That's a great idea! I do something similar but use a knob of butter and white miso paste - if you haven't tasted this combo yet, it's awesome. Melt the butter and miso in a pan on low flame and add in the cooked pasta. Pair with protein (I use tuna) and veggies. Quick and easy meal. 

That sounds good too! I'll have to try that.

Hmm, I'm really picky about cinnamon.  As much as I like it, I think it's a disaster when used improperly.  If you're looking to spice up Filipino rice pudding, vanilla would be my first choice.  Ginger and cardamom would probably work too.  Maybe nutmeg?  I wonder if cinnamon would clash with the corn.  If you really like the flavor of coconut, it's really best plain.  I always add vanilla because I love vanilla in everything, but purists like just the coconut flavor.

I like the coconut sticky rice at like Thai restaurants so I'd probably like it just fine sans coconut. I could see it being good with ginger/cardamom though...more of that kind of tingly spice.

@IronMaus is great. I haven't met with him lately just because he hasn't been in Denver recently, but I really enjoyed my time. Truly worth the splurge for a longer session or even an overnight. Mentally, physically and emotionally stimulating.

What's your favorite recipe that is so easy & simple that anyone can pull it off?  Yes, one that even your friend who doesn't know how to boil water could make.

Mine is ginataang mais, Filipino rice pudding with sweet corn.  Ingredients are:

• 1 13.5 oz. can coconut cream
• 1 13.5 oz. can coconut milk
• 2 cans water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup sweet sticky rice (malagkit, in stock at my local Kroger Asian section, could sub in arborio or any really starchy rice)
• 1 13.5 oz. can cream style sweet corn (whole kernel corn will work too if you pulse it in the food processor a few times)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Put coconut cream, coconut milk, water, salt into a pot & bring to boil.  Add rice, lower heat to medium, stir constantly for 10 minutes.  Add corn & sugar, stir constantly for 8 more minutes.  Take off heat, stir in vanilla (or don't if you want just the coconut flavor).  Serve warm or allow to cool & refrigerate (good either way, I prefer it cold).

The only possible way to mess up this recipe is if you neglect to stir it for a while, which will cause the rice to stick to the bottom of the pot.  OK, so maybe a bit too challenging for your can't-boil-water friend (we all have one), but a cinch for anyone else.  If you like rice pudding and coconut, you'll love this dish.  The addition of corn might sound weird, but trust me, it works.

This sounds really good. I'd be tempted to put cinnamon in this to make it more like my grandma's arroz con leche, but not sure if it would be good with the coconut flavors. Have you ever tried that? Thanks for sharing!

I make a goat cheese pasta sauce that is just:

1 4 oz goat cheese log (herbs/garlic is even better!)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4-1/3 cup (basically a ladle) pasta water (wait until about a minute or so before the pasta is ready to come out).

Salt/Pepper/whatever seasonings you like to taste

Basically all you do is put a goat cheese log in a large bowl. I usually take it out of the fridge for a half hour or so before I use it just to keep it softer, but you don't have to. Then drizzle a bit of olive oil, add any seasonings (I do think it helps to add some if you're using a plain goat cheese), then ladle in the hot pasta water. Use a fork to stir it all together. 

Drain the pasta and add the hot pasta and you got yourself a pretty good sauce. I like to add veggies too: Peas, asparagus, butternut squash, broccoli, roasted carrots are all pretty good, but whatever you like. This is a good sauce for a "Pasta primavera" type dish. 

It's been really glitchy lately. I think they're doing a lot of back-end work. I had a problem last week where it was logging me out constantly for no reason. Probably just another glitch that will (hopefully) go away soon.

My older rates showed up on RM recently and I had them remove them - but they were only seen from viewers outside the US. If you use a VPN sometimes you can see rates but they are often older rates set when we were allowed to.

Looks like they aren't on there anymore so you were successful Maus. But actually rates definitely are showing up in the US without a VPN. It's kinda unfortunate for providers that they just did that without telling you all.  Because yeah I would think in some cases they could be older rates or you have different rates for traveling outside of the US then in the US.

For every profile you look at? Thanks. (I see it on a couple, but definitely not many.)

I don't think most US providers have it entered. Rates were pretty common when I travelled through Europe last spring. Maybe a lot of the US providers that have rates were ones that travel occasionally outside of the US. I know the one I screenshotted has done porn and does seem to travel from time to time.

To those who have seen rates on RM postings: Are they appearing in the new, yet-to-be-released, RM version or are you seeing them in the EU version, which I’ve been using. I’m wondering if it’s a new option for escorts under the new one.

