Tell the truth.  Don’t start a relationship with secrets   Maybe you’ll find a guy who understands 

My regular go to guys are both in long- term relationships, and their partners know about the escorting being the primary source of income for these guys. You can find open minded partners these days. It may be hard, but it happens. 

Okay come on you are only twenty-three. Be decisive! Decide what you want NOW. Nothing, but death, is cast in concrete. If you are enjoying the money and experiences, you are having escorting now; continue. If in six, twelve, or twenty-four months, or more you feel differently then change your life at that time. You and you alone should be the master of your present and future. Good Luck and for God sakes have fun, Fun, FUN, move on and stop worrying about making a “permanent” decision.

No, don't lie. 
Just be honest and up-front.  If they can't handle your chosen profession, they're not the one for you.
YOU dictate your life and happiness.  Always remember that.

I am older than most of those commenting here (older even than OP Lucky!), so I never watched "Leave It to Beaver." It was broadcast while I was in college, when I rarely watched TV  (we didn't have TV sets there). I wouldn't have known who Tony Dow was if it weren't for the hoo-ha about the obituary. Looking at the photos now, I can certainly see what you were attracted to then.

I think I was in the 3rd grade when I discovered Leave It To Beaver afternoon reruns.  I didn't realize it at the time, but I was totally hooked on the show because of Beav's hunky older brother.  Thanks for the memories.  RIP.

Markets do tend to correct themselves over time which is why central planned economies have always failed.  
 
Everything seems to be moving faster today including how businesses react to the labor shortage.  Automation is quickly replacing labor as you note.  My local CVS earlier this year put in two self checkouts.  If you do not order online and go into a McDonalds, you place your order on a large screen.  AMC theaters has put in self purchase screens to buy tickets as well as buying them on line.  My local post office has a self-service station.

 However, this is not new, I remember when elevators all had operators and what an amazing thing it was to go to Hartzfeld’s Department Store on the Plaza in the 1950’s when they put in the city’s first fully automatic elevator. The elevator had a speaker that called out what was on each floor like the old human operators did.  Clearly, it did not take much to impress this young gay boy😀.
I remember when at a gas station, men would come out and check your oil, wash your windows, fill up your tank,  check your tire’s air pressure and perhaps even offer to vacuum the interior😱.  Long gone.

I also recommend The Tenement Museum, and The Cloisters. 

I’d add the following to the list: 
• New York Transit Museum
• Museum of Chinese in America
• Merchant’s House Museum
• Rubin Museum of Art 

The Morgan Library & Museum should also be on your list. Check what exhibits are happening during your visit - there’s currently a centenary exhibit on Joyce’s Ulysses that I really enjoyed. 

Editing to add one more - it’s a bit of a schlep, but if you’re into photography, it’s worth a visit to the Alice Austen House on Staten Island. Plus, it’s also now an LGB landmark. If it’s a sunny, nice day the trip on the ferry can garner you some great pics too!

The Frick is an amazing place.  Closed for a complete renovation of the house (new HVAC, opening part of the second floor).  Currently, the collection is on display on Madison Avenue in the old Whitney.  Interesting because you can see the collection in a different way than when it was in the house.

Yup, currently.  At times, I-bonds have paid above inflation.  There's two components of an I-bond rate, the base rate plus the inflation rate.  Just that currently the base rate is 0%.

Is this the guy?  If so, Daddy is turning over in his grave right about now.  Long-time members will remember the history and altercations between JD and Daddy and all of the Escort of the Year stuff.  As for whether he’s a good escort or not, I’m clueless.  I’ve never hired him.  He did provide the Forum with a lot of “popcorn eating” moments, though.  😂 

When was he 39?

I'm fairly well established as not being into a lot of ink, but ink on the neck and face trouble me in particular.
That said, I'm sure my pics would not pass his standard, either.

Aw to be young, dumb and full of cum. He obviously thinks very highly of himself. He insists that his potential clients send him photographs, He appears to want only same day appointments and he lists Spanish as his only language. Even though he lives in my neck of the woods I find I can without much thought take a HARD PASS!!!!!

Not only god, I'm very judgy about that mess of a tattoo.

I would hold off on crypto investment right now.  From “The Economist” this morning:
 
 
The summer of crypto’s discontent
PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES  On Wednesday, Iran will cut off electricity to its 118 authorised crypto-mining firms, hoping to relieve the country’s strained power network. It is a fitting move, as the mood darkens in the wider cryptoverse. The price of bitcoin fell nearly 15% on Saturday alone, triggering some $1bn in liquidation as traders who had borrowed money to make big bets failed to put up more collateral. Other crypto-coins tumbled too, although most have since recovered and the market appears to have stabilised. But bitcoin remains nearly 70% below its peak in November. That is wreaking havoc across the industry. 
  Lenders have suspended withdrawals, hedge funds have failed to meet margin calls and one exchange halted transactions altogether, fearing it might run out of funds. Even giant firms have been hit. Many—notably Coinbase—have announced layoffs of up to 20% of their workforces. This summer of discontent could evolve into a long winter for the fading stars of crypto.

I like good marketing and, in my opinion, escorts on RM who have good business sense tell us about themselves, what they’re into and what they’ll do. They don’t require that we inquire further. Others may have their reasons for limiting their info to “ask me” or saying they perform good massages and imply that they might do more. To each his own, but such guys remind me of the time Errol Flynn was cornered at a dinner party by the mother of a young actress, who went on and on about her daughter’s talents. She was a bore and Flynn finally interrupted her and said, “And tell me madam, does she fuck?

Dance of the Vampire with Michael Crawford. Horrible!

Hmm 🤔 I think he’s asking for hiring recs. Lol 😂 

Suggestions for Chicago...
Portillos dipped beef (wet, with peppers) and a Chicago-style hotdog.  No ketchup, ever.

Moderator Note:  I’m preemptively adding a reminder here for folks to keep the conversation on topic of the hotness of the person. I understand it’s important to put in context why this person is relevant (which is now done), but any additional political commentary will be off topic. 
 
(Nothing has been done wrong here so far. I’m simply trying to keep it that way)

A close friend of mine actually lost a lot of money in a cryptocurrency scam, so I'm not touching anything crypto with a 10-foot pole.
