Tell us what you’re looking for and maybe some of us might have near travel suggestions. I happen to be in Nashville right now (although I flew my talent in to join me)

Thank you. Have a great day

To be clear - you mirrored his logic and i acknowledged that. But your mirroring was very narrow. But you did not mirror his logic when you changed his meaning from a client offer to a provider ask. A point you seem to be deflecting from. But I don’t care - I stand by my first response that had nothing to do with you but rather the comment you were “mirroring” I’m sure you reap what you sow and that fact is no skin off my scrotum.

Maybe, but restating his words to suit your meaning is.

As I said - YOU MADE YOUR POINT! But you also made mine. If you’re going to be pedantic, no one said anything about ASKING for extra money - except - you. He was simply making a suggestion that you seem to feel a need to pounce on him about. Ok, you don’t like the suggestion. We get it.

I think your point is made, but because of the power imbalance and the “‘gold’en rule,” those are false equivalents. But there are other ways that I’ve observed similar response from providers - for instance - not clock watching. Or remembering a birthday or bringing a gift - all things I’ve observed. There’s a huge difference between a guy who comes in, asks for money, and then sets a timer and one that connects, lingers, and makes sure balance is maintained

Sorry I misunderstood. Normally I’d extract it from the “Call Me” link. From my experience, it’s not common for me to find it in the ad but I’d be fine either way

Very important to me. I’m not going to constantly sign in to RM to check for messages. I prefer text

I don’t want to put words in @Braziliancutee’s mouth, but it sounds like he’s saying “we reap what we sow” Many clients treat their companions like property with no mutuality. Like the tense want - but with distance - relationship between Tanya and Portia in White Lotus. Let’s not assume we will get tenderness when we offer harshness. This may of course have nothing to do with the OP…but we shouldn’t assume the provider is alone in creating the mood.

I thought AI was silly and unnecessary at first. Then, I tried it. Then I got a paid subscription. Now I use it regularly to automate mundane tasks - but never as a conclusion to the task, but rather, under my review of the final conclusion. Thus, it’s taking the role of unpaid intern or trainee. But unfortunately, professionally, it means we aren’t refreshing the gene pool with fresh talent - the new hires that learn through osmosis to business activity…the apprentice - who used to do these things for us and learn. Every sword has two edges. I’ve learned to use the productive one and not the destructive one that scares the hell out of me too. Sidenote: one of the downsides of AI is that it can help the ignorant feel smart (myself included). It conveys knowledge with no training in wisdom….you know, “knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put tomato in a fruit salad” Case in point - I sold a house once to a young, promising insurance agent building his book of business. For a number of reasons pertinent to my situation, I held the mortgage. After a period, he came to me, listing a number of hardships, and informed me that “he was going to give me a deed in lieu of foreclosure.” It was soooo obvious that everything in the communication and his understanding was formed by AI. It prepared him for everything BUT my actual response which was “sorry, I came $xxx out of pocket to pay my agent commission to do this for you. I will work with you through the hardships, but I’m NOT accepting a deed in lieu.” Even his grandfather - an attorney whom he’d not consulted - advised him that I was being excessively accommodating. In the end, AI led him on the most destructive path and he didn’t have the wisdom to see past it. After a number of bad faith actions on his part, I foreclosed and I’m pursuing him on a deficiency judgment that will likely affect his professional licensing. All because he probably asked AI “How do I get out of this mortgage” rather than “how do I work through this problem”.

I just did the math - hiring would have cost 4x what my first divorce cost at $500/pop, twice weekly for 25 yrs. And she didn’t eat much 😅🤪…layer on the kids (priceless) and the fact that I paid 100% of college tuition - at expensive schools - and hiring is much cheaper.

Good one! I forgot females are the blood suckers! I think I’ll start calling my two ex-wives “The Mosquitos!”

1.5 hrs, 17 bites THE MOSQUITO IS DEAD! Heres hoping he was alone

Did he accept?

“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito in the room!” ~ Dali Lama I’m enjoying the cross ventilation with all the French Doors in my small place in the French Quarter. And - stop everything - a mosquito flew in and bit me eight times! Wher’ is dat waskeley wabbit!! But at least they’re wimpy southern mosquitos and not Michiganders!

This is a point of curiosity with no right or wrong answer. But, given the choice, would you choose visiting with a small number of providers frequently or a large number of providers just once and move on to the next? As I started exploring my sexuality with men over the last two to three years, I found that I preferred the exploration always looking for a new provider in town. But now I prefer the familiarity of a small number of guys I see often and I hardly ever look at RM anymore.

If he’s always changing his name, I’d not bother.

I always offer the option, but rarely get any questions. If they’re too inquisitive, I’d be a little suspicious. But: - I usually give a lot of assessment info on my first contact - I use my actual phone number which can then be traced to my name through MrNumber and I’m a pretty easy Google search to see my web presence. So, They know I’m not an ax murder. They know a lot from my web presence, plus they can probably trace the guys I’ve reviewed through RM. All that’s fine for me until a couple guys began to think I may be their “Pretty Woman” opportunity…

Is your experience with him recent? I was underwhelmed after an initial contact with him months ago, but I suspected he may have been friends with another guy I had a falling out with. I’m glad to see he seems to be drug avoidant.

I only repeat what I read on men’s room walls 🤪

You did what? Did they teach that move in medical school?? 🤣😅😉

And that’s different from a dealer in what way? Unless the handoff and payment occurs with the dealer involved, I’m not sure I see a difference.

How is this revenge? If his profile says this publicly, you’re simply highlighting it. At this point, if his ad comment proves a detriment to his business and he removes the reference from his profile, we are collectively ignorant of the inherent risk this guy provides…cuz he’s still going to be doing it As others have said - this guy is a DRUG DEALER - and inviting clients into his presence some of whom might be members here If you want affirmation, you did the right thing IMO If you want to be helpful to other members avoiding the risk, sharing his profile is not revenge

I’ve spent a weekend with him. I think he will meet and exceed your expectations@top12342781
