Some escorts are just going through the motions and that’s ok if you as the client are enjoying the interaction.

I feel like that could be said of any provider in any service profession. Admittedly, it’s nice when the service provider enjoys their work – but I don’t suppose it’s necessary. That’s the difference between a job and a vocation, in some respects.

In my line of work, I provide care for people. I genuinely care about them. But boundaries mean I can’t become enmeshed.

BFE – Boyfriend EXPERIENCE. He’s not your actual boyfriend. He’s providing the experience of a boyfriend, however.

It’s worth noting too that it’s not a SE, spouse experience. Things change for a lot of folks when relationships move from boyfriend to spouse. Sometimes even real dating is an acting game. The curtain falls once it moves on to something different – and it ain’t always a pleasant change!

I had one provider who wanted the same from me.  He asked me not to shower or wear deodorant the day of a massage.

Provider asked that of you?

To the right of the search bar at the top, there are 3 horizontal lines. Click that. Go to the bottom right and you'll see the option for imperial or metric. At least, that's what I see on mine.

Note: You may need to click the search icon before the 3 lines show up if you've just opened the page.

Well don’t I feel stupid now….

I did…I see no such setting to set.

Not sure where all of this negativity towards the boy emanates from.

Bozo had one, albeit brief, encounter with the aforementioned Mr. Gold. It was at least 8+ years ago. He was relatively new to the business. He was still escorting to pay the rent. He also occasionally danced  at Johnson's in Florida. Reno's "look" checked all of Bozo's boxes. He had the perfect body and face. Bozo had a bunch of lap dances with him. The best adjectives I would use to describe him were: naive, charming, and a lot of fun. He persuaded the "gatekeeper" of the lap dance rooms to give us the "VIP" room (normally there is a surcharge for that room). Reno was all over Bozo. Due to forum rules, I won't say any more.

Reno seemed genuinely a decent and generous person. Lots of fun to be with. Of course, since then, his fame has skyrocketed, and he has become a (minor?) superstar in the business. Glad to hear that his mother is managing his properties. Hopefully, he also has a good financial manager so he can retire from the business soon.

Good for Bozo!

He doesn't change OR age! 

He will age. For sure. He will stab himself and his portrait of beauty will vanish. Change…probably not. He’ll always remain shallow, naive, and entitled. 

This looks dreadful. 

Apparently the generic meds last night were a “nightmare.” Ugh. 😩 Some people are just difficult.

I try to be a good guest, even when I’m encouraged to make myself “at home.” I don’t see that as an invitation to be a picker.

7.87 inches is just weird

Who is that hungry for inchage they’re measuring to the 7/8”? 😳 

Everything is metric now?

While metric arguably makes much more logistical, economical, and international sense, my brain doesn’t compute that well. I can do rough math, but I’d prefer not. The imperial system used to show up for me.

Is this a setting I can’t find? Or something else?

I forgot about the meds travail part of the visit til I followed up today. She tried to get meds filled that she needed while on the road but because they are a “controlled substance” they wouldn’t fill ahead of her trip. There was a (genuine) mixup at the pharmacy near me but she had a meltdown over that before leaving. She had reported Tuesday she had issues with the meds, but I didn’t think about it til, as you see, 4:29 p.m. today.

I take generic everything. The only name-brand drug I’ve recently taken is Truvada, and when that came out under the generic, I’ve been taking that.

Is her statement “they don’t always” work the same accurate? I honestly don’t know…It would seem to me they must for FDA approval. Or work adequately the same to classify the same.

Back to the topic at hand….ditch your "friend".

She’s not a friend and I’d bet $1,000 that she doesn’t have Celiac disease.

And I’m sorry, if you’re allergic to dogs….you don’t plan a trip where you’re staying in a house with a dog for 4 days. 

Insane. 

Interestingly enough the dog didn’t bother her as much as the cats. It was so stressful to deal with her “issues.”

I totally agree there is a huge psychological component. It is real. But as has been said, I highly doubt it’s as prevalent as it seems to have become.

It’s just about opinions! 

At some point, people have expressed their opinions and it’s time to move on. No matter how many ways you state it, some people won’t ever understand your opinion let alone agree. I find in those instances it’s best to move on!

My! How this thread has deviated from the topic at hand. It seems a typical participant in derailed threads is involved again! 

