If you hire on New Year’s Day, you must hire twinks only. If you have a twink that’s bright eyed and bushy tailed, you will have luck the rest of the year. GayFirmations 20:26

How this plays out. You transfer the money into a crypto account at their suggested exchange. For awhile, you might be able to take out small amounts as a test. Soon you’ll get pressured or enticed to invest large sums for even more gains. They might even offer to match funds to get you those higher gains. Now, if you transfer a large balance, it will look great on the app. But you can’t get the money out without paying a mystery fee in the thousands. Pay that, and now it will be “taxes” preventing you from withdrawing. Yeah, you are never seeing any of that money again. Pig butchering because they are going to use every bit of that pig to market. Often the folks working the call centers are often modern day slaves brought to a shady friendly country for “data entry” work. Once there, passports are seized and they are forced to do these scams with actual violence befalling them otherwise. Reach out to your lonely friends and check in on them. Even folks who “know” better, sometimes get suckered.

Out gay since 18, had a nice period of fun from 18-21, then the deskjob and good paychecks added to my waist line. 28yo started a long term caregiving arrangement that last 12 years. Somewhere along the way in my 30s, I started a strip club habit and then hiring occasionally. It was easier than trying to date and explain how I can’t host because my mom lives with me. Now pushing almost 50yo and terminally single, I’ll occasionally look on Grindr but I don’t have an issue with paying for massage or other companionship. Go out of my way to treat everyone with some respect and kindness. If I end up dating again, I’d be open to it. Just don’t expect the strip club habit to go away. Hiring negotiable. I’m a bit set in my ways, and don’t want to date someone clutching their pearls at a little fun.

That’s super sweet, and probably a minefield of “catch feelings” - which is alright if you are mature enough to navigate. Sometimes folks feel safe with each other just like any other social/professional interaction.

Just because it’s “work” doesn’t mean it always has to be difficult. Sometimes you get a work task you actually enjoy doing for a variety of reasons. Same goes for this. I know one twink was genuinely into the daddy type, and did massages. I’m sure there were some clients that were a challenge. Others were simply the easiest money he ever made. Another amateur masseur he was into feet and loved playing with girthy guys. Everyone has their turn-on’s, and sometimes fate gives you an easy job which you go all out for, but still collect that paycheck at the end. If it feels genuine and actions support it, don’t question it.

Putting it out there. Met up with Gabe while he was in Chicago. Pics accurate, and had a real fun time. Fits the bill if you are looking for a Brazilian Twink. Everything was accurate as listed.

Stopped by on a random Tuesday for their towel night. Not a bad crowd for a Tuesday. Something for everyone. Bartenders good eye candy as well. All goes in cycles. Hoping the dancer lineup for the weekend is a bit more polished and less trade. However like I said, something for everyone.

These are life goals!

Has some reviews on RM now. Curious as well

Not to make light of the situation, but remember the Simon and Garfunkel song - 50 ways to leave your lover. In seriousness though, sounds like you may have caught some feelings here. It happens, but remember this isn’t a reciprocal relationship. It sucks, but you are ascribing more to the arrangement than is actually there. You want to take the high road on this - “hey, it’s been fun. It’s best for us to take a break, and reset.” You can be respectful, but you have to be honest with yourself first. This sounds like you were trying to make a BFE into an actual arrangement. That’s a separate but adjacent world. You may have gotten lucky by finding an escort who values his independence more so than manipulating a steady income stream.

Suppose that might be some blow back with AI, folks might get tired of the ai slop flooding the market and return to in-person interactions.

I have to remember - if given the choice of in-person v/s OnlyFans. I should default to in-person strip club experience. LOL. OnlyFans is great at parting you from your money, but I do miss the in-person interactions with the strippers. Crazy amount of bots out there constantly hitting you up. The strip club is a much more metered interaction. I fear the OnlyFans world might be reducing both the strip club business demand AND talent pool.

I’m guessing he is probably a kept man at this point. He has a social media presence, but it’s not updated with new content. Good on him, hopefully he makes bank and doesn’t squander most of it.

Reminds me a bit of Brad Gemini before things went sideways with him.

Curious if anyone seen this guy dancing in FTL? He’s lowkeyjoeyx on OF. If so, I may need to head south for the winter.

Looks like he is doing onlyfans collab’s with Artiomboyx - a 3 way 30 min scene for $99. I just have a hard time justifying that.

He’s a twink, who bakes, and has a love of old land yachts. When I was 20 years younger, I would have likely married him on the spot. Now, I still would wanna hang out with him. Mainly for the baked goods.

Aye, I may be a bit hypocritical. I park the long term oh shit everything has gone to hell I shouldn’t feel bad liquidating this pile. True immediate emergency fund is cash at home. I view the ibond as something more than the savings account, but going to month to month emergency. As opposed to I have sell funds out of my brokerage in a down market to keep from eating alpo and a roof over my head type. It’s just hard enough to get transferred that it’ll prevent be raided for a new car desire versus need.

Decent rate - I view it as the place to park the emergency funds. I’ll likely optimize/trade up from the lower fixed rate .9% bonds, and that will take me up to the limit for the rest of the year. I’ll lose 3 month interest, but it’s unlikely to see higher fixed rates anytime soon. God help us all if we do.

There was a Monopoly slot machine that had old Uncle Pennybags occasionally exclaiming - “Gold never gets old”. I flirt with the idea of gold as an investment, but then Warren Buffet words about investing in 100ounces of gold versus 100 acres of farm land - in 10 years the farm land would have produced something for society. One day I might buy a coin or two but it will be more to look at/admire than serious investment. When shit truly hits the fan, you can’t eat gold.

I found that treasurydirect is getting more and more unreliable. I snagged an additional $5k, I’ll wait to see what the rates are for the rest. The website being finicky on when it will decide to be available is causing me some pause. Like seriously?!?! They don’t want paper bonds anymore. It’s the middle of the business day.

I played the VIX for awhile in 2016-2018. Played again the past couple months. I did alright, BUT, I don’t have the stomach for the gamble and watching the news cycles. I have a day job, and it distracted me too much. I also feel like the volatility is a rigged game. Folks are moving the markets with timed statements during market hours. Sooner or later, there’s going to be a crisis of confidence. Because folks are going to see through the empty talk and lack of hard numbers while businesses and consumers are frozen. My advice from the volatility day trading, do it out of a Roth account so tax time isn’t a headache AND never stay in it when you can’t watch it. If you stay in a position too long, it can drop like a rock quickly and then you have to hold until the next crisis. These days that’s like a couple days…. Ha!

I won’t be giving any financial advice for anyone. I rebalanced in February, and thought I was crazy. Now it’s officially crazy times. Everything to follow is your mileage may vary. I’m not a professional advisor. Just middle aged single income a bit cynical doing alright for myself. The thumb is on the scale in the markets, and speculation is a fool’s errand. Agreed with BuffaloKyle in this case. If you are in the market, keep some quality companies and time for diamond hands. If you can’t stomach the gyrations, just don’t put new money in. Build up a “sleepy money fund” in high yield savings/iBonds. Sleepy money isn’t bad if it helps YOU sleep better. Back to basics - try to zero out your debt, live within your means, etc. it’s not get rich quick, but it’s peace of mind.
