I guess I'm a low maintenance client. Never once have I asked or wanted a provider to come for me, and I was rather unhappy with a guy who went and did it on my couch without warning.

Tell me about it. I've had to supervise Gen Z workers who don't have basic knowledge. Like how to Google something if you don't know, or what year the Civil War started. And NONE of them read; they just half-listen to streaming shows and podcasts, and don't absorb it. General discipline is the problem. When I had my first job out of college, and was 5 minutes late one morning, the boss told me if I did it again, I wouldn't be coming in again. I can't imagine a manager in my firm doing that today. Likewise, you have to treat them with kid gloves. This morning, some juniors made the same deployment error they've made 6 weeks in a row. I'd be gone if I had done that 20 years ago; now you can only "constructively aid" those lazy bastards into doing their jobs.

I should clarify. The kind of "client" who would screw with a Latino wouldn't be a regular. They'd be those guys who endlessly text and screw with escorts. I can see some doing this. But the biggest effect I think are the platforms themselves - RentMen, RentMasseur, MintBoys, etc. I hate to say it, but undocumented escorts on there are very low hanging fruit for authorities. I wouldn't be surprised if ICE agents book providers, then arrest them for deportation. This will lead to a high turnover rate from foreign providers, and more precautions on facial pictures. Every week, more RM ads go faceless.

Sounds right. I've had to fire Gen Z escorts (personal) and employees (as part of a group). Being on time is the constant problem. One new finance guy never showed up until 1030, even when he had morning meetings. With Gen Z escorts, it's a coin flip if they even answer your text, and they tend to think they can reschedule you whenever they want. I'm sure a little starvation will improve their attitudes.

I am wondering if unscrupulous clients will take advantage of this situation. ICE is planning to open an "illegal immigrant hotline" and encouraging people to report anyone suspicious. How many people might hire, say, a Latino, and after they had their fun, tell them to leave without their money, else they'll call ICE? And in what places would that be a credible threat?

I can only think of twice where I hired someone I had hired long ago, and both times, the second visit sucked. Probably because, in both cases, the escort was technically "retired" and there was nothing negative I could report about them.

Agree. I mentioned earlier the drug-addicted (but now sober) provider who got escorted out by security after threatening a manager and myself. He also texted me with several different phones with angry texts. I ignored it, blocked all further messages, and it stopped after 2 weeks. If you can't afford an attorney, just tell the cops that the guy is crazy, that you had a hookup and now he's calling you a prostitute, etc. No officer, after reading some of the above texts, would believe a single word that guy says.

Yes, Kenya sounds like a safe place to visit. I know gay refugees from Uganda find safety there, at least.

Idiotic shame around a natural healthy process. Some things never change. I read this when I was younger and always quote it: "99 out of 100 teenage boys masturbate. The 100th is lying."

Yes. On Grindr they ALWAYS ask for deposits. It's like a side gig for some people.

When I was younger, we called it a "sympathy f*ck."

Around $10,000

You did one good thing I think - even though there's no full face pics, people can see if you have facial hair.

They already did. In that episode, the guy who killed the health insurance exec was let go after a hung jury. Luigi Mangione: "Law & Order" episode had similar story line 20 years ago WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM A "Law & Order" episode from 2002 focused on the murder of a health insurance executive in New York City.

I think that's where the nastiness starts in bars. When I was a young "twink," I also acted nice at first, but found that attracted the wrong people. When I look back at, say, my late teens and early twenties, that was the rule. I recall a somewhat quiet, chubby gay classmate who was really nice and came out of the closet. A few months later, and he was this rude rave-goer who acted like he was a lot sexier and important than he really was. I came this close to telling him, "I liked you better when you were shy and insecure."

That would be another good approach. NYPD should be forced to explain why they perp walked him like a Columbian drug lord, complete with that corrupt mayor, after a massive and expensive manhunt. Plus the extra criminal charges. Apparently, the death of a health insurance CEO is more important than ours.

It's hard to claim "moral outrage" when Mangione didn't have any known connection to UHC (if he or a loved one had been a UHC denial victim, that would be different). The only tactic I can see is a combination of diminished capacity (caused by his back injury, isolation, etc.) and a rigorous questioning of the evidence (namely the chain of custody), while also somehow getting UHC and Thompson's wrongdoings in front of the jury. That way, the jury has a legitimate excuse to have a "reasonable doubt," as they did when they nullified in the O.J. SImpson case. The only problem is that this time, the defendant has a written manifesto/confession. Unless that's suppressed as evidence, any defense will be extremely difficult.

All it says is that Listerine gives an extra 30% to your chances of gargling the gonorrhea out of your mouth... 😫

There are providers who advertise on Grindr, but I never mentioned RM to them in chats. I have reached out just to see if they react. I don't believe anyone is required to respond to a Grindr text, nor do I answer every text I get. One of them, when I said hi on Grindr, said he was having trouble paying his electric bill, and sent me a shot of a bill saying $350. I sadly told him I never let my bill get that high. 😄 I wouldn't reach out to a provider on Grindr looking for freebies, but if enough other guys do, I can see why they wouldn't want to engage with clients there.

Women threw themselves over this guy?!?

Dude, that murder happened in 1989.

Name several others. That's not what I see.

You can brush your teeth, but make sure you do it at least half an hour before going down.

Georgia, 2019. They stung gay men on Grindr. They claimed an offer of a joint constituted prostitution.

Convenience seems to be the main reason, although I also would prefer hiring variety. Not to mention, I only get intimate with age appropriate partners. A harem, on the other hand...
