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!!

It actually is when you are on a personal device like a phone or tablet. But thank you for your opinion.

Indeed - we have noticed

Got to meet him in person. Pictures are accurate and so is the description. Attractive slim boy. 😁 Looks much younger than I expected. I probably won't repeat - he is just too young for me. If he's around in another 5 years, will definitely reconsider.

Noticed this newbie - anyone had the pleasure? https://rentmen.eu/SlimBoy_Carlos

Just don't miss!

Have to disagree. It is certainly right there on the edge of snarky but not rude in my book. I tend to roll out the snark quite a bit myself, so maybe that is why I find the comment funny. 🤷‍♂️

I don't really frequent Spas in NYC - but this profile caught my eye and he ("Sergey") claims to have worked at a well known Spa in NYC. Anyone recognize him and can maybe recommend him? https://rentmasseur.com/SergeyUA Thanks!

#GokuSuperSaiyanMode 🤣

Have you considering getting your hands around the problem? In other words, jerk off ahead of time so you aren't so...excitable? (It's know as the There Is Something About Mary approach! Lol)

I agree with @mike carey. Don't make too many assumptions or try to overthink. Ask him instead of assuming. If he questions why you are asking so many questions - tell him you want to make sure he has a good time while visiting. Explain that if he does not communicate his desires (does he want you to show him some of the local sights) you can't prepare (some spots require reservations). It is okay to ask if he would be okay staying at your place. Be tactful but direct. Maintain a positive vibe and make it work! 😉

Maybe sticking with the review theme - www.adamapproved.com I am also willing to let go of www.keepitreal.com! 😉

He did, the next day. He wasn't available on the day I texted him or the next day when he returned my text.

I am currently traveling and seeing this guy visiting Dallas. Any insights to share? https://rentmen.eu/Manhattanboi

Do you work as a couple....'cause that could be fun! 😉

So much for "Loyalty & Honesty"! 🙄

Contacted him by text, no response back. Will give him another shot based on your comments.

There are some laws (FOSTA/SESTA) that could get you in trouble, but under free speech it is likely a "he who owns the site makes the rules" situation. Also depends on where the website is domiciled. 🤓

That is good advice - blocking them from seeking once you go to an offline discussion is a pretty good idea, especially when things look to get dicey. I have the same policy - I need to see them face to face, even if it is a video call, before I am willing to provide any aid. There are just too many scammers out there.
