Hey everyone, Prior to the upgrade I noticed if you clicked on a member's name who happened to be a provider, their profile would often show a link to their RM profile. Has this feature been changed or removed, or am I not looking in the correct place? Thanks

Holy cow - you have a lot messages in your RM inbox! I get excited if I have two messages waiting at any given time... lol

Wow... that's steep. When I was going to school in Vancouver a while back I had a rental 1-bed in a pretty good area, and paid almost $1500 a month. I heard recently that a studio apartment in that building was now $1850, so I imagine a 1-bed would likely be pushing $2400 - in Canadian dollars though.

I know where you're coming from, but please remember that what you read in this forum is not conclusive, nor does it represent everyone's opinion. Everybody has their own subjective preferences for what is considered attractive, cute, hot, or whatever. I would be thrilled to be described as 'cute' with the potential of becoming 'very hot if (I) lost 10-20 pounds', but that's just me. This forum is a place where individuals provide their own feedback about others who, for good or for bad, operate in a service-oriented industry where phyical attractiveness may be a factor in the choice made by a client. I have seen your photos in your ad and you are obviously a good looking guy, in my opinion. None of us will be to everyone's taste, and please try not to take anyone's comments too harshly. I don't think anyone who has commented about you here meant anything derrogatory, but we should all probably be mindful of how words can be taken. Some things that are said here, particularly between posters, can be pretty surprising! Anyway, you likely have been doing this already - and I don't want to assume you want or need the following advice - but determine what your strengths are and capitalize on developing those to their fullest. It sounds like you have the advantage of good skills and attractiveness. Some people can only rely on how they look, which may reap rewards in the short term, but will not likely support a lengthy and stable career in the long term. All the best to you, and don't forget that you don't have to be the lid that can cover every pot, so to speak

Just curious... what is an average rent for a 1-bedroom in a decent area? I'm not familiar with the LA market.

I would pay people NOT to tickle me...

Kraken? I'm only counting 2 arms.

Not sure if this a gay anthem or not, but 'Band of Gold' gets my head bopping. So I guess it's a bi-curious anthem in my case. Sorry, no idea here how to post a clip of the song 🙄

I think you've made a very good point here, but I can also see how any sudden, substantial increase in a donation amount would be jarring - especially when the provider has been helped along the way by the OP. However, the provider may have kept his donation at a lower level longer than he would have otherwise. Does the OP know if the donation amount increased for everyone at once, across the board? Or had it been higher for others already, with the OP's amount kept lower to reflect the help he had given? In any case, I'm thinking it would be good to be open with the provider and honestly tell him the increase came as a shock. Perhaps he'll reconsider, or find other ways of demonstrating the OP's importance to him.

His most recent RM review is unfortunately quite negative. 🙁

Yikes... I hope most professionals would never modify the donation for their time based on a client's physical appearance.

You'd still look great.

Thank you

Thank you.

There are many sites that mention 'average' lengths, and there is some variability in what seems to be reported. Curious what people on this site would consider an 'average' erect length based on personal experience with guys who are not in the sex industry? (I'm making an assumption that the average in that industry may be larger than what is considered average in the broader population)

Yours. Hands down... or paws down?

Apologies for your burning retinas... I do believe he would wear it better in any case. 🤣

I'm now picturing Mr. Nicholas with the Dorothy Hamill haircut. Definitely improves the look of that cut.

Maybe he drives super slow.

This could also be extended to interests that have traditionally been deemed as either masculine or feminine... such as 'men like sports' and 'women like sewing', etc. You make an excellent point about the historical blurring of gender expression - through my own reading I've come to understand that many biases we might assume started millennia ago actually had their genesis during the Victorian era, and in particular, the late Victorian era. Ideas about gender and sexuality were disproportionately affected by the austere conservatism of that period, and by some additional influences carrying over from earlier Puritan sensibilities as well.

This sounds like a great suggestion. Have you found that providers are generally open to this sort of thing, and would the regular donation amount for their time be expected/offered?

That's the series of lakes connected by waterfalls, right? There's a lot to see in that small country. I'd like to visit where Nikola Tesla was born if I could find it. I think he was born in Croatia but was Serbian, if I remember correctly.

I know a couple of Croatian families who go back every summer to Dalmatia. It looks incredible, and based on personal experience at dinners they have hosted, the food is DELICIOUS! Not to mention the plum brandy called Slivovitsa.... yummmm.

Sorry... I know you are looking for an answer from escorts, so I can delete this response if you let me know. But I think the fullness of the explanation you give should reflect the nature of the questions the provider has for you, coupled with your own personal level of comfort in offering that information. Perhaps he won't have much to say, and then you shouldn't feel any obligation to share anything further... good luck in any case

Exactly. It's all about the balance between a person's level of disposable income and their values and priorities for how they wish to spend it. Though it is completely understandable that someone would be disappointed if there is a provider they really, really want to meet but are unable to due to the donation amount. I get that, but it's ultimately part of the price we pay for living in a free-market economy and enjoying other benefits that come from that. I only wish people would not take their disappointment out on the provider. There needs to be more kindness and understanding all around.
