You won't regret it (and not because of the tea)! He really takes care of his gentlemen callers, esp if they are older. He told me his last BF was 42! I asked him if I could be his BF - he thought that was funny.

Another astute, quirky observation from @Tarte Gogo, except in my case I get more nervous than excited, even after doing this for a few years. BTW does anybody know how to tell if a B of A ATM gives out $50s ? Some do some don't and there seems to me to be no rhyme or reason to it. I can't tell without sticking my card in and entering my password (BOSCO!)

So interesting to read how different people's minds work. For me though the above snippet sums it up best (if I am understanding it properly). I don't consider myself to have particularly high self esteem but I go into these encounters expecting to be "pleased in every way possible". I question potential providers beforehand and if they don't do the things I like I don't hire in the first place. I understand that an experience can be anywhere from outstanding to dreadful even with careful vetting, but I go in expecting outstanding. If my expectations are met their "reward" (some might consider it a punishment ) is that I hire again. If not its a one and done. In fact most of my regulars over the last few years have been guys who have got back in touch with me after a pleasant first encounter (from both perspectives). So clearly they were happy enough not getting a tip. As far as going above and beyond the call of duty I agree it would have to be something besides the actual sex and sadly that has never happened to me - except maybe Wicekdboy - he made me a cup of tea after we were done . Does that count? I didn't tip him. I feel bad now.

Good summary but I think a better and simpler one comes from earlier in @Strafe13's post: Said with tongue planted firmly in cheek! Nothing more offensive to my gay sensibilities than bad taste!

Still wrong but at least mildly amusing after my correction.

Neither do I! So many hot guys to watch grunting and moaning while struggling to lift that barbell.....one......more.......time...........arghhhhhhhh!! Straight boys, so entertaining!

If you are going to criticize me at least have the decency not to mangle our beautiful language. It is a euphemism not an euphemism. See the link below for further explanation. http://www.writersdigest.com/online-editor/a-before-consonants-and-an-before-vowels-is-not-the-rule You also misuse the term. A euphemism is a milder or vaguer substitute for an offensive word, not the exact opposite. To denote sarcasm or an opposite meaning in print one uses quotation marks, which you did but you put them in the wrong place. Next time say: You do have a "talent" for mischaracterization. A little disappointed in you buddy. Your posts are usually so articulate/informative/witty but I guess even the best have a bad day now and then.

No one does it better than David Puddy Classic Seinfeld episode. You can even see "vegetable lasagne" sitting on the other side of Elaine!

Its not the math. In both cases the probability of something untoward happening are unknown and most likely low. I think that the probability that someone who knows you or desires to do you harm is among the 2000 monthly visitors to this website (and far far fewer who would actually notice your profile pic) is less than of something bad happening by sending your pic to one of the more than 1000 guys on RM, where the % of wackos is higher (my opinion of course can't prove it). As far as revisiting in a year - we could but I think the seat belt analogy applies. One could drive every day of one's adult life w/o wearing a seat belt and quite easily suffer no dire consequence. Doesn't make it advisable. (I know I know not a great analogy but decent. If I think of a better one later I'll edit this post.)

I didn't say it was a god awful, totally illogical, invalid analogy, just a bad one. Cars are physical goods, things one can take possession of. Time with an escort is not. A better analogy would be to compare it to a vacation or something like that. BTW - Love your profile pic. AbFab is my all time fave TV show.

OK I see your point (despite the triple negative). But I still think there is more risk in sending your pics to a potential hire than to post them on this forum. There have to be more "whack jobs" on RM and BP than here. Though I would advise not doing either. I find that a little hard to believe. In 15 years you have never been victimized by fake pics, age shaving, upselling, or shortchanging on time or promised services? If that is true you should document your vetting procedure, file for a patent and sell it to the rest of us.

I can't argue with that and I am not advising anyone to post pics of themselves though I see now that my earlier post could be construed that way. But that brings me back to my original point which was that to send pics of yourself to an un-vetted potential hire is infinitely more foolish than to post them on this forum.

With respect I feel completely the opposite way. If you truly believe you have nothing to hide and don't care who knows that you are hiring escorts then it seems much more sane and rational to me to share one's true likeness with a group of like-minded guys who are ostensibly friendly and trying to help each other than with a complete stranger and quite possibly a scam artist. Just my 2 cents.

The two are not mutually exclusive. A car can be an engineering masterpiece and a status symbol at the same time.

Not a good analogy. A fancy car is a status symbol a pricey escort is not - unless you are toting him around town as a trophy!

The needs of they many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one! BTW - Lost in Space marathon on Decades channel right now if anyone is interested. Dr. Smith is hilarious!

Nice face but he is definitely sucking in his gut in the pics.

Not many but most of us who don't are honest about wanting to be discreet. We are not hypocrites who say we have nothing to hide.

This coming from someone who doesn't show his face in his profile pic. <--- Rolling my eyes

Maybe its just me but something I noticed as a guy who likes all types, and have hired roughly an equal number of white, black, and latino guys is that the latin guys always cum and never has one asked me for more $$ to do so. And I don't think its because they feel its part of the job but rather just for the physical pleasure. Either way I love it! Anyone else agree? Please don't accuse me of racial profiling - that is just my experience.

Come on. He's spectacular - worth every penny and more, but unless he's had major implants since he relocated to CA his dick is not that big. But if you're lucky enough to live close by to him don't let that discourage you from going to see him. You will leave very satisfied I assure you.

There was a similar thread a few months back https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/is-it-a-red-flag-if.128579/ The general consensus, in case you don't feel like sorting through all the posts, was that the only person stupider than a provider who asks a potential client for pics is a client who actually complies with the request.

He told me he hasn't decided yet but is considering it as he does some modeling and there are better modeling gigs in LA. But please don't encourage him. We want him back in NY

He was born in Brazil but has a British passport now. He speaks all of the Latin languages as well as perfect English with a really cute Brit accent. Surprising as he has only resided there for a few years if I am remembering correctly. English accents usually turn me off - make me think of bad teeth or something, but not with WB. He is as good as advertised on this thread. Saw him last week - total sweetheart and exceptionally skilled at his craft. Takes his time and makes guests feel very welcome at his place. He even made me a cup of tea after we were done. Thanks to @freecahill1965 and @Martin for recommending him. And WB if you see this please come back to NY! I'd hate to hear you decided to move to LA and got burned up in a fire. Kidding of course!

Is he on RM or one of the other sites? If so can you tell us who he is? If you like the guy and are worried that your post may diminish his reputation I wouldn't be. It actually intrigued me. I'd like to see what he looks like. I'm always willing to take a chance on a good kisser.
