lookin

I might, and have, if I like the guy from his reviews and/or posts, and if the picture looks good. But here you caught me being lazy, using Daddy’s review site as my only example of a larger picture. I had also taken a shot at including David's Rentboy pictures in my last post so you could see what they look like too, but was told that dynamic links aren't supported, whatever the hell they are. However, if you’ll click the following Rentboy link, you’ll see a half dozen larger pictures of David, just about any one of which would get me to pick up the phone. http://www.rentboy.com/location/getrb.asp?...amp;Location=71 MER has been a great combo site with reviews and good pictures, when the guy I'm interested in is here. I usually check Daddy's site for reviews too and, after next week, Rentboy will be the place I'll check for more full-size pictures. MER will remain a good one-stop solution for paying members, but probably not for me, as the little thumbnails don't show up very well on my screen. Sorry for the puzzlement, and hope this clears it up OK.

I think Happy makes a number of very good points. One of the escorts I’m hoping to hook up with in the near future is David in San Francisco. He’s posted a few times on Daddy’s website and comes across as a really nice guy. Shallow as I am, I did want to check out his pictures before getting in touch with him. Fortunately, his pictures are on a number of websites, and are easy to find. He is definitely hot! Today, I’m likely to look for David’s pictures on this website, but that will change after December 15th, when I’ll be limited to viewing only thumbnails. It makes a difference, as you can see. Here’s David’s picture from Daddy’s Reviews today: Here’s David’s picture from this site today: And here’s David’s picture from this site as of December 15th: It's possible this site will become less popular with escorts as well as clients, once only paying members can see pictures large enough to make a hiring decision. Of course, you'll be able to see any change in traffic pretty quickly, and may decide to reverse course. But then I wonder how you'll get any lost traffic back again, without spending more money. I’m sure you’ve run the numbers before making the decision to charge for enlarging pictures. But, based on the feedback you’ve read here, I hope you’ll consider running the numbers one more time before the change is made. (This post provided to MER by Lookin at no charge.) (And as you so accurately pointed out, it's cheap at twice the price!!)

And here I thought I'd have to go to the other site to get my member deracinated. Or tarradiddled for that matter. Your post alone is worth the price of admission! (This post provided to MER by Lookin at no charge!) (And cheap at twice the price!!)

I appreciate flguy’s starting this thread, as I rarely visit the home page and would have missed it altogether. Here’s some input from a free member who’s been getting a free ride on the Silver membership train, and appreciates it, but is not planning to upgrade on December 15th. It’s not that I begrudge you eight bucks a month. On the contrary, I’d be happy to buy you guys a drink every time I saw you. It’s just that I don’t join websites. I hate the idea of turning over my credit card info for a recurring charge every month. An old-fashioned bugaboo of mine, I know, but there you have it. After I’m downgraded on December 15th, the one thing I’ll miss is being able to enlarge pictures. I don’t do it very often, but once in a while I like a closer look. Along with posting in the forums from time to time, it’s really the only reason for me to even log in. I visit the forums and Flirt4Free most every day, and have fun posting once in a while, but usually just show up as a guest. I can’t say for sure but my guess is that the first time I try to enlarge a picture and am told I don’t have sufficient privileges, it will probably piss me off a little. Not a great deal, but it will probably feel a bit like a punch in the nose. After the second or third time of being reminded I’m out of the club, it will probably keep me from stopping by the site as much. I’m very clear that you folks have business decisions to make, and I’m certainly not the kind of site visitor that’s central to your business plan. But I did want you to know what my thinking is, so you’d at least have one more piece of info as you go forward. It remains my hope that you’ll be able to make ends meet from advertising revenues alone, and not need to charge for enlarging pictures. But I understand and respect whatever decisions you make, and wish you the very best! Thanks again for the good times!

Funny! Sounds like an interesting movie. Thanks for mentioning it. I've always loved John Leguizamo. And Benjamin Bratt. But hadn't heard of Unax Ugalde before. Woof!

Hope the folks in front of you had their galoshes on . . .

Interesting question. But you posed it two different ways so, for me, it has two different answers. In your first post, you wrote: And in that case, I’d say “Sure would!†There are lots of fantasy guys I’d love to give a warm oral welcome to, including Matt Damon. Then in your second post you wrote: And in that case, I’d have to say “No way.†There’s nothing that turns me off faster than a bad attitude. It’s not that I’d be cutting off my nose to spite my face, so to speak. It’s just that, for me, certain negative personal characteristics completely extinguish the flame of desire. Mel Gibson’s dick before he opened his mouth was something I could see getting friendly with; but after he started sharing all his personal views, any erotic charge just fizzled out for me. I think that's one of the reasons many celebrities put so much effort into crafting their public images. And one of the reasons glory holes have been so popular throughout the ages.

