Yeah, they don't look like the same person to me. Possibly it could be his friend he worked out with in that one SM on the bottom right. But I don't think the main SM Nico and the Nico on RM are the same guy. Thanks for sharing the pics as well.

Hmm...to me they look like they have pretty different skin tones. The SM guy looks Latin and the RM guy looks more white. If you look on twitter, the first pic the guy has an outie belly button. But the RM guy definitely has an innie belly button.

A new guy popped up in Denver. He has a pretty extensive social media posted on his ad. The only problem is they don't really look like the same guy at all. I suppose it could be partially the haircut but I think there are a lot more differences. What do you think? https://app.rent.men/Nikowynn vs https://linktr.ee/nikowynn

The app has some bugs from time to time. I don't think it's a credential thing. It just sometimes has these functionality errors. They really need @RadioRob running the site.

I got my vaccine today. Very easy though in Denver it's only available at the department of public health at a clinic or drive-through clinic. Fortunately, my doctor actually informed me of the availability since I asked about it during my last Prep appointment. It sounds like Colorado is informing and getting vaccines to as many people who are on Prep as possible, which is definitely a good call. Really no side-effects at all. Not even really sore. So glad to have it!

Lots of good options in Denver though it seems like a few regulars are currently out of town: https://app.rent.men/ErikShelly https://app.rent.men/MountainManLink https://app.rent.men/SeanJohnson https://app.rent.men/MildToWildCMT https://app.rent.men/JustjakeNY

Interesting... I'm not sure if this fully answers your question but actually in other countries besides the U.S. Rent.men does publish the rates. My guess is that a few escorts do publish them on their if they have travelled to another country or something. I was in Europe in May and most published their rates right on there. The filter probably gets those that have that rate on there. I just did it in Denver though and it only filtered a handful of guys, one of which had just been on a European trip so I think it might be that.

I really do not want to get into a political discussion on the finance forum. But would just like to point out that Americans saying the U.S. is on the wrong track could have various causes beyond a pure gauge of the economy. For example, many people surely think the country is on the "wrong track" after the Supreme Court overruling Roe V Wade. Certainly the economy contributes to those numbers but there are certainly other factors as well.

We may be in a technical recession but let's put things in perspective: GDP decreased by .2 percent in the 2nd quarter followed by a .4 in the first. Overall a .6 percent GDP decline is significant but so far a fairly mild recession. The great recession of 2008-2009 saw GDP fall nearly 3 percent and it fell more than 9 percent in the pandemic. There were a few small GDP declines in 2010 and 2014 that are more in line with what we're experiencing now. Though it is concerning that it's now been two quarters of declines. Other aspects of the economy are doing quite strongly. The unemployment rate is at 3.6 percent nationally...that is historically very low. And we're still seeing strong job growth with 372,000 jobs added in June. Wages are also up 5.1% for the year. Of course all of this strong employment picture contributes to higher inflation as well as the many international crises (war in Ukraine, China's COVID lockdowns, continued shipping problems) causing higher inflation. This is exactly why the Fed is raising rates. And gasoline prices are down .78 cents a gallon from their highs just a month ago...that in itself is a big contributor to inflation. We're also truly starting to see shipping get back to normal and many stores are now offering huge discounts after realizing they overstocked thinking shipping delays would continue. I was just at Target the other day and got clothing and home goods at huge discounts. Overall, while the GDP decline is troubling, until we see that affecting employment, I don't think we should freak out. Inflation really may be turning a corner as well and we could be on our way to that "goldilocks" economy like we had in the late 90s where unemployment was low and inflation was moderate.

My standard is an extra $20 kind of regardless of the price of service. Sometimes $50 if it's like an overnight. But no more than that.

Thanks for sharing this!

Got an appointment scheduled for tomorrow. Quicker than I was expecting. Glad to get it done.

Just signed up to get the vaccine here in Denver. They do seem to be trickling through the public health services. I have a few friends who've been able to get it already. I'm on a waitlist apparently. They are only giving out the vaccine at a clinic every Wednesday. It doesn't look like I'll get it this Wednesday but maybe next. Curious any side effects for those who've taken it? COVID shots kinda kicked my butt but the Jynneos one doesn't seem to have major side effects. Is that right?

TMZ has some information on Alex Wollet: https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/22/clark-kent-lookalike-january-hearing-identified-alex-wollet-superman/ They have a picture of him without glasses and honestly he looks better with them. Definitely my type! Sexy man!

I really like this Thai noodle stir fry with a peanut sauce: https://www.food.com/recipe/thai-noodles-with-spicy-peanut-sauce-99918 I make it easier by just buying some pre-cooked Asian noodles (tofu noodles work really well actually). I made it once with linguini and felt it didn't take the sauce as well.

Yeah I think there are a few sus pics here. I think I'm avoiding this guy.

Is it just me or is there something weird about this guy's pics? Like bad photoshop or something. https://app.rent.men/Finnjock

Very sad that he passed. So young and seemed like a humble, cool guy. Really sad that so many of these gay porn talents die so young.

I am not sure if this is a brand new thing or I am just noticing it. But it appears that you can now delete reviews on Rent.Men after you posted them. I didn't think you could do that before. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just way behind on this feature? I already decided to delete two reviews from guys early on that I didn't really like but felt "pressure" to right a review for.

I kind of always assume that anyone on a hook-up site is there to hook up, not to hire/be hired. To me, the clarification should be more on the sex worker's end instead of the client's end especially if he is the one who initiates the conversation. Like if he DMs you on grindr, he should be pretty forthright that he is doing so as a sex worker not just to hook up. So I think you did make a mistake bringing up his SW stuff that you knew about from outside the hookup app.

Pretty strong jobs report this week. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/08/business/economy/wages-jobs-fed-rates.html Definitely not looking like a recession yet, but with inflation still high the Fed will surely keep raising rates at a fast clip.

Possibly. I'm there for a wedding so I know I'm going to be tied up on some nights, but yeah we might be able to do that. Message me if you want and we'll connect.

OOh I like using biscoff cookies. I think that would make a flavorful crust.

This happened to me one time too. I accidentally gave the provider a $20 instead of a $50 so was $30 short. I felt so bad and made it up to him on Venmo. I've actually gotten in the habit now of keeping the money in a separate pocket completely out of my wallet so I don't mix up my wallet money with my provider money.

I live in Denver, but I'm weirdly going to NYC next week so maybe I'll see if I can find it. It might be at specialty stores here too.
