I don't think it's a terrible practice. The only real problem comes in where you might delay trying to meet someone because you think, "Well, if they've moved here, I have time to meet them in a month or two," then you find they were only visiting. Gman

I definitely agree that's not right. I'm sorry y'all had that experience. Gman

Ok, now I get it. Thanks. Gman

He advertises as versatile. Gman

He's been in Austin for over a year. But I don't see his ad currently. Gman

Was he into kissing as he doesn't list it? Gman

Their bums. Where else would topping someone cause bleeding? Gman

I have to ask why the notion men can't have sex with each other would even occur to you. Gman

The profile can still show up and still be expired. Gman

Both the Rentmen and RentMasseur links point to someone(s?) currently advertising in Seattle. Gman

I just take XXX as being related to sex or porn not necessarily indicating size. Gman

It's just me. But I think we should stop trying to analyze the relationship, Unicorn's feelings, and the former boyfriend's feelings and motivations. I'm assuming that most of us don't actually know either of them in person. So it's really going to be impossible for us to know everything that happened. What's important now is that Unicorn is having to grieve over a relationship that he thought was going to be for the rest of his life. I'm not sure us hashing it out here in the Message Center at this point is doing anything more than turning a knife in the wound. It's obviously not my decision, and I didn't think of it until just now as I was writing this, but I'll mention it in the slight case @Unicorn didn't think of it either (as it's a decision for him and Daddy/Moderators). Maybe at this point since probably everything has been said, @Unicorn should ask to lock this thread. Gman

I lived in the Dallas area temporarily from 2011-2012 as opposed to when I moved back permanently in 2018. That was the when I really started placing myself on the hook-up apps. At that time people seemed to want to meet 1st more often before deciding whether to hookup. I met several guys at the Starbucks in a trendy area called Uptown. Most of the meetings went nowhere. The one real bright spot though was a young barristo there that I thought was really cute. He was probably 22 or 23. Well I never said anything to him beyond placing my order because I'm old and daddy-ish. And in any case I figured he was straight. Imagine my (happy) surprise when I saw him traipsing around in some tidy-whiteys at the next Dallas TBRU (aka Texas Bear Round-Up) a large 'bear' convention held each spring in Dallas. He had entered the underwear contest. And being a shy guy, I think he needed to be soused to do it. And not only was the boy gay-he liked Daddy-types. I didn't make it there for the contest. But he was in the lobby area outside the contest room afterwards, and the cute boy sat on my lap for a while. Unfortunately he had a Daddy (boyfriend) already. But after that I made a point to introduce myself the next time I was at the Starbucks. We became friends up to a point-he's both shy and is into a lot more kinks than I'll ever be. But we would often go out to get something to eat with some friends of his when Starbucks closed for the night. Later on he broke up with his Daddy (not due to anything I did), and we occasionally had some encounters of a very close kind. When I moved back to Washington State in 2012, I used to look forward to seeing him when I came back to Dallas visiting. Unfortunately for me, he made acquaintance with a real Daddy type-(one who is really into Dad/Son dynamics) and moved out of state to be with him. I'm happy for him as he found someone who was more into the same kinks as he was -diapers/Dad-son/puppy play. But I miss him too. Gman

We definitely wish it too because you are the type of guy that appeals to a lot of us on here. On the other hand, while it's unfortunate for us, I know I, and I'm sure most of the others here on the Message Center, understand. It's not like most of could escort with a client, sight unseen even if we were fortunate enough to be as incredibly good looking as you are-and most of us aren't. But as you seem to be such a nice guy along with being incredibly handsome; you can't really blame us for wishing you could. Gman.
