Funny, my cleaning lady hasn’t been in my home in 2+ months, but she hasn't missed a paycheck. My barber hasn’t worked in over 2 months and has an infant — he’s getting a couple of Benjamins when I see him. My Uber drivers bringing my to go orders are getting at lesst a $20 tip. My dentist has already been paid for my next 3 visits (he offers a discount for annual prepays).

 

Oh yeah, I’m “essential” & haven’t missed a paycheck, have a 6 month emergency fund and I’ve been buying while the stock market has been down.

 

Tightwads, rich and poor, are never happy. Givers are rarely sad. Givers are rarely poor, too, even if they have no extra money. Go figure.

My neighbors are surprised that I don’t have a housekeeper yet have a spotless house. I always reply that I enjoy cleaning and that no one can do it as well as I do. In fact, I have cleaning supplies for every surface! As for hair, a friend does it for me now. She’s as good as any barber. I’m definitely doing take out from locally owned restaurants and leaving big tips. I can walk to most of them, so the owners aren’t getting squeezed by delivery services. As for provider, even if they are a bit naive, I always will pay an excellent rate, even if it’s more than they asked for. That way, we all feel better!

I’m already starting to see postings from 19 to 23 year olds.

 

May I ask where you’re seeing these posts?

 

And as an aside, do others think clients will stop paying in cash? (I’ve noticed that businesses and shops that remain open are insisting on card payments and refusing to handle cash.)

This made me laugh. Why? Because cash is THE thing, and usually THE only acceptable thing, but it's amazing how super duper cool an electronic transaction is when someone hits me up for an "advance" or a "loan". :);):p:D

I’m seeing a big increase on seeking.com of the 19-23 yo’s. I’m also seeing guys there unclear on any concept of what they’re getting into, guys asking to “$ell pic$” online/platonic only, and many profiles get deleted before I even get a chance to respond to a first message sent my way. The deletions/block I suspect are profiles with the pic selling or overt requests for cash.

 

So I’m just watching the eye candy go by. I’ve updated my profile there to indicate I’m not meeting anyone now due to Covid restrictions and concerns.

Sexually speaking, the world really is your oyster if you're an older rich gay man.

I’m not “rich” by most standards. That said, I did not qualify for a covid stimulus check ?

Nor did I.

And I'm the complete opposite of rich, but I thought by rich and world, @Quincy_7 meant "anything, at any price, anywhere". I don't think that's exclusive of old gay men. Especially now that there are so many new billionaires flourishing around the world.

Wealthy men tend to be older but the key tool is money. You could have been the most undesirable man in your 20s but if by your 40s or 50s you're a millionaire then the tables suddenly turn and you get your pick of 18-25 year old twunks.

If you have a choice, why go for 18 to 25 year old twinks. Unless you do not enjoy men.

First of all I said twunks not twinks. And secondly, if you're a bottom and need a big burly man that's fine but not everyone here is a bottom.

 

What does being 'big and burly' have to do with topping or bottoming?

 

The world has changed.

 

What you're expressing are old, preconceived notions.

Unfortunately those are stereotypes most of us still have about a muscular guy being a top and an effeminate guy being a bottom. Porno also makes us believe some should act one way or another in a private situation. How often do we see a "twink" fucking a daddy with a bear style body?

 

You're right, things are changing! Never judge a book by its cover and for the record, effeminate/masculine is in the eyes of the beholder....

Maybe that's what some like or prefer specially if they're hiring.

 

Why is an 18-24 year Old twunk (or twink?) not a “man”?

 

First of all the word has derogatory roots. Twink is oftentimes associated with the phrase “twinkle-toes,” which is intended to insult a man for being effeminate, slim, not muscular, etc. I think in most cases guys who exclusively want to have sex (paid or free) with twinks do it because they didn't have fun in college, they were either closeted or they just didn't get lucky back then for different reasons.

I can't find an article I read a long time ago about a study of men in their 60's who were only/mostly into twinks and refused to engage in any kind of relationship with men their own age and body type. They were undoubtedly physically attracted to a slim body type but also to the power of having a sexual partner who is dupable, ingenuous, unsuspecting, deceivable, etc. Someone they could "mold" and control because he doesn't know any better, someone grateful to them and all they could offer.

Some on here are already determined to get a better deal in a post Covid world.

 

Believe me, every single business in the country is determined to get a better deal. Businesses hated the past 2 years, when it was hard to find workers. Now they have their pick of desperate unemployed people, while they can threaten to lay off their existing ones.

 

It's how the world works, no matter what business you're in.

I also believe in capitalism but believe some posters on here were already bragging about the good deals they got from Grindr, SA, etc. before all of this happened. I think some escorts might lower their rates but others will do something else.

 

I just like to respect folks and I think asking for a discount is like showing a coupon while ordering, you'll get more rice and French fries... Who came out with that metaphor on here first? I can't remember.

 

Most escorts ARE still taking appointments despite all of this!
