Can you bypass that by making more than one payment at a time? I think they might look deeper at personal transfers, since a lot of businesses give deals if you pay them personally (or in cash).

What these guys said, Bobby. I'd love to meet you, but there's a lot of bad people on The Best Flex - usually a lot of homophobic bodybuilders who aren't willing to do anything with another guy. You have to be extremely open on what you're willing to do to grab overnights. And RM is the place where you can list it. EDIT: Also, I wish it didn't, but the Omicron scare will probably hamper both hiring and travel until early-to-mid-February in the States.

I'm willing to bet it will take until several months after the surge ends before I start seeing the muscle I like. Last year, I met some guys with good muscle shots on RM, but they stopped working out during the pandemic, so their bodies got soft. I can't wait until they get a few months of lifting in so I can enjoy some hot young muscle again.

Yes - I've found if you're in South America, you can get a really top notch bodybuilder for a long overnight at 1000. That helps them a lot when they're in training. But I do think overnights can be overcharged, especially when much of the time is spent sleeping. I've met American guys who limit an overnight to 6 hours. That's way too short, and not worth it.

Awwww....no kissing....

Ah. Another of the NYC Russians with aspirations to creative writing.

Ditto, except that I look for bodybuilders willing to kiss as well (nothing more serious), but that demographic seems pretty small.

Can you comment on how large his muscles are in person?

Yup. He could have made several hundred a pop for worship sessions; on the inside, he's going to belong to whoever has the most cigarettes. If the newspaper account is correct, sounds like a stupid rich boy who got 'roid rage and wanted to advance his inheritance.

I haven't hired since around Halloween. If I were back in Chicago, I would be hiring. However, my office (which is in downtown Chicago) just closed back up again until at least mid-January, and I bet they'll be closed all month (after the latest surge dies down). Practically every branch of my family, and whole clusters of my co-workers, have gotten sick with Covid (apparently) Omicron, and it's only been causing minor, if any, symptoms among everyone I know. However, when my office is closed due to Covid, I stay in my vacation place in rural Wisconsin, and there's no (desired) providers available here unless I travel to a larger city. But I've spent most of 2021 abstaining from the hobby, so I can wait until returning to Chicago.

This may sound weird, but I tend to be nice to my regulars about this. I've actually told them, if they have a chance for big money, like an overnight, to give it priority. However, this is only because I insist on having a professional, business-only relationship with providers, with the solid understanding that nothing passes between us except money and services.

What reality do you live in? Guess what. If I go to a store, and they act like they don't want my business, I walk out. I work hard for my money, and worked even harder to get where I am...far too hard to be shamed by some quasi-Marxist spouting bad analogies.

If I'm paying a provider 2 or 3 times what I'd pay a therapist with a Ph.D., they damn well better have a good attitude. Sounds like some providers want to have their cake and eat it too. That's fine. Don't expect me to fund it.

I blocked him after trying to set something up. He has a really bad attitude, with his "I have a real job so I don't need to do this" vibe. He wanted a picture or a full description, including my ethnicity. I balked at that, asking him why my race was important. He replied I was free to hire someone else, so I took him at his suggestion.

I was just wondering - from both provider and client perspectives - if the latest Covid surge, from Omicron, is slowing down business. I stopped hiring when Omicron broke out, and considering how contagious it is, it seems like a good idea.

"I spent my youth years in harsh Russia, surviving in the cold and tempering my character as a man. And in the end, when people came to the Western world, they saw the embodiment of God in me, the ideal of the human form, people began to fall on their knees at my feet just begging for the opportunity to touch perfection." Tell me about it. Although the grammar and flow could be better (indicates an ESL).

Yup. I'm sure escorts don't need more text clutter, so I just sent my favorite regular a small gift. Seemed like a good idea since I'm not hiring during the Omicron surge.

Ha! I hired a white provider who did just this.

Someday I'll visit. I was an anime freak when younger and have fond memories of shows with host clubs.

Visitors, at least in Chicago, tend to be a lot more expensive, both in rates and their demand to get an Uber. I prefer establishing a "regular" relationship with providers, and with my schedule, that's really difficult with visitors, especially if they're only in a week or so.

Don't forget the sob stories.

What a shame, and I almost tried to hire in Chicago, but turned him down because he got arrogant with me.

If you search the threads, you'll see the last experience I had when I tried to hire him again. He got all aggro like he was on drugs, so I blocked him. Feel sorry for Gio. I tried to hire him, but he turned me down and tried to get me to hire Alex. I flatly refused and told him why. He kept insisting Alex was a nice guy. He deserves better.

I would have hired him in Chicago, except that he makes clear in the ad that he won't kiss.

I like living alone, and could never trust a provider enough to let them live with me. That being said, I've heard of a lot of men in gay neighborhoods (e.g. Boystown) often have an extra room, often for homeless or financially insecure guys, where it's simply a free room for sex exchange. When I was (much) younger, several of my friends were propositioned for such by both single gay men and couples. Personally, I think that's a great way to wake up with a knife between your ribs. However, is that still commonplace? I've read recent accounts from homeless guys about that, little of it positive.
