I have met him. Pics are authentic. Hardcore bttm. Felt like he was strung out a bit. He is also hard to schedule. Does not respond or follow through most of the time. Quintessential circuit party gay guy.

He is good if you can catch him. Requires pics etc . More selective about who he takes on as a client. More of a newbie trying to see if he can make a few bucks on the side meeting guys of his choice.

Recently we had a thread where we discussed $500/hr pricing. Many in that thread concluded the price hike, in addition to inflation, was due to lack of new arrivals in to the trade due to Chaturbate and OnlyFans being good options to make money for many. So, quality and quantity both have gone down in the US....even in megamarkets like LA and NYC. New faces are mostly visitors from other countries. It"s time to consider immigration to the EU or the UK. Canada also seems to have great options.

I balance my NYT digital subscription with a WSJ digital subscription to get another perspective, but NYT is far superior in its graphics and data/stats driven stories. The user comments in NYT are also better organized and presented, diverse, and sometimes complement the main material. The highest recommended comments usually include the expected liberal perspective.

I think if we open a section in this forum for amateurs to advertise, the rates will come down. Due to RM, a few select ones who are better marketeers and commerce-oriented than service-oriented get unnecessary airtime and jack the prices up unreasonably. SESTA etc laws won't allow us to open such a section, but the supply-side of the trade needs to improve. In a comment above someone said the young ones are the ones quoting $500. As I age, I find many things expensive that some younger folks I know and who make much less than I do, don't. My price points seem to have fixated in early 2010s. That makes me wonder if the younger demographic of hobbyists (say 20s-40s) on this forum finds $500 expected price to pay to spend an hour with a provider you find attractive.

Looks sweet. But smells awful. Not a pro when it comes to scorting and hygiene requirements.. especially for booty lovers. First hand experience here from 2019. Also pix are whitewashed to make him look Caucasian. I think Tim Champagne is the all American beef fed white boy from Michigan you want. Honest, up front, and beautiful. But limited services and high priced. Mainly producing content these days. Paid 400 in 2021 in NYC for an hr, asks for 600 an hr in LA now.

I think you visited SF during a good week and perhaps a better year. The options available these days are not very good. Few visitors, but the local trade scene is pretty much gone. I think we should focus on solving the quality, vgl, reasonably priced escort availability problem on this forum than dealing with intractable problems like gun violence, opioid addiction, and homelessness in the US. Let's leave those for the society at large.

These days he only drives traffic to his OnlyFans by asking you to join while quoting a $5000 rate. I have met him in 2018 or so when he was still seeing clients. He gets into exactly what's seen in that video, and, he might flip on his stomach and let you service him from behind. If that's your thing, and you can do $5000, go for it.

I have interacted with him. The feeling I got from him was he prefers rich upscale white clients only (Wall Street, Bev Hills type) . The meeting did not happen, was ghosted when, I guess, he figured my net worth.

I think America has reached a point where, as ghettos get gentrified, it needs slums like those in India (Dharavi) or Brazil (Favela) where tired, poor, huddled masses go to play Hunger Games. Sometimes curious tourists from the rich countries can visit in their AC coaches to watch and wonder at the slum-dwellers' ingenuity at surviving from their tinted glasses and be content they don't live here. Oh wait, we already have those! I remember seeing an ad for Skid Row tours in LA.

@BSR what websites / app do you use to.hire in Barcelona/ Europe ? The escorts on RM listed there pretty much quote the same rate as here adjusted to Euros.

One argument I see for $400 pricing is rising demand combined with lack of fresh arrivals. With loneliness at epidemic levels, raised expectations about looks and body (due to excessive consumption of online porn, touched up Instagram filtered pix of youthful men who spend hours in a gym and peddle fitness advise and protein powders and drinks) that can not be met by avg real-life people, and reduced stigma around paid sex, I am sure there is more demand for escorts than before. Also, lately I don't see a whole lot of eastern European visitors advertising ( I think the pandemic changed that traffic). Brazilians show up, but in fewer numbers. Thus, the supply chain has disrupted and OnlyFans and Chaturbate, in addition to FOSTA AND SESTA has minimized the local crop. Hence prices could be up. I guess, my only choice is to keep it in the pants as long as I can.

