Was I supposed to trust the only photo that appeared on this thread? Do you set limits on your curiosity?

Maybe it's just me, but the RM website is behaving very weird this morning. Nothing comes up. I wanted to see more, because men who use the word boy to describe themselves is a turn-off. (Edit) Maybe it's Firefox. Pages aren't loading.

We already know that assholes exist among us. You don't even need to work in service to know that. Not one of us is perfect. We have all been capable of being labeled an asshole from time to time. Asshole behavior may not absolve anyone, but there is a power dynamic in money transactions. If you want the power to kick your asshole customer down in public, you can't escape the possible ramifications. It is far better for a business to deal with ugly customers privately. Nice. Even the Church can't promise that. I like your altruism. There's very little "equal" in life. Mother Nature doesn't behave that way. Selfish, horny, narcissists don't give a hoot about equal. But who gets to play judge?

Except this isn't a street fight between rival gang members or jealous escorts. In the service business, there is a seller and a buyer. One wants the money, the other has the money. They are not the same. If a business wants to keep its customers, and its reputation as a business, it has to learn how to handle some questionable or difficult behavior. I realize the ethos "the customer is always right" is about as dead as landline phones (although in truth, not quite). At a certain point that won't matter. Perception always plays a role. If your public reputation is exposed to be revenge and vendetta, good luck selling that to new and existing customers.

Turn the cheek or retribution? It's an age old dilemma.

Looks like he could be fun. Takes a very sexy photo.

I limit my usage of OF, but I've experienced what you're talking about. I had to laugh at some of the messages. It's not just OF. I received messages from Barbara Streisand on her YouTube channel, which made me laugh. Sadly, AI and bots are not going away. Much like smartphones and driver-less cars, this is the future. Sex workers want to have a life while they're making money too. With thousands of fans, you can't do that while chatting with every fan. Most people are tired of being slaves to work, especially post Covid. Here we are.

I may not be far behind. The 3rd episode had the girls camping out in the woods on their way to Seattle by horseback. Are there no infected in the woods? It seemed like a jump-the-shark moment for me, considering what their town had recently gone through.

I'm a subscriber, so I saw the piece. Not only is Frank Rich a very good writer, he is well connected in television and film production. He know a lot. What I didn't quite understand about the celebrity photo spread was are these recent photographs? It looks to me like these are photos of the actors at their current age, dressed as a character they once made famous. Did I get this right?

I like to think of age shaving as a harmless white lie (unless it's so obvious you look like a deluded fool). So many businesses play a numbers game. Most 8 oz. labeled packages in supermarkets these days are not actually 8 ounces. With certain products, numbers are perception. A 2500 watt blow dryer is supposed to be better than 1250 watts. No one mentions the tornado. A 60 megapixel camera is supposed to be better than a 30 megapixel. Nobody mentions the human eye can't see the difference. Why should a 40-year-old escort claim his 40 years, if everyone who hires him believes he's 28? These days, men and women are looking incredible for their age. If you can pass for younger, especially in a profession where it counts, why not? Actors do it every day, every audition. Even when cast, they are often playing younger characters. I think it's unfair to call escorts deceitful because they're age shaving (unless it's over-the-top obvious).

He's licensed and affordable. Thank you for the head's up.

It makes me sad when a guy puts his lack of intelligence on display so easily. So much wisdom on this board.

Yeah, maybe if you close your eyes. Not even cousins.

Whoever he is, or whatever his age, the photos are divine. Professional without looking over cooked. Styled with taste and artistic flair. What a pleasure to not see another narcissist taking endless selfies, making ridiculously posed faces, on his goddamn stupid phone.

The gym scene in NYC is very strange since Covid. Covid is still with us. Some people still wear masks when close to other people. Some people are still catching it, but hopefully not dying. Low-pay help is still very hard to find. A lot gyms can't afford to hire anyone to clean the machines on a regular basis, and some users don't comply with the cleaning rules, which now fall on the members. Risky business, even today.

Eeew, I did not get that.

Sorry to hear about your review. I love dancers, and I love the idea of them getting a good story. Their special talents deserve more eyes.

I need another translator for this thread.

It is a jungle out there. That road can get treacherous. Without naming names, I think it is important to educate, as you did here. We customers are not born knowing what a red flag means, and how to avoid them. I'm sorry to read that you got sucked into a potential money trap, and it caused some wasted time. Every self-employed person, or perhaps every service business, too, has to navigate these waters daily. It's no fun trying to figure out who is good and who is not.

What do you mean? My shower concerts bring the bath caddy down each and every time. Even the toilet seat stands at attention.

LOL. That bit of exciting porn went completely over my head.

I usually don't do live pop concerts, especially in extremely large venues. Outdoor is the worst. It is very rare for the highly paid sound technicians to get the sound right in a mega-arena. Absolutely true. I'm not that familiar with her catalog, but I loved her tribute to Barbra Streisand. Blew me away.

Even though I'm very clean, I think I prefer having the facial first, before the provider uses his hands to massage my butt hole. 😎

Wow. Very interesting guy. Smart, too. Hunk of a tall man. Lips for kissing. Eyes for loving glances. Arms for holding hard and fast. Love his marketing. "Shawn Decides." 1. Cheers to a fantasy. Great headline. 2. Captivating alpha male here for your needs. 3. Nipple Play, a nice massage, and anything wet and tight to please my 11 inches of steel. Holy shit. 4. I’m a straighter shooter. Careful use of words. 5. Create the space to please me so I can please you. What a great line. Not only is he built and handsome, able to play many character types, he's clever and smart. I wish I could afford to meet him.

I'm surprised there is no thread on this show. I often feel these days like I'm living in a zombie apocalypse. I hear the internet went bonkers on Sunday night, after Episode 2 of Season 2 aired. I managed to steer clear of any spoilers, so I got walloped last night as I finally watched the episode. Given the amount of money at sake, I'm always shocked when a successful production makes such a dramatic decision. It is so risky. Even more fascinating is the "making of" spot that HBO offered immediately after the episode aired. They pulled the rug out from every single viewer, and shocked most of us who had no clue this story is based on a video game. Am I the only one watching this show?
