Size matters for some, more than others.

If you offer politely, they can accept/reject politely. A polite decline has happened to me, no one has ever thrown a bill back at me. But there are douchebags everywhere so there is that. See chart below as of 2023.

I always check Wirecutter before making a purchase on a big ticket or unknown item. 😁 https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-standing-desk/

Yes, he is back in NYC. The gist of our conversation was: he is looking for twinks to film content with.

Is it really a case of not understanding it...or not accepting it? I am sure she can live without your understanding or acceptance. If you really crave understanding, the American Psychological Association wrote an excellent article on it in 1975.

I met him. Nice enough. A little quiet. Massage seemed very mechanical. Wouldn't recommend. 😆😆

Life and liberty isn't political - though some will try to make it so. Land of the free, home of the brave after all.

This hasn't been my experience. Perhaps it has something to do with your location or the type of guys you are reaching out to (traveling guys).

Never pay upfront. If you do decide to take a chance and provide a deposit up front, always use PayPal "Paying for an item or service" with a description "Vendor deposit". That way, if he disappears you can file for a refund by telling PayPal the vendor did not show up. PayPal is usually quite good at charge backs if you have an established account for more than a year and no history of frequent charge backs. 🤓

Kevinslater Toniazzo Start with tthese2 guys on rentmen - all are warm, friendly and happy to please.

Not clear on what you are looking for...top or bttm?

Sounds like a very good deal...take it or send him my way!! 😉😉

I've been traveling extensively the past month in Central and Southern Africa. Options have been very limited. My NYC regulars keep texting me...I guess they miss me. 😋

Okay you two... @Monarchy79 @pubic_assistance...get a room!

So what's your secret to success? 🤔

Same! ☝️

If there was a "frequently asked" section here, you would find this topic at the top of the list. With no consensus. 10% will say zero tip, 10% will say 100% tip...and the rest will be somewhere in between. I choose to tip for excellent service, but apply judgment as to the size of tip - based on service, fee, experience and history with companion.

I agree with our resident bean counter! ( @Beancounter) There are income limits for a Roth IRA - you can make too much money to qualify...but there are ways around it. Most firms use a financial firm to administer their 401k - like Vanguard, Fidelity or Empower. These firms often offer free advice and you can ask to speak to an advisor about a Roth - just don't let them talk you into doing a rollover (moving money from your 401k to an IRA). If you like podcasts - the Moneygirl podcast has episodes on retirement accounts that will be an hour well spent, before you talk to an advisor.

The two sites are very different, not just the topics covered but the audience as well. Which is a good thing. Yeay diversity! 👏

That hasn't been my experience and I have floated between the two sites for years as a participating member. Guess I am just lucky! 😌 Thanks @Lucky

I can agree to that.

It is no worse over there than it is over here. Every forest has its "special" trees. If you hang around long enough, you will figure it out. Different isn't necessarily nut-job. 🤓
