I've been concerned that the Fed continues to pose a "hawkish" stance at this moment based on the behavior of job creation and several other points. We'll see if they raise interest rates another 25 basis points or leave it alone. I think holding off has been a good thing to properly evaluate.

Sounds like a great list. Thanks for your recommendations!

I haven't been on nearly as much over the last week with requirements. Missed this recommendation. Thank you. I have several to check out and really appreciate some of the input I have received. Thanks very much!

I think being late shows more about the provider than lack of timeliness. I learned how important it is to be on time with whatever kind of client one has, escort client or a professional client that you see in the office. I don't like being 5 minutes late. I feel the communication is, "I don't value your time". It is rare I'm late, but I call if I have a problem with being more than 10 minutes. When shown a lack of the same respect, I tend to see the client a little differently. Part of the basics of doing the job correctly.

I would concur with this assessment. I've seen it before. Not sure what there is to gain if fabricated, but I just go with the flow.

Well with being a provider, I always try and be candid, honest and straightforward with any assertions made in an ad. However, I think every person needs to approach an ad on Rentmen with some degree of suspicion. Of course, reviews help to negate some of the doubts, but I would think it better to go into an escort booking process with the reality that all may not be as it seems. Then you get to write a review!

A "beary interesting" audience!

I would agree and interesting what services a client might pay for. A regular client of mine pays me to send him a new photo of me in my underwear every day. I just have to supply him a weekly photo of 7 pieces of my underwear . Kind of fun, I keep trying to keep it fresh. Hence the one from yesterday, about laying down on the job.....lol

After authoring this thread, I now have had a perspective client inquire about my spending time with me without anything physical. He explained that "You don't have to do anything, just spend time with me. I hear you are a great conversationalist". He did admit he wouldn't mind my bearing my shirtless torso. I was a little surprised, but it became apparent that this gentleman was lonely and was looking for a fresh perspective on things in general. I didn't take it he wanted to tell me a bunch of his personal problems. I told him I would be happy to provide service in this capacity.

I hear this during dinner. How very sad. She was a great talent and very helpful sharing her fight against cancer. She will be missed. Thoughts & prayers to her family.

Now this is interesting. When I think of Tai Chi, I think of Asian fitness moves. Do suppose the gentleman and "Tai Chi moves" can yield inner peace ... haha

I had a client who booked me stressing that he was "straight, but just curious". We visited about his lack of "background" with anything gay and that I would need to "take it easy and be a teacher". I can tell you he was anything but naive. I realized immediately, it was about trying to create something that wasn't reality. The booking went well, but that his "straight, teach me" illusion was just that. Now obviously this isn't a case of "hiring a straight provider" (I wouldn't be doing that as a provider), so this is about as close as it gets for me.

I would certainly be open to providing a "tickling session". Would need to be clear what the client expected and satisfy the need, so to speak.

Really appreciate the input. Productive, positive and encouraging an evaluation of both sides of the issue. Your comment here was definitely one of the best. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I think the most difficult part is being blackmailed. I would seek legal advice from an attorney prior to doing anything. Advice from counsel would be prudent to examine all aspects of this unfortunate situation. Counsel may advise a different path and if going to the police is chosen, the attorney may suggest an approach with the cops. I do agree that a conversation with the police is a bit of a sticky situation. Regarding the latter comment above, I wouldn't ever talk to my office about this situation.

Well let me say, I don't do well with negative drama and certainly someone who is threatening me. I would probably be the first to let the dude know that I'm not subject to extortion or threats for money. But I'm not you or don't know your situation. I do think this kind of experience should be discussed. There are always two sides to a disagreement, but providing facts, like a written conversation) is helpful in proving your point. I'd certainly go to the police before I'd ever "cave" to any sort of blackmail. I just think it is unfortunate that these kinds of experiences happen.
