No it won't, and it is a lesson for us about what might be behind those odd negative reviews.

Thanks, but I'll go with something a little more user-friendly and a little cheaper.  It's not just how they look, but how they act and treat you.

To the OP, if you are relying on your tips, you are not charging enough. 

If someone is being paid some $300 an hour, usually in cash, I would be astonished if they expected a tip as well.

I love using the stick shift on my Fiat.

Thanks for the reference.  The only article I have seen that dealt directly with my question.  Its conclusion is, however, less clear-cut than yours:
"people who received the smallpox vaccine prior to its discontinuation in 1972 likely still have some protection against the related monkeypox virus and other orthopoxviruses—it's just not entirely clear how much."

Here's my question.  I am old.  I had the smallpox vaccine as a child in the early 1960s.  Am I protected today against monkeypox?

Best advice I have read in this thread.
 

You make it sound like Americans are swimming in loot.  If so, it is because we need it.  I divide my year between the US and Europe.  There are many things which are vastly more expensive in the US than in Europe. Little ones like cell phones and internet access and big ones like health care, insurance, and education.
I think the price difference we are talking about here has more to do with law and social attitudes than with "take home pay."  Guys I meet in Europe are more like the young Parisian mentioned above: they like meeting interesting men, want to have some fun, and are happy to augment their income along the way.

I'm thankful when escorts won't answer a few questions.  It keeps me from wasting my time by hiring the wrong guy.
I often wonder how many "time wasters" aren't time wasters at all.  A little patience goes a long way; it's difficult hiring an escort.  We want to get screwed, but not in the wrong way.

Providers can help cut down on the number of texts.  Don't make us ask you in separate texts where you're located, your rate, etc.  Provide this info upfront.

My sympathy.  We have all been there even though we know better.

I think a thank you after the meeting is great.  Just a "I enjoyed meeting you and hope to hear from you again." Makes me, the client, feel good.
I don't tip. Never will.  I have, however, told providers priced below market that they should charge more and, putting my money where my mouth was, paid more.
