An ad appeared on Rentmen for a cute guy yesterday; it has disappeared now; his name started with a C and ended with lopez or lopes and he had an area code 352 number; I messaged him on the RM app and when I asked him where he was, he asked for my ZIP code; when I gave that to him, he gave me the address of a nearby hotel; he also wanted a deposit for one-half of his fee, which I declined.

I thought this was odd, because he told me that the deposit was for his "manager" or something similar; I decided to text him several hours later; he asked me my ZIP code again, and I gave him a different one, and he gave me the address of a hotel in a different area; he again asked for a deposit, and I told him that I was sorry, that I only had cash. His last text to me several hours later was "did you understand me?"

Have others experienced this?

This is a remote farm of scammers, probably out of India.  Taking a page out of Nigerian's scamming old ladies playbook.  They will get progressively more and more aggressive for you to send them a deposit because their agent/manager won't let them see you without.  If they send you images, it's mocked up.  Don't fall for it.  See (feel up) the goods in person before playing.

Did you top or bottom?

Took turns.  Thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Don't know what to tell you.   Wasn't my experience at all.  I got exactly what I wanted from my session and then some.  

I hired him yesterday.  Had amazing time.  Pictures are accurate though he is way better looking in person.  Fantastic body.  Had a great time.  Thoroughly enjoyed myself.  Can only speak for my own experience.  Will see him again soon, probably an overnight.  Nice guy. 

Btw, when I say people throwing themselves at Aleska for sex....not from escorting.  I'm sure he's sleeping with folks way better looking than any of us!  🤣

So you opened this thread about a fake escort profile purely based on your personal "intuition" or do you actually have proof that he's fake? Also, does the fact that you've been member for 21 years make everyone else dumb?!  That's what your response sounds like. "Even if everyone else is right and I'm wrong, I'm right anyways because I've been a member for 21 years."

OK boomer...

 

Is that really necessary?  It's okay to have differences of opinion.  People are just voicing theirs and trying to be helpful here.  Folks here are an incredible wealth of information.  

Image search shows the first are from IG of supermodel Aleska Gavirlovic.  Gets paid for putting on clothes and taking them off.  I'm sure he has people throwing themselves at him for sex.  The second are from IG of Pablo Doblare.  Both RM profiles list as being Mediterranean.  Aleska is Serbian, Pablo is from Spain and is currently in Columbia.  

Ménage à trois are more fun. Have had both for years. Thoroughly enjoy both together!

Ventura and Orange Counties in SoCal have been moved into the most at risk tier which may be a first since mid summer.

The density in LA Co has kept it there for a while, and if numbers don’t shift into a positive direction pretty quick we will probably regress to full lockdown again.

 

Selfish and Ignorant myfreedom-obsessed assholes have dropped another turd into the Holiday Punchbowl. Thanks, Murrica.

Large sections of the country don't even bother to pretend to take any preventive safety precautions. Basically, everything between the two coasts. And they wonder why sparsely populated states like N/S Dakota and Wyoming are topping the charts for highest rate of new cases. People keep telling themselves they live far apart from one another in their wide open spaces and don't interact with a lot of people so what is there to worry about. What's a harmless drink in a bar with friends right?

Even in California, there are lots of pockets where people are not wearing masks. I've seen it in San Diego, Irvine, LA, SF, etc.

I drove thru Berkeley the other day and was surprised at how few of the homeless camped all around the highway ramps had masks. I know for a fact the organizations that help them give them masks. Good size groups standing and sitting around closely together like it was just any day in any normal year. I wonder if people's aversion to getting close to the homeless may be helping them from getting infected and it spreading like a wild fire.

An unparalleled mess.

 

National rejection of science, in favor of capitulation to one sick ego.

 

This is the new American Exceptionalism.

Agent Orange will do everything he can to claim all the credit for whatever vaccine is eventually approved. Like usual and cast blame on anything that goes wrong with it on Biden and everyone else but him. I suspect that is one of the reasons why he is refusing to authorize the transition briefings.

EGO first. A shame the havoc his small hands insecurities is wrecking.

