Thank gosh, I feared I was the only one. Gman

He advertises as versatile. Gman

He's been in Austin for over a year. But I don't see his ad currently. Gman

Was he into kissing as he doesn't list it? Gman

Their bums. Where else would topping someone cause bleeding? Gman

I have to ask why the notion men can't have sex with each other would even occur to you. Gman

The profile can still show up and still be expired. Gman

Both the Rentmen and RentMasseur links point to someone(s?) currently advertising in Seattle. Gman

I just take XXX as being related to sex or porn not necessarily indicating size. Gman

It's just me. But I think we should stop trying to analyze the relationship, Unicorn's feelings, and the former boyfriend's feelings and motivations. I'm assuming that most of us don't actually know either of them in person. So it's really going to be impossible for us to know everything that happened. What's important now is that Unicorn is having to grieve over a relationship that he thought was going to be for the rest of his life. I'm not sure us hashing it out here in the Message Center at this point is doing anything more than turning a knife in the wound. It's obviously not my decision, and I didn't think of it until just now as I was writing this, but I'll mention it in the slight case @Unicorn didn't think of it either (as it's a decision for him and Daddy/Moderators). Maybe at this point since probably everything has been said, @Unicorn should ask to lock this thread. Gman

I lived in the Dallas area temporarily from 2011-2012 as opposed to when I moved back permanently in 2018. That was the when I really started placing myself on the hook-up apps. At that time people seemed to want to meet 1st more often before deciding whether to hookup. I met several guys at the Starbucks in a trendy area called Uptown. Most of the meetings went nowhere. The one real bright spot though was a young barristo there that I thought was really cute. He was probably 22 or 23. Well I never said anything to him beyond placing my order because I'm old and daddy-ish. And in any case I figured he was straight. Imagine my (happy) surprise when I saw him traipsing around in some tidy-whiteys at the next Dallas TBRU (aka Texas Bear Round-Up) a large 'bear' convention held each spring in Dallas. He had entered the underwear contest. And being a shy guy, I think he needed to be soused to do it. And not only was the boy gay-he liked Daddy-types. I didn't make it there for the contest. But he was in the lobby area outside the contest room afterwards, and the cute boy sat on my lap for a while. Unfortunately he had a Daddy (boyfriend) already. But after that I made a point to introduce myself the next time I was at the Starbucks. We became friends up to a point-he's both shy and is into a lot more kinks than I'll ever be. But we would often go out to get something to eat with some friends of his when Starbucks closed for the night. Later on he broke up with his Daddy (not due to anything I did), and we occasionally had some encounters of a very close kind. When I moved back to Washington State in 2012, I used to look forward to seeing him when I came back to Dallas visiting. Unfortunately for me, he made acquaintance with a real Daddy type-(one who is really into Dad/Son dynamics) and moved out of state to be with him. I'm happy for him as he found someone who was more into the same kinks as he was -diapers/Dad-son/puppy play. But I miss him too. Gman

We definitely wish it too because you are the type of guy that appeals to a lot of us on here. On the other hand, while it's unfortunate for us, I know I, and I'm sure most of the others here on the Message Center, understand. It's not like most of could escort with a client, sight unseen even if we were fortunate enough to be as incredibly good looking as you are-and most of us aren't. But as you seem to be such a nice guy along with being incredibly handsome; you can't really blame us for wishing you could. Gman.

Should I say the truth-or a... -well I'll go with truth. The guy may not have been my A-number one choice, but I had definitely considered him in the past. And when he answered my phone call, I was definitely happy. And I couldn't believe how nice he was to pick up a cake. Minuses-he ended up being a smoker which I hadn't known. It wasn't awful, but I could definitely smell it. And when we became intimate, we had to stop earlier than I would have liked because he started bleeding. It wasn't a lot. But it put a *kibosh on things. However when you figure everything in totality, he kept me from being alone on my birthday. And I was very grateful to him. *(As contrast a few years later I once saw Andrew Justice topping a porn star named Justin Taylor. Andrew was so vigorous Justin started bleeding. [Note: this was a personal encounter and not on a set]. I thought they were going to have to stop. They did but only for about 5 minutes while Justin applied some toilet paper. They both said something like, "It happens." And then went back to business. ) Gman

My tastes must be different. I almost always found a lot of guys I liked in NYC long before page 6. I once had an overnight scheduled for my birthday. We met at the theatre showing "A Little Night Music." I wasn't actually that thrilled about seeing it as the story didn't really excite me. On the other hand I did get to see Catherine Zeta Jones, and I think Angela Lansbury. But when the escort arrived he wasn't feeling well. He lasted until the 1st intermission. But I could tell he wasn't feeling well-and I at least 90% believed him (we met for an extended train trip the next year and he persisted to say he was ill when we had met previously (I probably should have taken the 1st meeting as an omen as he wasn't that great a train companion)). I ended up only paying him for a cab to get home. I was so upset afterwards that I left the play early. It was my birthday. I still wanted to be with someone. But it was later in the evening. And I had trouble finding someone. Finally around 9 pm or 10, I found an escort willing to do a last minute overnight with someone he had never met before. I had explained why I was calling him so late. It took him longer to get to the hotel than I expected. But when he arrived, I found out that the reason he had taken so long was that the sweet guy had stopped by the store to pick up a chocolate cake for my birthday. Gman

Thank you for your kind sentiments Ms. Lillie. I'm sure @Alfstoria, as well as the rest of us, appreciate your well wishes Gman

But had you noticed so many of them seem to be strict tops? Gman

You'll probably get a lot more and better suggestions if you tell us a bit more what you like-physique type-average, defined, athletic, or muscular; kisser or non; vanilla/wild; straight/bi/gay (as much as we can tell); top/bottom/versatile; etc; etc; & etc. Gman

I'm sorry that happened to you. If I were still hiring and you had been versatile, I would have come down to meet you. Gman

There's a company that they employ to vet FMLA claims and special accommodations. The company can reject what the doctor suggests. They've already done it on another matter. I might have been able to appeal. But I didn't get around to it. As for not examining you, I think it's becoming more common. I've been to Urgent Cares where they haven't done much of an exam. At one of my last endocrinology appointments (I had thyroid cancer), the endocrinologist went over labs but never palpated my neck (an ultrasound had showed no thyroid tissue or significant nodes-so I know she wasn't expecting to palpate anything-but still). For several visits my neurologist's office documented my temperature when they never took it (of course in that case the doctor wasn't in the room and was going by what the nurse or medical assistant falsely documented.)

Is the 5 mg oxy/325 Tylenol not strong enough in your opinion? Twenty years ago I broke my left leg just below the knee-the fibula (little toe side) and tibia (big toe side) at the ankle. I was in a long leg cast for about 3 weeks before they put a shorter cast on. -I think the longer cast may have been on a bit longer than normal as the surgeon went on vacation. The doctor wanted me to keep the leg elevated 23 out of 24 hours a day. But my leg would throb-especially during my one hour with it down. I was using frequent pain medications for weeks. My parents came to help me as obviously I couldn't do much with my leg elevated 23 hours a day. My mother was worried I was going to get hooked. But gosh my leg throbbed. I needed them. And I didn't get hooked. Gman

I had a hook-up with a guy once. He was a hairstylist-maybe a beautician. He didn't want me to touch his hair either. IMHO it's a really off putting statement in the middle of sex. Gman
