Gold is the easiest investment. Gold increases in value when 1. All other investments decrease in value. 2. There is nothing else to invest in besides gold.

Whenever the stock market crashes gold goes up in value. Look at visuals on Google finance. I can always feel gold as a worthy investment by inhibition and news.

Are you thinking physical gold (like coins) or GLD?

At every U.S. bar, I always tip both bartenders and dancers with $2 Bills.  Often, I'll tip dancers with several $2 Bills at once (a few in the front of the underwear and a few in the back)

Serious question: where do you find $2 bills? My bank never has any and they are not an option at the ATM? I thought they had pretty much disappeared…

But did we ever print so much money so quickly?  Every stimulus was hundreds and hundreds of $billions printed overnight, and the cumulative series printed $trillions out of thin air in just a couple of years.

To me, money-printing in the past was a steady leak whereas the stimulus printing was more like a dam burst.

I’ll add some perspective. Yes, we added more debt over the past four years, during and post Covid than we did in the previous 10 years (roughly). But why?  Its not just the spending, keep in mind we have an interest problem. Interest rates on debt were in a downward cycle until 2020 and have been rising since. so we are now paying quite a bit more in interest than we did before which means we need to borrow more to cover the interest too. So it is compounding the problem…literally. It is very concerning and will come back to haunt us… 😐

Blaming inflation all on Covid is a lie of omission.  We also printed $trillions out of thin air, which for obvious reasons causes inflation.  Just look at the inflation rate of Switzerland, which maintained fiscal discipline.

That is fair - we did lose fiscal discipline; but that has been the case for many years (starting in 2001, to be honest.) So what changed in the past 3 to 4 years to spark inflation? The short answer is Covid and various conflicts. 

Thank you for reminding me why I hate people and love my dog! 😆

I say dump the dead weight and go do your own thing! 😉

Yes strange to me why out call is cheaper? 

Not that strange in NYC. When you live with room mates in a small space, it is less hassle to meet at the client’s place.

I don't want to sound unfair or damning by categorization, but a recent experience leads me to revisit the subject of my sexual compatibility with guys who call themselves straight vs. bi vs. gay. First of all, my own encounters have forced me to conclude that straight men cannot pull off a convincing scene with gay men--it's a wasted effort when they try to emulate a level of intimacy greater than posing, looking pretty, or getting their cocks sucked. A real difficulty arises in judging bisexuals... Unless one has done the deed with a bi individual, one can't predict how rewarding a fuck will be.

The data I've accumulated suggests a flake rate of roughly 50%. Sure, there are gay providers who are flaky (unreliable, not in the moment), but I get the sense from them that they are having a bad day, or they are fried from drugs. Half the bi guys I've met exhibit deep-seated, perpetual wishy-washiness: they want your money, but can't bring themselves to put in the grunt work to earn it. Latest example: a simple request for phone sex. The provider set up a time, then canceled. Renegotiated, then postponed over and over. Came up with excuses involving his dog or muddling his massage appointments. I had to give up on him. There are hints in his RM profile and related media that he is more of a ladies' man, anyway. 

Therefore, in the future I will be scrutinizing and (if I can) screening any prospective escort, for either a physical or virtual engagement, who lists that nebulous middle ground as his orientation.

My sincere apologies to any dualists reading this who take pride in satisfying their own sex.

I suspect your sample size it too small.

Hi everyone,

This question is more for providers (but fellow clients chip in too as all perspectives are awesome!)

I have booked an outcall appointment with my favorite masseur. I have met with him several times at his apartment and each time has been better than the previous one. We get on really, really well. This will be the first time he will be coming over to my apartment and I wanted to see if there is anything I can do to make it comfortable for him (besides ensuring the apartment is spotless which it will be!). I don't have direct communication with this masseur as I book him through an agency so I can't ask him. At the moment I have thought of:

• Beverages (bottled water, soft drinks, all kept chilled)
• Freshly washed towels and face clothes
• Even more fresh towels
• Fresh bedding
• Snacks (was going to have some fresh fruit and homemade bread and butter on hand)
• Travel size toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash
• Ensuring the house is well scented (which it usually is anyway)
• Condoms (as we have had sex before) Would providing my own be an issue?
• A small gift 
• Asking him to bring his dog over. This is a weird one, but I really love his dog and I look forward to seeing him when I go over. 