People are kidding themselves thinking that they don't need to worry and betting even if they get sick a vaccine will make them all better. There is no guarantee the virus will not mutate and make the vaccine a lot less effective. This is why the flu vaccine constantly has to change and even then, the vaccine that is chosen is a best scientific guess at the dominant strain of the virus in a given year. The 2017-2018 vaccine wasn't the right strain and resulted in one of the worst flu seasons in a decade. Covid has multiple strains also and this has not been widely reported in the news.

I am addicted to my Ninja Foodi. I use several times a week. Especially the air fryer setting. I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. The pressure cooker setting worked really well too.

wait a minute, you don's miss having sex for free with young men?

 

I know a lot of young men who have money, dad's money and sometimes their own. I do believe that a certain time in life you'd better have your shit together and some money but let's face it young folks now pay a lot more for housing and specially education.

It still happens just not as often because you're not running in the same circles day and night.

Speaking for myself, I didn't know the value of money when I was younger. When you don't have to earn it yourself, you certainly don't appreciate its value. I recall sleeping on bags of coal on a train in China. Thought nothing odd about it at all at the time. Couldn't pay me enough to do that now.

Life experience. Unless you've lived and experienced it, you will not know or appreciate the difference between things. Motel 6, Ramada Inn, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Four Seasons.

Hated red wine for most of my younger days until I was given a glass of wine that I thought tasted so amazing and subtle with no lingering after taste. I gulped down that glass like I was a fish out of water. I was at small party in Korea at one of the country's elite ceramic artist's home. Her work is in the collection of the Met and other world museums. I was asked to carry a package back to the states for a collector. I thought I was just carrying back some trinket. I remember guessing it was worth maybe $500. I delivered the package and the collector thanked me. Laughed when I told him about the wine. He said he would hope I would like the wine. She only serve bottles that are $1000 or more at her intimate parties. I felt so embarrassed and told him she poured me two very full glasses. He said don't be, that package I carried over was worth over $100K. What? ? Should of had another glass before I left.

I was actually very close to composing a post just like this three weeks ago when I turned 40. It hasn't been an easy milestone for me... I'm having a difficult time shaking these feelings of sadness and regret. I almost feel like they're going to be with me now, permanently. I hate it so much.

Why? Our culture is too obsessed with youth and that you're done once you hit X. Do I miss being poor? No Do I miss surviving on hold out for the 10 or $10 Instant Noodle sale at the grocery store? No Do I miss sleeping in hostels? No Do I miss not drinking cheap booze? No Do I miss driving a clunker? No Do I miss eating crappy food because I couldn't afford anything better? No (though I still love Spam). Do I miss not being able to go home with whoever I want? No The only thing I miss from those days are endless days of free time when I had no obligations.

Have it in my will to run a flash drive with DBAN to wipe all my devices.

There's no reason to have your kids change their lasting impression of you if they happen to find your collection. ?

Totally understandable and natural. Covid has made us all a bit more isolated than usual. Find a way to do something for yourself to make yourself happy. Doesn't have to be grand. I remember calling my best friend in high school who I was one of my great true loves. Straight who loved me enough to help me lose my gay virginity with. It was the height of AIDs and having random sex freaked me out. Lived out the dream of most gay guys to have sex with their high school crush. Just wanted to hear his voice. His wife hated my guts and thought I was the devil incarnate and asked him to cut off communications with him for the sake of their kids.

Not just you. I've looked, too. There's one that pops up that shows him with a hairy chest but it's obviously photoshopped. He's worn open-necked shirts before while reporting that shows a fairly smooth chest.

Whoever does his make up is horrible. Some weird shadow lines on his cheek (face....have no idea about his rear). ?

Great location. Sunset Blvd is literally a few steps away. Staff is friendly and more than a few are eye candy. Almost all the rooms are suites. LOVED the bathroom. Tub was more than comfy for two. Shower could fit 4 with room to spare if needed.

Leaving for Hawaii in 2 weeks. The state is fine tuning it's testing program. It's not perfect, but it's a better screen than not doing anything at all. They are very aggressive in enforcing quarantine and arresting those who break it. ? Visitors are the biggest risk of brining the infection to the islands. I think it's great they are encouraging visitors to get free 2nd test post-arrival to make sure you stay safe. Visiting two islands and will be tested each time before arriving on each island. I hope they can improve testing to the point they can get results fast enough to prevent people from getting on planes that are infected to protect everyone traveling.

