I never knew you were a man of such...excess! 🤣

I guess I am used to wearing multiple hats so it doesn't look odd. I am still not paying $400 an hour though! 😋

This thread may be helpful. https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/118587-prep-surveyquestion/ Heymistr provides Descovy (not Truvada). A few guys I talked to reported slight upset stomach for a day or two when they started but it settled down and they are all still on Descovy. It is quite convenient to get your meds and your quarterly testing kit delivered to your door.

He is back in NYC - anyone seen him? https://rentmasseur.com/ScandiNYC

Did you peruse this thread? https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/131031-spas-in-nyc/page/181/#comments

I don't think I have seen that attitude around here, but point me to it if I missed it. What most guys are saying , from my reading, is that there is a difference between cost and value...and they are willing to pay the cost only when it aligns to the value they desire. I have established limits for the various experiences I desire. Cost vs value is one of those limits. That means sometimes I walk away from an opportunity. 🤷‍♂️

Be discreet but clear. Offer him a card with your number and ask him to reach out if he would consider meeting outside of the spa. Use the rates on Rentmasseur as a guide, but I would let him give you a rate once you have conveyed your interest and service needs. I've done this before and it worked out really well.

You enjoy the smell of chlorine? Now there is a fetish DuPont will approve of! 🤣

I guess I am about to find out how "trusted" I really am! Thanks folks!

My Global Entry/TSA Pre-Check expires in December 2022. Curious if anybody has renewed theirs the past few months and can give me an idea of 1) the wait time? 2) the experience - do I still have to do an in person visit at a CBP office or is it virtual now? Nothing has really changed since I got it initially (same passport, same drivers license, same home address etc) I am in New York City if that helps. Thanks!

He's been around for a while. At this point he must be closer to 36 than 26. Pics are "like him" but not "him". https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/125452-411-on-masseuryany/

Met him earlier this week. Nice guy, will repeat and happily recommend. 🙂

I agree with you - met him earlier this week. Will repeat and happily recommend.

Had a scare once when a provider notified me that he had been exposed and therefore I had been exposed to an STD. I thanked him for the heads-up, got tested, waited 10 days, got tested again, but nothing came from it. Ultimately it is up to you to protect yourself by taking the necessary precautions.

You mentioned your desire to become an escort back in December. I recall you did not take kindly to the comments about how difficult it will be to establish a supporting client base at your age (late 30s, right?) and the limits you indicated you wanted to operate under. Has any of this changed? If not I have to tell you, regardless of legality, running a profitable escorting business will be hard - as a long time observer my opinion is that those that become a success start early and build a recurring customer base.

Let's hope he is "lonely" no more!! 😁

I wanted to reach out but he does not have a phone number associated with his account. 😐

I am not clear on how you connected with him - did you approach him via social media or from a personal website? And did you speak with him face to face on Whatsapp or was it just a message exchange? It seems to me there are 2 scenarios and each have their own approach towards resolving it: 1. Did you really engage with Gio Melchor? 2. Did you engage with a scammer that pretends to be Gio Melchor? As @pubic_assistance pointed out - if you really engaged with Gio, have you given him enough time to respond?

Are you sure only in LA? The old joke is that when something unbelievable happens, it is usually a guy somewhere in Florida.

I agree, you need to be more assertive here, but also more subtle. The president's job is to set strategy with the agreement of the board. The CEO's role is to execute that strategy. Have you @xyz48B and the board agreed on the metrics that will be used to measure your success in executing the strategy? Do they agree that you are outperforming their expectations when it comes to those metrics? In the matter of the email, I would have handled it differently. I would have replied with something like: "Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. Let's meet tomorrow so I can provide some perspective on some of these items. " She clearly does not appreciate that you are trying to help, but feels like you are dismissing her concerns (even though it sounds like you are probably in the right!)...it also rather sounds like she wants your job, or at the very least is not comfortable with change that took responsibilities away from her. I guess everyone tries to protect their own rice bowl. Be sure to network and strengthen relationships with the key board members and department heads. Sounds like you need to solidify your position - until that happens, she is going to be a pain. Good luck!

But it's Adele! You monster, how can you be so heartless!! 🤭

It is a well known scam - previously discussed here on the forum. Avoid! https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/130193-5-deposit/

I need one of those!

Oh my! Sounds like it may be more fun than drag race!!
