I'm not moving any goalposts. You're presuming to know where someone ELSE's goal posts should be. The vast majority of businesspeople in setting their prices are not merely aiming to "make ends meet." They want to get ahead. This kid is setting his price at a point where he's willing to do business. There are always multiple price points at any type of service.

You're not factoring in risk assessment. It's a job with a shelf life for most, also there's the danger aspect of meeting unknown people and possibly law enforcement.

He notes in the ad it's not his full-time job, so he may not be operating in the typical market space. He's got something that's unusual and there are likely SOME customers who will pay a premium for that. The fact that most people don't want to pay that for him doesn't mean there aren't enough people that will to keep him in business.

um...are you new here?

Was that the Devon who had the blog and would talk about his 400 lb client?

If hormones were the only advantage between cisgender men and women, steroids would have closed the gap. They never came close to doing that. I think ultimately a new category is warranted for top-level sports. That said, some horribly anti-trans activists are using this issue for their own broader ugly purposes and that needs to be called out.

Yeah they've heard it all; they're not going to be offended if you ask, the worst that happens is they say no or they quote you a number outside your budget...

First place i saw a stripper. Rob Lee was his name.

Adonis has been on a Wednesday hiatus for a few weeks, not sure when they are starting back.

Meh, don't studies show that in prison and other all-male environments with no other outlet, about a third will dabble? I'd guess that's the rough upper limit on this trend and the sharp increase simply reflects how rapidly general acceptance has increased. A greater fraction of the population feels they don't have anything to fear by being out.

Given the prices and that New Paradise is completely legit, I would not expect any extras at this new spot.

Any current Utopia recs?

From what you've posted, I do think that it appears you are more bothered by the downsides of the profession than most. I'm not saying these "clients" aren't flakes; I'm saying it's something that's not likely to change and you probably need to find a strategy to slough it off because always being pissed off, regardless of justification, is likely to have negative spillover effects on both the business you do get and your everyday life.

I wasn't under the impression Missouri was a particularly good state to be black in period, much less as an escort.

What kills me is when people over 60 with other conditions say stuff like this. I'm like, "You're not going to be around long enough for that to be a concern for you anyway, amd COVID is a particularly nasty way to go."

Sounds more like he's bisexual but heteroromantic. Which is absolutely a thing. Lile the famous line: "I said I'm ATTRACTED to men; I didn't say I LIKE them...:

The Linq Spa is now co-ed so nothing's gonna happen there.

I can report back thar Planet Hollywood's spa is not good. Just not good period. Steam room was tepid, water was ponding on the benches which meant you couldn't sit down without your towel soaking through. Sauna similarly wasn't very hot. only two other people were there and they weren't cruising.

It's really moving the goalposts on the definition of rape to characterize prostitutes' regretting their decision to engage in prostitution as rape. Being talked into something is not the same as being coerced into it.

Bi men married to women have been hooking up in steamrooms for generations. Straight guys for the most part tend not to go to spas though they occasionally do. You can typically spot them because they're wearing knew length shorts in the hot tub. It's very hit or miss and not a sure thing at all at these places, though some are busier than others.

Mandalay Bay is most likely to be cruisy. Most of the spas have cut back hours and some are only letting you in if you get a treatment so it's worth calling ahead to see if they allow day passes.

Caesars is doing everything they can to de-cruise the spa. Jacked up the admission price, implemented a time limit - $150 for 2 hours total. You get 3 if you buy a service. I'm sure stuff still happens, but you can't just hang out there for a morning or afternoon like you used to. Most of the spas have potential but are increasingly hit or miss these days.

Restaurants and retail do not require a HS diploma. I'm not saying it would be a great job, mind you. Just that the subset of women who get picked for the Playboy Mansion are not generally unemployable.

It's possible for both things to be true...Hefner was a manipulative jerk, and most if not all of these women had other options that they were choosing not to exercise. An attractive able-bodied young person can generally find A job that will at least keep them off the street.
