You weren't asking me. But I hope you don't mind me offering a suggestion or two. If your discretionary funds are limited, I think I would try to, as much as possible, narrow your list to well-known guys with good reviews. Then from that list, try @MikeBiDude's approach, if you like. I occasionally met with guys who exclusively advertised as tops. But it was usually for either a weekend or an overnight at the least. On the other hand, I don't know if I could recommend it. In many cases I probably shouldn't have asked. There may have been a few that worked out ok for me. Kissing is another thing. If I were really attracted to a guy, I'd contact him and ask about kissing. There was one guy I met in Florida -he hasn't advertised in years-and was only visiting Florida at the time -who didn't list kissing. But who was an incredible kisser. I asked him why he didn't list it. He said something about he didn't think that many people would be interested. On the other hand, I think more often than not -not advertising kissing (even if in conversation they said they would ) turned out to be more accurate. So I guess I'm saying that while @MikeBiDude's approach seems to work for him, it probably only occasionally worked for me. And if I had limited discretionary funds, I'd probably go more for well-reviewed guys where you have a better idea of what they are into. Gman

Well you do mention language barrier. But then the question of the texts. If they were composed well, was there really a language barrier? Or could someone else have been texting for him because of his problems with language? Or as someone mentioned, could he have confused you with someone else? Gman

It seems to me to be a bit of a scam. He wasn't comfortable with what you wanted. But didn't tell you because he didn't want to lose a client. The only proviso where I would think it wouldn't be a scam is if he thought he could do it until the time came. Gman

We must have read two different posts. Gman

Generic Cialis is still really expensive. I think it was $114 for thirty 5 mg tablets. I only used Cialis once. I didn't have anything planned. But wanted to see about the erection. Nothing happened. And that was back when I achieved erections much easier than I do now. If I'm remembering what my urologist said, Cialis lasts longer but is weaker in it's effect than Viagra. But I've had times when Viagra hasn't worked either. I really like the dissolvable form or Levitra. It's called Staxyn. Aside from the difficulty getting it out of the foil, it's really easy to take as you just let it dissolve on your tongue. Gman

They aren't antacids, so they don't work immediately. They stop/greatly reduce stomach acid production when taken on a routine basis. It's possible that taken the day before or at the same time as Viagra or Cialis they might lessen stomach acid enough for the next day, but you'd have to figure when best to time it. Gman

An update on pricing as generic Viagra has really come down in price. I usually take 100 mg at a time. Using the GoodRx app I could get the equivalent (6 tablets) of [uSER=10623]@MassageGuy[/uSER]'s generic Revatio for $12.50. And the equivalent of @gregkidman (= 18 tablets) for 21.07. Just recently I priced things out in my area on GoodRx using generic Revatio (which only comes in 20 mg strength) vs generic Viagra (again looking at the 100 mg generic Viagra and figuring it takes 5 tablets of the 20 mg generic Revatio to equal that), the generic Viagra was cheaper. I realize not everyone uses 100 mg of Viagra, and I didn't compare for other dosages. Gman

I think I heard he was straight. I'd be surprised if y'all couldn't find some equally hot gay guy or two. Gman

I'm one of those. It matters to me. I prefer to be with gay males-or bi with a strong preference toward the gay side. I know they won't be attracted to me. Still I find the-camaraderie-knowing that even if they aren't attracted to me, we probably have other attractions in common. Plus I don't need the fantasy that a straight guy has gone gay just for me. As for Vin-I thought years ago I had heard of a wife and maybe a daughter. But maybe that was for someone else, and I'm conflating that guy with Vin. Gman

I thought that was how he used to advertise. But even if he did and doesn't now, or if I'm totally mistaken, the second part of my declaration still stands. Gman

While I don't think it was your intention, for me at least, you've just damned him with faint praise. Gman

We had an email conversation years ago. He was very friendly throughout even though he knew I had no intention of ever hiring him as I'm not into straight tops ( well really any type of tops-straight or not). Gman

There's a lot of info from years past. The take-away message was STAY AWAY!! Gman

I always lusted after pictures of Andrew too. Picture 21 is def one of his old ones. You have a good eye, @big-n-tall. I'm not sure I would have picked up on it immediately. But with you leading me into the topic, I know I recognize some pictures. Andrew was always athletic (very leanly muscled), but he appears to have put on some bulkier muscle. Gman

Did you read about the hair in another article because that's not what this one says? Gman

But he is only advertising as a top. ??? Gman

I'd say these are all old pictures. I'd ask for something showing a date. Gman

He has face pictures on his ad. Gman

With his current pictures, it looks like he's put on some muscle. Gman

Forgive me. I wasn't quite sure if you were referring to being a porn star, being incredibly handsome, having a large tallywacker, or a combination of some/all of those? And while I don't think I'd want to be a porn star, I wouldn't mind the other three. Of course if I had the other three, maybe I wouldn't mind being a porn star. ? Gman

Frederik Eklund seems to be doing ok too. http://www.fleshandboners.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Fredrik-Eklund-aka-Tag-Eriksson-2.jpg It must be nice to be incredibly handsome and hung. ? Gman

This guy would have to start advertising right after I quit hiring. Anyone have anything juicy to say? After all you know what they say, "Those who can't, live vicariously through those who can (and those who can't cry a lot too)." https://rent.men/MaxStevens Gman

It's interesting. Whenever I go to Rentmen-not just this time, the ad "flashes" on my screen quickly and then my screen goes to the generic permission page where you have to click the box that you accept the conditions. Then after I accept, the ads appear again. After clicking on your link and watching the "flash" multiple times, I can see where it says "ID Verified". When I click the box for the acceptance of the conditions and go back to the ad, the "ID Verified is gone.? Gman

No it wasn't that website. This would have been as recently as February of last year. Gman

A 'friend' of mine that I've lost touch with knew some kind of website/online magazine that listed popular secluded areas in major cities where one might go to "make-out". I've looked and can't seem to find it. Does anyone know about it? (We used it to find a few make-out places in Seattle before I left. Our two favorite places were a parking lot a bit S of Shilshole Marina and a park somewhere around 45th or 50th -W of I-5 and fairly near the Woodforest Zoo.?) Gman
