As long as you’re enjoying yourself, that’s all that matters. Personally, I prefer a bit more certainty. I do think, with the right provider, you can still experience the thrill and strategic play you’re looking for (seeing his mood, testing things, etc.).

How so?

Setting clear emotional boundaries is essential for your well-being, especially if you want to continue engaging in this “hobby.” If those lines have become unclear, taking a step away to gain perspective might be the best thing for you right now. Trust yourself to navigate this thoughtfully.

When you can’t decide, you take both. 😉

This was really beautiful and well said.

Looks like those credit card fees have really been bugging him.

1920s? You must be at least 100! Your typing skills are impressive—I can only hope to have the same mental sharpness and dexterity at your age.

Interesting alpha traits for a Libra.

I remember the OP’s plea quite vividly—preying on and profiting from a vulnerable population… one benevolent BJ at a time. The “lucky” provider will be compensated with a bus ticket or a new mobile device like the others.

I'm glad you didn't say, “… snips….”

Nothing makes me feel all warm and fuzzy than being flipped off in a provider ad—though I can think of much better uses for a provider’s fingers than that.

If the grief doesn’t kill you, the food will.

I can’t think of any providers to give or receive “benevolent BJs” for your exploitative website.

You’re right! My mistake. I meant to say Ms. Hussey. The thread was confusing. Thanks.

@marylander1940 @Luv2play Yes! Another reason is the cultural emphasis on portion control and slower-paced, more mindful eating in many European countries. Meals are often enjoyed in a social setting, where people tend to savor their food, eat more slowly, and have smaller portions. This contrasts with the fast-paced, larger portion sizes often seen in other countries (like here in the U.S.), which can contribute to overeating. Additionally, the focus on quality over quantity, with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients, also plays a role in healthier eating habits.

True. Yes, Dayle Haddon was indeed in Romeo and Juliet (1968) directed by Franco Zeffirelli.

Sadly the screen for some feels more real than in the flesh. Different generation.
