I might send him a message closer to the trip and see how he handles the upfront communications.

My premium membership lapsed over a week ago. I have been an on-and-off premium client. I don't let it renew automatically. It's not worth it to me. I'll pay for a month, then let it lapse for a month or two, then renew it again for a month, etc etc. Their product is not worth 9.95 month after month after month.

Hey fellow hobbyists....check your RM email and see if they sent you an email request to complete a short survey. If you do, RM will credit your account with 3 free months of premium membership. I got an extra 2 months bonus since I happened to see the email and filled out the survey within the first 24 hours. RM credited my account for five additional months. Get it while you can.

Of course, my friend, of course. I'm all about sharing good news!

Yeah, his stated offerings seem a bit lacking for a BFE-type date.

My my my......he's a purdy specimen! Where has he been during our PS weekends? He must be a recent transplant to the area.

I use the phone as little as possible. I don't always have it on my body, and it is on silent at all times. I never answer unknown numbers, and as for the rest, I answer when I feel like it, which means people I know don't have unlimited access to me. I also respect their decision if they cannot or do not want to pick up and take my call.

So, I'm going back to Vegas in 2 weeks, and we all know what a crap shoot that city is for hobby talent. I will import company for some of the week, but I have one, possibly two, nights to sample and/or break-in a newbie. I haven't scrolled through ads yet, but am willing to consider feedback from my Hooville peers. What new talent has caught your eye that you might want ole jawja to scout and possibly take one for the team? I'm willing to consider recommendations from LA, San Diego, Phoenix, etc. Plane tickets to/from Vegas are usually reasonable, especially if the candidate motivates me visually. Let the community adventure begin!

When I started this hobby in my early 30s, it was common to develop friendships or friendliness with some of the guys. In fact, one companion, who was my age at the time, could have become a bf, if I had been into relationships, which ain't a thing with me and never will be. Now a generation later......and the idea of that is something I find impossible and never pursue. The delta in wisdom, experience, empathy, and plain ole common sense is too vast. And I'll be damned if anyone, much less a know-very-little 20-something, is going to drag me down. When they start yapping about their life experience and expertise, I'm like enough already. I kiss him, then turn 'em over and spank their bubbly asses. This hobby works best when we simply mix some fun and adventure into an already satisfying life. It cannot compensate for essential life deficits. We must deal with those issues in other ways.

I have used Google Pay for all or a portion of the fee, or to advance a small amount to cover travel expenses or a gift item. I like the option of retrieving and carrying less cash, especially when going somewhere like Vegas where I have been known to burn through a wad of cash.....for one reason or another or another.

Alot of NYSE volume is program trading. It has not been a good thing, since it routinely spooks nervous retail investors out of the market, while the big boys swoop in and pick up the pieces for profit.

Lemme think about options I've used in the past.... -Long ago in a galaxy far far away, postal money orders (shout out to Epigonos for suggesting that idea) -Google Pay (many times and never had a problem) -Paid the rent -Paid the utilities -Invested in a small business......fully repaid with interest -Replaced a transmission.......best deal I ever struck

Oh yes, every engagement. Y'all know good company is all that matters to me.

Ugh.....

Hot dayum! Snap him up! I will await the full report of your exploits with Mr. Diamond.

Longer meetings are awesome. You just have to start doing them to figure them out. With practice, you refine your needs and fantasies, how to communicate and set up successful meets, etc. Have a great time!

Uh huh.....this new math is a hoot.

I use my phone minimally, but texting is like the other tools of the trade that allow me to weed out incompatible playmates. So, I text when necessary, but I'm still primarily an e-mailer, as least to get the balls rolling, and I don't plan to change.

Rates have never made sense and never will. I am quoted a sub-1000 figure about half the time. Naturally being a value guy, I take notice. But ultimately, I pay whatever a provider requests if I'm into him and I think we are compatible. So, just this year, I have given 1500 for one night, and that's rare for me to go that high. A couple others, 1500 for 3 nights and 2000 for 3 nights. Those were good deals, very good deals. Oh yeah, and another 3-nighter was so good and so affordable, that I dare not mention a number lest some of you convulse when you read it.

Welcome back, even if it's just a quickie! And of course, I remember your exceptional tastes.

I recently posted some reviews on RM. I know about their screwed up policy, so I sent an obligatory contact message to the providers (after the fact and after the meeting date listed on the review) just so that RM would scan our messages and see we made contact. They published the reviews. And related to the RM messaging feature, another provider just re-sent many messages directly from his email because he realized that RM was not delivering his responses to prospective clients. 10+ years in existence and RM can't get the basics right. It will never improve.

Oh, and I def should apologize for my poor advance planning for this trip.....we haven't discussed who we may want to invite into the room for a threesome or moresome.

Are you going to leave me any floor space so that I can at least walk to my side of the bed? OR is that the plan...we will be climbing over each other from the same side to get in and out of bed???

That's not the farthest "out there" ad I've ever seen. I love free markets.

In another thread, I made a negative comment about RM reviews being a joke, and today confirmed it again for me. To encourage a young provider I recently met, I submitted a RM review. It was a good review of a good meeting between the two of us. It was rejected because there are no messages between my RM profile and the companion's ad. Providers who disable the messaging feature and only accept texts/calls to set up a meeting have a RM guarantee that no review, especially a negative review, will ever be posted about them.
