If he appears to be distant, my recommendation is to leave the door open, but leave the ball "in his court". Move on and look for another escort. A couple of things. He may be dealing with issues you don't know about, maybe family considerations or something he hasn't shared. Don't automatically make assumptions. On the other hand, you have your life to lead and communication is key in these situations. I'd look for someone else. If he sounded positive during your time together and possibilities for the future, take it at face value, but use what has happened with others and encourage good communication before, during and after the trip. You sound like a very reasonable client. I hope all goes well in the future.

I commented earlier in the thread and mentioned I appreciate getting tipped. I received several "larger" tips during the holiday season from primarily regular clients. I'm always appreciative, but I never allow it to impact the quality of the service provided. I have a regular client that doesn't tip or rarely. We talked about it once. He just doesn't do much of that and I don't judge him or anyone based on their views.

This past summer, I had a chance to check out two additional of Utah's awesome national park options, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. The Bryce experience was the one I was waiting for as I had been encouraged that direction by my Dad some year's ago. The weather was amazing in the low 80's, clean areas and not too many visitors. Stayed in Bryce Canyon City. The only issue there is the whole place seems to close down about 9:00 p.m., so if you get in later, no restaurants are open. Bryce isn't too large, but the sights are amazing. Loved the trails and people were friendly. Had been to Zion when I was a toddler, so I remember nothing. Had been encouraged to enter from the east side of the park (which clicked well coming from Bryce) by another COM member here and it was well worth it. The northern part of the park is only accessible via bus and not by personal car, but it was awesome. Didn't stay longer than about a day and a half as temps were about 110 in the area. Did explore the "northwest passage", some of which fell outside of the park. Overall a fantastic experience and would encourage anyone to go if you get the chance.

Really no negative experiences beyond having clients cancel or reschedule. I had one experience where the client was preoccupied with a personal issue. These aren't "negative" per se. I always try and learn from any experience , positive or challenging. Lets hope 2025 is a celebration of good vibes and interaction!

While 2024 was a very good year, wishes to all for an outstanding 2025. Hope it is full of positive energy along with health and happiness! My beagle wishes a great holiday too.

And for some, the best thing is simply remain silent

I can see both sides with this discussion. I think some flexibility is a good approach when reading profiles, but if you are specifically looking for a better than average endowment, he is advertising he has that and in reality he doesn't. I can see where that might be a problem for you. Some things are factual. If you were wanting a hire a twink and you contacted me, I wouldn't qualify, I'm a hairy dude. It would be false advertising otherwise. But if someone said he was 8 inches and he was in fact 7.5, well it's up to you on how to approach that. I try to be straightforward with my own profile to avoid this kind of thing. I would suggest a discussion with any provider on this topic to make sure you are getting what you want.

I'll express my opinion on any topic I wish as you may. As I said above, I come from a different place and it quite differently.

Dude, you clearly have no clue as to basic financial, investment or estate planning. I live in the world of the serious when it comes to these topics and I'm not interested in any kind of "fetish" that puts ones economics in jeopardy or at risk. If you have a different point of view, you are entitled to it. I come from a different place.

No dude, irresponsible financial behavior like this isn't a "fetish" in my book, its just ill advised and contrary to ones financial health long term. Enough said.

Quite interesting situation. My only thought is the importance of communication. Since you are getting to know him along the way, communication at all levels is vital for success. "Tabling it" was the only error in my view. I'd "reopen the case" and try and nail down all the major points BDFORE starting the trip. Sounds like you are both reasonable and open to the others opinions and concerns. No doubt you can make it an incredible experience. Make it work for a better one in the future too!

I think this runs contrary to every fiber in my being... based on education, career and common sense.

As a provider, I would be beyond embarrassed as well. A couple of things I might mention. He could have cleaned himself up very thoroughly in advance and bodily function being what it is..... it cam happen! One personal experience I had. I was meeting with a great client ad we were involved. I'm very clean and he had me in several positions while bottoming. While in one, I developed a hamstring knot, which hurt like holy hell. We had to stop. I realized I couldn't continue and he wasn't happy. That was in June of 2021. Even if I could have continued with the client, I probably would have had to check everything as the hamstring issue caused a bunch of stress on me internally. I could have had the same problem your provider did in that case .. perhaps. The good thing is, I saw the client several more times all of which were successful and he was very happy. Sometimes there can be exceptions.

Most cards are a thing of the past. I send out 100 imprinted cards, but personally sign them all in connection with a separate career than my work as a provider. I do about 25 personal Christmas cards. Many people just don't do them anymore with postage costs and the price of a good quality Christmas card. I do it because it makes me feel good and I always go the extra mile....... and it's Christmas.

As a provider, I certainly don't look at a client in a derogatory manner or as an ATM. I'm a professional (by nature). You gain clientele's trust by doing a good job with repetition. You show up with a positive attitude and on time. You approach and complete the time booked with energy. If you do a good job, you develop a reputation, especially if one is honest, candid, communicate well and show empathy toward his client. And by the way, this holds with any career path, not just a provider and his booking.

Not into the PNP scene. If you are not, I'd just bypass those who list it. It is your choice on what you want with your booking. There are many other escort options available in which that isn't a preference.

As a provider, being hired in the middle east might be interesting, but the reality is, not worth the risk.

I remember the discussion, I believe I initiated it! Happy holidays!

Busy holiday period with clients, but I am "on vacation" as a provider on Christmas day. I usually have requests for the day, but I do think the holiday should be reserved for rest and time with family and/ or friends. Many wishes to all for an awesome Christmas and a positive and successful 2025!

I have been asked to provide change once and I did so. It wasn't a big deal. Generally the client has it counted and ready.

My suggestion is that you find out why he was in prison and the circumstances. "Being in prison" can mean a whole lot of different things. The assistant manager at my gym was in prison for something related to theft. He is very good at what he does and we get along tine. Of course he has a regular job, not an escort. I'd get facts and talk to him about his background and what happened. Make your decision with eyes open.

They like me, I know they appreciate my time and efforts. They give me tips for time and work completed.

You are awesome, thanks for that.

It shows nothing except someone who wants to create an issue when in this instance there isn’t one.

You remind me of an opposing counsel trying to argue his client's position in court. You certainly have your opinion and I have mine. I provide the service, One needs to be aware of emotional attachments and be candid and straightforward about undue personal attachments. In my business it isn't a problem. Enough said.
