Hope you are doing well. First, you are definitely not the only late bloomer here. You are way further ahead than I am, and I am in my late 40s. There aren't even any buds on this plant, never mind blooms! LOL. Try not to overthink too much about time. There is no way to regain the time that has passed, so it is important to accept it. And also honour all that you have gained during the past 40 years - such as family and friends who you may not have met had things proceeded differently. Hopefully you will have many, many decades ahead of you to live your truth, and I also hope that your spouse and any children you might have will come to accept you, and that the love you all share might somehow be strengthened in the long run.

Here is the new RM ad... assuming it isn't someone using his photos. https://rent.men/MRCUBAN/#platinum

I clicked on the link and it came up as inaccessible... which means that I have been blocked. When I logged out and clicked on his profile it came up as expected, and I have no recollection of reaching out in the past and no memory of ever even seeing that profile... lol. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

Not this particular guy... someone else. My memory fails me though.

Did you find his photos to be out of date?

Hopefully he doesn't assume all his clients are telling the truth about their use of PreP.

I'm partial to Boulder's smaller sister-cities: Rock, Stone and Pebble.

Ahhh... maybe that is it.

I'm thankful my words were helpful... take care and keep us posted on your journey if you are comfortable doing so.

I read about that a while back. I thought the brothers pretended to be escorts in order to rob him, and that things went sideways from there. But I may be completely mistaken. I would never have guessed that was Jane Fonda. My first thought was Nancy Sinatra... lol.

Could be wrong, but aren't some of those pictures ones that were from ads that recently disappeared. I think the consensus was likely a fake profile...

I'm certainly not an expert in the ways of romance myself, by anyone's definition. Nor do I know what your current life situation may be and how this might affect others around you - so what I offer is just some general ideas for what they might be worth. I would strongly suggest taking a deep breath and do not let your anxiety get the better of you by trying to figure out what it all means right away. Take the time that you need to understand more clearly what it is that you are seeking, without necessarily putting a label (straight, gay, bisexual) on it, and proceed in a way and at a pace that is within your comfort zone. Be mindful of risks and safety, conduct yourself respectfully and honourably, and remember that while your own journey is unique, many others have likely been in similar situations and have come through with flying colours. Peace.

I had a feeling that might happen for you.

You may get some offers in your inbox from forum members wanting to help you out in your educational endeavours... 😉.

He looks like he would be a nice guy.

Has anyone tried the coffee that is made from beans which have passed through the digestive tract of a civet? It's apparently quite rare and expensive. And further to my first question, has anyone here come across a pile of crap in the forest and decided, "I think I'll pick through it and see if there is anything I can make a drink from"? 🤪

Not me! LOL

Ahhh. So you're saying a clear and accurate photo would not be flattering?

Escorts as fruit? Well, if we are going to objectify people I suppose there are worse things for comparison than fruit. At least most fruit are nutritious. That's something. 🙂

Gone again... poor guy

I suppose we never know how a person is going to react when reaching out - even on this forum at times. That was a pretty curt response he gave you, but at least he didn't leave you guessing how he felt about being contacted!

He looks to have a very kind face. Would you say that is representative of his demeanor, or am I reading into the photos? Also, some of the photos are quite grainy, with one face blurred even though he shows clear face pictures elsewhere. How accurate would you say the photos are? Outdated at all?

I do like a big cup of pure Kona. Very smooth indeed.

This where a team suspension would send an effective message, or better yet, take the silver medals away since they weren't satisfied with them and give the silver to Denmark.

He looks to me like someone on RM... someone named Pharaoh, or similar?
