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

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. https://fortune.com/2024/01/20/inflation-greedflation-consumer-price-index-producer-price-index-corporate-profit/

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.

That is a dick move. If he has a thread here on the forum, please add the comment to his thread to make others aware.

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?🤔

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! 😋

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? https://rentmen.eu/Kiddo

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”. 😁

I know you know this, but the search box is your friend. https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/151005-411-on-augustaf-in-nyc/ Much discussed - has been around for a while and forever in his 20s with same pics used for years.

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

His ad says safe only. How about we respect his choice? You, in turn, have the choice not to hire him. We’ll respect your choice too.

I dont get your point. Neither the year, nor the availability of Prep is an end all solution. Prep protects against HIV but not other STDs. And even in 2024 not everyone can tolerate Prep - some experience severe adverse reactions and stop taking it.

He is back in NYC. Couldnt find the previous thread on Tony…

This seems like the kind of question you want to ask of a medical professional. Most health insurance plans offer a phone line you can call with this type of question - you dont have to go see a doctor. On internet forums you will find lots of opinions, but they are worth what you paid for them.

http://www.4Solvents.com stocks many brands. Everything from Rush and Jungle Juice to Amsterdam. I have ordered from them also, without issues

I always wonder about those “Fraternity X” porn vids…

There does seem to be a statistically demonstrated correlation. To answer the OPs question: No, it does not matter - I am still the most awesome brother and coolest uncle! 😉

I don’t get your point. Don’t you usually wash your own sheets?

Now that OJ has passed, all those Non Disclosure Agreements are no longer in force. Keep an eye out - I am sure we will hear more about his “exploits”; especially those that happened pre-trial and never made the light of day.

I dont understand. Do you mean he was going to hire you twice and cancelled both times…and now he wants another appointment so you want a deposit for appoinment number 3? Bottom line: you can do what you want as long as the customer agrees to the terms.

He is in NYC at the moment. Sent pics via text that looks nothing like pics online. Not worth the gamble - thanks for the heads-up guys!

Not sure what you meant to say here… ⬆️ We are going into Q1 earnings season where large corporations announce earnings and profits for the 1st quarter of the year. Dont be surprised by record profits - they are using “inflation” as an excuse to raise prices to deliver larger profits. Take that into account - I like to believe I am a realist too, and as realists, we aim to see the entire picture.

I dont mean to nit-pick but if you ask me to bottom during our session, I will almost always decline. I generally top (due to blessings of a big dick) and will need time to prepare - the time to ask is before the session. Sometimes I just dont feel it and dont want to bottom despite how proud I am of my perky, smooth peaches. So…ask ahead of time to avoid disappointment!