I see it in https://app.rent.men/

Rent.Men 7.0 has been really glitchy lately, so my guess this is more of an error than a feature. I think that escorts can post their rates for markets outside of the US but typically Rent.men doesn't post them in the US. for some reason it is now though. There are other errors too. Pictures not loading correctly, reviews showing wrong dates. Just lots of crap basically.

I've definitely met several members and chat with several more off the forum. Definitely would be open to meeting more. If anyone is ever in Denver, feel free to reach out.

Walk on By has long been my favorite. The orchestral melodies and that beautiful circular piano rhythm. The way it matched with Warwick's beautifully clean vocals. Perfection.

Yeah, I've seen it in only a handful of Denver ads. Mostly visitors but a few locals. @Jarrod_Uncut has it on his. Curious if that's a new option or something that's been there a while.

I can see rates for several escorts on RM. I don't know if this will be temporary, but they are definitely there. Here's a screenshot of one escort in Denver. They're accurate with my experiences with him. It's not on everyone's ad, but definitely on several.

Very exciting if this is permanent!

I've met with two guys multiple times and it has always been fine. But definitely stick with your gut. I would be wary of anyone who tries to "upsell" you with another guy. Or if you get any kind of druggy vibes. I also prefer to travel to their hotel room. With all of their cameras and daily check ins, hotels are inherently safer than some rural house or something like that. I'll keep only the cash for the visit on me in case they try to steal your credit card. Also a good idea to keep your phone with a pretty strong password.

But a lot of these are general rules for first visits. I don't really think that meeting with two guys is inherently more dangerous than visiting with one.

Like with all quirky website problems, clear the cache on your browser.

Yeah, that actually worked, thanks!

Not that this is unusual at this point, but Rent.Men keeps logging me out constantly. I'm not sure why. The only thing I can think of is that I didn't renew my membership so I'm back to a basic membership. Is this happening to anyone else or is my computer being weird?

People with greater financial means pressuring poor people into performing any kind of labor is exploitation. This is the kind of behavior that LibsofTikTok and other anti-gay forces use to make us look bad. Why are you helping them? JFC 

I agree that it could be exploitation but it doesn't have to be exploitation. By definition, "the action of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work." To me, it's really about whether or not your treating someone unfairly. 

If you can create a situation where there is mutual and more or less equal benefit on both sides, than that isn't exploitation in my opinion. As long as you are respecting consent and boundaries. But yes it would be exploitive if you are being overly aggressive, or lying to them to get what you want, or trying to get a lot from someone because they are vulnerable.

I'm definitely a grower. Especially for thickness. I definitely fail the toilet roll test when I am hard. I would say it's maybe 2 1/2" soft but it's close to 7" hard and pretty thick

My experience with this hobby is that lateness is almost expected on both sides. As a client, I definitely have had to wait many minutes, even hours for a late provider. And regretfully there have been times, I've been slightly late as well. Once in NYC, I got on the wrong train and ended up being nearly an hour late even though I left an hour early.

The main thing is communication on both sides. Yes, you're in the wrong here because you wasted his time and cost him money by cancelling for only being 15 minutes late. From what I know about escorts, it can be very hit and miss. Your three-hour session could have been his main source of income for the whole week. So he is right to be pissed at your cancellation. 

It's a challenging situation for both sides because for men sex, love and friendship can get really mixed up. But I have really enjoyed some great friendships with escorts. I know when they are done though and no hard feelings. 

I actually met with Kevin and found him to be a pretty great escort. But I did get a sense that he was getting a bit tired of all the flakes and questions. 

I agree that he was being a bit rude, but I also get that he could have been answering so many questions all day he was just kind of over it. 

We all could use a little grace here.

I like that his name is kind of a pun on Comme de Garcons.

I agree with you except for the extrovert bit. I’m not extrovert (far from it!!) and most of my sex worker friends I wouldn’t call extrovert. I know that’s not a scientific sample but anecdotally it seems to me to be valid in my experience. But I do think all are interested in people and in particular how they connect sexually. 

I think introverts could do very well at connecting with people one on one. I'm introverted myself as well and I'll hide in the corner of a large party but will have a great one-on-one conversation with 1-2 people all night. Introverts often are good at listening and making deeper connections. And I agree that many of my favorite escorts are ones a little more introverted. 

I think if you wanted to be a little safer with this you can use credit cards with low credit limits or refillable debit cards when you're out with escorts. Only put in the money that you can truly afford/want to spend but then allow them to use it as they see fit. That way you're only losing $5000 or whatever even if they do have access to your card or are kind of scummy and end up ripping you off. 

I definitely would not give them access to your main debit card or your bank accounts. I think that's trouble even if it's someone you think you can trust.
