My partner (a civilian), although only 51, is struggling with getting older. It's further compounded by the passing of his father and ill health of his mother, and it's causing him to behave irrationally at times. I think we all will wrestle with aging as gay men, and hopefully all will find the way to learn, accept, and adapt to that reality as we all age. I will say this, though: gay men need to be more supportive to each other as a community than I believe we are... IMO....

I always send a thank you to anyone who's checked my private pics on my profile page. I've picked a few clients like that. However, I've never activley sought out a client via RM...

I agree. If they advertise "anything goes" it's reasonable to assume they are barebacking with clients or in their personal lives (or both). I never get offend if someone asks my STI status... A client does have the right to inquire.

I'm curious: why do doors need to be on the inside when traveling and meeting clients? Mine always have been that way, but I'm curious as to why you recommend that design feature.

I agree overnight/multiple hour clients are tough to come by. I've got a couple regulars, but the rest are just one or two hour appointments.

Cuts both ways. On one hand you'd like to be friends/family, but on the other, money for time spent is earned money. Guess it depends on what you have planned...

I've noticed some guys will use the "private" setting if they are beginning to wind down their RentMen ad...

Even if "I'm available" I'd likely need a couple of hours before I could meet a client. I'm likely doing other activities concurrently and not just sitting at home waiting for a client to book me... And I do prefer advanced bookings whenever possible so I can plan for it accordingly .

I have a couple long term clients that I'll chat with via text... But again I have established relationships with them. Otherwise, I wouldn't chat with them via text.

For what it's worth... I've never asked a clients last name... If they want you to know, they'll share it with you

What do you think the going rate should be, depending on the market?

Any idea why I keep getting this error message when posting to the board? "The following error occurred: Your content can not be submitted.

It's great to see more men are like me and not wearing underwear with their jeans.

It still seems pretty slow... Are other guys observing a slow down in clients as well?
