again and it hasn't. In 2020 I rather assumed the medical profession had modernized to a point where personal opinions on homosexuals don't affect a professional medical opinion. Sad to think that wouldn't be true, unless we are taking Arkansas or Mississippi.

Maybe I misunderstood...I saw an ask of $2K. I'm assuming that's mortgage for some people. (Mine's more than 10x that. But I live in NYC)

Both my wife and I like to cook and also prefer to prepare all the food when we entertain large groups . The one thing we ALWAYS do is hire a bartender. I couldn't imagine anything more tacky at a private party than to have a tip jar sitting there sending a message that "these two are so cheap I am relying on tips".

2.5% ?? How sad. Well that's definitely not a viable retirement plan !

I'm confused I brush off guys like this on Grindr What about this skinny pup warranted a mortgage payment for you ?

Yup 👍 Don't waste time doing what someone else does better.

Hmm. I knew much of ancient architecture was painted ( rendering the beauty of the subtle shadow play invisible ). Rather sad to know some of the beautiful sculpture was also originally colorful and not as elegant as the raw beauty of shape and shadow

Craigslist ? Does that still exist ?

It's not even sidewalk quality. I give him points for originality of his business model

Ummm. Yeah. Run * don't walk

Don't we all ? But eventually reality takes over and no one buys your mediocre "art"...so commerce drives you to another profession that pays the rent while you pursue your passion

50 year old chubby escort is probably a niche interest ..so not gonna be many takers on here.

This guy's been 40 since I was 40.

Seems like an attempt to explain away his Rentmen profile as "I was just using it for my art". In spite of the profile description, he lists escorting, bodywork, erotic massage and boyfriend experience in his offerings so clearly there's time available to enjoy his other skills after the paint party is done. Although his "art" is probably better than most could do...it's not good. There's a little technical skill, but I didn't see one piece in his online portfolio that has a drop of artistic merit. Apparently, a failed architecture student as per his bio, he is now realizing he needs a day job.

Well...his "no drama please " does indicate he has some experience dealing with gay men 😆😂😉

I have met multiple people via their app messaging and did not provide my phone number. I have two teenagers in the house who don't need to know everything about my private life. So I can't risk a random text message coming in while my phone is laying on the coffee table or kitchen counter from someone trying to arrange a massage or hook up visit. I do however understand the concern over anonymity so I do my best to be a true gentleman in my other communications and happy to meet in public first if my concern for privacy seems different from single gay men who have total control of their smart-phone .

I might point out that any businessperson who deals with the general public has to COPE with the occasional ups and downs of income and a fluctuating reality of crazy people / nice people / regular customers and disappearing souls. I don't know how most anyone does it. I only work via referrals and I still end up with the occasional nut job.

Pretty common. Age carving and old pix. At least some of these guys do post one (older / chubbier ) recent pic by burying it at the end of their album. That way, when you complain, they can point out the one photo that actually looks like them.

.. or can't get it up for the old / fat daddies who are willing to pay his rates .

Spent a weekend at home in bed after a recent back injury ( herniated disk ). Started binge-watching the Umbrella Academy. I had heard of it before but assumed it was typical Marvel Comics superhero stories which doesn't interest me, but was pleasantly surprised to discover it was more. Good writing, storylines, art direction and character development. Also some great, great music choices. Thought this group might also enjoy the inclusion of two openly gay characters ( one who transitions to parallel the actor herself/himself as he/she transitions in real life.) The kid who plays #5 is a phenomenal actor at only 16. Overall ...lots to like, all wrapped up in a varied time-jumping, story line with great music and art direction.

There are several $300 "massages" mentioned in his comments section. Assuming these are more than just a massage.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that video of her Mini coupe speeding through a residential neighborhood like a rocketship .
