If you’re contagious, I’d want you to cancel. if you’re not but afraid you’re not up to your peak impression, I’d contact the client, explains the situation, and let them choose

I don't know about the "receptive" part, but look into Jamie. I'm guessing low/mid 50's https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/3640/

I understand your position. I do apologize for my harsh comments. I think we have different styles in our approach to these guys. So, styles aside, let's be objective: Transactionally, you're essentially asking him to abstain from activity for some period before you, for, depending on how you look at it, $400 or $120. Let's say he had, as you note, multiple encounters the prior day. Two, maybe three - you're asking him to give up $800-$1,200 or more with no premium paid by you. That's unreasonable in my opinion and as a capitalist who makes money with his time, I understand where he's coming from. This is a world of unmet expectations if one is simply willing to pay average prices. I think, as a business man, @Alex_Twink made the right call.

Actually, I was addressing another member - but you're right. TBH - Not sure I care though

The guy has rave reviews from all the other responders but you. Maybe you should ask yourself why that is.

To me, he's complaining about getting "bumped" when he made himself an undesirable engagement. If there were better options, I'd have taken it too. Disrespect doesn't breed good experience - and now he's blaming the object of his disrespect and playing victim!

Fine. Give a review on your experience....but don't treat the guy like a dolphin jumping for a $120 fish!

I can see the pressure he might have felt and why he might have prioritized other opportunities. Do you think these guys are circus animals responding on command?? @Alex_Twink, good for you!

So what would you offer in response?

I’d go for it

My head went first to “Spitzer” too But, what a terrible screen name!

The tone has equal sense of both arrogance and tone deaf ignorance. his issue will be a very narrow niche.

You mean back when all federal tax was paid by less than 2,000 people and the lion’s share was paid by Rockefeller?

Sound investments rarely eat, drink, or require protection from moisture and humidity 😉

Collectibles - particularly stamps and coins - are a potential hedge against inflation…BUT, it’s usually the highly sought after items that perform best. i prefer art. And judging by a recent art buying trip trying to add works from my favorite living artists, I need to double the insurance on my collection vs the amount I chose just five years ago.

😝

yohimbine...but it has side effects

@AngusStevensxxx, I look forward to our next trip together. You’re smart and a lot of fun

I highly recommend you spend some time with him and see what a good guy he is.

Unbelievable. @Admin, is it pizza time?

Maybe you can guess why my comment is gone. 🤐

I check mine regularly. Clean as a whistle. I guess that’s because I treat humans like I’d like to be treated.

I use it. I learned of it here. It also blocks known spam calls. interesting that you say providerS, right?

Honestly, I don’t believe you. But it doesn’t matter. I’m done engaging with you. I’m blocking you lest I get angry and say what I really think. i sincerely wish you the best. good night.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? That’s EXACTLY what Mr Number is for. To protect providers and clients from exactly this!
