Don't forget male nurses. I was in the ER a few months ago which led to surgery, and there was a small parade of nurses in and out of my room and as part of the surgical team. Three of them were young, tan, gym-bodied guys with thick arms that I couldn't keep my eyes off of. I don't remember saying anything flirty, just that I eyed them like slabs of sexual meat. (They weren't interested in return. But I had a hot dream later about one of them.)

Looks like there's info here from last month, and positive:

No punishment for that but there are a few uptight forum folk who will zing you for non-pc humor. [but just between us - Nobody likes them! :p]

So they won't like it when I say I stopped hiring providers in Moscow. They always finished too soon and it felt like they were russian through everything. [OK, that's the last one, promise.]

I see we have another aspiring comedian on the forum! Welcome. [Tho I must say I've used the "Cleopatra isn't the only queen of de-nile" joke several times myself!! ]

I promise to get new material, then. Have you had sex with Brazilians? It's amazon. [At what point do we get banned for bad puns?]

how can it be against the law to "out" someone for something they are doing? improper... depends on the situation. immoral...maybe. unlawful? i cant see how.

You can't always control the situation. Remember Ty Fox? As I recall, he had a job as a school PE teacher. Someone spotted him on the cover of a tape in an adult video store, and he lost his job. That could/would still happen today, I think.

OTOH, it didn't hurt Carlo Masi as he was teaching at a university and getting his PhD in math. Situations vary.

Same. No show. Flaky.

I do have to wonder how many homophobes and pranksters set up RM profiles, eagerly text about meetings & what you'll do together, etc, and then laugh with their buds about how they faked out another fag. Even if it costs them a little money.

I think I would have liked it better if Brodie had been more disinterested and aloof throughout. ?

He even keeps his enjoyment of sex a closely guarded secret.

So, can RM start listing providers' rates in terms of how many Arby's gift cards they want per hour? (And do they want curly cheese fries with that?)

He was joking.... @Gadfly22 is notorious for fantastic sharp wit around here.....but I know you're new around here!......no worries!!

Oh, now I get it--thanks. Well, when you're having feelings of de-nile, you just naturally seek out Egyptians, whatever they're selling.

Egyptian pizza? :eek:Yuck! What ever made you want to go in there in the first place?

Italian pizza and sub sandwiches. Shop owned and run by Egyptians.

I'd never heard of postimage before, and it's nice they don't require an account or login (though it's a little confusing that their URL has an "s" on the end, and their official name doesn't). Thx.

About 20 years old dude working in my local chipotle. Thinking about giving him a note with my email. Has anyone dared to make such adventures?

I thought this would never happen to me, but it just did, only role reversal: I'm mid-50s, and a 20ish guy (Egyptian, and very handsome) working in a local pizza shop that I frequent hit on me. 1st time I thought I was imagining it, 2nd time it was beyond doubt, but the rub is it's family-owned and a small space, and I couldn't think of any way to flirt back with him without his uncles, brothers, cousins, etc all hearing every word and seeing everything (and they all seem pretty str8, so I wasn't expecting a sympathetic crowd--I guess I feared being thrown out by them if I was too obvious, and that he'd get in trouble too).

Well, damn, I kept going back after that, but they rotate between a few shops they own, so didn't see him again for awhile, and now he's just polite and professional again. Not sure what the moral is, except that if there's chemistry, act on it while you can, and always be more prepared than I was.

And the ad is gone. Funny it took me months to find this site, but providers are all over it.

I'm somewhere between your options: I want the focus on my needs, but I want the provider to enjoy himself too, and I wouldn't ignore his needs. Maybe it's better to say I want to set the agenda.

The reviewers themselves look suspicious to me, such as https://rent.men/Bottommanpk, who joined RM in Aug 2019 and had 3 reviews in Sept, 4 in Oct (in the same week), and 6 in Nov, with 1 so far in Dec. Just a little hard to believe.

Nope. Nothing in the law prevents police from misrepresenting who they are, or even outright lying.

I had a rude awakening to this reality many years ago. Friend from college became a detective. We reconnected after a decade, talked about our jobs, I asked about his, he told me about busting a drug dealer by bringing the dealer's wife in for questioning and telling her they'd been monitoring the dealer, and he'd been having an affair. Would she like to testify against him? She was furious and gave them testimony right there. But, he told me, they invented the affair. I was horrified, but he said it was business as usual. I'm not anti-police, but I really have an ethical problem with that and still do. (Yes, we're still friends.)

You mention you rent. Have you brought the problem to the landlord?

Yes, I told my landlords, who are the best landlords possible in most ways, including maintenance issues, but they view the problem as "just buy traps," and that's all. But they have a lot more pressing issues with a leaky roof and leaky basement, so I understand them making it a low priority.

Maybe visit the local shelter and adopt a killer cat (landlord permission).

 

Chemical, odor and audio repellents don’t work.

Here’s a website with some good advice:

http://www.attic-rat.com/repellent.html

Very helpful site--thanks! If they actually just stayed in the attic, which maybe they're doing, I'd be fine. This is an old house with too many points of entry for them to ever get my landlord to block them all. I hoped his cat would be eating them, but it's apparently too old and lazy, and I'm allergic to cats, so I wouldn't get one myself. But it appears I've baited my traps correctly (and I have 3 in the kitchen, so got the location right, if they do come looking for a snack.)

I had no idea such forums existed--thx.

A few months ago I saw a rat in my apartment as it crept along my walls, going room to room methodically, like a trained scout. I did nothing but monitor its progress: I know from long-ago experience I can't catch and kill the things, so there was just no point.

But after that, I tried to make my apartment rat-unfriendly by putting all the food in my kitchen cabinets in sealed containers, buying a kitchen trash can with a lockable top, and putting out 6 rat traps baited with a mixture of almond butter + sugar. Since then, no rat spotted, no traps sprung (or bait eaten/stolen), and no rat droppings.

I kinda feel like it's too good to be true--did it really scout me and consider me not a good home/food source? (I rent the 3rd floor of a house.) Or are rats still here, ignoring my traps and...well, not eating my food, but maybe nesting somewhere? I thought once they moved in, they never moved out, so I'd appreciate advice/perspective on the situation from folks with experience. Thanks.

That was a different list (albeit there's some crossover) pertaining to my anticipated November debauchery. This is for December. (Thank you, Santa! )

OK, if you score with every guy on the list AND need a new list each month, then I feel justified in envy and really kinda hating you.

Spanish Gypsy Just say No!

 

Beware the Kansas City Roller! November 29, 2019: A day that will live in infamy. Pvt for details

So is Spanish Gypsy = "Kansas City Roller," or is the latter a different provider? I couldn't find that name on RM.

PS. Either way, sorry you had a bad experience.

What the tiger says at the end:

His ad, like some others, says "I only book same-day appointments." So, what happens if he's not free today but is tomorrow? Does he (& providers like him) give you a flat "no," or do they say when they're free? I'm actually not sure what the advantage to them is of "same day only," especially given how many clients travel and want to book ahead.
