Do you hear yourself? You cannot actually mean what you say, can you?

Just don’t engage him. Say your piece and move on.

Now, now, now, boys… Don’t pile on.

You are wrong. How do I know? The huge success of GLP-1 drugs for weight loss. Just a non-personal, non-self-referential example. Clinicians have been trying to move away from the moralistic judgmentalism remarks like yours necessitate. Obesity isn’t “all about” lifestyle and choices. The definition from the Obesity Medicine Association (and endorsed by ABOM-certified clinicians) is used to emphasize that obesity is more than “lifestyle and choices.” It states: “a chronic, relapsing, multi‑factorial, neurobehavioral disease, wherein an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat‑mass physical forces, resulting in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences.” This definition shifts the focus beyond simple calorie balance—recognizing biological, genetic, neurobehavioral, and environmental contributors. It’s widely used by clinician educators and obesity medicine experts to teach that obesity is not merely a result of personal decisions but a chronic disease requiring comprehensive care and treatment—not just “eat less, move more.” I am thoroughly sick and tired of the sizism that goes on here unaddressed as discriminatory prejudice. And I’m disgusted by the guys here who continue to engage in it and push it. You should be ashamed of yourself for your judgementalism. I have nothing more about obesity to say now at this time.

This looks like a fun eternal preoccupation 😇 I feel like that could be done…or do me 🙃

@Harrison92, thanks for doing the research 👍🏻

…did my dishes, folded my laundry, mowed my lawn… A houseboy is a sexual fantasy, right? 🤣

What classifies as VIP (Very Important Person) provider? Some providers think they’re VIPs when they’re MSPs (Modestly Significant Person). I know and believe some of the providers here are busy; but the number of escorts who clamor about not having enough to make ends mete suggests to me that more than not providers want you to think they’re busy to pressure you to book right now, immediately.

Sufficient.

No.

@Luv2play – why the 🧐?

My mind rushed to thinking how he might have regretted that statement! 🤣

Eh. Overblown worry. No one needs reminding. It’s a trite trope here. We don’t need grandma sweetly-but-condescendingly reminding of what we already know. And so what if someone thinks a provider is crazy? We are quick to malign clients here as a monolith. I’m not concerned about the straw man’s feelings. If someone’s going on about it in a way that one finds naive or whatever, one can simply ignore. Just keep scrolling. Just keep scrolling. Just keep scrolling. Escorts really don’t need defending in abstract, constructed, “what if” scenarios. Not anymore than clients.

Another interesting point. I think @Jamie21 made a similar observation about guys hiring him after having seen some of his collaborations. No matter the situation, I have learned that it’s often better to suspend expectations because you normally are disappointed. Great expectations lead to great disappointments.

In a thread in The Deli regarding the cost of hiring a particular provider, it was made mention he is a porn star. I stated that his being a porn star disinclined me to hire him in addition to his hourly rate of $1000. Two forum members reacted with 🙄 That is curious to me. I wonder why this reaction to my straightforward comment. But it did prompt me to think! What are your feelings about hiring porn stars? Those that like to, why? What’s the appeal for you? Not the general appeal we all can surmise, but for you? And if you wouldn’t, why not? My experience has been poor when I have hired a porn star. It wasn’t worth it to me to pay the premium for a porn star. His performance wasn’t what others have been, and I know some of the vibe was because he was in this sexually charged situation and was in “star mode.” I didn’t like it. I’m not saying all porn stars are like that, but I had enough of the affected types in high school and also deal with some professionally (the darlings, I call them), and I’m just not going to pay someone to be like that around me.

That’s an interesting observation. Charge more up front knowing a rehiring is unlikely? And everyone – of course a guy is free to charge whatever he wants. Why do so many here feel the need to say that? I’m not calling anyone out in particular, but it’s a frequent refrain. The point isn’t if he can charge that much; the point is if you would pay that much. I didn’t comment on if Michael Boston should charge that much; but I can confidently say, “no, I will not pay that much.” The comment about him being a porn star simply was another factor added to the mix that would disincentivize me to hire him. And now thinking perhaps charging that much is a way to make up for infrequent return clients makes me consider even more that it’s a no-go. But to reiterate – I think 99.5% of us here accept and understand that guys can charge whatever they want. That’s not at issue.

@francisssgorg $1000 is a price for more than “decent”… But like you say, if you have the money… Even if I had that kind of money, I think I would still be discriminating. Sure – I can afford it, but do I want to throw away any money on something that’s not truly worth, by a mile, what the price is? Just because you’re wealthy doesn’t mean you want to pay for something suboptimal. If that were the case, just stand in your backyard and light hundreds on fire. If it doesn’t matter…

@Gymowner– The truly rich don’t need to tell you they’re rich.

Experience, mon frère. Simultaneously my most expensive and most disappointing hire. Thanks for the condescending tone, by the way.

I wouldn’t 😂

Being a porn star, also disinclines me to hire him.

Well, that sounds like a recipe for disaster! Yes - lucky he didn’t go blind…I’m doubtful he made any cuts then and would bet he did no proofing either. He’s very lucky…

No. Commenting because this is the second time in two days I’ve seen that name spelled that way. Strange coincidence.
