  1. For those who met him, is that his apartment in the photos, with the bookshelf behind the bed? Because it also appears in the ad for AlejandroMc: AlejandroMc - Pornstar Performer, Rentboy, Gay Massage in New York City, NY | RentMen RENTMEN.EU Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in New York City, NY - AlejandroMc: MASCULINE / DISCREET Are they a couple?
  2. Maybe it was to protect the other guy.
  3. If they fly non-stop to Las Vegas, where prostitution is legal, and then make the argument that they're not taking business away from locals, with testimonials from clients who prefer escorts with foreign accents... they should be allowed in!
  4. What was the story with David Forrest, in the end. Did he set up actual meetings or was it a scam?
  5. Maybe it means "prepaid." (Ad says "2 for 1" which should be the opposite of pricing "per person," but maybe I'm taking things too literally.)
  6. I think the OP issue is about something specific to the Hollywood Hills and other residential areas with sporadic cellphone coverage. The drivers are entirely dependent on the navigation to find their way out of the winding streets, afraid of getting lost or unable to contact you before they pick you up if they lose service, or after dropping you off, and unable to get their next ride after dropping you off... which also would explain why the map shows them not moving (they are moving, but the app isn't updating their position). There was a different problem for awhile in 2021, which was a huge shortage of drivers, long wait times and fewer cars available, so some drivers were dropping requests because of the distance to pickup if a much closer request came in on the other service, but that has largely been resolved now that there are plenty of drivers out there.
  7. I also think our idea about what's handsome changes, influenced by popular media and advertising. We find more beauty because the influence of these is wider and stronger (more present, more engaging) now, so more people aspire to those ideals.
  8. On the diet side: Weight loss is simple math. Drop 500 calories a day, you'll lose 1 lb a week. You don't have to change what you eat, just how much. You can eat the same number of meals a day, just smaller portions. OR you can stop drinking and stop snacking. That would probably get most people there. Finally, eat slower. It takes time for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so if you eat fast you don't get the message in time.
  9. Are people seriously looking on Grindr for other guys who are in the same gym at the same time? I'm a tech-forward guy who believes iPhones have made our world a better place, but this makes me sad. I have a private trainer who comes to my house. I've been thinking about going back to the gym, but this thread has set back those plans.
  10. The problem with this question is the absolute nature of the question. Aside from some very good points made already (for example, it might not just be that you die earlier, but that you suffer for years before dying if the prostate cancer spreads), there are different treatments and many different outcomes and don't all necessarily involve giving up orgasms or a reduced sex life or satisfaction. Studies show that radiation treatment, for example, results in fewer short term side effects (urinary incontinence, erectile disfunction) but increasing ones over time (as the scar tissue heals). Surgery (removal of the prostate) has a longer recovery, but with gains over time, often maxing out over the next six months to a year. My own experience with surgery: 1. the worst side effects are immediate and then show rapid improvement (didn't love the catheter in for 2 weeks, although grateful it was inserted while I was still in surgery) and only used small, unobtrusive pee pads for another month. 2. The improvement starts fast and then slows down, which made me think I wouldn't fully recover, but somewhere between 6 months and 8 months out, I'm fully functioning (no urinary issues, full erections and satisfying climaxes... with the follow caveats). There are mental adjustments to be made. Sex won't be the same, but that doesn't mean it's not as good. It's taking time to get my head around the lack of ejaculation. Cumming was always a sign of virility, a turn-on, and I was an impressive shooter (over my head... onto the pillow... with multiple ejaculations that strong. Now I have the same climax feeling, but nothing comes out. It's strange, anti-climactic, so to speak. Maybe some people would find this is a benefit (no clean-up; no question about spit or swallow). For me, it's a big mental adjustment. It takes a little longer and more stimulation (physical and mental) to get fully hard. On the other hand, after I climax, my erection stays longer and I'm ready to go again much sooner. I don't feel drained, literally or figuratively. So, I feel hornier and harder right after. Huge plus. For me, it wasn't a choice of longer life or better sex... I likely ended up with both, although both are a little different than they were. Certainly my gratitude for being cancer-free and not thinking about something that might be growing and spreading in my body is powerfully positive. Sexual confidence is still gaining, but shows every sign of being what it was before. Having said all that, I'm 65, in excellent health otherwise, low BMI (6'0 165), fit and generally happy. And I live in a city with excellent hospitals, so the surgery was probably done by one of the best. None of this is meant to replace medical advice or serious research. I just wanted to offer that, in my experience, the question isn't necessarily an either/or proposition.
  11. There should be a more direct link between debt and the asset it's financing. For example, you wouldn't take a 10-year car loan for a car that has a 5-year value life. Stocks and the real estate rental market aren't necessarily in sync. Both can have significant rises and falls, and the causes of those aren't linked (e.g. over building in an area can cause demand to drop, with no connection to how the stock market is doing. So the question is: how long will it take for rental profits to repay the margin loan, how long is the margin loan (many have a specific term, and renewal could be eat a very different interest rate), and how will that timeline change if the rental market changes? So, basically, there's more risk than just a margin call. You could be looking at a prolonged period of zero or negative profit (losses) with a decreasing ability to repay the loan.

    I think anything that makes you feel better about yourself will help a lot. I believe a lot of our (esp. gay) sexuality has to do with how we feel about our own bodies. Sure, exercise, fitness, wellness, etc. but there are also so many small ways to see yourself as more physically attractive - clothes, haircut, posture - and more attractive in other ways that really count despite our culture of adonis-obsession - positivity, showing an interest in others and their stories, eye contact, smiling and laughing. I'm not sure that paying for sex will help. It might give you practice and teach you techniques, but it could also backfire and make you question whether the person you're paying is attracted to you. I know that's a controversial statement in this forum, but you're in a vulnerable phase of discovery. And a potentially exciting one!

    What does the tattoo say?
  14. I like seeing the masks... they pretty much guarantee the photo was taken within the last two years!
