The only thing close is “Seeking Arrangements” (discussed herein) or similar websites. The ones interested make themselves known through these sites. Or approach via Grindr. 

If rates go back to the 250-300 range then you’ll get more interest. Lots of quotes in the 400-600 range. Why should I do that when my regular steady is in the right range. I know what I’m getting and no risk in trying an untested, unknown experience that could be a money burner.

For me, too many guys have gone up to 350/400 or more while my regulars have stayed at 300.

Yes they are….. so caveat emptor. 

I'd have liked to meet him when the ass pic was new.

Not aware of agencies anymore. Internet killed the Agency unless they moved online and then moved to Netherlands (or other friendly place). 
 
Nowadays it’s rare but still happens. Mostly based on trust. But when I find someone like that, I keep them in my personal collection. 😏😉

In the end nothing is 100% safe. The closest is US Treasuries. The I-Bond is the highest yielding - very good now. You can buy $10K per year and get another $5K through tax refunds per year.  You can hold an I-Bond for 30 years!!! With inflation returning, the other treasuries might be good investments again but I’d wait until the rate hikes are done. 
 
Another safer play is to buy a multifamily (1-4 units) where you live in one unit and rent the others out. Bank will finance it like a primary and you get great tax benefits (ask a CPA).  Only take a 30 year fixed rate mortgage.  The rents will subsidize you!!  Yes it might take work, but it’s worth it when it’s paid off. Rent = income. (As rates hike, watch for opportunities when ARMs reset. Folks will get priced out of their own homes and won’t be able to refinance. Train wreck. Another is AIRBNB STR income properties…. If there is a deep recession and people stop traveling. I don’t think we get a deep one, maybe a shallow one). 
 
Another good inflation hedge is solid dividend payers (essential goods, energy, REITS).
 
So do your research and homework.  Ask questions. And be patient.
I never could understand crypto and what it actually did. I did play with BTC and ETH but sold last fall (lost $1k). Whew!!  Seeing what is happening to it now, I got lucky. Thank god for being around a while. In the end, making money and profits matter.
The Cheap money era is over for a long time.  I got skeptical when someone paid like $60k for an invisible sculpture and a 12 year old made over $1M selling her NFTs. 🤔🧐🫣🫢🤦🏽‍♂️  Those were top signals to my mind. Tulips in Holland (read about it - classic bubble mania). But good for those two. 

It's only a bad sign in that you have to contact him through rentmen rather than call him directly. It's just somewhat unusual. I prefer direct contact but am not totally adverse to using rentmen as an intermediary.

what is it with Columbus lately on the forum??!!.....wow!
 

(1)  True, it is rare, but it happens.  If it does happen, even if an annuity holder is among the first in line to get assets, what happens if there are no unattached assets?  Again, annuities are not insured. 
(2) Fisher lies to investors?  Strange they do not have the SEC after them for lying.  
I guess you do not like Fisher.  

Annuities are not insured.  Some annuities guarantee income for life.  But, if the annuity securities go bankrupt, that is the end of their promise for life.

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. 

Basic advice: it all depends on your time horizon. If it is 20-30 years (i.e. you won’t touch it and you’ll let it grow that long) then buy index or mutual funds and reinvest the dividends (eg Vanguard has low cost ones). Contribute to it every month. Let it grow. The rule of 72 can be useful. Basically you divide 72 by the interest/dividend/growth rate. So if your money grows 10% per year, your money will double every 7.2 years. Etc. 
 
Don’t look at it every day. Ignore price swings. Don’t watch CNBC (all the headlines are for day and swing traders). 
 
There are free growth calculators online that u can use to model your future stash. 
 
Live and enjoy life. Use your money to also have a lil fun along the way. 

Can anyone tell me what the tattoo on his chest says? I can’t make it out.  Nice body.  

My best guess is "Only God Can Judge."

U can message his reviewer on RM and see what he says. Hard to say if he’s real or not unless u contact/meet. In the end someone has to actually go for it and see….

No. The separate room is a huge red flag. This means he is not “yours” for the time engaged. You are just the bank for his trip. He will then see you when he wants; will give you your one hour of play time; and then he’ll trick or trade in his separate room. You’ll be miserable. 
 
Walk away. Not worth it. 

Even the most properly prepared pucker will periodically produce a profoundly unpropitious production, particularly when probed with a profound protuberance.

Better to bring your own. 

Any info on this cute sub bottom? https://rent.men/JoshHenry

Looking for some fun this weekend, my usual guy is still not available. Went online and amazed to see the amount of visiting "talent". I suppose there are lots of visiting admirers too, so hopefully the locals are also getting a lot of attention. Decisions, decisions!!!!