Move over AI ! So much NI human creativity in this thread out of "nothing" .

I wouldn't mind spending $400 an hr if the escorts on RM were truly hot and provided good experience. While I have met a few guys here and there worth that much, most of them have been disappointing. The hottest RM profiles are usually fake. To be honest the best guys (look-wise and otherwise) I have met were str8/bi guys who advertised on Craigslist back in the day.

With the Asians enjoying the highest median income in the US, and South Asian Indians being the highest median income earners among Asians (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income#By_race_and_ethnicity ), it may be wise for those working guys to lose that dislike sooner than later.

I recall reading a book that I bought from "The Different Light" bookstore in San Francisco's Castro district years ago. The book was dedicated to male butts and anuses. It said you could tell a guy's personality traits by looking at his asshole. If I am to go by that book and this providers pics in the private area of the ad, this gentleman seems like an angry young man 😁

Pure scam. When he saw you were willing to pay $50, he figured he could milk you for more. Good you didn't think with your small head the second time 😄

Increasingly I am seeing women with skin-tight leggings, slacks and jeans on the streets. That is so jarring to my gay eyes. I wish more hot jocks hung around with similar tight clothing.

I remember being very depressed in 2016 when Hillary lost. I did not question the outcome. But any TV show or any movement providing false hope that she could somehow be the president helped ease the pain. The right wing reaction to Trump's loss was similar. But Trump and his cronies (including Tucker for the ratings) stoked it further and caused the Jan 6 attacks and made many people lose faith in our democratic election process. They went too far, but Hillary didn't. Therein lies the difference.

Thank you all for the guidance. As a left-brained person, I am not particularly money-savvy, but know enough to get by. I have been able to maintain a diverse portfolio of investments mostly in ETFs. I also use robot investors like Wealthfront , Betterment etc since I do not know how to pick stocks myself. In my early 50s I am feeling pretty lost in life as I don't know where I am headed next, what kind of support system I will have as I become old and frail etc. Friends from 20s and 30s left me due to political differences that peaked during COVID. Lost my father last year, and Mom is in her last years. This forum has been a good support system .. especially sage advice from the people ahead of me in this journey called life.

Yes, so far I have been doing $500 - $1k a month on providers . Still have my job, and have well above median US savings in retirement accounts ( IRAs and 401K).

I am trying to gauge if at 52 my annual income is enough to hire providers ( $1000 per month or so). Obviously I can't ask fellow forum participants their net worth, but want to ask what percentage of your annual income you spend on hiring providers. As inflation went up I feel like I have been pushed down to a lower income stratum (eg I find decent hotels too expensive now,) and I want to make sure I am not splurging beyond my means.

He is one of those run-of-the-mill scammers. I reported this profile to RM a while back. They took it down then. But looks like he keeps coming back with different profile IDs. He also works with another yngr guy with some baseball related interests listed in the profile. Model type pix, recent profile, min to no reviews, handlers operating from another state are classic signs. Ask for a recent selfie or recent stats, and the response will be something like "it's in the ad" - likely becuz the handler is too lazy to look this up for this specific ad as he is busy to responding to many queries for many ads.

I bet a big percentage of guys chatting with your partner are Asians themselves ! Before Grindr etc there was gay.com chat in the 90s. I experimented on some of those channels by creating profiles with identical physical stats, but different races. Guess which profile attracted most chats? This is not exclusive to gay dating or escorting. Similar experiments have been done by researchers with professional resumes also and the results are similar. Yes, it is a fact of life. We have to accept it and move on. There is no one to blame and it's no one's fault. It took hundreds of thousands of years for humans to look different after we left our common ancestral land in equatorial Africa. But now we are connected and mixing and matching. It will take an equal amount of time for us to look alike or, at least, to see everyone the same way, if we are still around.

This ridiculous ad and the advertiser aside, but I do see escorts in their insta pix in fancy hotels and exotic locations. Since my early 20s, after graduating from a university, I have been slogging at a well paid job, saving for retirement, investing conservatively...but I still can't afford all those things. I think I have got it all wrong.
