No.

Welcome. You are going at this the wrong way around. Step 1: Identify the city you are interested in. Step 2: Then identify the masseur. Step 3: Use the search box at the top of the page to find an existing thread. Step 4: At that point you can start a new thread or ask about him in the existing thread. Step 5: Report back on your experience. 👍

Thank you @Kevin Slater. Just to be clear: this is not a recommendation or financial advice. I am simply sharing what I am doing based on my circumstances. Always a good idea to consult a licenses professional that knows your circumstances before making big financial decisions. (And no, you cant afford me!! Haha) 🤓

Indeed - it is adding to some of the concerns I have been nursing about Cap based index funds. Specifically, concentration risk. I have started to de-risk by shifting to Equal weight index funds. (Instead of ending up with SpaceX at 4% of the fund projected at entry, it will only be 0.2%)

1. Ask him what is wrong. If he is honest and vulnerable, be kind. 2. Give him a second chance. 3. Find someone else to meet your needs. Life is change. No way to stop it, that I can see.

Multiple threads on him - he keeps changing his name. That is usually a red flag. https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/159122-411-on-soccer_us-in-nyc/ Used to go by Johnny and Johhny Sports before the Taylor switch. He’s been around for many years - understates his age.

So instead of taking the time to educate this young man “That is more than I usually offer” you choose to be a smartass? Stop making me feel like the adult in the room - I am not old enough for that!

So where do you draw the line in terms of the information you can use to decide to hire? Do you judge a provider just on their rentmen profile? Do you read his reviews on rentmen. Do you read his reviews here? What is the difference between a review here that says “he was not into it, I dont think he liked xyz” vs a public profile on a dating app that says “I don’t like xyz”. We all make decision based on the data points we have available - dont be so quick to judge someone for their decision making. Both the client and the provider have the right to make their own decision based on what they know. I could label you delusional for ignoring a data point that came directly from the provider, but I wont because labeling people is not cool.

Okay buddy - get off your high horse before you fall off and hurt yourself. The OP provided his opinion and asked for other opinions. The OP did not suggest we set the provider on fire nor that we tar and feather him. Tone down the drama - no need for “astounded and frankly nauseating” here.

Why? Is he missing? 🤨

Could we stop with the attempts to make HIV positive sound glamorous. It is still life changing today. You need to find a good doctor. You are on meds for the rest of your life. You have constant labs and blood work. And the mental health challenges are brutal. I have seen and helped many friends through this.

Why does his sexual orientation matter?

I am sorry to hear that you can’t handle 5 inches. Maybe start with 3 inches and work your way up?

Buyer beware: DVD and Blu Ray discs dont last forever - I have lost a few to “dvd rot”. Some were less than 10 years old. I still like my collection but also plan to lose some every year.

Apparently some will even criticize a dude for being too handsome. 🤦‍♂️

Has anyone seen Tan recently?

I dont understand why you would call it the elephant in the room. According to the CDC, construction workers have the highest rate of drug use and drug overdose rates (opiods). Same is true in Europe as well, not just USA. Sex workers isnt in the top 3. You are welcome to your opinion, but your assumptions need work.

Thank you for your rant. I am sorry to say that your “two cents” appear to be indicative of a severe case of “tunnel vision”. If you are not open to the idea that you may be misreading someone’s intentions…you will always see things the same way.

Read the thread again…

I have done both Roth conversions and Roth 401k contributions for many years. Given how many years I have left before retirement it makes sense for me. Never regretted it - but you may want to talk it over with your tax preparer/CPA ahead of time. Especially if you have more than one IRA account it gets very complicated how your conversion will be allocates across the various IRA accounts.

And the dad jokes are out there…

Oh, my poor, innocent young friend! You really think Grindr is a “dating” app?? 😆 The word you are looking for is “hookup”! 😉

I am terrible with faces and names. Every time I go back to my home town I run into people who recognize me but I have no idea who they are. It can be awkward as hell. And sometimes it leads to a pleasant memory!

It always surprises me to see how many profiles on the various sites (rentmen, rentmasseur, A4A etc) shows the guy staged with, or draped over, an expensive vehicle. Also a significant correllation between profiles with this type of picture and language that implies “high class” or something similar. Have you noticed this too and do you find this picture makes the provider more appealing? Does it make them appear more manly or butch? Curious to understand the logic - any sociologists in the house? 🤓

I always tell my friends: there is a difference between price and value - make sure you don’t confuse the two.
