Come in for a Bentley, but end up riding (pun intended) a Toyota. Classic.

Just to say it, not taking the full course of prescribed antibiotics has been demonstrated to create the circumstances under which bacteria can develop antibiotic resistance.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, have mercy on our souls and delete that photo so that others don't need to suffer as I have having seen it.

In the eternal words of that great philosopher Van Wilder: “Don’t be a fool - wrap your tool!” ?

This shows that any advice encouraging you to push things with a licensed therapist was bad advice. It commonly is. When this happens, you're better off simply enjoying the great therapeutic massage and the "will he/won't he" dynamic when it comes to any hanky-panky.
 
I think I've said this before here somewhere. I've gotten lucky with a few legit certified therapists over the years (including one working at a chiropractic office). What worked for me was the opposite of the advice you got. For example, if the guy grazed my balls I did not react at all. If the guy pressed a boner on my arm, I did not react at all.
 
That seems to communicate willingness better than reacting (either when the teasing happens or by changing your behavior during the next session). And I think that's because (a) an unwilling/straight guy would likely react to that by adjusting his position, (b) an unwilling/straight guy would likely feel uncomfortable and consequently wouldn't rebook, and © it suggests I'm not a creep who'll lunge for his dick if he decides to push the envelope a bit more. In my experience, a certified therapist will knock on your door, if you will, not to see if you'll bust it wide open... but instead to decide for himself, based on your reaction, whether he wants to risk checking if it's unlocked and try to slowly open it himself.
 
Of course, it's possible that one happens to book with a therapist who is legit waiting for the client to grab the therapist's wiener (or send an obvious signal that falls short of that). But the risk with assuming that is that the therapist might end up being offended if you got it wrong. And an offended therapist might blacklist you from his practice, report you to the doctor who gave you the prescription, or even overreact and call the police on you.

My guess is that he was trying to swindle you out of $100 thinking you'd rather agree to that last-minute change than cancel the appointment. If he had actually given you the wrong rate by mistake (and I'm not sure how voice-to-text turns four hundred into three hundred), then he could have
"manned" up about it without putting you in an awkward spot less than two hours before you were supposed to meet up. I would have cancelled too.

He looks like any guy on my street to me. Am I missing something?

This is why I'll never understand the prep bareback crowd.

I would have done the same thing were I in his place. The Russians have been very opaque concerning the pandemic in their country. I wouldn’t trust a thing their president says about it.

Catfish! He looked older in person and was not muscular. Didn't look like his pics. Cute-ish face, but as soon as I realized I was being deceived, I turned around and walked away.

There's already a Slater in NYC. This be my corner, bitch!

The one and only time I was asked for a photo i sent a picture of my hand holding some cash...we had a great time..

San Francisco is very gay friendly though
, I have lived here over 20 years and find The City and surrounding towns very tolerant. The thing to consider when moving to San Francisco is the homeless situation. This is no joke and many of my friends have moved from neighborhoods like the Castro and SOMA because they no longer feel safe. Generally neighborhoods like Pacific Heights and the inner and outer Richmond are safer.
 
As an older gay man (did I just admit to that) I no longer enjoy living in The Castro and am considering a move to Sonoma, Russian River or Napa. They have a more mature gay population.
 
Adding to that as someone else mentioned that with C19 bars and restaurants have limited seating, that being said many parkletts have sprung up and the closed of streets in The Castro and other neighborhoods where they have alfresco dining. Bars have teamed up with restaurants which in my opinion is a win win.
 
With many moving out of the city with C19 prices are coming down. Rent by as much as 30%. It’s still pricey though.

We didn't have a chance to have a bite.
