I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such negative experiences in this forum. I have to say, my own experience has been quite different, though I’ve been a member for a shorter time than you.
I see forums like this as places to exchange information and ideas. You’ll come across perspectives that align with yours, and others that don’t. Both can be valuable, either reinforcing your beliefs or encouraging you to consider different viewpoints.
Like any public space on the internet (or in real life, for that matter), you’ll encounter all kinds of people, from thoughtful, knowledgeable, and helpful individuals to the unkind, aggressive, and what we now call “trolls.” These have existed since the days of IRC, they just used to be called a**holes.
That’s where the ignore or block function comes in handy. I personally prefer blocking, but as far as I can tell, this forum only offers the ignore option. While you’ll still see that the ignored member posted something, you won’t see the content of the post, nor will you receive notifications or messages from them.
In the end, it’s up to you to not let those types of users get under your skin. Focus on engaging with the better side of the community. There’s a lot of knowledge and support here if you tune out the noise.
I hope your experience improves as you build up your ignore list and start enjoying all the good things this forum has to offer.

I agree with the advice shared above, if it’s just a couple of items, the best approach is to simply remove any tags or packaging. In this case, since your friend is flying in from Colombia, customs typically isn’t too concerned about a few Louis Vuitton pieces if you know what I mean. I travel from South/Central America to the U.S. at least 4 times a year, and the only time I recall being stopped was when I had an empty suitcase. For whatever reason, that raised a red flag. They ran it through the x-ray and then let me go without any issue.

The forum is keeping it real with KevinKeepsItReal.
I’ll let myself out.

If by "falling in love" you mean can you develop feelings towards an escort in which neurotransmitters in the brain like dopamine, serotonin, & oxytocin are released that reinforce feelings of pleasure, reward, and bonding -  yes, you can fall in love with just about anything or anyone, including people, drugs, etc.  But obsessing over another human being who only sees you as a walking ATM is an exercise in frustration, as you've correctly observed. But, to answer your question: yes, I have fallen in love with an escort - and it was painful, frustrating, EXPENSIVE - AND enjoyable all at the same time. Enjoy your guy, but occasionally remind yourself that "infatuation is hopeless" and that some day this relationship will end, and not kindly. 

Falling in love with someone isn't an "accident". We don't schedule and plan love. It just finds its way into our consciousness. But falling "in love" with an escort is typically a false love produced by an infatuation. The physical attention you get, paired with a physical attraction are triggers for relationship material. Unfortunately when you are PAYING, its all performance, not passion. So your "love" is no more real than their acting. You feel it. Its there..but its not genuine, because true love requires a circle, not a wallet.

I don't feel comfortable sharing specific details of this relationship, but I’ll give some examples to illustrate the situation. The manipulation started with comments like “I don’t think of you as a client anymore,” “I have very strong feelings for you,” “I only feel safe when I'm with you.”.... And so on.
Regarding the money, every time I hired him, which sometimes was multiple times a week, he was paid his standard rate plus a generous tip. He also spent time with me off the clock, during which we would go out to eat, prepare meals at home, enjoy drinks, and have long conversations. Then the “extra” money requests began. It started with statements like, “It’s been a really slow month, and I'm really worried about my rent.” After injuring his shoulder, he needed help with the deductible, and because it was difficult for him to work, he required assistance with his monthly expenses. Every month, there was a new reason for needing extra money and every time the amounts were higher. When I finally started cutting back on the money, he began mistreating me. The first time I refused a money request for a trip to see his mom, he went ballistic, stormed out of my house, and shouted all kinds of insults that I prefer not to remember. And that, folks, is all she wrote.
I remember my mother telling me that the problem with helping people is that the first time you do it, you generate gratitude. Then you create anticipation and expectation, which turns into entitlement and dependency. Finally, when you stop helping, you receive hatred and resentment. This situation perfectly illustrated her point.

I just hope he’s not in the mood for a walk in the rain.

What, @Vegas_Millennial, they didn't add a 10% gratuity? They weren't even trying!

I see the D size and posted age more as wishful thinking than an accurate reflection of reality.

You might want to give Hunqz a try, I've had good results with it across Europe. A quick Google search also brought up escorta.com, though I don’t have any personal experience with that one.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. As a father myself, I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing a child, or how I would even begin to cope with such a loss.

I understand wanting to be appreciated, but this feels a bit off to me. The tone comes across as resentful and borderline petty. Tipping should be a gesture of gratitude, not something tied to a mental checklist or used to quietly punish people. Clear communication and fair pricing go a lot further than vague expectations. Just my two cents.

Thank you for all your hard work, migrating a site like this one is no small task, especially without prior notice.
Would you mind sharing the name of the previous hosting provider? While it's understandable that a host might take issue with a site like this, abruptly shutting it down without warning is both  inconsiderate and very unprofessional.

While I usually agree with you, it’s important to understand that tipping culture in the US is very different from the UK and from much of the rest of the world, for that matter. Here, tipping has become expected almost everywhere and for nearly everything. You can even go to a grab-and-go kiosk with a self-checkout, only to be presented with a screen asking for a tip. In my opinion, it’s gotten completely out of hand.

I think it does help to have a thick skin. It feels like some people are delighted (looking for it) to be offended. My view is if someone is behaving badly it’s their problem not mine, I’ll ignore them, or if I’m feeling mischievous I’ll wind them up a little bit more, just for general amusement. 
If you’ve engaged in ‘discussions’ on Twitter this place is a kindergarten by comparison. People are generally civil, it’s well moderated and uplifting / informative. 
 

Not necessarily. Not all bottoms are "sub." There can also be a power bottom.
If there are providers that do call themselves "sub," then usually that means they're submissive and you can expect some dom/sub interaction. But always make sure to chat about the expectation before setting up your session. Just because someone calls themselves a sub doesn't mean you can go free-for-all.
