DynamicUno

I tried calling several months ago and left a message, but never heard back. Maybe it was for the best, I'm not sure I'd survive the encounter, hehe.

Demand or dynamic pricing is possible, though I think it would mostly apply in markets that are underserved or for providers that have high demand periods. I also think it's perfectly reasonable for travelling providers to charge a bit more than locals to help cover their travel expenses, especially since hotel rates have gone up this year. I want guys who visit my city to make enough to justify it, but these days I think it would price them out of the market.

He seems to have gone full time into producing OnlyFans content. I don't think he was that into escorting.

Suddenly I want to see how gay divorce parties compare to straight divorce parties....

I remember back in the 90s and 00s in Atlanta there were multiple awareness campaigns warning about roofie attacks, often with GHB. There were stories about guys who were robbed or sexually assaulted, and the admonishments to watch your drinks when going out. There was always an element of risk when going out. Still, this report is scary because it seems the perpetrators are using more deadly drugs and don't care if they kill their victims in the process. I hope they catch them quickly.

The new law will take a while to go fully into effect, but if it does then the police almost certainly will use it against vulnerable groups with selective enforcement. The rule about only enforcing the law when family members complain could also be used in blackmail schemes. Imagine meeting a local guy in a bar and going off for a hookup, only to be confronted afterward by an angry relative demanding money or they will go to the police. I'm guessing that there will be a few foreigners who will get prosecuted early on as examples, but the police in the major cities will tend to use it against gays or straight sex workers

RM doesn't require an account to contact the escorts, but it does make it much easier. I think if you try to use their messaging system when you're not logged in, it will give a temporary access code. Or you can send them a text message directly if they provide a phone number.

I love someone playing with my nipples, especially if they're rough with them.

I think most clients do not upload photos, and face pictures are rare. Client profiles can be seen by other users on the site, so if you need discretion you should not fill in anything that can identify you. The escorts on the site are used to seeing blank or limited profiles, so that's not a red flag for them. Asking questions is generally ok, but many want to know if you're ready to set up a meeting so it's a good idea to get to the point.

When I got Android 13 on my phone, it automatically set up "bedtime mode" which automatically sets it to DND when you plug it in after a certain time. That includes turning off almost all notifications and only allowing calls from selected contacts until after the scheduled time expires. I'm a little old for 2am bootie calls, but I do need to be able to get a call from family if there's an emergency.

This guy looks like Shaggy if he thought his dog was talking to him and started calling himself "Son of Scoob"...

The whole situation seems odd, but I am left wondering how the interaction actually went. It sounds like the barber's note was not well placed and too brief to explain what was going on. That might seem a bit rude, but I wonder if that's colored by the OP's pique about not getting to converse with the barber the way he's normally accustomed. Personally, I'd have some curiosity about what his "meditation period" was about, which might spark an interesting conversation for the next time. Was he going through a spiritual or religious exercise that required it? He might be open to talking about it. Or not. It would seem that approaching the question from a position of curiosity instead of confrontation would be better though.

I haven't had any negative experience with RM. Personally, I'd be more suspicious of any restaurants you might have been to recently where they take your card from the table, since they have the opportunity to skimthe magstrip and CCV, and the data is sold to criminal rings that distribute the lists. I wish the practice of bringing the CC payment terminals to the table would catch on in the US. Also card skimmers on gas pumps, ATMs, and other automated devices have been found, sometimes with cameras to capture the PIN numbers as well.

It's not just air travel. Toronto's Union Station has prominent signs warning rail travelers going into the US against taking any cannabis across the border. Best to purchase and consume locally!

I've been using Google Fi for some time. They run it as a no-contract MVNO mostly over T-Mobil and US Cellular's towers. The Pixel phones and certan others can network hop based on the strongest signal. They also have a very generous international data plan. Since there's no contract you can change up your plan based on your usage patterns. It's naturally heavily tilted towards android phones but iPhones can be used on it.

I almost always sleep just in underwear; I find pajamas too uncomfortable as they twist or bind if I turn over and I have to keep adjusting them. I'll keep a fleece bottom or shorts and a t-shirt near the bed if I have to get up and it's chilly.

I might have a chance to go to Vancouver and he's been on my "must try to see" list if I ever got out there. He used to be pretty active, but he doesn't show up in RentMen anymore so it looks like he may have retired or is no longer seeking new clients at least. Does anyone still keep in contact with him?

I've never heard "womance" used. The portmanteau isn't as natural sounding and it's not even etymologically parallel to "bromance". There's just not a strong feminine equivalent to "bro" in common usage. "Sis" just doesn't get used the same way and "wo-" feels forced.

That would be my cue to pointedly head to the front door and announce that we would be decamping to the nearest Waffle House for better company and hospitality. Older sis can suck an egg.

I happen to like a good pumpkin pie, but I'd have no objections to a host going a less traditional route with something like an apple or berry pie. It's nice if it's seasonal, but I don't really care if someone deviates from the traditional menu that much. That said, if you bring out a neon green custard pie and tell me it's key lime, I will judge you.

You could just say "local guys only" or something like that....

The restrictions during the games are among the least of the issues surrounding this WC, which probably would have to wait until the politics forum to reopen to discuss in detail. It seems like the Qatar authorities planned to demand restrictions on alcohol and impose dress requirements on players and spectators at the last minute when there was no way for FIFA or the teams or the sponsors to negotiate around them. One would hope this would lead to reforms at FIFA, but....

I've had a recent experience where a escort I wanted to see was visiting a city near me that would require a bit of a drive to get to. I reached out to him a few days before he was going to be there to try to set a time during the weekend, and it would be doable if he could host and meet in the afternoon. He kept saying it should be doable, but never could get him to confirm the time. Even the day before, he just said to "check in with him tomorrow". Since I could never get a committment on the time (and if he could affirmatively host), I just stayed home. I'm not sure why he kept deferring, but it was more than a little frustrating.

The weird approach I see nowadays is the "wrong number" text where they send you a message and play it off like a an acquaintance gave them a wrong number. They'll usually follow on with a photo of a younger Asian woman and try to keep you in the conversation from there. I never follow it to see where the scam is going. I have screwed with them a few times, saying I'm a relative of the person they named for, and that they were recently killed. I'm demanding to know how they knew my dear departed "sister" and if they know anything about how she was killed...blah, blah, blah... The scammers really don't know how to deal with being thrown off script. The poor saps who call about my car's extended warranty sometimes also get taken along for a ride...

Crypto is a relatively new angle. For a long time I was getting the "army guys", who are just waiting to come back home to my welcoming arms. They followed a pretty predictable script, and I could throw them off just by asking which unit they were in.
