That’s a very good observation @maninsoma. I’ve yet to hear of a guy advertising using ‘borrowed’ pics that show a chubby body or a homely face.

I’d be happy to share him @classic....but I never want ‘sloppy seconds’.

IIRC she only appears in the second part of the play. Her part is not large but, of course, her presence on the stage lends a certain iconic quality to the production.

Essentially, Yes. Young men may be naive or a little unsure about how it will work but IME they have a keen appreciation of the mutual benefits of dating an older man. IMHO it’s incumbent on the older main to be clear and specific about what he is ‘seeking’ and offering in return. And as others have said, it’s best to use another medium such as WhatsApp or an actual meeting over a drink to discuss how the arrangement will work.

I think that @Methodic98 had some good and helpful replies earlier. I understand that profiles with pics always get more interest, but I feel using false pics is simple deception. I can accept that a person may want to protect his privacy, so the answer is not to show his face or any distinctive mark etc. My only experience of this was several years ago when I made an online date with a 21year old. I suspected the pics were not of him as they showed a guy in superb physical condition. But I was interested so I asked if the pics were of him; he said No but that he closely resembled them. He was right...if he were to work out in a gym for a few years, convert some weight from fat to muscle and gain a couple of inches in height.

I suspect it’s true of many fitness model/trainer/actor wannabe-s. They often lack the drive and determination to achieve their goals. Their desire for fame and their taste for expensive living combine to make them seek what they feel will be “fast, easy money”.

He is indeed lovely. Just my type.

I can’t help with info @Andy2 but I congratulate you on your good taste. Shawn looks especially attractive to me but I guess you will have to ask him directly whether he will meet your specific needs. Please report back if you do have a date.

He would make a fine ‘filling’ for this trio, and I’d happily fuck him. No @Trebor....well, only after I’ve had his legs resting on my shoulders while I fuck him well

You’re so thoughtful @joethomas. The young man does need help. As young men can be disorganised, I’ll volunteer to choose his jockstraps and underwear for him.

Going back to the OP’s questions....Years ago, I used to film or take pics of my encounters/dates, purely for my private use. I always asked first and most said Yes, some said No. I was simply direct and used to lead in with taking some pics. I’d say something like you’re so hot/so attractive/have such a great upper body: may I take some photos? If the guy was relaxed about it, I’d ask if I could film us in bed together. Some guys really got into being filmed and asked me for a copy. FWIW I think this was more common some years back. I feel a lot of young men in their 20s are more aware of images/film being misused or ending up in others’ hands. It’s very much an individual decision so you just have to ask the guy.

I think the logo is ‘Newcastle United’ and there are certainly very similar trains in the London area.

Yes. It’s actually rather simple: I used to send a polite and friendly message, prefaced with some compliment on his photo or profile. The summary was I enjoy a fit young man’s company and I’m a fit older top - so I’m happy to pay for dinner and I like to take good care of my “boy” - if he’s interested in meeting me. If he responded well, I followed up quickly and always got him to say what he was looking for. If he said Yes straightaway, I switched to phone texts or WhatsApp to arrange the date. I was careful not to send explicit messages on the app. Some guys ignored my messages; some said No; and some said I’m interested, tell me more. I had a good success-ratio.

Attractive boy @marylander1940. But how do we know that he merits inclusion in this thread? His lips look fine but I feel we should have actual reports or photographic evidence that he sucks so well ;-)

Very nice, young Englishman; quite gay-friendly

Well, the Australian real estate market has slowed down markedly. Perhaps you can get Cameron to consider extending his range of activities.

@sync, I entirely agree with your comment.

I agree that the way this story was originally presented was almost designed to trigger our sympathy. The truth is clearly much more nuanced. Much of life in general requires hard choices and hard work, unfortunately. I am amazed at the self-absorption that says Others will Surely Pay for Me. I thought I’d seen the worst or best example of this when a young wannabe model/actor with a lean, defined physique in LA that I met once informed me of his GoFundMe. He was seeking $50k for “support for a year including eating properly, paying all the bills etc” since he couldn’t work, as it was “so time-consuming” to “be in shape and be well-turned out” for castings etc.

Oh please @marylander1940 ! Why show such a coy pic? Igor is one of those self-proclaimed ‘str8’ boys who has more nude than clothed images on the net

Apologies if I’m being pedantic @friendofsheila but I think your post was abbreviated. Shouldn’t it read: “nipple, pecs, abs and bicep”? Luckily, Dustin was a quick learner and soon went on to reveal and do a great deal more...

The blond (on the right of the pic, in gray sweats) is quite do-able

Very “pretty in pink”

Your desires @opentoideas seem quite reasonable to me. No-one of course can speak for “most escorts” but I suggest you discuss this with the guys who most interest you. It may be easier to raise this with guys with whom you’ve already had one date, as they will have some sense of you and what you like to do. My experience in the past as a client is that the escort’s reaction may well be unpredictable. FWIW I once suggested to 2 separate guys with whom I’d played before (me top, him bottom) that I’d enjoy next time just having sex as soon as they arrived (no drinks, no chit-chat, no preamble - just passionate, torrid sex where I was dominant and not concerned with their enjoyment). One, a muscled New Zealander, said So you’d be a selfish top and just use me how you like? I said Yes. He told me his cock was getting hard at the prospect. When the date occurred, as he came through my front door, he dropped to his knees and started sucking my cock... The second guy, an beautiful Italian muscle-bottom, was horrified at my suggestion and said he couldn’t do that! He told me he liked all the kissing and affection I showed to him and the good foreplay we had prior to my giving him a good fuck. Later, talking post-coitus, I suggested that maybe next time I could tie him up - he confided that he “loved being tied up” and being helpless as his body was worshipped and put to good hard use. And on the next date, I did precisely that and tho he normally found it difficult to climax, tied up and “used hard” he came loads.

Wasn’t he a pocket-sized versatile top at Sean Cody (maybe named Danny IIRC) who became an MMA fighter?

I think @TruthBTold that you missed the last sentence of my post where I alluded to exactly that! In today’s media, I feel that a physical book and/or spectacles (with or without prescription lenses) on the model is intended to convey the notion of an intellectual.
