I don't hire without seeing a face, and I have the money. Providers have the right to hide their face; I have the right to hide my money. If a provider is clearly trustworthy I'd exchange photos. Otherwise, I treat them the same as the closet cases on Grindr.

I have a provider I'm the "Chicago anchor" for, and he's been very reliable and loyal. Nonetheless, the following happened at the end of our first meeting. Posts - including from a trustworthy member of this forum - warned that he was bad with scheduling, and was flaked on by him. I warned him ahead of time about that warning. He arrived on time. I let him know in the meeting that kind of behavior was unacceptable. Afterwards, he insisted on sitting and watching as I gave him his review. He wasn't forcing me; just seemed like mild intimidation, as he's not a violent person from what I've seen. At the time he was relatively new and desperate for reviews from Premium members. Not sure who was being more manipulative. He has a guaranteed hire as long as we're both in Chicago at the same time, I get special treatment, he knows to show up on time, so all worked out.

I would recommend. For a Latino twink, he's very skilled and cooperative. As a twink, he has practically no arm strength, but does have a decent chest. His kissing was excellent, which is the top item in my book. Just turned 22. I'm sure he'd bottom but you guys would have to ask him. He speaks practically no English, but is adept and eager to use translator apps. His texts came through translated, and when I wanted him to do something, I'd just plug it into Google Translate, and he'd always do exactly as I asked with no complaints. He was respectful and humble, and has a car and is able to travel. I was very impressed by his punctuality - he arrived right on the dot, with no prompting, something I've never seen from a young Latino before. His looks are different from the "standard", but boyishly handsome - he claims to be Venezuelan, and his nose would indicate Moreno indigenous blood. I "retired" the last Latino twink from my pool 1.5 years ago, and I believe I'll add him to the rotation (I prefer muscle but do rotate based on my tastes for the evening). He asked for 350/hour; he immediately accepted my 500-for-2-hour counteroffer. He did ask for a 50 deposit, but I refused to send more than a token 20, which satisfied him. He had enough positive reviews that I could lose a 20 on a chance. The only negative was that, near the end of the session, he seemed antsy and was texting a friend until I convinced him to put his phone down. Otherwise he was attentive. I'll leave out the gory details; I just recommend, especially for the type of guys who go for young Latino twinks, and who are good with translator apps.

In ideal roleplay, I'd have them wear certain costumes, but I wouldn't dare in real life. I'm sure those costumes would offend people. Especially if they're culturally or racially coded.

I'll let you know after tonight.

I bet lots of guys are afraid of retaliation or something for bad reviews. Something that never bothered me.

That's pretty much the only way to get reliable reviews. I reached out to a client of a provider I wanted to hire. Although he left a 5 star review, he said he hated it and warned me to stay away.... ....and CoM's thread on the guy bore that out.

Oh I stop then. Hence the "tease" remarks, even after I make clear I don't do anal sex with random hookups. Now Im starting to sympathize with teenage girls.

Yup. It's like monetizing a FWB.

Chat: "Oh sure I'll respect your boundaries!" In person. "You know you want it, you tease."

Hey - I met a masseur who felt he had the right to f*** _me_ right afterwards. Which is ironically something I'm not okay with. It's been said - YMMV - but I've found that older and more mature masseurs are a lot more open to doing extra with customers if they find them attractive. Whether you want it or not.

That's such a common scam I do leave. Or cancel last minute.

Definitely talk up the "law school" background. Lots of lawyers love to hire. (I'll stop now before a lawyer joke comes out)

I go back and forth. My policy is not to pay for what I can get for free, and I'm still young looking enough to get guys I like. Obviously, the apps attract less attractive guys than I could hire. Unfortunately, I have to put up with a lot more attitude and idiocy with Grindr, not to mention forgoing the more violent parts of my roleplaying. I've only met one guy on Grindr who I dated for a significant time afterwards. The app has too many pure horn dogs who just want to bend me over the second I arrive and kick me out five minutes later. The gay community is doomed at this rate.

I didn't like it when my bf tickled me, so no to escorts doing it. I have no need to keep them happy.

It wasn't until I was in college that I studied under teachers who were actually smarter than me. Thank you, American public schools.

Escorts, like Grindr hookups, sometimes can't help but open their mouths about politics and kill the mood. The worst are the wannebe SJWs who are really ignorant, and just have knee-jerk reactions to everything without any brain cells to think critically.

I'm glad I got it cut off when younger. As an adult, I'd probably chicken out unless there was a given medical reason for it.

One of these years I'll go. I need houseboy advice.

In the U.S., if you're a citizen, you can decline biometrics and ask the agent to do a manual check. They usually just glance at me, the passport, and wave me through.

Mine claimed his finger slipped and apologized.

"Power & Liberty" by Gordon S. Wood, which looks at political philosophy and how it changed during the revolution. It's an influence in Ken Burns's upcoming documentary on the American Revolution (mid-Nov) so it seemed like a good time to read it.

So that's what Archimedes did that make him jump out of the tub naked and yell 'Eureka' 😂

Broke the Second Commandment. Needs to do a penance 😛
