I loved how, with Mike, when I asked, "Do you have a blindfold?", he just reached into his bag and grabbed one.

I only know one instance where this happened. According to a regular, a guy tried a bad bill, but it was so obviously counterfeit that he rejected it on first sight. Most counterfeit bills look pretty crappy. I am worried, though, what will happen if you have a stash of older, 1980s hundreds (which use an older design).

Met him twice so far. I enjoyed his company, and he's a nice guy with a good body, but travels a lot, which makes setting up appointments somewhat difficult.

It's not a tip, but after seeing a regular for 5 years at the same rates, I insisted on giving him an "inflation adjustment" after the past year. Mainly because he owns a car and drives to me, and gas prices have exploded.

I recall an escort who was really full of himself (he thought he was a professional model). Really lousy session. At one point, he started laughing at my Asberger's and saying, "You're like Sheldon on Big Band Theory!" This reminded me of a comment I had earlier read on this board - an overweight client got told, "You should be on The Biggest Loser." Gotta admire these lovely attitudes, guaranteed to result in repeat hires...

I was going to say he's "still muscular," then I realized it's been at least 6 years since our only session...

In terms of response time - I was wondering. If some guy was a regular who you knew well and trusted, would you be willing to do an outcall "immediately" if they asked?

This. One reason I don't spend much time chasing high priced visitors is because they apparently think that if they're worth that much money, they're better than everyone else. And they brag a lot, which is a bone killer for me. I still recall a guy who got some photos published, so he thought of himself as a professional model. I kept my mouth shut as to his probable career prospects.

Ditto. On RM, I went to give a visitor 5 stars, but found I was blocked. I figured he was either weirded out by my RP fantasy, or he was afraid he did a bad job and was heading off a bad review. Too bad if it was the second option.

I put on tighty whities that have been slit in strategic places. Then ask them to tear my underwear off.

Damn that's a good find. Have to check his NYC prices though.

It never is. At least it's easy to block their number and RM ad.

No oral, anal, or kissing. Yeah sounds like a deal....

This is a shame. I have relatively new regulars who are hungry for reviews, but $10/month just for that is too much. That's double what Amazon Music costs.

I've heard talk of the "phone number" list as well. It must not be screened, since I have a single "bad" mark, probably my former regular who had a roid rage problem. That's if what I heard from one escort is true.

Have you ever wrapped a fifty around your driver's license? 😄

I have to ask - if you don't want to use RM, is it easy enough to pick up guys for hiring? Or safe?

Your co-workers are not your friends. The company you work for is not your family. Your boss isn't really concerned about your well-being. And....

Well, he didn't even bother returning my text when he visited Chicago, so I suppose he's busy enough.

Yes - I did (I only focused on one person at a time). I generally do this out of courtesy to escorts - I don't want to waste their time or contact them needlessly. However, after reading the feedback on my question, I'm thinking if that's one of the reasons why. If it's common for escorts to text with multiple clients at once, I guess it's okay for me as well. If I would have contacted more potential hires, I would have been more likely to find somebody. Also, I usually schedule ahead of time, because it helps with the logistics. Hiring for the same night puts more pressure on the escort. (I don't think this is what you meant to convey, but I'm afraid that's how I took it 🙂)

I guess I'd ask both providers and clients here if they've noticed this, but I've been getting some _really_ rude responses to my attempts to hire escorts I haven't met before (not to mention prices in excess of 400/500 an hours). Here's some incidents I had contacting several Chicagoland escorts yesterday (I texted them in the early evening, asked if they were available later that night, was completely open about my preferences (no anal), and offered to pay for Uber both ways on an outcall: - I texted 4 people, 3 of which quoted me at least 400 an hour + Uber (I asked for a 2 hour session, but they didn't adjust their rates accordingly). - One kid with only 2 RM reviews wanted 900 for 2 hours. He was located right next to me, and I would pay for the Uber. When I declined, he responded with a _completely unsolicited_ counteroffer that was still obscene. His text was worded like: "Oh man, I'll do it for X dollars; I DARE you!" Did he think I'd hire him when he spoke to me like that, even if it was a reasonable offer? - Then there's the openly blatant con artists. One guy, I was purely willing to hire, but I thought it reasonable to ask him why 3 of his 15 RM reviews were bad. He told me he was insulted by the question. Luckily, he was honest enough to cancel the session before I would have. Right now, I'm only hiring one of my 3 regulars, because when I reach out to "new blood," I get treated ilke this. I'd rather jack off than deal with such rude people. Is this the new post-pandemic attitude? Obscene rates combined with rudeness? I've been hiring for 8 years, have always been nice to my hires, and have always contacted providers in good faith.

Give me 10 more minutes...

Viagra works extremely well for me, in that it makes and keeps me hard for a while. However, it doesn't really simulate my libido, or mental horniness. Is there anything for that, or is testosterone treatment the only option?

Don't forget the social safety net, and universal healthcare that includes therapy. In the U.S., if you need help but don't have money or the right insurance, you're SOL.

For the broad picture: gay men in general have higher rates of addiction, psychological problems, and suicide.