Any insight would be much appreciated - thanks in advance!

You are going a little overboard, arent you? I mean, homemade bread? Is he kneading you or the dough? 😋 Is he staying over?  Maybe just ask him his beverage of choice and dont try too hard to impress. Condoms, lube and a smile is all you really need! 😉

They’re referring to -/ it’s harder to stay hard (they claim) when wearing a condom 

 

That is right up there with blaming mercury being in retrograde.  

I would suggest a travel insurance policy - it is about as temporary as you can gey.   It will take care of large, unexpected medical expenses during his visit but will likely not cover existing conditions.
 

You can also consider World Nomad which is usually more comprehensive and intended for digital nomads that work in various spots - they have a USA coverage option.

Getting a traditional policy (Aetna or UHC) is difficult since it is really a full year commitment.

The "power bottom" claimed to be a "sub bottom" but he sent a pic "how he likes it". As a "dominant passive top", in my opinion, the position is my choice, I like to command if the bottom has to go slower or faster, I don't want the bottom to touch himself, I don't care if the bottom enjoys it or not & so on. According to this article:

https://www.andrewchristian.com/blogs/acblog/5-things-a-top-should-never-say-to-a-bottom

there's things a top should never say to a bottom but as a "dominant passive top" I will ask this questions.

 

You do you…but that doesnt sound like fun to me. My favorite position is any position that allows us to cum together.

No scam. The pictures are of him. He dances at clubs/bars around town.

He is a sweet guy. Almost no English, however.

He had a massage table in his HK place, but he doesn’t appear to have any training or much interest in giving a massage, so I volunteered to massage him, which he was open to and seemed comfortable with. It was fun.

So how much did you charge him? Did he tip well?? 😜 😆

It is astonishing how people believe the propaganda that inflation is the result of the greedy farmers and the greedy businessmen and supply side disruptions and whatever crap is told them.  Inflation is caused by excess money printing to finance large government deficits and it continues unabated to this day.  

Propaganda you say. Wall Steet analysts are saying it. The Federal Reserve is saying it. Large retailers are saying it. Fortune, Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal are saying it. Of course nobody is saying that ALL of inflation is caused by price increases - but there is no doubt greedflation is a thing and a large contributor.

I am a young Asian student studying in San Francisco. I am gay. 

 

I always have been interested in becoming a provider to older guys. Yes I like older guys. There's something I like about them for me. I like to taste the water to see what it is like. I am interested in escorting, boyfriend experience, becoming foodie friends and so on. 

 

However,  i didn't gather courage to provide my identification and my face pic & number on rent men. I prefer to be careful for my future career and opportunities. 

What should I do? 

Comments and pm both welcome!

 

FYI, I am 5'6 140 24, fit, tattoo free,  disease and drug free, polite , understanding and caring.

 

 

 

 

Hello @gooduslife and welcome to the discussion forum. 

It is wise of you to see out advice - I am sure you will get valuable responses.  As for myself, an older gay, I would be remiss if I did not advice you to take care of your health first.  Before you get more sexually active, please ensure that you get all the recommended vaccinations (HPV, Hepatitis, Meningococcal - you can look it up on the internet as there is specific guidance for men who have sex with men) from you student medical center or a city health clinic.  You may also want to get on PreP if you are not already. 

My second piece of advice is that you join a local gay community group - some of the most valuable friendships I have is from meeting older gay men at my local community center; they have been a great resource for me in life with guidance and support when I needed it.  They understand life as a young gay man and have always been willing to help when I needed a sympathetic ear or was struggling.  And all it cost me was a cup of coffee and to stay in touch.  

