Most likely not. But hope does spring eternal.

Over the years I've been in sporadic contact with Galahad (an alias). As I recall I first saw him on Growlr-might have been Scruff-but more likely Growlr about 13 years ago. I know when because it was during the last time I lived in the Dallas area from 2011 to 2012. He was a bearish type guy-brownish/blond hair with a brownish/blond beard. Galahad was in a relationship, but I think they were open. We met once or twice in person. I was attracted to him, but conversation was definitely not easy. And nothing ever came of it. After I moved back to Washington state, I'd see him online occasionally, and we'd occasionally text. But those instances were few and far between. Since I've been back here starting in 2018-same thing. He seems to go offline for long periods of time. But we started talking the other day. I mentioned getting something to eat. He seemed interested in getting together, but I don't know if he's actually 'interested' in me. For one thing in the intervening years, I've gained a lot more avoirdupois. Last week he mentioned that a bear group has a regular dinner meeting and gave me the info. So I'm going. But I don't really have good luck with these things. For one thing-while crowds don't really intimidate me-I don't usually do well breaking into a new group on my own without friends already there. And yes I know Galahad but only vaguely. I tried an older gay meet-up in Seattle once around 2010. It was a new group starting up. I was the second youngest there. As I recall one guy slept thru the whole meeting. Another guy wasn't sure he was going to like the internet -was cautiously going to try dial-up ( and even in 2010 this was reasonably old-fashioned). Also out of the 7 or so there -most of them seemed to have been married previously. I was most likely the only one who had been a total virgin until age 41 and had to be taught how to kiss by the escort who provided my 1st experience. Aside from age and being gay, I didn't seem to have much in common with them. On top of that Seattle was 35 miles away. So I never went back. A penpal of mine said I should. But I gave him the same reasons I'm giving y'all now. After that I tried the Bear Movie Group -again in Seattle 35 miles away. So that group all of them seemed to know each other beforehand even if only slightly. I was the only unknown. The first movie night was ok-afterwards we went to a 5 Guys to eat and talk. That was nice. But I wasn't always able to go due to work. And it turned out that the only time we went somewhere to talk/eat was that first time. After about 4 times, I stopped going. I figured what was the use. If we never got together to shoot the breeze after a movie, I was never really going to get to know them. As it was I was probably one of the oldest if not the oldest. So again not much in common. The first group I was too young and had been too closeted for most of my life to have much in common with those guys. With the movie group I was too old-but again without a lot of experience, and there was no real chance to get to know them as we all left after the movie was over. Tonight (Wednesday) I was out to eat with family. One of my nieces graduated pre-K today and her grandmother was in town for the event. So I'm sitting next to my Mom. And I mention quietly that I'm going out to dinner again on Thursday. My Mom asks with whom. I told her it was with a group of 'like-minded' people. To her credit she knew immediately what I was talking about. I doubt she knows the term 'bears-and I wasn't going to get into a discussion of gay stereotypes. She seemed glad. She would like me to socialize more. But I've never really had a boyfriend. Even though she'd like me to socialize more, I always wonder how she'd react to me being in an actual relationship-or the rest of the family too for that matter. But it most likely won't happen. Still I do wonder. In conclusion I'm still not sure how I feel about going due to my past experiences. Maybe it will be just right. But we'll see.

I'm really enjoying this British whodunnit. My 90 year old Mom and I watched the first three episodes a week or so ago. And I was back at her place tonight-where we watched episode 4. I'm a bit po-ed though. IMDb shows that all 6 episodes are out. But that was from the original showing in the UK. So I was trying to get to episode 5/6. But I didn't realize that they hadn't dropped all of the episodes at once here in the US of A. In fact episode 4 only dropped this evening. I was really tired awhile back when we watched episodes 1 - 3 in one sitting. And I didn't even notice that those were the only ones available. I'm watching thru a Britbox add on to Amazon's Prime Video. I don't know whether a straight (err I mean "go gaily forward") Britbox stand alone subscription would have all the episodes right now. One of the characters tonight referred to himself and his lady-love as 'bellends' as they had both behaved badly in the relationship My Mom doesn't hear well- has even more problems understanding English accents-and I doubt she read the subtitle. I decided not to enlighten her to its meaning in case she actually did hear/see it. 😉😉

I've never met him, but he's been advertising in Dallas since at least 2018.

