Plenty of men have strong pheromones and the scent is not easily washed away. I can take a hot soapy shower, dry off, and still smell my armpits. People have a natural scent.

I would have handled this differently. It sounds like this was going to be the first time you met this escort. I do not hire escorts I don't know for overnight appointments. Change of plans notwithstanding, it can be a recipe for disaster. So far, almost so good. I would have hired a pet sitter to walk the dog and gone to his hotel/booked a hotel in the city. My dearly departed, beloved elderly cat needed meds every twelve hours. I hired someone to administer morning/evening meds when I took a day trip so as not to kill myself getting home by a specific time. How much closer are we talking about? A week before? Friday evening? Asking because the amount of advance notice he provided makes a difference about how I would feel about the change in plans. Going back to the principle of hiring a pet sitter, leaving at 7 to walk a dog could be a moot point. It seems like that would have made the new plans work. Is the problem here really about him curtailing the appointment to include only the overnight or about the perception that he acted like plans hadn't changed? I would not have pushed for a reason. I would have ditched the lunch date and booked a hotel closer to him or had the overnight at his hotel. I would have already planned to have hired a pet sitter, so the 7:00/8:00 would have been moot. I would not have cancelled. I think that is fair. I also would have suggested that when he said he had to be back to the hotel by 9 AM. Assuming you were not constantly texting him, that's a dick move on his part. While I agree it could have been difficult to communicate while with another client, he certainly must have had some "alone" time to communicate with you. I would not have given him a 50% deposit. He didn't "take" it. He requested it and you gave it to him. Then again, I wouldn't have booked an overnight with him in the first place. Well, the nature of a deposit is it isn't returned when you cancel. That's the point of a deposit - it is a deterrent to cancelling and compensation for lost income from declining other appointments in case you do. You cancelled and he received his compensation. That'show it works. I don't think you should feel stupid. I do hope you have learned a lesson (see below). I would not have cancelled the entire visit. I would have kept the overnight and informed him that I would pay for the overnight only, Unless I missed something, he did not expect to bluff a shorter visit for the same rate. He told you he had to be back in Boston at 9:00 AM and you cancelled the entire appointment, which consisted of an overnight portion and a morning portion. Based on what you wrote, you didn't give him an opportunity to charge for the overnight only. I would have given himself a chance to explain what was going on before I cancelled both parts of the date. Something like, "Darn, that's unfortunate. Can you tell me what's going on?" rather than "That doesn't work so I am cancelling." Additionally, I don't see him being dishonest. He said he had to cancel the second part of the date and you cancelled the entire thing before you gave him an opportunity to explain what was happening. Frankly, I don't see him having a chance to be honest or dishonest. It think you each share some responsibility for the snafu that turned into 1) a cancellation and 2) a bitter taste left in your mouth. I don't think you should get the deposit back. Agree. that's not how deposits work. I'd be pissed at myself for not thinking about keeping the overnight. So, to the lessons learned: Don't book an overnight with someone you don't know Don't pay a high deposit Don't let emotion take over. Think of a way to salvage a situation. Don't assume it is solely his responsibility to think your way out of a problem. You both can and should try to resolve problems like this.

I am actually a living, breathing skyscraper with a COR-TEN skin and a plaza at my feet. Just watch out when the wind blows during the winter! You WILL end up sliding down the street on your ass if you don't hold on.

Thanks for the intel!

No, he was not! I was hoping someone would ask that.

He previously advertised with another guy (implied to be his boyfriend in the ad) and was actually looking for a place for them to stay. If memory serves, they had supersonic travel abilities. Might want to proceed with caution with this guy. I doubt you are the only one in DFW who likes to watch. Maybe ask a couple of the Dallas guys who post here if they would be into that scene and have someone in mind.

I had a boyfriend whose endless droning on about trivial trials and tribulations would make me zone out into a trance-like state. Maybe that's the kind of BFE this guy offers? ?‍♂️

According to my dad and grandmother, Great-Uncle Kaz had several tattoos as did my grandfather. Gramma and Grampa would be 123, so Uncle Kaz would probably be 110 or so. In other words, tattoos ain't nuthun' new.

A very creative way to host a parade. I hope it is a success.

Every once in a while I review private messages, usually when someone inquires about an escort I hired in the past. It is fun to revisit comments and observations and think "what the hell were we talking about?"

I had a flat roof on a townhome in San Diego and it developed a leak where water pooled. However, SoCal seems to be in permadrought and it is likely you would never experience enough rain to cause a problem. I'd simply get the roof checked every autumn. I would be more concerned about the extent of the rehab. If the place was truly gut rehabbed, complete with new wiring, plumbing, insulation, underfloor, and exterior cladding in addition to cool floors, fixtures, and walls then it will be fine. If it was a cosmetic reno, stay away. Not sure about Hollywood, but similar areas of San Diego were plagued with flips and condo conversions that looked amazing but preserved old infrastructure.

Another option is to find a provider you find equally attractive who does not wear nail polish (assuming he wears it).

My sentiments, exactly. That is a good point.

I was being facetious. There were a lot of assumptions based on nothing and you actually gathered facts about the positions favored by escorts in your area.

What did we tell you about presenting research and facts?

think @Lucky is pointing out that a Russian search firm gathering and selling personal data and snooping on email could lead to more dire consequences than would the same activities being conducted by an American firm.

I'll tally his whacker as many times as he wants.

For me it's Nordstrom. It gets creepy when a pair of shoes or a shirt chases me around the Internet.

I am happy you did not get sick. This is a tough way to learn a lesson, but less tough than had you contracted COVID-19. As for your friends, they might need to have a talking to when the wife has recovered from whatever is ailing her.

Getting the same as you, @Unicorn using Opera on a Windows computer. I'm able to view other profiles, however.

He's been dead for twelve years and so should be his rules.?

There are also straight (and gay and bi) guys who want a friend to talk to.

Then wish him well and safe travels back to his part of the country and leave it at that.

My personal employee referral policy is to only refer individuals whom I know very, very well and who would be a good fit for the firm. I also refer people only for positions that are open to applicants outside of the firm and do not simply circulate resumes. I do that because my reputation in the firm is sterling (and I intend to keep it that way), fairness is one of the firm's core values, awkwardness in the workplace is something to avoid at all costs, and the appearance of nepotism and/or favoritism is something I want to avoid. So, were I in your shoes I'd help this individual by offering to review his resume from the viewpoint of a hiring manager.
