Aedo

Update on the situation is that he just ghosted. He ignored my follow up text, but he did reply on RentMen when I sent a message, so he is just choosing not to reply to my text messages. I don't recall a situation like this happening in the past. Good communication and a good, positive vibe in text, but then he just skips our appointment and ghosts. I suppose the generous interpretation is that he felt embarrassed about skipping our meet. I don't know.

We agreed to meet tonight, and he ghosted. I may or may not give him a second chance.

I'm surprised no one has commented on this, but it's clear that his face pics are all photo-shopped heavily. AND some of his photos are set in mock-photos of new apartment complexes (those photos in Latam always have fake picturesque scenes outside the windows. I.e. photo #6)

spending some time massaging my neck. Most don't do it, but it always makes me feel like the masseur cares about me when he does that.

I met someone like that last year -- he wasn't quite as bad as what you describe, but he spoke with this cockiness that he seemed to believe justified a pseudo-laziness. Was a terrible experience.

This is having me thinking about booking my September trip now. The miles prices haven't been increased yet from where they were in December when I last checked.

That's not a helpful way to look at the present situation though. When every other vessel is sinking while yours is just getting a little water on deck, you'll take it. Gold and Bitcoin already ejaculated, so they need time to recover. TLT isn't a surefire bet because we could get stagflation. Oil stocks are still doing well, but they are already leaking pre-cum and might soon ejaculate. 4% CDs aren't half bad. TIPS and I-bonds are good, but they aren't liquid short-term plays. Some prefered shares I own (SCE) are yielding 7.75%, and I may increase my position in that slightly. I'm earning about 7% yield on my stablecoins, but those are higher risk so I'm not loading up on them. In general I think you want a cash position now, even if you are technically losing to inflation.

I had an amazing experience with a Lima masseur this past month (https://elmasajedetaylor.com/sobre-mi/). The massage has an exclusively erotic focus. I came away from the experience sexually drained for at least 2-3 days. Taylor is very sexy. He was a bit strict in our initial correspondence, but was very kind and caring in-person, and I appreciated him doing our massage beyond his usual work hours. The massage is done on a floor mattress, in a sparse room with sensual lighting and 2 wide mirrors that let you see all the action. It is a very special experience, one that I will repeat every time I visit Lima.

Would not touch this guy with a 10-foot pole. Our conversation tonight: "Hey, would you like to meet tonight?" "No, I'm working, how about Sunday or Monday?" "No, I can't. Have a major surgery Monday morning." "Can you Zelle me money then?" Legit shocking.

This seems to be the best solution I can see.

I think I added a bit too heavy on the way down this past month into Microsoft, Meta, and Adobe, as I am wont to do. I did that with Bitcoin in 2022 as well. I am writing down in my finance journal that I, personally, need to wait for some sign of genuine capitulation. Two such signs are (1) the stock doesn't move despite bad news or because of being hammered by Cramer et al. and (2) when the rest of the market craters, the stock doesn't budge. Recently, this was Novo Nordisk. While the rest of the market plummeted the past 2 weeks, Novo hasn't really budged out of the $35-$38 range it formed a few months ago. So now I feel better about Novo Nordisk, and I should have waited for those signs before I invested at $45-$50.

I interacted with him tonight when seeking a massage. I don't want to say he's rude (he was keen to debate something, then just got upset and condescending when I engaged with him), but he has a very short fuse and very thin skin. I think the words I would use to describe him are "condescending" and "inconsiderate" and "closed-minded". I found two things somewhat interesting: (1) Apparently I have written too many escorts and then not met them for whatever reason, so on ClientEye I am now an official "Timewaster" despite meeting 1-2 escorts/masseurs a month for the past 1.5 years. The most common reasons I don't meet someone are a failed price negotiation, communication style that suggested I wouldn't like him, slow communication, or later seeing that he smokes/does drugs. Occasional reasons I don't meet someone are that my work pulled me away, reviews here sway me against meeting him, he doesn't have a massage table, I was concerned about a pic he shared, or he were staying at a bad hotel or in a bad or far away location. I have never invited someone over and canceled last minute, and I have never not paid someone. Only twice have I confirmed with someone and then backed out, once for work and once because my gut wouldn't let me go through with it. So my conclusion is that this ClientEye thing is being abused, and is a way for providers to get back at a prospective client whom they failed to secure. It'd be like if a catty salesperson at a jewelry store was upset that a potential customer didn't end up buying a diamond ring after asking a few questions and had a means to bad-mouth them to other jewelry store salespeople. And (2) This is the second guy I have interacted with this year who had this idea that "The escort is always right and is always a good person but clients can be dangerous and bad people". I find this perspective so batshit crazy it's hard for me to even wrap my head around what would lead someone to think that. I suppose one might also call him bi-polar, because in one sentence he said he was happy to reschedule for tomorrow, and then 10 seconds later wrote to never contact him again or else he would report me to the police. I would echo DallasOne's sentiments and avoid this one.

I met him last week. Overall, I had a positive experience and would likely repeat in 6-12 months. Negatives: His massage is sub-par (a 5/10 on my scale, where 5-7 is an enjoyable amateur-level massage). He showed up 2 hours late, and his excuse was pretty terrible. I almost turned him away, but decided I would just lose a bit of sleep and see how it went. I told him I'd give him a massage in the future to help him improve his game. He was impressed with my massage candles and might invest in them in the future. Positives: He's sexy and looks exactly like his pictures. I don't know if "nice" is the right way of describing him, but we had a good rapport. He was sensual enough to make me happy, and the sex was great.

EDIT: I wrote to say that I found the "friendly and flirty" at first and then "punctilious" later to be accurate. But because I didn't meet him, I decided to delete my longer account of my interaction with him.

They indicated that they were requiring a "minimum investment of $800" for, I'm not quite sure what, but something. Hopefully for something that would connect me directly to the sacred. The angels in the Bible weren't very good entrepreneurs.