I suspect most of the world will reach herd immunity at some point, before a reliable vaccine is developed.

The vaccine as such will still be in-stock in the case this nasty virus mutates as it's being seen in Northern Europe.

I believe we will get back to a NEW NORMAL but little by little as cases and deaths drop down organically.

What I'm not sure is if COVID will leave a PERMANENT impact in the lifestyle that we loved so much.

This is not me being a downer about the COVID vaccine, but optimistic that we will not need it.

I also like to be realistic and realize that many things will never be the same, such as WFH (Work From Home).

Less than 50 million infections globally. A long, long way from getting herd immunity. Even with a vaccine, the growing distrust in US of vaccines will lead to a very significant part of the population that will not get the vaccine. People don't realize how big of an impact this will have in slowing down the ability of bringing the virus under control. We will be lucky to roll out and get 50% of the population vaccinated by end of 2021.

Was in SoCal two months ago and was shocked at the significant portion of people not wearing their masks or bothering with social distancing. Also see in parts of San Fran. I get it that we are all suffering from virus fatigue. It was kind of ironic last month during the wild fires. In a blink almost everyone was wearing masks like it was religion. Folks can see the smoke and ash. Virus is invisible. Easier for people to disregard. Until it gets you sick. Almost everyone will at some point know someone personally that has got sick or died from it. I've checked both of those boxes ? already.

Glasses makes everyone look smarter and sexier.

Do you have some reason/evidence that "nomad" is the escort himself?

That's funny. Definitely not. If I was, I'd be asking people to pay me! ?

There's not formula that works for everyone. You have to figure out what you need and want out of the relationship.

My husband is my best friend. 25 years and counting. Can't imagine life without him. We have very different interests and give each other the freedom to be ourselves. It doesn't mean we don't have problems. Anyone who has been in one long enough knows there are bumps along the road. It's figuring out how you navigate it and deciding if you want to stay on the same journey.

3 years ago, I felt the desire to venture into hiring an escort. Be lying if I said I could tell you exactly why then after all these years. Live out some Euro fantasy. I blame Belami for it. ? Months of scouting ads trying to find the ONE. The person I hired was beyond physically perfect. Could be clone of Pavel Novotny. Flew him out to Thailand for a long weekend to get it out of my system. Was so intimidated when I saw him naked for the first time. Felt so conflicted. Didn't end up doing anything at all the whole trip. Could have lived out all my fantasies and yet I didn't when push came to shove. He became a great friend.

Caused all sorts of problems. Went to a relationship therapist. Still working on our relationship each day. Still my best friend.

HAF. Very accommodating. ?? Way better looking that his pictures. Nice guy. Had amazing time.

Jealous you found the wipes! It’s the one hole in my pantry that’s driving me nuts.

Any cleaning product that listed as killing 99.99% of bacteria/viruses is all you need along with some paper towels. Should be listed right on the front of package. Way more eco friendly than the single use disposable wipes which people think they can flush down the toilet and clogs up their plumbing.

I'm having the same problem. I'll give it a try.

By doing this, you are breaking the seal and protection that the mask provides. If air can go out easily to eliminate the fogging issue, you better believe droplets can come in when you breathe in. It sucks. The whole reason why the mask work is because the air you're breathing is being filtered thru the mask material. Both coming in and breathing out. If you're infected, the mask stops you from contaminating the air around you when you breathe or god forbid sneeze. The average person does not need a medical grade mask (N95 or higher grade). If you observe social distancing. a basic fabric face cover is more than sufficient even though it provides just a fraction of the filtration effectiveness of a N95 rate mask Bandannas by their nature leave the bottom of your face exposed to the open air even though it flaps against your face. This is still more than enough protection for the vast majority of us. Unless you're in a confined space with no little air circulation (think waiting rooms, subways, buses, elevators, etc), most of us are not placing ourselves in places where you exposed to a high degree of risk. Even at a grocery store, you're not there for a super long time. Be aware of your surrounding environment and you will be fine with a basic face covering. When you get home, wash your hands and wipe down your phone and keys.

If the outing was a bit stressful, watch some porn to get your mind on more pleasant things. Wash your hands when you're done. You can never wash your hands enough right now.
