DrownedBoy

During the pandemic, I paid my longest-term regular a small fee to sext for awhile. It was awkward and I think we were both laughing by the time it was done. At least I was. I just can't see the attraction in it.

It happens. I've seen providers with many good reviews have to take breaks for personal, mental, or drug issues that were interfering with their escorting abilities. This could be any of the above.

That's how a friend of mine texted everyone to bring "condom mints" to a picnic because he didn't have anything for the burgers and dogs.

Read that NYT article too. I had already heard of the Zelle crackdown, and had already stopped using it. There was another article (can't find it) about how groups in support of SESTA-FOSTA have absolutely no idea what real life sex workers experience. Banks do keep an eye on withdrawals as well. I've gotten used, when I take out money through a teller, to chat about my "upcoming visit to the local casino."

I'd hate to see the training data for such an AI.

This law is idiotic- like the one article said, there's been only 1 conviction for sex trafficking, while the supposedly trafficked are being punished. Why don't they find out how many congressmen paid for sex? I remember what Larry Flint did during Clinton's impeachment, and I loved watching a hypocritical conservative get booted from the speakership.

Yes. In Illinois, like some other states, all parties have to be informed of being recorded, or it's a crime. Federal law doesn't care as long as the recorder is being recorded themselves.

I've always been liberal in my reviews. As long as our agreement is fulfilled, I give them 5 stars. There's a lot of things that bother the hell out of me, but not other people. Likewise, I've seen other people criticize my regulars for things I don't mind. Unless someone robs me, I've adopted a policy of keeping negative remarks to private messages. And generally only when I'm asked. That way, they can decide what to do with my opinion.

Have you tried waiting until after 4 p.m. to book a room? They drop their prices since it's unlikely they'll get customers. I've saved about a third of the overpriced, undeserving hotel fees that way. If there's no events near the hotel, and no reason to expect it would fill up, you can get roomd a lot cheaper. I've done this several times when grabbing rooms to meet providers in. Again, it only works on down days.

As much as I'd like to correct your misconception, I'll restrain myself, as you don't need to know that much about me.

Okay, I'll just hit thieves with a tazer, give them a few whacks with a baseball bat, grab the envelope back, take their cell phone, then kick them out. Happy?

We come from different worlds and backgrounds. I would think you would have figured mine out by now. In my world, you never allow a thief to take your money.

So do I but most are too smart to come after me. I'd prefer the law change so we can shoot burglars in the back. Recently, an escort (now banned from RM) completely lied about his appearance, snatched the envelope and ran. He would not have made it out the door if it wasn't for these idiotic laws.

Oh come on, I came out during the 90s when the older generation began struggling to stabilize their HIV with drug cocktails. Young gays who looked hot were still arrogant narcissists, with the added benefit that they were partly closeted. Not that I can blame them, since I was young and also got tired of how entitled some of the older ones acted when they hit on them.

Hey I met a Latino once who didn't speak a single word of English, but he was able to use the following grammatically correct sentence after our session. "Hey, do you have a tip or something extra for me?"

I can see what you're getting at. I never had problems having casual sex with a friend or aquiaintence. However, that was only possible because we had a strong NSA understanding and similar views on sex. As for a provider, I wouldn't try to get closer unless the business relationship ended. Also, any relationship I have needs to be open enough so I can keep hiring. Nice to have someone to go shopping with.

I've had providers who listed "Kissing" on their ad. When I contacted them, they said they kissed with their tongue. When we met, they wouldn't. One kid that happened with, he told me that he "only kisses on a second hire." Cute, but that ensured that I'll never feel his lips.

Europe in general is a lot more strict with private data than the States, although states like California are tightening the ropes. That's why several companies just got fined over there. It would be ironic if Germany decided that RentMen was "too much personal data."

Second that. I have a premium RM account as a provider, and it doesn't stop little brats from screwing up appointments.

As always, assume the other guy is poz. You control your own prep status and nobody else's.

Venezuelan women already joined the market in NYC, and your mayor is complaining about it. I'm willing to bet a lot of Grindr ads will pop up from the refugee camps. Same happened in Europe.

Yeah. In addition to the fall in demand, don't forget the likely jump in supply with the recession and fewer jobs. Venezuelan women refugees already caused certain Columbian prices to go down. I wonder what will happen when they build the tent cities this winter.

I've had a provider do that to me, while I was trying to make him into a regular. He forgot about the appointment, then kept claiming he was coming, but stuck in traffic. After 30 minutes I told him I wouldn't be hiring him anymore. Such foolishness. Tossing away a chance to make a regular by lying and screwing with peoples' schedules. Not a winning business model, for sure.

That's why "amateurs" should bring in a discount. I have a regular who brings a second boy if I ask. He's not as good as a professional, but I don't pay him as much as a professional. He's just a student who needs extra money sometimes, and I believe young men should get a good education. Both my regular and the kid realize and accept this, as do I, since I know the boy won't be as good as the regular.

Yup, that's the reason I don't hire younger escorts anymore. I recently cancelled an appointment with a Latino boy because he was going to be 90 minutes late. Even worse, he got huffy with me when I told him I was cancelling, since it "wasn't his fault" he was late (of course, his phone "accidentally" ran out of power while he was lying on the beach). I don't need that, and I'm sure as hell not going to pay for that kind of sh!tty attitude. After 10 minutes, I ask for an ETA. If it's going to be 30 minutes or longer, time to cancel.
