KeepItReal

I tried to connect with him this week. Very slow to respond so I moved on. Was nice enough when he finally responded to my text.

This topic again. Sigh. 🙈

This was the purpose of the review site.

I took it the same way. If I was concerned with safety, I would wait two days, open a thread on the companion (or add to an existing thread) and simply say: Met him recently, would not recommend. @rustyrex is a long time member - enough said.

We see you.

He advocated for, and supported, gay conversion therapy. Did you know that? But sure, I am the one exaggerating.

I don't want to shut it down...I just want to call it what it is. Bbaaaaddd!

And that should tell you everything you need to know about organized religion.

Funny how many of those "fair minded people" allowed him to cloak his hate in religious beliefs for so many years. The families he broke apart, the lives he destroyed... I guess our definition of "fair" may differ quite a bit.

Shake away!

We tried that. High road didn't work for us - now its time to go low. That's where the traction is. See you there.

Big man! I'd hate to be the one who has to see to his care and feeding! 🤭

Two come to mind: 1) The best little boy in the world by Andrew Tobias is probably the most recommended book I have seen. 2) Straight Jacket by Matthew Todd. These books are mainly aimed at gay men, but it should give you a start.

Nope - account was settled. I didn't want to create the impression that there was more to be had.

Had a very interesting experience Friday evening. Had a...gentleman caller, shall we say, stop by to see me. Full marks all the way through. On time, looked exactly like his pics, hot and a real hand full. But he just wouldn't leave! Dropped hints, asked about his plans for the evening. Offered him a ride. Dude just wanted to hang out. At one point I thought he was just gonna spend the night. 🤭 Has something similar ever happened to one of you? How did you handle it? 🤔 .

It was working earlier today - but was running slow.

I hardly ever recommend buying individual stocks - even preferred stocks. I suspect you are talking about BAC.PRL (L series). Would recommend you consider a fund that holds preferred securities instead, like the iShares Preferred ETF or PFF. That is what I would do - sorry Suze!

Easy - I do it every day. Frankly, the idea of polluting the aroma of freshly made coffee with the smell of cigarette smoke appeals to me about as much as a visit to the DMV.

I don't see him on RM anymore, but he is still active on Adam4Adam under the Pro section in NYC.

That is a reasonable tip for what you described. I usually tip the same as the cost of the massage if I left happy and didn't get short changed on time.

The guys are budgeting for their trips to Fire Island this summer...needs must! 😉

I approached him two years ago when he started advertising on Mintboys. He was new to this and had...very high expectations, shall we say. He was using the exact same pics back then. I wouldn't mind approaching him again - he seemed like a nice guy.

In the eternal words of that great philosopher, Austin Powers: Yay Capitalism! In my experience - a great experience can be had and is worth paying for.

In my opinion you are expecting too much from somebody you have never met. I applaud you for giving him a heads-up and sending a cancellation fee. Have done so myself in the past when my plans changed. It is likely he will be more personable once he actually meets you. I do hope you are feeling better or at least, well on your way to recovery. 🙂
