I had a somewhat related talk with a counselor today about me being single. It came about as a discussion today about an upcoming birthday party for my sister. I will be the only one out of the generation before me (i.e. my mother and my Uncle), my generation (me, my sibs, and my 1st cousins), and the following generation (my nieces and nephew) to never have been married or had children. I mean I've never even had a significant other to bring to Thanksgiving or to be asked by a significant other to someone else's Thanksgiving. Because of this I always feel out of place a bit-or a lot- in family gatherings. My Mom-is of course my Mom-she still to some extent oversees things-plus she has my sister and sister-in-law to talk to. My sister and brother involved with their spouses, children, and grandchildren. My nephew and nieces involved with their spouses and children. And me part of it all but also on the outside. When I was younger, it didn't bother me so much. It's gotten a lot worse as I've gotten older. The brief discussion I had with the counselor about this is that my childhood thoughts on the matter were that I'd be married and have a family. I haven't gotten over it. It hurts me that I'm single. But to be frank-or Gman-in this case I'm not sure I could sustain an actual relationship at this point. I mean I'm middle-aged and never had a significant other except for about a year to year-and-a-half of a reasonably intense fbud relationship 8 years ago-but I knew almost 100% it wasn't going to turn into more even as much as I liked the guy, and he liked me. I wouldn't consider myself self-partnered because I'm not satisfied with the status quo. And while I'm somewhat involuntarily alone-I'm not an 'incel' because I occasionally do find people to have intimate experiences with. I think most people are really designed to be with someone (but maybe it doesn't have to be with one single one. Maybe for some-successive someones are the key)or a village/community is enough . Aren't there studies that show married heterosexual men due better with wives as they grow older -although also shown that women due better at some point if they aren't married. I wonder what similar studies show about gay men-partnered vs un. Also for some people I'm sure the design is different from the (pardon the expression) "norm" and they don't need a close relationship as much as others do. Or perhaps sometimes the design is fine but due to external circumstances they can't find someone. If I could just learn to be satisfied not being in a committed relationship, I'd be a lot happier. If people are really ok with self-partnering, I should be happy for them for achieving something I don't think I can do.

I get the monthly edition on my Kindle-mainly to drool over the covers. Thank gosh this Kindle is waterproof. I had seen that this cover had been released before. But they also for some reason released it as the current edition. It's too bad he's not on a show. I'd def tune in. I appreciate the info, @SirBillybob

Oh I took it to mean 'contact info' which is present in the ad. Plus it's easier to reference if we have the link.

Just a general service announcement, you can often find an escort's ad by putting their name and the word 'rentmen' or 'rent.men' (no quotation marks) in a search function of a browser. That's how I found this link. https://rentmen.eu/RuffTradeNYC

@BOZO T CLOWN, as my very good friend FF, who is pictured below, used to say, "Droll, very droll!!" I was just "talking" with a fellow member about Alec earlier in the week. It seems I'm vaguely remembering one retirement and one comeback. Were there more? In any case, I hope he and his one-time boyfriend Ryan are doing well. @bigjoey was a long time friend of Alec. But he hasn't logged in for about 6 months. I dont know if that means we have lost another longtime member or not.

I'm glad you have the choice. I'm about to go on Medicare in a few months. And can't afford a Medigap plan. I'm going to have to hope whatever Advantage Plan I pick doesn't screw me over.

I saw the current magazine cover and had a question. Is this anyone particularly famous? Appreciating any help in advance. Thanks.

I wondered about that too. Of the three reviewers, for two of them this was their first review. One of the reviewers, Migis, had reviewed Seattle provider SeaJock back in 2021. So I don't know if that's helpful or not.

The smoking would get to me.

They may very well be the sane tallywacker -probably are I'd guess. But the pictures aren't 100% identical. In the porn star picture doesn't the tallywacker achieve a bit more elevation above the leg and look longer?

Going by his Twitter account, while he doesn't look enormous, he's larger than 4". https://x.com/StetsonNashX/status/1900543522492833981/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1900543522492833981&currentTweetUser=StetsonNashX

What's the listed minimum?

I'm not sure I've ever seen a RM ad before that doesn't list how large a tallywacker the advertiser has.

Not sure if you already know, are interested, or post enough here to matter, but you can add a link to your ad to your message profile here. That way if you post something we can go to your ad from your message. Oh and Rentmen is working for me now.

I never said anything about negotiation in my post above although at times I did. It was more in the way of explaining what exactly I'd be paying for such as hotel, plane tickets, restaurants, and outside bedroom activities, and why I could only afford what I could. Respect goes both ways on the relationship. I tried to make sure-considering that the escort was having to spend time with a stranger he might not have normally spent time with-that the experience was as pleasant as possible. And obviously if the guy couldn't see himself clear for what I could afford, I didn't hound him but thanked him for his time.

I scored 53, and I'll join you. But I'll want a maraschino cherry and an umbrella in the mug.

I've been with Dario several times although it was years ago. He's versatile. I don't remember him being particularly dominant although that's not to say he was a sub in any way. While I topped him, that also doesn't mean I didn't notice his tallywacker. In case @BigKinkyMarcois interested, Dario has a nice uncut hefty tallywacker.

I didn't think we were supposed to post these unless they were already in the ad.

I'm not going to say I never watch porn, but I don't watch it a lot. The main way I knew/know porn stars is if I've seen them advertise. I was wondering whether Cade had had 'work' done or if maybe it was due to on screen makeup and lighting that made him look so different from the pictures in his ads. He had been so handsome in his ads. I'm not saying he isn't attractive now. But it's such a difference.

https://youtu.be/xzcKAPWZr8U?si=G5CzFoY6XpE4mKZp Reese Rideout occurs at 4:48 and Cade Mattox at 10:48, and I didn't recognize either of them.

Actually this is the first one. But thanks for asking.

I know Numbers closed although I'm not sure when. But I was wondering if there were any equivalent places in LA to meet 'working guys.' I don't know why I'm asking as I most likely won't get to LA again. But I was remembering past threads. And many members here spoke of it fondly.

I went back and saw what you were talking about. I'm not sure if Mr. Stanton actually meant 2020 because right after that he said 2020's as if to correct. Also 2020 was the start of Covid Pandemic in the USA. So an interview like this might not have been possible.

That would explain it. But this was only uploaded to YouTube 7 days ago. And in it he refers to another video about porn stars that he did. And that one was uploaded within the last 6 months. Where did you get the 2020 info?

Just as an FYI-at least on my iPhone -the ad doesn't open up to yield a 'Message Me' option. The way to message is to use the rent.men version with the text bubble to the right of the picture.
