I have a face picture on this site and certainly have had one on my RM profile. Now if someone doesn't that's their prerogative. He might not get very many inquiries, but certainly their right to do so.

Once I decided to get into the business, it was pretty wild. Most of my early clients were "referrals" from the three friends who encouraged me to do it. I learned, was comfortable and was busy with more. Joining RM was just a part of the process over time. For me, this journey has been remarkably positive, I can only count a few negative experiences and I always try and see the "learning process" out of each. What was missing for me was the ability to chat with others with like experiences and share. This site has certainly helped with that. I've been impressed with the professionalism and dedication by the board to this site's success.

Interesting topic for sure. As a provider, I would certainly want to be considered for a second chance had their been a problem. Any person can have a physical challenge during "work time". In this case, I would think the provider should be aware of the earlier concerns and have a chance to redeem himself. Good for you for thinking this way. I hope you will take the time to report back if you do have that second opportunity!

Looking forward to all this stuff, pool time and hikes, sounds great. Shopping is great as well.

Well said, I started this journey with 3 major supporters who had encouraged me to get in the "business" and then finally did. I have a busy agenda each day, but my work in this "field" goes on as a major sideline to my day. When I stumbled upon this site last month, I was thrilled. Some great guys here who have reached out and shared their experiences, all different and all important. If I have questions on a personal basis, I am comfortable with reaching out to those. Looking forward to chatting up more and meeting in person with various social events.

Interesting update. I would think anyone charging extra "for the facility" (as an add on) would need to be disclosed in advance. I can see it could make sense, especially in cities with limited space or high rates due to conventions or other events that limit hotel space. Since we all disclose our hourly rates, any additions should be made clear in the beginning I would think.

First, congrats on taking the initiative and working out to the degree you do. Few people are driven when it comes to health and exercise and so I'm always impressed when I meet people who take it seriously. So have you had professional training with a trainer and been given a professional evaluation? My suggestion is that you seek out a trainer with a strong background in dietetics (needn't be a registered dietician, but someone with a background who is also certified as a personal trainer . You have to be comfortable, but the point they need to understand you, your health background and lifestyle and get some prudent evaluation based on you. Guessing isn't a good idea and may seem frustrating. I'm all about getting input from 2 trainers with my specific goals, but let their expertise work for you. Yes, it will cost money, but if you are serious, gaining a support system like this won't only give you important information, but some education on the goalsetting process ahead. Make it positive and I wish you all the luck in obtaining your goals!

It is a challenging process to learn and go through the hoopes necessary for success. There is so much more than good looks, the social aspect, communication, marketing and the confidence necessary to make it a success. In an environment filled with flakes, consistency is key. Those who are diligent yield successes.

Beyond the St. Christopher's metal (from my mother), not really into anything other than watches or a tie tack. I used to wear one ring that my mother made, but I had to have it cut off my finger as I was a kid when she made it. I haven't had a ring since. No kinds of piercings

I would say I am very normal or typical with this topic. We all have times we suffer from depression related challenges. I seem to allow myself a little time, then I get busy and I mitigate the circumstances (unless a death of a family member or the like). I have found that being productive is essential in getting things back on a positive track, but again, I don't suffer from any serious issues. Clinical depression is something I've not experienced and would rather not. Being an optimist is where I'm comfortable.

I'm sure I'll be ready for some time around the pool for sure!

Appreciate the dedication and I agree. The only thing I can ever equate to my dedication to fitness is the need to floss my teeth every night. I don't sleep unless I floss. That got engrained years ago by a dentist who happened to "speak" to me the right way. The same thing about fitness. My experience comes from lower back pain that came from years riding & showing horses (and riding without a saddle). Had serious lower back problems while in graduate school and my doctor made it clear that I can either live life by drugs to relieve the pain or choose a different path, a prudent path. Change my lifestyle to a very active one to relieve the pain. I can say I chose the latter and have very little back issues of any kind. Good genetics helps and am dedicated to the "mind-body-spirit connection. Our guests on our podcast program only reinforces my beliefs every day!

Well being a fitness advocate (and seeking balance in all areas), I was immediately interested in the term "Body spirit". I'd like to hear his philosophy about the "spirit" part and what his philosophy is on enjoining all. Not questioning his validity, he might just approach it a little differently than I have been educated. Very interesting for sure.

You sound great, and as a client, you should expect the same from an escort!

So, September here, a little late to converting to my fall fitness plan. Time to review goals and some new ideas I have for my exercise routine. That includes my all important "morning cardio (and a little weight training) component in the morning. Good diet and dedicated exercise is so important to me. Just curious, if you escort, do you have dedicated fitness time? I always cringe when I have to compromise that time with client requirements, but life is a balance. It does seem to work.

Interesting conversation, but an important one to have. I think "on the clock time" should be agreed in advance. That includes point of focus. With so many people working from home (or anywhere else), it makes it easy for an escort with a "day job" (so to speak) to double up. I think that needs to be a point of negotiation or discussion and if is a consideration, the escort should discuss (and maybe the client ask about such distractions). There isn't a "right or wrong", just agreement by both parties as to expectations. What about payment for travel? Most escorts may require to be compensated based on mileage, but some may set it on billable time. Again, agreement in advance.

I suppose there is a market for everything. I think is "muscle worship" alone is the focus, then let it be a paid option by those interested! Probably more successful in a large metro area than a smaller city or rural area.

You probably won't like my answer. I'd always be polite and (fi you are so inclined) ask him if he'd consider another booking. As far as a threesome with his photos, I'd pass. Too much there and not enough "return" in my mind.

I don't remember that impression, but it was my first time there as an adult and we were on our way west the next morning. No complaints about the overnight stay.

Hey Danny, we've never covered "sleep" on our fitness podcast in the 9 seasons we have produced the show. I've always planned to get a sleep specialist o the program. We've covered so many other topics. Yes, sleep a critical component of an effective fitness lifestyle. I do quite well when well rested and only fair to good if less. Just need to shut the mind down when I have much going on! lol.

I used to pass on the self checkout. I really don't mind it much now as I am able to focus on each item and the savings they claim are associated with each. If not, I ask questions. Going through a regular line is fine as well.

Shiprock, west of Farmington last September.

I agree, I'd rather pass on the whole damn thing.
