Just out of curiosity, if and only if you don't mind sharing: what's the ballpark figure of this price tag?

Some people associate beard / facial hair with maturity. For those who are seeking the daddy types, beard / facial hair will be a stimulus.

I do see the frustrations when appearances deviate from what are advertised. It can directly influence someone's desirability. I do have a weird take on this though. A few providers asked me what I preferred (e.g. clean shaven vs bearded, hair style, wardrobe). To their surprises, my reply has been consistent: "I like you exactly the way you are. There is no need for you to make any changes for me." My rationale: the more real and authentic they are, the easier it is for me to fall under their illusions because their acting becomes more believable when they are true to themselves. That, in turn, enhances my imagination/fantasy of a BFE.

This seems like an eternal debate and there is no correct answer; I’m just trying to rationalize both perspectives. I personally believe both sides are valid. On one hand, it’s the principle of opportunity cost. It’s your time that’s being compensated, regardless of your expected labor output. On the other hand, the value/intensity/complexity of your labor output should be considered. For instance, providers with dual roles of escorts and masseurs typically charge lower rates for massages than for bedroom activities. Applying the same logic, wouldn’t companionship be less labor intensive than actual sexual activities and be priced at a reduced rate? Now, I can see some may argue that being emotionally and intelligently engaged in a companionship arrangement may be more exhausting than a hit-and-run quickie. Then, that will be another story……

Sometimes, I see them as magicians and myself as that audience member who volunteers to participate in their magic tricks on stage. I know it’s all fake, but I’m still amazed and amused by their skillfully staged illusions. Alternatively, they are award-winning method actors. They become the characters they play and I am cast as the opposing lead. I figure the key is to enjoy the magic shows and theatrical performances while they last and return to real life after the paid entertainment ends.

To a certain extent, posting here, even though anonymously, is a twisted form of coming out. At least that's how I feel about it. I know it sounds silly -- and maybe even laughable to some -- but it is somewhat cathartic and comforting at the same time. Interestingly, it is so much easier to tell strangers (e.g. my primary care doctor, all the providers I've met, and people here) than those you love/care the most.

You may also consider posting your interests and what you're looking for here (or on "The Deli" section) as a new topic to seek suggestions. The collaborative power on CoM is quite impressive.

The problem is: filters are useful if and only if the statistics and descriptors are accurately reported. We all know honesty and precision are not guaranteed on RM profiles. So to answer your question, probably < 5%.

I have no intention to derail the central subject of this thread, but here is a separate but related question: if an AI provider is available, would you consider hiring him/her/it (e.g. Dolores in Westworld, but turn her into him/her/it or whatever you desire)?

Yes, I feel that quality is going in the opposite direction of quantity. It takes more time to scroll/filter through the longer lists of RM profiles, but the end results are more or less the same as before.

I, too, often struggle with the balance between reality and illusion — I’d rephrase it as illusion and not delusion. On one hand, I need to be fooled by the illusion to enjoy the experience, but on the other hand, I have to constantly remind myself that none of it is real. Otherwise, the pitfall described by the OP will ensue. However, the problem is that the thought of reality is a major boner killer for me. I realize I must learn how to compartmentalize: let my brain be tricked for pleasure for the duration of the appointment but set an alarm to wake myself up to reality afterwards.

The question applies to both sides (clients & providers). And do you treat him any differently after achieving the "regular" status? If so, in what way(s)?

This situation is a mirror image of the age shaving "phenomenon," except that one is inflated whereas the other is deflated.

What is the definition of average-sized though? Is it based on sociological statistics or is it a personalized standard?

On my Windows / desktop computer, I have to click on the video, then blow it up to full-screen mode (upper right hand corner button), then the volume button is on the lower left hand corner. Yes, it is defaulted to mute, so you have to unmute it first. I guess the setup is different, depending on which browser / OS you're using.
