Assuming your recollection is correct (and I don't doubt it), $150-200 in 2000, adjusted for inflation, equals $250-325 in 2022. So $300/hr is keeping up with inflation; $400/hr is a bit more than just inflation. FWIW.

Even though I said up front that we wouldn't be in the same location in the near term, he was willing to have a brief and pleasant conversation. That's always a good sign. Definitely someone I'd want to get to know.

Sent you a PM.

Oh... I cannot see that, and don't know if @Despardo can, either. Would you be willing to cut/paste or screenshot that and share it either here or in a DM? Just reading the short version, it seems like the reviewer's disappointment might have been about out of date pictures. I take your point that it sounds like a vindictive rant, but forewarned = forearmed and better to know than go in blind. Thanks.

Hmm. He was gone for a while, came back with new pictures and a pretty visible ring on his hand, and has now changed his name to "Kevin Deactivated". https://rentmen.eu/KevinDeactivated Found true love, got hitched, gave up the hobby? Dunno, but hey, If so, may he be happy.

He's added pictures. You should look.

Add me to the list of 'reached out, no reply'. 🚩 🚩 🚩

Following, if only out of curiosity to see where this ends up. LOL

They may both be name changers, but I don’t think sfelipelatino and rtluis are the same guy. Ones got a more baby face, tats don’t match, dick looks different.

As I said in another thread, I would hope it would bring him happiness to see how this community that he adopted and then nurtured has endured, pulled together, and grown.

A sad anniversary. I hope Daddy would be pleased to see that this community that he took under his care and then nurtured has not only endured, but pulled together and continued to grow. It’s a good legacy and I hope it would bring him joy. Rest In Peace, Daddy.

I like your Schiller quote, BTW. re: DLHTB, if you’re close by and decide to check him out, let us know how it goes.

I could imagine a guy I’d pay a grand to be with. He would not be that guy. 🤪🙄

Seems cute, chill, ok on email. Anyone met him? It'll be a long time before I get to Palm Springs, sadly, or I'd lead the way. https://rentmen.eu/DLHungTabooBoy

Bump

y'know, this thread right here is why this site is such a valuable resource. almost reached out; think I'll give it a pass.

I dunno, maybe I’m being old and turning into the “damn kids on my lawn” guy, but I cringe a little because I think this OF thing could really boomerang on them in about ten years. Escorting could be discreet, private, something you could eventually leave behind or keep in your private life. This stuff is all over social media and eternal. When the body slides, the audience has moved on to the next hot thing, you’re trying to find a job, and HR looks this up and discovers your 275 hours of “collaboration”… yikes. There are people on this forum, long-term and very respected providers, who are open about their work and may have navigated this minefield in different ways. This is a sincere question, if you’re willing to enlighten me: I’m honestly curious if your work in this field has cost you jobs and opportunities and how you’ve navigated that.

There's a prior thread on the gent, he changed his name apparently.

I think that’s a fair assumption, LOL. Or he looks f***ing hot for 50…

New listing might be worth checking out. https://rentmen.eu/RonanHC

Wow. New potential in the Boston area? https://rentmen.eu/RonanHC Seemed pleasant and direct on chat. Will be a while until I can get to Boston though. Maybe others will take the plunge.

This, 100%.

Fair point…
