Oh god no! I'd kill those little bastards if I had to spend an entire day with them.

There's been a lot of discussion here about negative comments on MN. 1) Are you able to leave positive reviews that contradict the comments of others? 2) Do you, if in fact you have a good experience with the person? The question is really open to anyone using MN, but, I'm going to tag you @Simon Suraci since I believe you indicated that you take some reviews with a grain of salt, and had good experiences with clients who had poor reviews on MN.

I once had a regular provider suggest his "friend" join our session for our standard fee. It was a bad experience/dynamic. The provider obviously knew, it wasn't great for me. When the friend went to clean up, the regular started to whisper an apology. I simply said, "we can have a brief discussion on the next visit." I wanted to make it clear that he was still going to be a regular of mine. At the next visit he insisted the session was "on him," and even protested, but finally accepted, a tip. It was the catalyst for me to never just accept a providers' recommendation alone on who a 3rd should be.

Therein lies the risk of acting as a contractor. You need to choose quality subcontractors. I pay, pay extra, and tip based on experience, attributes, skill, travel/host, and familiarity. Regular, or not, a provider who admonished me for what I paid another would recieve stern words back, and likely find himself no longer a repeat hire. As a cautionary tale: I did have a threesome once with a regular who was acquainted with the other provider. On a subsequent visit my regular commented that "X said he only got $Y." I didn't ask more about their conversation, relationship, or if money was exchanged between them. But my regular did seem pretty dejected when I told him I paid them each a total that was within $50 of one another.

Really??? "All-inclusive??? " If I counted correctly, RM has 23 "into's." I am going to go out on a limb and assume that your sessions don't include all 23 of those activities, and if you contacted a provider and requested all 23 of those activities in your appointment, it would likely be a higher price. I feel like your mindset is the ol' "my sex life is completely normal, so anyone doing more, or less, is weird, repulsive, and kinky."

EXACTLY!!! We are individuals with varied likes and dislikes. Why engage in, and pay for, the fru fru of kissing and BJ's, when all I really desire is the fuck! In every business transaction, there are customers who welcome the a la carte and ones who welcome the package deal.

Seriously?!?!? First things first, WHENEVER you start a conversation with a "goal" beyond filling time, it's not small talk. Your approach to "small talk, " as you lay it out above, reads like a get to know your group members/ice breakers dreamed up by some HR bitch at a work seminar. I know of know one who likes those activities. They coerce people into talking about themselves and sharing things they may not want to with strangers. People who have a gift for small talk begin by sharing their thoughts and opinions on benign topics. It allows the other person to share similar trivial opinions and broach topics of their own. Mastering how and when to invite the conversation to deeper levels is very much a learned skill.

Illicit drug use can be rationalized in many ways, including why one form is superior to another. Common rationalizations often include things like: it relaxes me, it takes the edge off, it makes me lose my inhibitions, it gives me a push, it let's me escape. Often "and then I can be more social" is tacked on the end of those phrases. To say that opiods and opiates are never used to calm or relax someone and thereby make social interactions easier, is akin to saying other depressants, like alcohol or THC, can't be used that same way. Any addict I've ever known was willing to sell both body and possessions, and often the bodies and possessions of others, to feed their addiction. "Addiction" is the common denominator, not "what" they are addicted to.

In my experience, anyone who believes that spending freely, pinching pennies, being rude, or being classy is limitted to a specific socioeconomic group needs to increase their sample size.

If I understand claims here correctly, PNP typically involves a downer (depressant), time for it to take effect, and then an upper (stimulant). Depressant would include all opiates and opiods. I find it unbelievable that there is a strict moral code compelling EVERYONE to NEVER substitute a downer like Dilaudid, heroin, Fentanyl, etc because it's cheaper, or they couldn't get GHB. Maybe I am just jaded when it comes to the concept of 'honor among drug abusers.'

One, or even two, folding luggage racks/stands.

I am curious to understand why this bothered you? Can you elaborate?