@Jamie21, if I were you, I’d move on. It’s like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon struts all over the board, knocking over the pieces without any concern or a shred of understanding, and shits all over everything in the end. What do you have? Nothing but a shitty chessboard and neither of you had a chance at “winning” – yet the pigeon thinks he had a good time! 

I do feel like it’s a matter of attention for some…that “specialness.” Everyone needs to be “special” somehow.

It seems that way (if I might venture into dangerous waters) with sexuality too. It used to be, to me anyway, that gay used to be something that was “special.” There was a time even when it was a problem! Then it became in vogue but that’s pedestrian now. Then it was bi. Then trans. Then nonbinary. Then this. That. Never ending. I sound crotchety but come on…

I know guys who have gone through it all…of the sexuality stuff AND the dietary stuff. Nearly insufferable…

This belief that you need to be conventionally fit arises because so many bad sex workers have criteria or age caps on who they will see. I don’t think those guys are worth booking. Your session will be all about them. 

I’ve had those guys. It’s very disappointing.

Well said!

Avoid crowded public transit.  Take your personal vehicle.  Don't leave home without your personal firearm and conceal carry permit.  Avoid ZIP codes with high density, low income, and transient populations.  Don't visit crowded sidewalks or block parties unless you've reserved a place in the VIP section with private security.

Common sense, really.

Are you being snarky?

Never a bad idea to assess where any emergency exits are in a venue, especially if you are unfamiliar with it. 

Irrespective of the circumstances.

That’s part of the inherent value of hiring; not having to appeal to another person’s tastes and preferences, particularly with regard to the way you look.

Some providers stipulate however. As if it’s a quasi dating arrangement. I find that offputting even if I meet the “criteria.” I move on from said “provider.”

At the outset, let me say I want to be empathetic and supportive of people with whatever issues they have. I don’t think Celiac disease or gluten intolerance is fake. So let’s get that out of the way.

I had a friend visit for four days. We hadn’t seen each other since before the pandemic. She comes and before she comes she sends me an email with various dietary concerns that I need to be aware of as far as her Celiac disease and milk sensitivity (not lactose). Okay. Noted. She also has a dog dandruff allergy. Noted. I had my house cleaners over to do a deep clean, especially of her room, since I have a dog and three cats. I told them about her Celiac disease and the dog issue and that they needed to be extra attentive to the kitchen and the room she would be using.

She arrives. Proceeds to hang over my shoulder the whole I’m making duck, brussel sprouts, and oven roasted potatoes – intentionally GF. As I’m cooking, she gets in the cabinet under my sink and starts spraying down the counter and wiping it down. Lunch the next day she eats the soup and CUCUMBER she brought along and not the squash soup I made special without gluten or milk product…When it’s time to buy things for breakfast, “Make sure the bacon is gluten free.” How could I possibly forget?! I got one that was GF but – aha! – color added! I could eat but she wouldn’t. We could have leftovers Saturday night, she says. Now – I don’t do leftovers except for lunch or when I’m in a hurry in the evening. If I can cook, I cook. I tell her she can have leftovers; I’m having grilled salmon, macaroni and cheese (without a roux because I’m aware that opening a flour bag could make flour particles with gluten airborne) and spinach. She about shit because I was going to use gluten pasta. I told her the gluten wouldn’t jump up and attack her.

I work with a woman who has Celiac disease but you‘d never know it because she doesn’t broadcast it. But my friend makes her whole life about it, or at least our visit revolved around it. There must be two types of people with gluten issues. Those who deal with it themselves and try to go on with their lives and those who expect the rest us who don’t have gluten issues to live just like them if we’re going to be in any kind of relationship with them.

The past four days made me seriously consider if I’m really that difficult a person to live with, set in my ways, if I should give up ever thinking about a partnership relationship. I felt a bit gaslit to be honest. But upon reflection, while I have strong preferences and routines and habits, I don’t think this was all me.

What did people do before Celiac disease became so widely known about? It’s been known for a long time, but it seems only recently has it risen to a forefront concern like providing non-alcoholic options for folks who can’t have alcohol. If you ate gluten before everyone and their brother knew about Celiac disease or gluten issues, what happened? No snark intended (well, maybe a little).

Any thoughts? Am I being crotchety?

4) Barebones description

I’m often hesitant to hire even bi guys, so straight is a big 🚩 for me.

Entitlement much? 😑
