LOL Apologies if, in any way, I implied I was organizing a Bay Area meetup. Im open to meeting guys from here... have already.

If you check the website, the schedule shows the house dancers and the headliners they bring in. If history from many years is any indicator... there may be a few more house dancers whose pictures names and pics arent on the schedule. Also, they cycled through periods of paying dancers, and telling dancers "work for tips-only" I think they always paid the headliners... but when I was an attendee, the headliners worked a full week, and also got lodging.

Agreed. My frustrating effort.... arrange a bunch of guys to meet and go on same bay cruise, which required reservations, advance ticket purchase, etc. Never again!

There have been a few other posts about forum members meeting socially. One of the factors is that theres potential for major hassle and frustration for the organizer. Not for this forum, but I once organized a meetup for an online group of SF guys. It was crazy-making. If I ever tried again, I'd only do something very casual and unstructured, such as "we'll be at this location, this day and time, be there if you can." And not interpret participation as success.

My first ignore since joining the forums

Every situation is different. Anything can happen. The takeaway for me... when things begin with dishonesty, favorable experiences are less likely.

http://m.pnas.org/content/early/2017/07/18/1706541114.full A recent study suggests that happiness can be derived from free time to do what you like. And you can secure that by spending money getting others to do time-consuming chores. In other words, we're more likely to derive happiness by hiring a housekeeper than buying a _____________________. Summary: Despite rising incomes, people around the world are feeling increasingly pressed for time, undermining well-being. We show that the time famine of modern life can be reduced by using money to buy time. Surveys of large, diverse samples from four countries reveal that spending money on time-saving services is linked to greater life satisfaction. To establish causality, we show that working adults report greater happiness after spending money on a time-saving purchase than on a material purchase. This research reveals a previously unexamined route from wealth to well-being: spending money to buy free time.

Im curious about some. Dont necessarily recall their names. For example, I hired a hot young guy from craigslist in the 90s. He was also starting a career in the service trades. Saw him at least half-dozen times. He'd probably be a hell of a hot guy in his 40s now. Dont remember his name, probably never knew his real name. I hope, as this thread builds, people respect the privacy of ex-escorts who've moved to other lifestyles. Ive stumbled across info regarding a few of my favorites from the past. I wouldnt share that.

Thats why, after starting out stupidly, I sent the recent fake away. With encouragement to investigate these forums and daddys reviews.

I recently permitted things to go too far with a rentguy using a fake pic. I regret not sending him away upon first sight. As it was, 5 minutes after starting, there were ample red flags, and I sent him away, after retrieving 75% of the fee he'd demanded upfront. His attitude suggested absolutely no regret or excuses about using a fake pic. He felt justified on the basis of discretion. In hindsight, that attitude sticks in my craw. I wont let it happen again.

I think that also explains why many a post on these forums appears to be an unfinished thought.....

I met a really nice, very friendly escort years ago.... friendly enough that we hung out off the clock during his visit to SF; he found himself with a lot of free time due to cancellations, flakes, etc. His escort's viewpoint: San Francisco is so gay-accepting, and the Bay Area is soooo tolerant, people have become very self indulgent in getting exactly what they want. "This may be the only place on earth," he opined "where a guy may ask an escort ten to fifteen screening questions, and then say 'oh, your right nipple is pierced. I'm looking for a guy whose left nipple is pierced,'" and decline to set an appointment. Exaggerated and dramatic, to be sure, but I believe its a fair representation of SF Bay attitudes.

Seen today in a suburban parking lot. Nice new Tesla. I'm guessing their intent was a license plate conveying Giacomo. JAK A MOE caused me to burst out laughing..... Then again, one never knows.......

Nah... I think that ones a mute point

I just want to share my incredible good fortune on Adam4Adam I've been communicating with the hottest guy. He sends me frequent messages.... He's so hot, the man of my dreams, one day he's a muscle stud, the next day he's a humungously hung hunk. He changes his appearance frequently so that I may indulge all of my desires. Sometimes we play a little online teasing game, and he uses a different name. But always, within few hours, he reveals his real name: Suspended User. What a guy! Thanks A4A!

Rejection is a subjective term. Should an escort want to know why potential clients view his ad but decline to contact? Good to know if he's hurting for business, but if he's content with current demand, why would he care? Should an escort want to know, after some initial communications, why a potential client chose not to follow through and schedule? I'd expect he'd want to know THAT it wasn't going to happen, simply to manage his schedule and not waste time. But knowing WHY it isn't happening... this is an industry that attracts a disproportionate share of flakes, insecurities, fetishists, and game-players.... why would an escort care WHY someone chose to decline their services. Possible exception... hes getting wayyy too many rejections after spending time planning and communicating with potential clients, and wants to determine if a change in methods could help.

Forum members should be grateful they are not in the car with me when these play

That was one of my favorite Chicago restaurants because every post can benefit from absurd irrelevance...

...just viewed as a profile photo for a Grindr user I JUST FOUND OUT COCK FIGHTING IS DONE WITH CHICKENS THAT'S 12 MONTHS OF TRAINING COMPLETELY WASTED!

I wonder if thats current? Im not aware of any ex-SC guy advertising in SF. Search shows Teddy was discussed here a few years ago... but Ive never seen an ad

Sometimes ya cant win The smartass will reply "Who's Frank?" or "Frank? I thought you were _______________________"

"To be honest with you....." "Honestly" Intended for emphasis. Or to convey that someone's going to be frank, speak candidly..... I worked with a woman who, when people prefaced a comment with "Well, to be honest with you....." She'd interject, "aren't you always?" So, while I rarely do it... when someone prefaces a comment or opinion with, "well, to tell you the truth....." I'm often tempted to ask "don't you always?" or "when aren't you telling me the truth?"

Not so easy to find on west coast. Lotsa delicious soft round rolls with holes. Sun dried tomato, or blueberry, or banana nut. Those may all be tasty for some. But they ain't bagels in my book.
