Age shaving, I believe, is totally ok as long as one actually looks even remotely that age. If one does not, it is indeed a deceit.

I also have been obsessed with this clip. Katrina Lenk performing as Tevye really made me question my homosexuality for a few seconds.
 

I have been watching Robbie Fairchild dance the hell out of Music and the Mirror about ten times a day for the past few weeks. His movements are so strong and clean, and for me it is difficult to focus on the dialogue at the beginning with the reflection of Robbie's fine bottom behind him.....

Bought my ticket for “The Band’s Visit” showing at the Barrymore Theater. Very excited! Love the Original Broadway Cast Recording, have been listening to it for a week now.
 
Will be seeing the show May 30th along with “Hello, Dolly!” on my first ever trip to Broadway.

Nyblkguy makes an interesting point when he says that Spencer Whitman should bluntly tell interested clients like kenomara in his first response that he doesn’t do business with Asians, Blacks, Latinos or other non-whites, despite his tired, Archie Bunker-like claim to forum member TJnDb that “many of his best friends are (fill in the blank with a non-white ethnic group)”. But as hurtful as Forum member Kenomara may have found Whitman’s method of communicating his long known practice of racial profiling, it may actually be marginally better (slightly less hurtful) than the method used by two well-reviewed White NYC Rentmen escorts, who also limit their business to white clients, but utilized a more frustrating and hurtful response for the times when my black partner as well as my Latino coworker reached out to them.
 
If forum member NYblkguy’s name is an indication of both his race and home city, feel free to PM me on these two nyc escorts so that you don’t have to encounter what Kenomora, or worse, what my two nonwhite NYC friends encountered when they repeatedly encountered these two escorts who also profile racially.

I was going to recommend myself until you got to the "great body" part. You might try "Dude Next Door" Eric Hassan.
He has the passion
He has the style,
He'll kiss you slow
And deep
For awhile.
Then hold you tight
In a muscular grip
And if you like
He'll go to the whip.
He'll fuck your ass until you're sore
Despite the pain, you'll ask for more.
So, he's the man I recommend
For passion, for kissing and in the end.

I feel the need to point out this is one area where white privilege doesn't really exist. Perhaps it is less common, but I have been rejected by guys I was interested in many times because they were "only into asian guys", or "only into latin guys", etc. I think there are lots of guys of all races who have their preferences, and most all of us have experienced this sort of rejection at one time or another.
As for hiring, I am older and a bit overweight. When I contact a provider, I give them all of my vital statistics to let them decide if they are willing to take me as a client and avoid all of their questions later.

Waiting with bated breath.....Ocposterboy please come back and report if you saw him!

I was asking on our mutual behalf!

I'm with you through most of your post except "sometimes blacks" because I'd wager black Americans experience rejection and objectification just as often as Asians. Ultimately, though, this isn't a contest. It's a challenging complex of issues in our culture that works with some of our oldest basic biology to create and reinforce racism in all its forms.

Are people still using the, “some of my best friends are _______” excuse. If you’re going to say this now a days, don’t put up an Instagram account, where we can see all of your friends. I guess friends are people in the entertainment industry now. “How can I be racist, I listen to Beyoncé!”

Kenomara, I am sad to hear this happened to you. I have spoken candidly about blanket racial rejection in other threads and facing similar experiences, whether with providers, hook-up apps, and/or at bars or spas.
 
To be rejected for your race is a pain that can't be easily described and sadly one Asians, Indians, and sometimes blacks experience all too often. It is white privilege to both not have to experience it and own the power of rejection.
 
The harsh and all encompassing "nos," i.e. "no Asians," dehumanize. You are no longer a person, you are a category. The even more offensive "no rice or spice" (no Asians or Indians) reduces you to an object. I'm sure there are white patrons that guys like Spencer are not attracted to, but they at least not treated with the indignity of an automatic rejection before an in-person meeting.
 
At least you were spared the pain of being rejected to your face. To travel (I presume) to him with excitement and expectation, only to get "the look" (the same that patrons at bars and spas give, because they can't outright say "get away from me") and the awkward "sorry" followed by a closed door.
 
Eventually, I find I forget those "nos" and "looks." They happen so often. The residual, ongoing hurt comes from knowing you've done nothing wrong except being born what most of gay society deems "undesirable" and not being able to do anything about it. And also it hurts realizing for all the LGBT "progress" that's being touted, there is hate within our own community.
 
I'm going to stop now, because people on this board accuse me of playing "the race card" or having "issues." So thank you for sharing your experience, however painful, and having this discussion. Because being silenced is another type of "no."

Although I did feel crappy about being rejected, I do understand him on the preference issue. The thing I’m mostly upset about was the approach he took to get the information. It was just insincere and made the rejection felt worse. He could have just said to me “I prefer clients who are (whichever races).” Instead, he chose to initially cover up his real intention by making me think he wanted information to help him recognize me once we met. If you get to talk to him, please let him know that his current approach was hurtful, and that he should be more upfront about what he wants. Not necessarily on the ad itself, but in the subsequent communication with a client. No need to make up stuff to justify the question.

Unless other members come forward and say they didn’t have a good time with Mike because they are black, it’s pretty unfair to make that implication here. Spencer has admitted he won’t see Asians. As far as I know, no one has reported the same type of thing about Mike. There have been providers that people here seem to think walk on water where I’ve had a mediocre time. Others where people have not had good experiences and I’ve totally enjoyed myself. I don’t throw the race card and just chalk it up to chemistry.
 
I do agree people should just be upfront about it to save everyone’s time. Own it.

Wow he surely was a real nut job. That rant was literally all over the place.

Ugh I guess I’d have to wait for a legit young man to fulfill my long-repressed fantasy of getting plowed by a 21 yo.
 
Btw, does anyone know of a young, energetic top in LA that actually delivers? Most of the discussion I have seen about quality LA tops seems to be around guys over 25 (who are exceedingly fabulous, btw).

I’m in touch with him today via his A4A “Pro” ad....I’ll update if anything comes of it

This issue is always such a sticky point. I'm sure people would be equally upset when escorts say "No Fats, No Fems" as well. My issue with these type of people is how I have to navigate their issues. Anytime I approach an escort who's of a different race, I have to wonder if they will either: Not reply back or say they aren't into my race. The worst is when they do show up and then don't perform. It makes you wonder why they can't perform. Happened to me with Mike Gaite who people love on here. Was it racial, no idea. but it makes me wonder why this person can't perform for me, but get glowing reviews.
 
I think it would be more honest if he replied in every response to an inquiry, " So you are aware, I am not available for appts with the following ethnicities...."
 
This way he's being upfront about his limitations. Instead he hides behind asking what race the inquirer is and then rejecting them or not responding. Thus causing the inquirer to feel negative and possibly inadequate.
 
He should own his limitations, so that people can make a choice to deal with a limited person, or move on by full disclosure at every inquiry. Much like if you go to any other service provider and they say, we don't serve Gay people. That info would be good to know as early as possible.

Below is one thread on Daniel. I remember multiple threads but it may have been in conjunction with another LA masseur that Daniel occasionally worked with, Miles

Everyone discriminates over something when hooking up. Height, age, weight, masculine, etc. Race is no exception.
