I wonder what his overnight fee is.

He seems legit and has some great reviews with gushing comments. I would say he caters to a fairly elite clientele.

I guess he hasn't found the "right" guy. That's right in his ad, " looking for the right guy ". And he still has no reviews since placing his ad in 2022. But he looks yummy.😛

You could try writing to that advice column in the NYT. Not only do they give advice but readers are free to write in with their opinions whether the advice tendered was the best or not.

I have the digital version of the NYT and the Toronto Globe &Mail.. I subscribe to the printed version of a local newspaper which comes out 4 times a week. I also write a column for another local paper which is bimonthly, which I have been doing for 6 months now. My publisher tells me people like my column from emails he gets. I couldn't survive on what he pays me but it keeps me in booze.

There are personal assistants and then there are others. It all depends who you are assisting. In this case a very List A person in a very rarified position. I wouldn't accept less than $120,000 for such a position. But I would have to see the job description. Maybe its just a junior one. What does the rest of her personal staff look like?

This sounds very frustrating for you. My experience differs and I have not experienced any decline in quality of escorts that I have been with either during the pandemic or post pandemic. I hire at generally twice a month in the Montreal and Toronto market. Some come to me and some I go to. Many dates are multi hours or overnights. I always make it clear behorehand what I am looking for and get their agreement in writing on RM or text or WhatsApp that they can perform. Hemce usually I have a fabulous time. But it does take effort and does cost money. This ain't a cheap hobby.

It was interesting to me that we had a similar tragedy around the same time here in Canada when a military helicopter crashed into the Ottawa River during a night training exercise. There were four crew members on board but only two emerged from the water right after the accident and were taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries. The other two crew members were not found even by the next morning. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publically acknowledged their loss that morning while the armed services was still calling it a rescue and not recovery operation. Maybe the navy in the US had the same mindset as ours. They don't acknowledge loss until they have irrefutable evidence. Most of us civilians are realistic and can draw appropriate conclusions when presented with enough evidence.

James Cameron (who has visited the Titanic site more than 30 times) has come out and said that the Navy knew on Monday that the submersible was gone when all electonic contact with it was simultaneously cut off one and a half hours into the dive. He has also said it was grotesque or words to that effect that the charade of a purported rescue attempt was prolonged for 4 days.

I thought the CEO of the compsmy that own the Titanic, Lord Ismay, got into a lifeboat when he should not have and saved himself.

I've only met one to actually talk to and we had a facinating conversation. She was in a retirement home and had all her wits about her. When she told me her age (102) I did a quick calculation and asked her about her school days. It turned out she and my aunt had been in the same class in school back in the 1920's. My aunt had died of breast cancer in 1968 at the age of 51. This woman had outlived her by twice her age. She died about half a year later and I was at her funeral.

Well I couldn't see one. Could you point it out?

You meant the tat of a face on his body?

I thought the bible said three score and ten. It was President Lincoln who said four score and ten and he was referring to the age of the country. Lol

I agree falls seem to be the beginning of the end for many older people. One reason is that as they age they stop doing the exercises that can strengthen their muscles and improve their balance. Those that continue to keep their bodies as fit as possible greatly increase their ability to prevent falls and even when they do fall decrease the likelihood of a serious injury. Of course other factors enter into the equation such as underlying conditions like osteoporosis or arthritis. And as others have said, having good genes is a great predictor of health in old age.

I've read that it was a conscious decision to use the cheaper rivets in order to save money. Money was lavished elsewhere, however, including on building the magnificent staircase. Unfortunately, the design of the staircase prevented the bulkheads underneath from rising as high as they needed to in order to prevent water from sloshing over their tops in case of a leak in the hull. It was not thought necessary as the ship was considered to be unsinkable.

This is an example of the challenges facing those of us who are not very tech savvy. I had a similar experience a few weeks ago and it took me some time to figure out how to get rid of the tiny text. With computers generally I try to stick to the narrow path of my expertise because if I wander off I really get lost.

I'm thinking of the Challenger disaster in 1986 and how they discovered that the infamous O rings were the cause of the explosion. A small part failed which led to a catastrophe. There is some speculation that a small area of the joint between the composite hull and the titanium porthole might have allowed a little seawater to enter which would be enough to cause a rapid decompression and implosion of the vessel. In this scenario, death would have been instantaneous. As the saying goes "They never knew what hit them". That would be the most merciful ending, rather than say a depletion of oxygen and slow suffocation.

This is totally confusing. Your said you booked an overnight with him last night and bailed after one hour of mediocre massage (my characterization). He said his wife was coming so that ended things. Then you suggested another overnight with him. This is crazy. He at least had the good sense to say he wasn't interested in trying another overnight with you.

But that was what the Titanic disaster uncovered. The government regulations were inadequate. For instance the number of lifeboats sufficient to cover everyone on board did not exist. There were other lacunae relating to communications and the construction standards of ships. These were addressed following an enquiry the British held after the disaster. Perhaps some sort of enquiry will be held following this disaster.

I've been struck by the fact that while there have been many submersibles that have descended to the shipwreck since it was discovered (including this ill-fated one), that it was one named the Titan came to grief visiting the Titanic. The ocean liner Titanic was sold as being " unsinkable" and this Titan was apparently promoted to rich tourists as being safe. In tbe case of the Titanic, it was later discovered that there were many reasons to doubt it's safety, including the steps that were taken to cut costs in its construction. We have yet to find out if anything questionable was done to minimize the risks in promoting this submersible. Time will tell.

It's been a big news story here in Canada and I think I understand why. First its like climbing Mt. Everest or helicopter skiing in BC or any other high risk adventure. It's normally well educated, affluent people who engage in these activities and some die every year. You just hope the odds are with you. These people have a high tolerance to risk. The billionaires on this trip were two Pakistani's, a father and son and the British businesman-explorer. The other two were a French-American undersea expert and the CEO of the company that owned the vessel. But people like to scoff at billionaires and the successful. And the lure surrounding the Titanic and its mythic reputation draws a certain type to want to get up close and is not satisfied in just watching some 3D film of the shipwreck. So yes, it all seems a bit extravagent to focus on this human tragedy when many other more mundane tragedies are playing out every day in the world. Such as the hundreds of migrants on the ship that foundered off the coast of Greece. But people get caught up in these stories, just like the story of Amelia Erhardt. Its just human behavior.

I like your first sentence. The second not so much.

I agree thevnegative reviews should aleays be left posted unless they are clearly fraudulent. RM does allow a small number of negative reviews to remain. I usually won't post a negative review but those times were mostly when I was less experienced and did meet with a few clunkers. Tjese days I frequently see the same providers multiple times and I have given all of them at least one positive review. I stopped doing multiple ones some years ago with perhaps one or two exceptions. .

I think we live in two different universes. There are Americans who can't read the comments made by reviewers on RM ( unless they have the knowledge of using VPN) and all other citizens in the world who can see these comments. I use the comments extensively in my research of possible providers on RM, along with the wording and pics and videos in their ads. If I have a question, I sometimes ask a previous reviewer about his experience. Sometime this has been helpful. Othertimes not. Generally I have had good results. And I hire a lot, probably more than 90 percent on this forum.