Welcome Foxy, congratulations to you all, and many thanks for doing the right thing. I'll keep this short, owing to the difficulty of typing with open arms.

Not that I'm haunting the place or anything, but I just noticed a couple of new guys on the Top Boys website. Douglas: and Felipe: Keep this up and Dolores won't be the only one flying down to Rio!

Those damned witches, queers, and Hillary, And all of that liberal frillery, Just add to the drama Of Barack Obama. Let's trundle them off to the pillory! - Fox Anchors’ Requisite Training Manual (FARTMAN)

Yes, this one is going to make me buy a new laptop.

You may very well be right. It will be interesting to see if the Senate Ethics Committee builds a mock-up of the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport stalls, just to show how it’s done. I’ve been practicing my footwork, in case they need an expert witness. http://apnews.excite.com/article/20071004/D8S2LR3O0.html Craig Vows to Stay Despite Court Loss Oct 4, 5:37 PM (ET) WASHINGTON (AP) - Idaho Sen. Larry Craig defiantly vowed to serve out his term in office on Thursday despite losing a court attempt to rescind his guilty plea in a men's room sex sting. "I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively," Craig said in a written statement certain to disappoint fellow Republicans who have long urged him to step down. . . . Craig's decision to stay and fight raises the strong possibility of public hearings - virtually certain to be televised live - centered on the issue of gay sex. . . . Craig says his actions in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport bathroom June 11 were misconstrued by the police officer who arrested him. The officer said Craig had looked into his bathroom stall, and tapped his foot and moved his hand under the divider in a way that suggested he was looking for a sexual partner. Craig denied that in an interview with the officer after his arrest. . . .

Innocent, maybe. Little, perhaps. But a prettier one I've never seen. You have a gift, mister!

A classic closet tearoom queen Is seldom heard and rarely seen. She’ll never show her arm or leg, Or tap her foot like Larry Craig. She sits quite still upon the throne, And marks the time she’s all alone. But once you flash your nine-inch bat, She’s on her knees in seconds flat.

Charmin' !

Maybe I’ll take a heaping helping of poo for saying this, but I think that most of us humans reach enlightenment a step at a time. I’m sure no fan of O’Reilly, but if he was awakened to the fact that a “black†Harlem restaurant is every bit as nice as his favorite “white†suburban restaurant, that seems like a good thing to me. Granted, he's fifty years late to the party, but he did show up and may be figuring out how to have a good time. Much as Sylvia and I may mourn his ignorance today, I will take some pleasure if he’s a smarter guy tomorrow. Now if he’d just keep his mouth shut until he gets there.

That sure is an interesting article. You just never know who's really behind the image.

Rio de Janeiro! He’s in a thread that TotallyOz posted in the Pub a couple of days ago. (Obrigado!) http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/inde...?showtopic=1744 Apparently he works for an agency in Brazil. http://www.topboysrio.com/topboys/ You’ll have to scroll part way down the page to find him, but it’s a very enjoyable trip! Where do they get all these hot guys?!

And who better than Kaique to come and demonstrate the various Member Levels: Curious Member Dangling Member Aroused Member Tumescent Member Esteemed Member Prodigious Member Olympian Member

Obrigado! Story of my life . . . But one more post and I’ll be a Dangling Member. Me too, and his name is Kaique! Talk about a Dangling Member! Woof!

Is it possible to add back the word “Member†to the descriptions? If there’s room, “Olympian Member†just sounds funnier to me than simply “Olympianâ€, and it might make more sense to those who have not read through this thread. Thanks! PS: If you agree, there's no rush at all. Your humanitarian work among the Cariocas of the Rio saunas must not be interrupted or delayed. Too much may be riding on it.

Ha! I notice that you are yourself just one post away from "Tumescent Member". Any plans for celebrating? If you were with TotallyOz in Rio right now, you could celebrate with the young man in the photo. According to the "Top Boys Rio" website, his name is Kaique, and he also does a very nice "Prodigious Member". Wish it were mine.

Well you just know there's a back story to that ad! And once you've got a line with "titillating" in it, the rest just flows.

Excellent! Olympian is inspired! I know what you mean about Tumescent. It is a long, hard word, and probably brings up different images for different people. Here's what comes up for me:

I knew you'd have the answer AdamSmith! What honorific do you think would best bridge the gap between Tumescent Member and Prodigious Member? I think I recall Andre passing through that state briefly, but words failed me at the time.
