I agree. It makes little sense. Here is a screenshot of the alert.

It is cute that you expect public servants to be superior to the general public from whence they came! 😋

It is odd how we have high expectations of public figures. I remember an old joke (thanks to your profile pic and this is not intended to be political at all) "Which candidate would you choose as a public figure? Candidate A: Was kicked out of office twice; sleeps until noon; used opium in college; drinks a quart of brandy every evening. Candidate B: Is a decorated war hero, a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an occasional beer, and has had no illicit love affairs" Candidate A is Winston Churchill. Candidate B is Adolf Hitler. It reminds me that you shouldn't judge a book by its Onlyfan...hmm...cover. 😉

Welcome "Dan".

Ahem. It's an expression. https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/nine-times-out-of-ten If you send a deposit you will never see your doh again! 🤭

Yes, indeed. I am traveling to the West Coast next week. My firm utilize a travel agent that provides travel alerts as part of travel preparations. They sent me a note this afternoon notifying me that there has been an uptick in Monkeypox cases in CA during the past month. 😳

Indeed. 10 minutes is barely long enough for morning prayer, I am sure you agree! 😉

He's been discussed quite a bit. Hired him in Philly in 2017 - did not have a good experience and cannot recommend. (Don't confuse Anthony Flex with Anthony Philly - both were Anthonys operting in Philly but vastly different experience)

Link provided does not work - do you have an up to date link?

Reached out two weeks ago after I noticed the profile on rentmn. There were some red flags that came up during our exchange that resulted in me deciding not to go through with the meet. Recommend that you do your due diligence ahead of time.

I don't think it is racist. I do think it is actually used in a way that reflects xenophobia. A difference, certainly. But still says a lot about "some people" who use the term "latin" in a derogatory fashion. That was your intent, was it not? 🤔

Like Toniazzo for example? https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/117361-411-on-marktoniazzo-in-nyc/

There are multiple positive comments from folks that met him in 2022 in the existing thread...how is that "little info" and "out of date"??

If you search for Toniazzo you will get plenty of threads.

Google FIRE movement https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-independence-retire-early-fire.asp

Lots of talk today in the news about the debt ceiling and potential impact on investors. If you are an investor, how concerned are you and what precautions are you taking? https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/18/what-the-debt-ceiling-is-and-how-a-standoff-may-affect-consumers.html (Original poster's request: please stay on topic, I would like this thread to remain in the Personal Finance section. No politics pls).

I am very familiar with the Murray Hill Gang - having written about them myself. He is not part of that "gang" - if he was his pictures would be far more appealing. Just because he is Russian and use inaccurate pics, does not make him part of that group. Don't make assumptions. https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/86132-411-on-sasha/#comment-1114889

Comment not helpful Request from original poster: folks, please leave your shoes and xenophobia in the mud room before entering. Stay on topic.

I met Aleks the week before Christmas in NYC. Had a few days off from work and decided to meet some of the new talent in town. Nice guy, has an interesting massage technique - he has a hard touch so if you like your muscles worked, he may be an option to consider. Quite responsive - willing to be flexible on time and location. That being said - the pictures posted do not reflect his appearance so I cannot recommend him. https://rentmen.eu/AleksRU/

@leftbench23 @Wolfer It looks like you are clients and not providers. Question was directed at providers...

No. There are some things I consider private. My hobby of hiring, my net worth/annual earnings and the Justin Bieber blow up doll I have in the back of the closet in the hallway are a few examples of things I do not share with anyone. 🤫

If you try the search box at the top of the page you will find threads on both of them.

Or you could cut back on the snark, text him back "too far outside of my budget" and leave it at that?
