I identify with several of the points here.

Bumping…

I find it cumbersome, more so than the current iteration. For all the money they must be raking in, you’d think they could come up with something more stabile.

No.

Millions and billions is simply not my world. And it’s not the world of most divorced folks either. I was actually thinking you meant something a lot different than this.

A lot to unpack there. Not all good!

Didn’t find an answer to this here so forgive me if it’s a repeat… The time stamp in RM messenger, which time zone is it set to? Is it the Netherlands? Mine? The escort’s I’m chatting with? Does anyone know?

I do believe that the fee was especially reasonable for the vacations that I took escorts on. But it is a factor in the cost. I definitely enjoyed my company beyond the sex. And some of my regulars would make poor travel companions. I wish my work paid everything (including the sex!) for a trip to, say, Australia. I’d work while I’m there too if that were included. I mean this not so snarkily either! In the age of remote work, we don’t need to be in the office. How is my working remotely, everything covered, any different than an escort doing OF with a few fully covered trips by clients? Aside from a few incidental differences, there really isn’t any. Other than it’s not my reality!

My. I lead a boring life. No one ever messages me on Grindr. I feel sort of shorted!

I have been reflecting more on this… When I hire, I hire for multiple days. I usually bring guys in as well. I have had guys go with me on vacation as well. I don’t like the one-hour sessions of fuck and go. That’s me. I accept that this is also not a “cheap” hobby. But, venting here, there seems some level of disconnect from reality with some providers. The cost of hiring is not limited to the escort’s fee: • Fee (multiple thousands) • Transportation (hundreds, potentially thousands) • Food • Entertainment • Lodging if it’s not my house And this is for multiple days. The guy gets a trip out of, meals provided. Often in restaurants. Entertainment covered. And he gets to fuck, which if they’re to be taken at their word, they enjoy doing. I mean…The escorts are making out on this. I’ve had guys tell me they can’t do a weekend for the amount I’m willing to pay for their fee . And that’s not saying anything about their transportation or food or lodging or entertainment. All covered. The fee is on top of everything else they’re getting for free during the time we’re together. And then I’m supposed to understand how difficult this work is? What, exactly, is so bad about it? At some point it’s just entitlement. Imagine if you will if the escort said, “I’ll cover the room” or “I’ll pay for dinner.” That’ll be a cold day in hell!

I’m actually a people pleaser myself and will go out of my way to make a guy feel welcome in my home. But I don’t like to feel like I’m a waste of time even before it gets to that point. And I’d like to think the “extras” I provide during the time together are worth something.

This is different than RM removing them. The reviewer should be allowed the prerogative to retract a review or amend it.

I agree with this. But you can’t demand that at the outset. It comes with time. And that goes for escorts as well as clients. A client will treat an escort well if he feels like the escort is treating him like more than an ATM.

Yeah. Because the other effects would be extremely detrimental. Like it or not, it’s a societal issue, not a personal one. The original goal was to flatten the curve so hospitals weren’t overwhelmed, not to stop the disease outright. As long as the hospitals aren’t overwhelmed, we as a society are pretty okay accepting death. That’s true across the board. Now that we have vaccines and therapeutics that mitigate the need to go to the hospital, we’ll see less and less concern about COVID. And I welcome that. Of course the death toll is sad, but so is the death toll of war, gun violence, drugs, car accidents, abortions, suicide, beat maulings, etc.

That can be said for any airborne pathogen. But we don’t wear masks constantly for every disease. The level of risk has decreased significantly since the start of the pandemic. You can wear a mask of any sort if you like, but the benefit provided by requiring them is no longer great enough that everyone should be required to. The disease is here and isn’t going away. Even the KN95 and N95 masks reduce transmission, not eliminate it. So there’s no escaping it. The best defense is to deal with infection, not staving off transmission completely. That’s why vaccines are best. They make sickness less severe. Because sickness is going to happen.

Eh. I don’t wear a mask. I don’t believe either extreme is right. We don’t need masks anymore, those of us who have all the boosters and possibly have had COVID.

People aren’t wearing masks because the vast majority are vaccinated against the worst effects of the disease. You’re drawing a false equivalency. At any rate, I’m done with your “points.” It’s pointless.

You’re not listening…The vaccine isn’t sold as preventative. You’re talking past. Furthermore, I’m pretty informed on the COVID situation, including Israel and Europe. Israel, for example, isn’t saying not to get vaccinated. Because that’s a ludicrous idea. They are, as you say, at the forefront. Because it makes a difference on the scope of the disease’s effects. That’s hardly difficult to understand. And I haven’t gotten the monkeypox vaccine yet. So you’re assumptions are wrong. Again. Batting 1000 here 😉

I could use a margarita 🍹

So there! I tremble! 😂 Such a mindset is why we have a problem. Imagine if we approached monkeypox this way! 😂

Yeah. I hoped you’d see it. And your remarks here and on your profile don’t jive. Thanks for taking the time to read here and ignore my original question to you. So again: why the eye roll emojis? I don’t deserve something in return for sponsoring you as an escort? Are you entitled to it? If you have all the time in the world, as your site says, I hope you tell your fellow escorts how they can manage their time better. They seem hard pressed for it at every turn.

You don’t need sources when you’ve created a narrative (or bought into one) that fits your preferences! Duhhhhhhh…

He didn’t tell who this published immunologist is or what he’s published. I call BS. Oh. I forgot to mention. I have a published immunologist friend too who I was talking to who said that perfectly healthy people can and do get COVID and eventually die. So there’s that.
