Rico, I may have misread the room, but I had the impression that most of us had no problem with your MO, some may have been miffed that they are too old, but resigned to knowing where they stand. You may not have been here for a while but you didn't need to. Any newcomers can read what you have already posted, and although they may want to engage you in yet another conversation, that wouldn't change the outcome. I can't think of any new questions they could raise.

Actually, I think there is a big difference where that term is used in escort ads vs real life. I agree, "versatile" in real life usually means bottom. But in the escort world, I think it's just the opposite. They are usually tops, but may say versatile for the reasons noted on the above posts.

My point is he was throwing a guilt trip on me, and I seriously doubted he had two other clients wanting that very specific hour.

Do your homework. The chase should be part of the fun. Book someone who turns you on. Use common sense when making the final choice (in other words, think with the bigger head). Don't automatically exclude guys at lower price points, if they rev your engine. Some are very new to the biz and don't understand pricing. Some are genuinely humble and cannot imagine they compare to more experienced "pros". Some have a low self-image. My single greatest, all-time, bestest overnight was..........300. It will likely never be eclipsed, but my shades are at hand just in case.

When I hired (regularly, some years ago) I found that advertised rates had no relation to a person's skill in bed.
 
Equally the price I actually paid had little relation to the intensity and pleasure of the experience. One very expensive encounter was a 'dud'; two escorts, both lavishly praised here, were very disappointing. Yet a blond muscleboy who never posted a face photo turned out to be truly an Adonis with a submissive nature; he charged relatively little and he was flaky, but he became my regular 'fuckbuddy' for several years.
 
If my experience taught me anything, it's to be polite, clear and direct in what you want and offer a very fair rate. And if there is a guy you lust for and simply 'must have', pay the rate demanded and go for it.

All this talk of knowing what stocks to pick and when to buy and when to sell…I say:

Everyone wants to think they’re smarter than the average investor, and they can cite a few examples of choices that turned out well. But markets are basically efficient, so these are more likely just lucky guesses, and over a longer sample of time, peoples’ luck runs out. Research shows that time in the market beats timing the market. http://www.forbes.com/sites/simonmoore/2016/03/07/the-myth-of-market-timing/#6a8ef9fe33ce. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/efficientmarkethypothesis.asp. So just stick to a passively managed broad-based index fund with low fees and you'll be better off in the long run.

That drives me nuts....

He's responded with a face pic and a reasonable request for a "donation to the arts"
 
I'm awaiting a text message from him

Call me a sucker for a plucker...I replied to the ad. Let's see what happens.

Maybe short lived but not useless:

I think it sounds kind of hot. Just a twist on servicing a guy and I've been known to get into that a time or two (or 100.)

What we think we will get...

Nice cock! Can I choose the selection to be played? I'm thinking Ravel's Bolero.

A number of years ago, I engaged a young man, who was very new at escorting. He was attractive and billed himself as an experienced bottom. It became obvious that he was indeed a rookie; after a few moments of enjoyable thrusting, he glanced back at me and said, "After you cum, do you want to get some ice cream?" Ah, youth.

"You seem normal."

Now boys and girls, to get this joke,
put on your best mock French accent and read outloud fast...

I'm very pro-counseling, but between the unilateral sexual shutdown and the "get out and leave your dogs" approach, you are having a "Scrooge"-type glimpse of what your future relationship could look like. Counseling would be a great avenue to discuss what "go find someone to play with" really meant and what your ground rules should be going forward. However, a law office is the only place to discuss being kicked out and having your dogs stolen. I have two friends who were middle class professionals (earning $50-$60K per annum) partnered for about 10 years to upper class professionals earning about three times as much. My friends' investment in legal counsel in far less acrimonious situations really saved them financially and psychologically. You are starting off in an acrimonious situation and you should consult counsel ASAP, for your own mental health as well as your financial health.

"Looking forward to seeing you at 8pm for an outcall. At 7:45 pm, I'm really excited to see you and have a great time. Can we do 11 pm?"

Me: (smiling) Why the extra fee tacked on? It seems like you're hustling me.
Him: (laughing) Well I'm a hustler and that's why they call it hustling, it's what I do.
Me: (straight faced)

As a licensed Couple and Family Therapist, I have spent many years with clients who have literally dragged their partners into therapy - demanding that their PARTNERS CHANGE! It doesn't work that way. You are only responsible for one person in this life... and that's YOU. Sometimes, if you make changes in your life, your partner will also change, but don't count on it. I encourage my clients to say the newly-revised SERENITY PRAYER:
 
God, grant me the SERENITY to accept the people I cannot change.
COURAGE to change the person I can.
And the WISDOM to know..... it's me.
 
Good luck on your journey.

This forum has brought me a lot of new business since back when I wrote that post and I participate almost on a daily basis. I guess that's why it says "Master" under my name now.

I guess I didn't recognize Daniel with dark hair and "veni vidi vici ", I like the blond look much more
