The green background is oddly distracting, but I like the trade look.

Not even just referring to client/escort interactions (though it definitely present in it as well). But just in general among the gay scene. I’ve read articles about it, but I want to bring it up here because I think some of it seems to be more particular to the gay/hookup scene culture. majority of this Behavior tends to happen around that.
 
I’m also not just talking about random Timewasters or casual chat conversations (I have occasionally been guilty for not responding to messages on chats/email). I’m talking about people where there has been a fair amount of chat between. Like where you’ve actually met in person.
Since when did men become such B*****s? Many don’t want to communicate. I understand texting and technology can get overwhelming, and I can usually tell the difference between someone who’s just busy, or if a chat just naturally fades. Versus someone just flat out blowing off for no reason. 
 
I think the straw that might affect my continuity in the business, is that type of behavior. Even when it’s not coming from clients directly, I don’t like having to work with people who don’t feel they have a moral responsibility to communicate their thoughts and feelings. 
 
I also wonder if a lot of this has to do with race. I know the “race card” is a sensitive topic, but as a gay person of color, I feel like some people do it out of spite or fear (and to be fair, some of it even comes from other people of color) Afraid to communicate, afraid to disagree, afraid of anything that “might” elicit a conflict. So they just don’t respond. I see it all the time. Meanwhile, they’ll happily chat and hash it out with their White friends like it’s nothing. As of now, I’ve had at least 5-6 people off the top of my head within the last 30 days, who has completely fell off the map and stopped responding to me for no reason. And everything seemed to be fine beforehand. 

Might be related to the same on Grindr.
I noticed this behavior of sudden disappearance on Grindr. I've had multiple conversations with young men who engage in lengthy conversation and claim to be very interested in meeting only to disappear never to be heard from an hour into the conversation. 
It's a strange phenomenon

Planes and airports, but not because of COVID specifically. I've caught other bugs on flights that ruined vacations.
Medical offices as required.

Unicorn has been anti-mask during most of the pandemic.  Not a surprise that he continues to be so now.  No doubt he started this thread with the purpose of stirring things up so he could act shocked and push his anti-mask agenda.  Some people seem to think COVID is in the rearview mirror.  Not true.  Our weekly COVID numbers were released yesterday in Michigan.  Over 1000  COVID hospitalizations currently in the state and 158 COVID-related deaths in the last week.   Clearly we still have a COVID problem.

absolutely. i already got 5 covid shots but with type 1 diabetes, i try to stay as safe as possible. if im going into a crowded place (like a greyhound bus or amtrak train) I ALWAYS wear a mask...
here's what i look like in it. 
Also goggles and faceshield too so nothing can get into my eyes. 

Yes, I still wear one when I go to most indoor locations.  Not so much for myself, but because there are others who are more susceptible to catching a bad case of covid compared to me.  

I am!! On public transit in NYC, many still do and I fully intend to keep on.  It seems an excellent way to avoid wintertime respiratory miseries of many kinds.

FWIW, there is currently a scammer in SoCal using his pics on Grindr setting up (fake) group sex gatherings that require him to email you details including a link to "set up an account" to RSVP the gathering and "reserve a spot."  Oh, and a $1 "registration fee."
Needles to say I did not click the link or offer any personal info and I was able to report the account before he blocked me when he realized I was on to him.
The email he sent also included more pics of Alexander Kristov as well as a video of his (huge) penis.
