Comcast’s tiered services pricing structure is less complex than this guy’s.

I’ve had the safe/bb field randomly disappear and reappear in the past and I always use the rent.men domain.

I remember as a young teenager watching Kurt Thomas, Bart Conner and Mitch Gaylord at the Olympics. Their athleticism was incredible. RIP Kurt. Seeing the “before and after” pictures of Kurt and Mitch reminded me of when I reconnected with elementary and high school friends on Facebook. In my mind we were still the teenagers I remembered. However, I realized we weren’t while looking through their pictures, thinking it was their parents then realizing it was them. To quote Truvy in Steel Magnolias, “Time marches on and eventually you realize it’s marchin’ across your face.”

My friends call that a “shovel buddy.” A true shovel buddy will not only dispose of your porn, sex toys, and lube, but also clear your internet browsing history, cookies, and any compromising/incriminating/inappropriate pics or videos on your computer.

This was one of my points in my first post. Would my exchange with the provider who was above my price point and required a deposit land me on the wall of shame? Who makes that decision? How many times have we heard about the time wasters from providers on this board? I’ve had conversations with my regular providers, not about specific clients, but the nature of the business, and how many texts/calls/emails they field in relation to actual meetings. I’m sure it’s frustrating, but as you pointed out, it’s a high touch, customer centric business.

Your original post didn’t say attaching this feature to RM. It sounded like a separate forum where RM usernames would be published. Regardless, what would be the vetting process? Doesn’t RM reject reviews on providers if the initial contact wasn’t made through their site? Would the same hold true for client reviews? I’m fine with the information I already shared on my RM profile, since I voluntarily provided it. What I’m not fine with is publishing first names or partial phone numbers which aren’t part of my profile. To be clear, I’m just as opposed to the bullshit providers deal with as you. I’m also opposed to compromising anyone’s personal information beyond what is already public. To suggest anyone deserves malice because they disagree with you is simply childish.

With all due respect, let’s not get caught up in semantics. I doubt @pdxleo intended that as a reflection on his provider or quality of experience, just that it was a cheaper price than usual. Leo obviously has a good relationship with this provider and they have a good vibe together. Whether he pays the regular or discounted price in the future is up to the two of them. I also doubt clients who would “low-ball” a provider during this time needed Leo’s post to give them the idea. Ultimately, it takes two to tango and it was the provider who made the offer.

Not a good idea. Who would be monitoring it for accuracy? What if a provider had an issue with a potential client because the meet never took place or they didn’t agree on a donation? I had an exchange once with a provider about meeting and the donation was way more than expected and he wanted a deposit. I explained it was above my range, I don’t do deposits and thanked him for his time. Does that put me on the blacklist? At least with RM they have some sort of vetting process for leaving a review. It may not be perfect, but it’s something. Even if there was a stringent review process, other than their screen name, what would be the purpose of publishing the client’s personal information? So the villagers can gather with their torches and pitchforks or people can harass the client with phone calls and texts? As @harey said in an earlier post, providers voluntarily post their information so they can be contacted, and I’m sure it’s a virtual number, not their personal number. I’ve seen multiple posts on this board discussing when/if a provider should tell a client his real name or additional personal information and every response has discouraged asking those types of questions out of respect to the provider’s privacy. I would expect the same in return.

Yes, Charlie died while they were having sex and she was afraid she’d kill Miles.

We’re the HARDy Boys! ?

Don’t know if he’s a fraud, but the guy in the photos is stunning! Edit: The Fraud-O-Meter is pinging now. The actual guy in the pics on Instagram just celebrated his birthday on May 16th, which makes him a Taurus. Whoever set up the RM profile lists his zodiac as Leo, which would be between July 23rd and August 22nd. ? ?

Wish I had some info for you, other than wanting to run my hands across his abs. Holy washboard, Batman!

My comment was based on the assumption that multiple accounts would be maintained - a joint account for household expenses, one for savings, and individual personal accounts for discretionary spending. My point is that I wouldn’t expect my partner, who may be making substantially less than me, to contribute an equal amount to the household expenses, especially if we’re living at a standard above his means. If I’m earning 65% of the household income, I would expect to contribute at least that percentage of the household expenses. I’m not against the idea of what’s mine is yours, what’s yours is mine and it becomes ours, but there’s something to be said to having a few dollars of your own in your own name.

