I find that statement to be true most of the time. I have typically found it beneficial for any relationship to let the other party know that my impression of them isn't based on the specific factors of A and B, etc.
For example, if someone starts in on an explanation of "why" they were late, I usually interrupt with "the why isn't important. You were delayed, but you are here now. That's all that is important."
My experience has been that when people know I am not judging them on EVERYTHING, they are more relaxed, and consequently more honest about true details of themselves.

I don’t think you understand how math (or Russian Roulette for that matter) works, but good luck. 

Statistics aren’t shaming and they don’t care about your feelings. They’re facts.
Sex is always a game of Russian Roulette. I’m just pointing out how many bullets are in the chamber.
Best of luck.

Honey…..you let a whore into the room with the expensive antique chairs?
Your mother taught you better than that.
"Antiques are for the husbands. IKEA is for the whores."
This one’s on you. 

One of the valuable things I learned here (I believe in a post from @Jamie21) was that profiles on websites aren't just for providers. MY client profile is a great place to share what I think is important about me and our potential encounter. I list right up front what activities I am looking for.
It's been great for efficiency! Often with initial communication the provider immediately opens the topic to "I can do X," OR "I do not do X."

Well shoot. I think providers need to take CPR classes!

I went to a city/county health department tent/trailer setup in a community college parking lot. Both doses…was simple.

We wanted to get the M Pox vaccine ASAP so we went to the government clinic at a local school. It was a nice community experience, seeing people we know, and a sense that we were protecting each other. Given that COVID had been politically insane by then, it was a nice change.  

I can't imagine any intelligent escort thinking this way.  That entirely too much trust in someone you likely don't know well.
Bottom line, you protect YOURSELF first and then make judgement calls from there.
We always have to think about consequence:  It's weighing how much risk you're willing to put yourself in with how easy/accessible it is to treat what issue might crop up.

And, with what we have at our disposal now, it doesn’t really matter - we can protect ourselves in most scenarios (eg with Prep) regardless of honest disclosure or lack of awareness from our partners. Has only been a thing recently, another burden the young generation might not appreciate that older folk still carry with them. 

for every one person that is responsible & contacts their partners for potential STI exposure - there’s probably 10 more that don’t.  It’s statistically impossible for people to be routinely engaging in unprotected sex w multiple partners and not be exposed to STIs.  Indeed, the numbers show gonorrhea surging. Many don’t know they have anything & are asymptomatic- but still very capable of transmission.  
testing, while absolutely worthwhile gives a false sense of security as it’s outdated the minute the test is done. 
theres a certain level of collective denial going on among gay men, disguised as “sex-positivity” & selective information uptake to justify doing what they want to do anyway.  
get educated, make your choices & live with the consequences.  it’s that simple  

How does he know if he truly contracted HIV from that specific escort? 
Unless he was tested and confirmed negative before meeting with that escort and had absolutely no sexual contact from  the day he was tested, he can’t place blame on that escort. 
 
Keep in mind that STD\HIV tests are immediately compromised & expired the immediate moment you have sex. Hence, most guys’ test results are expired and are pointless. 
And if this guy trusted the escort’s“status”, and willing barebacked with him, who’s to say how many other guys lied to him about their status  (whom he likely trusted) and had unprotected sex with them too? 
For most guys out here, trying to point the finger on “who gave it to me”, (regarding any STD or virus)  is just as accurate as a pregnant alley cat trying to determine which “Tom’s” are the father of her newborn litter.

Archeology, anthropology, and sociology are not "social justice theory." You have little knowledge of cultures outside your own, virtually no historical knowledge, and cry "social justice warrior" when you cannot produce a rational argument. It's truly an Emperor's New Clothes situation. 

And sometimes you just have to be quiet... No matter how much you want to yell.
Like the time I had sex in a neighbor's side yard next to the garage.  Or the time I had sex in a friend's backyard of his mobile home with his partner inside.  Or the time I had sex in a storm drain beneath a public park.  Or the time I had sex in the ocean off the beach in Barbados.  Or the time I had sex in the ocean off the beach in Hawaii.  Or the time I had sex on a cruise ship in a stairwell beneath the Bridge.  Or the time I had sex in a porta-potty with my boyfriend nearby (his friend snuck into the porta-potty with me).  Or the time I had sex with a Realtor in a basement of a house he was trying to sell.  Or the time I had sex in the back of a bar in New York City.  Or the time I brought a date to my office and we had sex on the floor.
In each of those times, the excitement and the memory was enhanced by needing to bite my lip to keep from shouting in ecstasy.
We've all been there.

I plan to hire as least one, maybe 2, escorts for June 14 U.S. Flag Day 🇺🇲

Effective communication is key to a successful provider-client relationship. A good provider will expect you to ask for exactly what you want. There's no need to be shy; I can guarantee you won't ask for anything they haven't heard before. While good providers are skilled at reading clients and guiding the session accordingly, leaving them to guess your preferences isn't the best approach when hiring.

I'm thinking being caught with him just might get you sent to a "state farm."

My advice. Keep this anonymous. It doesn't make either of you look good.

This review is a testimonial for trying to do as much vetting as you can with providers.  Vetting includes (1) checking available reviews (2) trying to connect with other clients if possible and (3) limited chat with the provider to gauge their "vibe" and your compatibility.  Other providers/clients on here will do a phone session before as well.  If they have fans content, that can tell a lot about their sexual behaviors and preferences.   No vetting will ever catch every nuance or detail, but I would hope to discern some level of enthusiasm before agreeing to meet with a provider. 
None of this is critical @Rick M I've had my share of bad meetings (including my most recent one, not bad just "meh"), I try to use them as a learning opportunity for "how could I have vetted that for a better result"?
Such an imperfect science, this hobby!  Part of the intrigue is now knowing exactly what you will get beforehand, still it's disappointing when the the experience is lacking.
 
 

I would have turned around and walked away at the end of the sentence "I got the impression I was inconveniencing him" (4th sentence, 2nd paragraph), having exchanged no money.