I would NEVER pay more for a session that ran over. It could be the start of a very slippery and ugly slope of rewarding bad behavior. I see the provider as the keeper of the time clock, and I don't TYPICALLY want them to go over time. I don't want a provider thinking they can just fill their big gap in between clients with me. I may have things to do after the appointment. They may be new, and I am already thinking they aren't repeat quality. They may be a regular, and I already know their skill level and if they are worth 60 min, 90 min, 120 min etc.

I completely understand the point. It was worth it to you, even when the price tripled. Maybe I should have been more direct in my initial reply. A "few" dollars means different things to each of us, and we all allocate discretionary funds in different ways and in different amounts. Personally, I don't have enough of a sense of entitlement to say "If these little things [Uber costs] matter to you, you probably have the wrong hobby." Much like I'd never say to someone that 'if you can't afford to hire twice a week, you can't afford this hobby.'

My take away from the "Mercedes story" was that client believed the provider pulled the ticket off a stranger's car, and then tried get reimbursement for a ticket that wasn't even his. If we should all be willing to accept and pay any "add on" fees the provider deems necessary, why even ask about a the rate to start with. Wouldn't take long for a provider to double his standard with add on fees. I look at the details of nearly every bill I pay. If there are "add on" fees that seem abnormal or excessive, I question the business, and likely frequent a different business in the future.

I didn't reach out to him. I looked at his profile. He saw that, and sent me a message with rates and various other details about himself.

I think knowing the rationale for "why" new member reviews may be ignored, or their "new" status is pointed out, makes it a little easier to swallow. So here's my take. There seems to be a propensity for providers to come on here and tout themselves with an undiscernible screen name(s). It's not a bright red flag labeling a new member as disingenuous. It's more like a yellow post-it note of caution. I certainly encourage all members to have some diligent patience and keep posting reviews. 6 months/a year from now if someone looks at your profile, and it's active, contributing regularly, or logging in regularly: 1) if someone has interest in the provider, the review will have credence and be helpful; 2) you may come to appreciate that heads up when other members throw that post-it note out on someone's review

I had cordial chat experience with him once we were able to connect. We couldn't connect via chat while I was actually in town. Based on my experience, and his advice, I would advise contacting him in advance of trying to book. He is not a "right now" provider, or even one to check his messages everyday.

NO we can't!!!! It'd likely cause a heart attack or at least a panic attack, and then you'd just have a turn it on and call 911. My god you must old! LOL! On a serious note though, my understanding is that certain phones and apps still run in the background when the phone has been turned off.

I'd buy a Faraday bag. While there's a lot of theories and testing about which technology it does and doesn't block, the test is simple. If I put move phone in it, head to the gas station, and upon returning home, it doesn't show my trip, it obviously looks like it blocks State Farm's technology. Although, I am not sure I would take just 1 trip as proof positive, and since some devices/apps save data for transfer later, I'd probably consider looking at the app in a month to make sure my gas station trips were still in fact missing.

Some people live for risk and chance, and others don't. Some don't like to kiss and tell, and others can't wait to share. Some fall in the middle on one, or both. I feel like a representative cross section will have all 3. And, as much as gentlemen here can have vastly different provider experiences and opinions, I can't imagine the strife if everyone here both hired, and then reviewed, every provider that sparked interest.

I truly wished that worked for me. For some reason, the providers I approach almost never read my profile. 🤷🏻

In my first message I always include a greeting, an introduction, a where, a when, and what, followed by a 'will this work.' Hello, Bob here. I am looking for an out-call downtown on Thur night after 7pm. I would like an erotic massage and mutual oral. Are you available for this?

I can certainly accept that logic. But, I feel like if they can go through the effort to list in-call and out-call rates, they can certainly muster the effort to key in "Uber cost added to out-call."

I was sincerely hoping for an answer or insight. My understanding was that the extra fee for outcall was compensation for travel expense and travel time. Is it not?? Is there some logical piece I am missing?
