Great information. Thanks.

LOL If you considered me responding to your information with the correct information as rude or with an attitude, you are not really meant to participate in online forums. I stated a fact. It was not rude in any way. Good luck with your endeavors!

Profile date says Dec 18, 2011. I don't consider that a while.

Your profile only shows you registered for less than one month. If that is what you consider "been on this site for a while", you may not find what you are looking for.

Please don't misrepresent what I said. I never said it was only for rich older guys or gold digging younger ones. But, if you are unable to afford a airplane ticket to meet a potential guy that you are going to take care of and help him with his life, with school, with a good future, can you really afford him? A plane ticket is very inexpensive. If you can't do that what happens if he has an emergency and need to fly to his family? Or, if tuition is due? Or, if a medical issue comes up and he doesn't have health insurance? All of these things are important to consider before you take someone into your home, your life and your heart.

Robert Rowling, the CEO of the company that owns Gold's Gym, has donated more than $2 million to American Crossroads, Karl Rove's organization that works to elect antigay politicians, according to website Change.org. Rowling is the head of TRT Holdings, which owns the chain of gyms, popular with LGBT people across the nation, and is one of several people who are helping to get Rove's organization running. Among the candidates supported by American Crossroads are Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, who received a 0% rating from the Human Rights Campaign and Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle, who endorsed a statement that said there was no evidence to suggest homosexuality was biological and that scientists who argue otherwise are flawed. http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2010/10/22/Golds_Gym_Gives_Money_to_Rove_Org/ FYI: I canceled my Gold's Gym Membership and told them to shove it up their ass!

I am not ashamed in the least. My statement was that if an employer can't afford to fly to the houseboy for a visit, then they can't really afford to take care of a houseboy. A houseboy is a luxury for someone that can afford to take good care of him. If that person can't fly to see him, can he really take care of the guy? Really? Boys are another story. Many can't afford the ticket and need either a ticket OR an employer to travel to them. So, my statement in context was: And, yes, I have been to visit some in their locations. Some it worked great. One guy didn't show. But, it was worth my time to visit and plan a nice weekend for myself just in case this guy was going to be great. If someone can't afford to fly to see someone, they really can't afford a houseboy anyway. IMHO

We have added several new things to our Manage Photos area. You can now order your photos to show in your profile the way you wish others to see them. We have also changed the way photo uploads take place so you should be able to upload more photos with a lot more ease. We keep improving the website as suggestions come in. Michael Site Admin

Calheart, sorry but anyone who gives someone they meet online their Social Security number in advance of meeting is a fucking idiot! Plain and simple. I do not advocate advancing money. I also would never advocate anyone sharing their personal information like a SS number with someone they meet online. Or, were you offering to provide one for them as well so they can check up on you? Was this a 50/50 offer?

No they don't. If you can't give them a non refundable ticket to get to you, go and see them. Take a weekend trip and visit them near their home to see if compatible. Only do this after you have spent a good amount of time with them online and in Video. That is my recommendation. I have NEVER been scammed one time. Never. Not once. Why? I really do vett the guys that I have come to visit me. It is extra work but well worth it. And, yes, I have been to visit some in their locations. Some it worked great. One guy didn't show. But, it was worth my time to visit and plan a nice weekend for myself just in case this guy was going to be great. If someone can't afford to fly to see someone, they really can't afford a houseboy anyway. IMHO

Jonnybabe, I hope that has not been your only experience. I have had 7 houseboys in the last 10 years. One for 3 years and 4 for over 1 year. Sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. I have never had a short term guy that didn't work out because I vett the guy first. I make sure we are compatible and that things will work out the way I want. But, I also have to make sure things work out the way they want. It has to be a win/win situation for it to be long term. If you are not willing to give as good as you get, it won't be successful.

I don't think you actually realize how many guys we remove EVERY day. It is not one or two but 10's every day. Anything that is questionable, we remove. Any profiles reported we investigate. If you want more through screening, I suggest you use the Report a Profile as well as these forums when you run into someone.

I travel most of the year and while I was in Singapore last week I lost my passport book with credit cards and everything in it. There was also almost 5,000 in it. I left it in the taxi. Of course I knew what had happened as soon as he took off. (I am a bit absent minded thus why I need a hosueboy) I was very upset and thought that was the end of it all. When I returned to my hotel, the concierge called me over and gave it to me. He said the taxi driver brought it back. I was stunned. No money or anything was missing. I asked for the guy's name but they said he didn't leave one. I tipped the doorman and ask that he get the information for me if he ever sees the guy again. He was my knight in shinning armor that day.

Be leery of anyone you meet online and NEVER send advance money until you know who you are dealing with. Many scams seem to come out of Nigeria but it is by no means the only place. I am always cautions and want to meet someone before I send any cash to them. Do others not do this? I constantly get e-mails from guys saying someone ripped them off of money. But, why would you send money to someone you don't know. The way I find someone is I first fly to them and spend some time to see if we are compatible.

Obama won and he has been working on getting his transition team in place. I wonder who he will pick and if he will really reach across the isles as he said he would do. I also wonder what he will accomplish in the first 100 days. I have great hope and dreams but would hate to be wrong. We are in such a fucking mess right now, I am not sure anyone can get us out of the hole we are in. I can only hope.

Nothing in life that is good is ever easy. The harder it is to achieve, the better it usually is in the long run. Finding a perfect houseboy is one of those things. I had one for 5 years and it was amazing for me and for him. He got a full education and had a great start on his life. I had someone I adored and love to go out with and spend time with. Relationships are often not meant to last forever, especially in a gay relationship and I always know that when I approach it. We both worked hard to keep it good for both of us the 5 years it lasted and it was not easy at times but it was certainly worth it.

I hope you enjoy it here! Feel free to post in all forums! Michael
