The world needs more “annoying” optimists, big guy! 💪🏻😘

For my money, this pair-up of Big Joey and Gauge is the hottest muscle worship video ever made: https://thegay.com/videos/718233/massive-muscle-body-worship-gauge-joey-jordan2/

I’ve seen him a couple of times — a very sweet guy, and ginormous, but for what he charges, I expect a little more engagement. I totally respect that he feels exhausted and crappy while prepping for competition, but like others, I’ve found his energy level a bit disappointing.

Ho. Lee. FUCK!!!!

Oh, dear — I suppose it IS the most likely explanation for the unnatural persistence and continued improvement of his beauty and physique (LOL). Vin’s “Dorian Gray” painting would be horrifying!

Fuuuuuuck. He just rocketed to the top of my To Do list!

No hiding those boulder-shoulders, big guy!

Incredible, babe! By the way, I’m sure I speak for everyone here when I say that although your bathroom selfies are hot AF, is there ANY chance of some proper photo documentation of the New and Improved Vin once you’ve touched down? Honestly, it should be recorded for posterity!

Dear man: we are all very, VERY lucky that you have chosen to monetize your physique in this way!

Only YOU could turn a set of leg extensions into hardcore porn! 💪🏻😍

YOWZA!!! Coming in hot, babe!!! 💪🏻😍

😘

“Damn! You fine!“ what Mr.E said!!!

WOOOOOOF!

Coffee. Breakfast (2 tbsp natural peanut butter on low carb pita). Process plans for the day with husband. Check email. Solve NYT crossword. Catch up on whatever fresh hell is brewing in DC or elsewhere. Feed cat. Shower, brush teeth, etc. Make bed. Head to gym (trainer MWF, solo cardio at Planet Fitness T&R, sometimes S).

You do realize that he’s built like your avatar, don’t you? Also, maybe take the body-shaming rhetoric down a notch?

Those current IG pictures are the ones we’re referencing. To those of us into serious muscle, your “old slab of beef” is actually a twunk.

Ironically, though impressively buff, he’s actually not that huge currently, and might even be natty.

“Unfortunately”??? Au contraire, in his current giant shredded monster bodybuilder state he just rocketed to the top of my TO DO list.

You make a great point about the separate-but-equal aspects of these friendships! It’s hard to talk about — the “service” and the friendship aren’t two opposing factors, but we’ve all been taught to think about them that way. It’s a shame — we need a new vocabulary!

I don’t know if it’s an option for you, but I’ve had more luck developing clos(er) contact with providers I’ve met outside of RM, through this forum, and by word of mouth. Many of the guys on RM are in the biz short-term, out to make a quick buck; or if that wasn’t their intention at first, they tend to burn out and fall by the wayside soon enough. But there is a small-ish community of providers who actively seek clients for clos(er) longterm hiring arrangements, and who value and cultivate friendships among their regulars. Most of them are not on RM, and either do not advertise at all any longer, or don’t depend on it for new clients. Vin Marco is one such provider, Apollo Phoenix is another, Tristan Baldwin is yet another — none of them based in your part of the country, unfortunately, and Apollo does not travel. But I’m sure there are others. One word of advice, though: a friendship with one of these guys is like any other friendship, based on common interests, and mutual trust and respect. But you should never lose sight of the fact that there is a transactional aspect to this relationship, no matter how close it grows, and you ignore it at your peril. The mutual liking may be genuine, but don’t assume that you are the guy’s best friend, or his only friend; and for your own sake, try not to invest your emotions too heavily. My friendships with providers are like my friendship with my trainer — I love the guy, we socialize, we share lots of stuff having nothing to do with the gym; but if I stopped seeing him professionally I wouldn’t expect necessarily that the friendship would carry on at quite the same level.

I’m a 60-something client, and my favorite providers (Vin sits at the top of that list!) are all over 40, and their vitality, and drive, and intensity, and relentless pursuit of physical excellence, sometimes in the face of serious obstacles, inspire me on a DAILY basis. These boys are an ageless breed apart, and long, long, long, may they plow the rest of us to ecstasy and exhaustion!

Seems his ad is gone.

Same! It’s a little embarrassing sometimes, but also adorable.

I had a pleasant back-and-forth with him, and I am DEFINITELY still intrigued. But he can’t host, and neither can I, so that’s that, for the time being.
