Bruce might have sensed an attitude from you & simply gave you a proposal that he figured (hoped) you would decline & simply go away.....from personal experience & that of others - Bruce's policy is not full payment on arrival.....additionally / however - if you're trying to arrange a full weekend with him without ever having met before, that might change how he would approach / accept the biz....esp if it involves a long distance travel commitment on his part....he's established....why should he blindly trust you ?....did you offer to supply your own (escort) references to vouch for your own character ?

I remember (and hope I remember it right) that there are some discussions about the desposits here on the forum and the general idea would be against it. I’ve been asked to pay deposits or paid in full for a couple of times. I’ve even had a guy who said he likes me a lot and he’s willing to give me a discount by me paying him a “monthly fee” so I could see him for the following month whenever I want. Sometimes I’d say yes to these inquiries and those engagements usually end up pretty memorable to me. What I’m trying to say here is, from the conversations I’ve had with the guys I hire I can usually have some ideas about whether I should trust this guy or not, and that lead to my decision regarding if I’m gonna to pay the deposits he asks for. For guys like Bruce Beckham who have been around for a while, they usually know the risks of asking for the deposits and they might be able to provide top-notch experiences because of the perception of those risks.

Do you reveal your race to your masseurs or escorts when booking?
 
I'm Asian American and admittedly a little neurotic about how my race is perceived in the gay community after years of experiencing tons of negativity.
 
I'm in my 30s and in decent shape, which I don't disclose because I feel that's "acceptable." But I always disclose my background, usually in the form of "I'm Asian, is that okay?" For the record, no one has ever said no, but in hook-up situations (which I know these aren't), I always reveal it right off the bat. I also don't respond to say, a Craigslist ad or Grindr post unless they specifically say "seeking Asians" (I don't even reply to ads that say "open to race").
 
I've just read/experienced instances where guys thought an Asian guy was Caucasian and felt "tricked." I have an equally neurotic fear of rejection (especially based on race) which is why I always disclose.
 
I disclosed to the last masseur while booking, and he asked why I did it and thought it was "weird." But then again I just read a thread here about a local masseur who reportedly doesn't serve Asians. It would be my biggest nightmare if I booked him and he rejected me after opening the door.
 
Maybe I'm just being crazy, but does anyone else do this?

Of all the mistakes people make when speaking, either grammatical or misquoting expressions, the one that most drives me up the wall is when somebody says, "I could care less..." about something.
 
THAT MAKES NO SENSE! If you could care less about something, that means you DO care about it, at least a little bit, and it is possible that something could make you care even less than you currently do.
 
HOWEVER, when you use the correct expression, "I COULDN'T CARE LESS..." it means that nothing in the world could cause you to care any less, because you already care as little as is humanly possible for you to care.
 
GOD, I NEEDED TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST!!!

 

 

I hate you, I just spent half an hour watching his vids.

Never met. Apparently cancelled his plans for Miami.

Just heard from him. We spoke which always gives me a better feel. Seems legit. Told me he's actually changing his plans to next week and can host. Fwiw, he doesn't bottom which is fine with me since anal ain't typically part of my repertoire. Very masculine, actually admitted he's mostly straight but good with kissing... I intend to see him so I'll let you know how it goes. Very friendly was my initial perception.
