I shared the story to show that no one wore masks, and there were 3 reported cases out of 3000 vaccinated passengers and crew, with 0 hospitalizations and 0 deaths.  Of those who had reported cases, they were only discovered because of mandatory regular testing of crew members.  Symptoms were so mild it was less intense than the common cold.

Haha, the question I want to ask is how you got a crew member to join you for play 4 times?! It must have been a cruisy cruise!

As a client, how do you feel about leaving a provider a voicemail, when reaching out to them for the first time? I'm asking however many of you are willing to respond.

I ask because I've had an issue with spam since week one. To better explain, I recently posted the following response to one of my RM Interview questions:

 

I often come across as "super serious" when communicating through text, email and social media. Don't let that give you the wrong impression, should you reach out to me in writing.

Every day, I receive literally over 1,000 spam texts, emails and social media messages. Bots, trolls, flakes, harassers, stalkers, con artists, other providers “booking me up” so I won’t have any availability… The list of time-wasting, juvenile nonsense is endless.

As such, I must ask strangers to initially contact me through voicemail. If you’re not comfortable with leaving a voicemail, you may text/email your availability to me and I’ll give you a call. Beyond scheduling a phone call, I will not engage in written conversation with strangers.

Alternatively, you may pay an upfront deposit.

If I don’t respond within a couple of days, please don’t hesitate to re-message me. Sometimes legit messages get lost in the ocean of spam.

 

Does any of this seem unreasonable? Does anyone even read this stuff?

Lastly, considering that:

–my ad's ~3 years old

–I have over 90 glowing reviews (0 negative reviews), many of which from profiles that have reviewed other providers and/or from profiles that were created years before mine was

–I've posted numerous recent photos and videos on social media and OnlyFans

Would it be unreasonable for me to charge a $25 booking fee?

Does anyone have any advice for me? I'm looking to weed out the time-wasters, without scaring away those of you who are legitimate.

Thank you all for your feedback!

I completely understand your intent on wanting to post your disclaimers as a way to reduce spam, bots, trolls and time wasters. All businesses have this same issue to deal in some respect. 
 

I would say as someone browsing potential hires, I would probably not attempt to connect based on the stern tone. I think there is a better way to edit that message a bit without sounding like everyone is annoying you. I also would pass because of the booking fee as it comes across as self righteous. I am not a provider, so I’m not the expert at advertising your services, but I know in other businesses, this would be a turnoff to potential customers. 
 

I think advertising should focus on engaging the client to book you without hesitation. There has to be an allure or something that creates the desire to connect. Marketing 101. Selling, marketing, advertising is all a game. Stay focused on winning people over, not pushing people away. Disruptions, as annoying as they can be, is a part of business. I would guess that if someone reached out more than once as a follow up is someone who is interested…just in case you are truly bombarded with the amount of spam, etc that you described. People want to connect with someone who comes across as sincere, genuine and appreciative. You attract more bees with honey. 
 

My two cents as a business person, and client. Wishing you success.

Fiercehungtop - Pornstar Performer, Rentboy, Gay Massage in Palm Springs, CA | RentMen

This guy did porn as Jack London. (Google it.) Profile says he's 26. He used to live across the street from me. He was trashy hot. I moved 22 years ago. That means he was 4 when he did me. 

He used to gogo dance at Fubar atleast 15 years ago. He also worked out at LA fitness in hollywood in 2000’s   He is more like 40. Some of those pics are 15 years old as well.

I did

Who happened to reach out to you.  Assuming you’re in Los Angeles, I wonder if we had the same text from a masseur trying to book last week/this week?

I did meet Joey Stefano for about 12 seconds. 

How were those 12 seconds?  I saw him at a club in the 90’s and he was stunning…but I could tell he was high on something. I was out with a group of friends and one of them brought their new boyfriend who happened to be another porn star in the 90’s - Domino. It was a bit surreal seeing 2 porn stars back in the VHS days. And a bit shocking to see that they were smaller in stature than I imagined from their videos. And speaking of being naive in my 20’s….learning that porn names were not their real names! 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

I guess these rules are flexible... good to know

Yep, the religious content up the thread is still posted. Are the rules flexible, or selective?

Was anyone aware that he moved to Mexico City? I’ve had 3 sessions with him and ready to book again and couldn’t find his ad under Los Angeles. Did a search and he populated under Mexico City although he is traveling the Southwest states for the next month. 😪

I think it’s well animated and kind of funny. Not sure where they are posting or broadcasting this ad, but I could see it being confusing or offensive to a non-gay audience….?

Happy birthday!

he sent me this link with all the info. He requested a few days advance booking notice.

97% sure I’ve played with this guy at the gym… I’ll just say the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s massive. And fun to play with. 

Which gym does he go to? You can PM me for discretion.

Nice find! I just messaged him on IG

This.

That’s is 99% of the game. 

On here, I find the "ignore" functions helps. It keeps me from “accidentally" responding 
to some stupid shit that they’ve posted….that had the sole intent of getting a rise out 
of me. Don’t give them that power. 

Yes, they will make up other pseudonym’s here to come after you, but it’s 
easy enough to quickly pick up on their tone/tactics. Leopards don’t change
their spots.

Use the ignore function freely. It’s easy enough to go back, after the storm has 
passed, and "unignore’’ some of the innocent by standers that may have accidentally
been caught in your net. 

Out side the forum, use the same tactics. Ignore anything that smells like bait. 
 

I was unaware this site has an “Ignore” function. Where is it?

I have never attended one of my University reunions.  However, a couple of years ago, I made the sad mistake of attend for the first time a high school reunion. It was my 55th.  I graduated from a very large high school in Los Angeles yet many of the students in my graduating class and I had gone to school together for thirteen years.  I don't think I have ever been that bored in my life.  Many of the guys were gleefully discussion passes and tackles that had made in school games over fifty years ago.  Many of the women were chattering away about various prom dresses they had worn.  It seemed that for meany of these people life came to a standstill after they graduated from "high school".  The one thing that salvaged the evening for me was that I was seated next to the husband of one of my classmates.  He did not attend our high school and was also bored to death.  After a few minutes we struck up a conversation on a multitude of topic.  At the end of the evening we thanked each other for making the evening endurable.

What high school in LA did you attend?  I passed on attending my 40th high school reunion but did enjoy viewing all the photos taken. I wasn’t a big fan of my high school years and excelled in college socially…although I’ve don’t a poor job staying in contact with my fraternity brothers and friends.

Bumping this topic again one year later….  Perhaps there have been some new people that have surfaced recently? 

Where are those private gyms in LA and the Valley located? Are they true gyms with private training, or bathhouses like the Hollywood Spa?  Please PM if it needs to be discreet  been looking for a personal trainer with access to a private facility….

You may have already tried this, but if not, I would suggest try using the free and gentle one you have but use 1/2 or 1/3 as much as recommended and do an extra rinse cycle. There have been a number of studies that say the average person uses way too much detergent (and detergent manufacturers are ok with that!). 
I also think woolite may be worth trying. 
 

Steve

Good idea about doing an extra rinse cycle. I didn’t even think about that! I have sensitive skin as well and use Tide Free and Gentle. I also use 1/2 the recommended amount