From the information you provided, I conclude that you are studying in San Francisco on a student visa.  If that is the case and you are not a US citizen, you should be aware that as a guest in the USA you are particularly vulnerable to law enforcement scrutiny. San Fran is a fairly liberal city where escorting isn't a priority for law enforcement, but if you should travel (with a man or without) and questions are raised about you escorting, it could impact your visa and ability to finish your studies.  So you have to do what you can to maintain a lower profile.  Not posting your face on rentmen is smart - get the "burner" app for your phone and use that "burner" number exclusively for your side business. 

Most men will only agree to meet if they see your face, so consider how much you will be willing to share even if it is via text/whatsapp.  Consider the type of client you want (a few local men that you see repeatedly vs traveling men who may be able to host at their hotel and pay more, but you are always seeing someone new and not building up a client base). If you do decide to create a rentmen profile - my advice is to be honest in your profile - use pics that are of you, even if it does not show your face, make sure they know what you are willing to do and not do and then communicate clearly and quickly. If you are meeting a man you have never met before, my advice is to meet in a public place first (hotel lobby, coffee shop) so you can look him in the eye before you get intimate.  Video calls also work - get a sense for the guy and protect yourself against time wasters and scammers. 

Good luck and reach out to me if you have any questions.

 Re condoms vs bareback upsell -  it’s been discussed  here before but my experience has been providers generally prefer bare and condoms require more effort for them Hence upsell.

I dont understand - how does a condom require more effort? 
I thought bare required more effort (aka clean up after). 🤔

Wait…I am lost. Who is Kevin?🤔

Since you want to hire men, I am confused why you titled the thread Best African County for Boys.

Right! Exactly! From now on we decree that cowboys will be known as cowmen, the Baker Boys will be known as the Baker Men and the Amazon show “The Boys” will be known as “The Men”. So say we all! 😋

Sure fire way to get scammed. I wouldn't follow this advice guys.

I know this is off topic, but adding my voice to this: in my experience if you pay a deposit chances are 9:1 that you will get scammed - even if you think it is the best Brazilian escort and your little head is doing the thinking. 
 

Back in topic, isnt Kiddo from Brazil?

I hesitate to post this in case the subject recognizes me and takes umbrage, but to him I reiterate I do not hold him responsible, and in fact, I still trust him.

A while back I engaged a provider several times. We seemed to get along well, and when he revealed he was in financial difficulty, I offered to bail him out of debt. I drew up some papers to formalize the transaction, and went to the bank with him to oversee a transfer of funds. I will not cite the exact amount, but it was a considerable sum. There is no hard due date on repayment.

He left town the week after, and I asked him to stay in touch. This is the disturbing part: whether he is embarrassed to acknowledge his reliance on my generosity, or if he is simply scamming me (though I know his debt was real and he needed help), he has refused to reply to any message I send him. I don't want to exert pressure on him, but I do have an ongoing interest in his well-being, and wish to support him emotionally if he would allow it.

I now attempt to write him twice a year. Each time I reaffirm that I am not looking for reimbursement. I hope some day he takes my earnestness to heart and writes back even it's to say "I'm doing okay."

I am sorry this happened to you. Not to be harsh, but it would not surprise me if you arent the only one. Have see this happen many times - some men are more subtle than others, but it all leads to the same place. In my case he told me he was having financial difficulty and would have to move back west to stay with his parents and how much will we miss our time together? I didnt bite. By a miracle he is still in town and still available - I see him often. Less subtle are some of the moneyboys I met in Thailand, they still text me asking for money a year later and promise to pay back every baht. 

We should discuss the definition of urgent. A traveling straight boy thats been on rentmen for less than a week? Darling, that isnt urgent - that is barely a low priority and the very definition of “don’t do it”. 😁

You failed to acknowledge that the provider has a large photo in his ad showing bare back anal sex. 

That makes his ad misleading when his ad says "safe only". 

It is not logical for an ad to say "safe only"  and then, in the same ad, to show active anal sex without a condom. 

Note:  If you do not pay rentmen for a premium account, you will not see the large photos showing bareback sex. 

 

Haha! You are too funny! Seeking truth in advertising on Rentmen!! 😆😆