He doesn't list kissing. Now @Pd1_jap-you know normally I'd be the last one to want you to "kiss AND tell"-but I'm ok with only asking about the kissing. Does he? 🤔🤔

If you could somehow fit in an excursion to Vancouver Island and see Victoria the capital city, that would be great thing to do!! There's a place called Butchart Gardens. It should be in full bloom now. They quarried the land. And later on ended up making the large excavations into gardens.

It's pretty dang good enough for me-unless he really does have a folder at home full of papers with pre-printed dates. After all you can make a mock up of a newspaper too. I think that's only a little less likely than him having a folder of future dates.

Actually even less than semi. I took a Motor City Company Supreme Detroit Pizza and doctored it up with some purple onions, tasteless Roma tomato slices, olives, and extra mozzarella-might have been Parmesan but I forget . This is a pretty good brand for a frozen pizza. I used to do the same thing with Digiorno's Crispy Deep Dish Pan Pizza. But they quit making it about a year and a half ago and substituted a similar but inferior Detroit style pizza.

It says he's from Cuba. So the Miami weather may feel like home to him. Of course that's no indication of whether he actually likes heat and humidity. I grew up in Texas and hate humidity-but I did grow up in the less humid part of Texas.

If I'm correct, he just changed his name and moved to Florida. Jeannz - Male Escort, Gay massage - South Miami Heights | Rent.Men RENT.MEN Jeannz Gay Escort in South Miami Heights, Florida, available for Gay Escorting,Modeling,Erotic Massage. |...

So we're thinking the ad is a fake?🤨

He's had a profile since 2021 with no reviews. Considering how handsome he is, that definitely seems like a red flag of some kind.

I'm not familiar with Lenso or how to add extensions to Chrome on my iPhone.

That's interesting. I remember either from here or another site that he didn't have the best reputation. It's been such a long time that I can't remember if it was threatening someone, being out of shape, or just not fulfilling things he had said he would do.

As I think I mentioned once before on this thread-if not-too long to go into now -Dean Monroe once refused a tip from me after I felt bad for acting so nervous with him. PS: that's my Superman t-shirt although he looks much better in it than I ever did.

I wonder if you would have had a better time with Andrew. The first time I met Andrew I think it was either right before he started going out with Sean, or soon after they started going together. Andrew was really nice. We were doing a few non-consecutive nights as it was during the Grabby's in Chicago. I wasn't going to the Grabby's. I was there for work-related business. I flew into Ohare from Tacoma, and he picked me up in his truck. And we went to the hotel we were staying at. So we had that one night. I think thr next night was the Grabby's. He was going to it and had booked a hotel for himself for it. We got together again the day after for a few days. I met with Andrew once or twice after that. The guy was talented. He could pretty much cum on command. I remember once while topping him he asked me if it was okay if he could cum at that point. I do miss Andrew. The last time I saw him was in 2012 in Dallas. I was just out of work/career. So I couldn't afford a regular meeting. But I asked him out to lunch, and he accepted. We went to an Olive Garden in Addison (northern Dallas suburb).

Just as a point of info if anyone doesn't know, on rentmen.eu you have to be logged in to see the position listed. It doesn't require a paid membership-just being signed up to the site. On rent.men apparently the position is listed whether you are signed in or not. But the contact methods may change depending on whether you are signed in or not. And sometimes I think the contact methods may have different options between rentmen.eu and rent.men.

I'm not sure, but I think at one point he had at least one fairly bad review in Las Vegas. But I can't remember the particulars. Not to mention that it seems very suspicious to me that a guy with that kind of physique and advertising since 2016 has no reviews at all!!!

Should we assume 'vad in full' refers to vaccination?

As you can see, I try. But it fizzles out against the laughably antiquated Google Image Search algorithm. 😢

I think you inadvertently messed up the link. Here is the correct one. Pedrinhoguru - Pornstar Performer, Rentboy, Gay Massage in Paris, France | RentMen RENTMEN.EU Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in Paris, France - Pedrinhoguru: IN PARIS

We've seen over time how it's not as helpful. Today I took a screenshot of what I think is a scammer. I uploaded the picture tonight Dropbox and then loaded the picture onto my Chrome app on my phone. The guy is wearing glasses. The image search coned down on the glasses and only wanted to look for them. I tried to increase the area to the entire head and 'got nothing.'

Why is that I wonder? Is he paying extra to show up like that?