My only issue with this principle is if there’s a large income disparity between the individuals. If I’m making a decent six-figure salary and my spouse makes substantially less, it’s not fair for him to contribute 50% of expenses. We may be living a lifestyle that’s possible because of my salary and well above his means, but there has to be a clear understanding of his financial responsibilities, whether it be a reduced percentage of expenses or him covering a component of the expenses, like food or utility payments. And that arrangement should never be held over someone’s head as leverage or inadequacy.

You mean like these? The latest and greatest from A4A. Notice the location and distance. I’m outside of Philly. A good 90% of the scam messages are either 5,186 or 5,226 miles from me. Either the scammers are all centrally located or there’s some foreign land whose population is all gay men. Neither of those locations is anywhere near that far. Plus, the first one has Maryland as the state and a California county listed. The only thing worse than a scammer is a lazy scammer.

Nope. I’m with you about Grindr. I’ve pretty much given up on that app. Nothing but a bunch of pic collectors and game players. I love getting messages from guys with no personal info or a pic whose first message is “Pic?” And I’m not one of these “no pic no chat” guys who goes ballistic if a guy doesn’t have a profile pic. It’s just as easy to post a fake profile pic as it is to send one via chat, so there’s risk either way. Scruff is basically Grindr’s hairy brother. I never thought I’d miss the days where you had to physically go out to a bar or club to cruise for action, but at least you knew what you were getting and there really wasn’t as much bullshit or game playing.

Adam4Adam is a joke. 99% of the messages I get are from people cat fishing who list U.S. cities as home but GPS shows them over 5,000 miles away. They are invariably looking for long-term relationships and selling themselves like it’s a job interview. On top of that, the lazy and stupid scammers provide pictures of a relatively well built guy and their profile lists stats like 6’6” 140lbs with a 39” waist.

Have to wonder if the wives are aware of their past.

I prefer hosting in my home. It’s easier for me, no traveling, I control the environment, no surprises or unknown guests. I guess I consider it home field advantage. With all that said, I also treat these men as guests in my home and not as hired help. Drinks, food (especially if doing an overnight) and making them feel comfortable. I also do my due diligence, i.e., this forum and Daddy’s, before reaching out to them, so I have a pretty good idea of their reputation. I don’t have a ton of hiring experience, but I’ve had two companions here multiple times and I’m sure if asked would say they feel comfortable in my home.

Was that really him? His RM profile was created on April 8, 2018 and last accessed on April 24, 2018. Talk about a limited run. ?

Dear Santa, I know it’s only May, but I’m sending you my list early.... Wow!!

I remember drooling (among other things) over Mike Branson. He was gorgeous. Would love to know what he looks like now. I can’t seem to find any updated information on him. And that PornHub link is a goldmine! Over three hours of Mike Branson videos. ???

My cleaning service comes every other week and consists of a husband, wife, and sometimes a third person. I keep my home pretty neat in between visits, so they’re usually in and out in less than two hours. They didn’t come for the first few weeks, but reached out stating they’d come if customers were comfortable having them in the house. They wear masks and gloves. I remain in my office while they’re here and leave only to allow one of them to clean it when I go into my bedroom which has already been finished. We maintain more than enough distance during the switch off. I leave their check on my kitchen counter before they arrive so I don’t need to get near them for payment. It’s very generous of those who continue to pay without getting service and am assuming these aren’t pre-payments for future cleanings? I feel for everyone struggling financially through this pandemic, however, for myself personally, as a single person/income whose salary was cut 15%, I’m not in a position to indefinitely pay for services I’m not getting.

I agree. Totally impressed with the new layout, but I think the icon layout will create unintended reactions, especially when using a touchscreen and scrolling through the comments. If you accidentally touch an icon while scrolling it registers that reaction without any confirmation needed. I’ve already done it twice. Other than that, ?
