Perhaps you could adopt the policy we had at our clinic: if you No Show for your appointment you will be "double-booked" with another No Show client for the same time period for your next appointment - whoever shows up first gets the appointment. It greatly improved our productivity and taught the clients that "time is money." If you do adopt some type of "No Show policy" it would be important for clients to know about it before their first appointment (e.g. double-booking, cancellation fee, no future bookings, small deposit to reschedule, etc). Bottom line: you're running a business, not a hobby. I suspect that there are lots of No Shows on both sides of the business b/c there are rarely consequences, except for getting bad-mouthed occasionally on these forums. Good luck, and welcome.

I used to live within a few blocks of LAX and would travel to WeHo practically every night - took about 30 mins on the back streets - Sepulveda to La Tijera to La Cienega to Fairfax to Santa Monica Blvd. Of course, if you're not used to the roads, it would take a lot longer. I bet a Uber driver could get you there pronto. If you've got 6-8 hrs holdover time I think you'd be fine. After all, O.J.'s driver (Allen Parks) said he made it from Brentwood to LAX in 26 mins.

Correct, the LAX area consists mostly of buildings that are connected to airplanes and cargo. There are some residential areas to the north (Westchester) and south (El Segundo) but these are mostly middle-class, family neighborhoods. To the East is Century Blvd. which is mostly hotels. Your best bet might be Grindr or, better yet, prearranging someone from online to meet you there (the epicenter for gay adventure is West Hollywood which is about a 30 minute ride, depending on traffic and whether one knows how to avoid the Freeways). Or, you could use the old Larry Craig method (Wide Stance) in the airport restrooms and pray that you don't have the same fate as Larry.

I'm disinclined to believe that either gay people or straight people (and the inestimable variations in-between) are inherently more or less receptive to relationships (sexual or otherwise) with members of other racial or ethnic compositions. Decades ago when gays were mostly closeted and opportunities for sexual encounters with any race were limited, I suspect that gays were perceived as more promiscuous and open to a variety of sexual partners, and maybe that perception was accurate. As gay people are now more accepted and more geared towards monogamous relationships it is likely that we, like our heterosexual peers, gravitate towards mates who reflect our social and professional status, regardless of race. It's also been my anecdotal experience that "straight" people have become more liberal in their choices of sexual mates - whether that be with members of other races, or even with members of their own gender. I suspect that receptiveness to members of other races as sexual partners problably has more to do with one's education, culture, upbringing, and opportunity than it does with one's sexual orientation.

As @marylander1940 said, try Hotwire or Priceline. I recently stayed at the South Loop Hotel in Chicago for $64/nite which included free parking for both guests and visitors. It's only a 15 minute bus ride (which stops right in front and costs $2.50) up State Street to The Loop. Yes, a downtown hotel will cost $140-$200, even on Priceline, which does not include parking. The only problem with the South Loop Hotel was that it is located in a "food desert" though Burger King is only about a 5 minute drive. I never had any problem with escorts visiting - and they especially liked the free parking. The rooms are very clean and spacious, although I have to admit, while I was there (three days) I only saw about three other guests walking around, so I am not sure how they stay in business.

Only 9.4% of the day laborers who were propositioned accepted the invite. Not very good odds versus the better chance of getting beat like a rented mule. You might better off with the "grimy" dude with gonorrhea that bloop almost hired.

I think you could take some of the risk out of the propositioning day laborers if you use some Home Depot terminology, like..... 1. Any of you guys have experience in lubing an O-ring? 2. The ballcock in my bathroom needs some adjusting. 3. I'm needing someone to work a blowbag to clean out some crap in my drainpipe. 4. I have a pipe with two male-ends - anybody ever work with that?

ALL GENERALIZATIONS ARE FALSE, INCLUDING THIS ONE.... as the saying goes. However, anecdotally (and I visit ATL at least 2x per year), I would agree that 1) Atlanta traffic sucks; 2) most Atlanta drivers have a death wish; 3) Atlanta escorts are some of the hottest hunks in the entire USA; 4) again, Atlanta traffic sucks.

Outcall because, to calm my nerves a bit, I often (okay, always) have a swig (or two) of bourbon - and I don't want to get pulled over with etoh on my breath. However, I almost always do outcalls at a hotel. I'm very uneasy about bringing a stranger into my home since I read of a case in our city where a gay guy was stabbed to death by an escort who took the man's car and then ditched it in a bad part of town. The escort wasn't caught for a couple of years until the escort, like a lot of criminals, blabbed about his crime to friends. I realize you can get murdered in a hotel room just as well but at least they probably have a video of the perp entering/leaving, which may be a deterrent. One of the few times I did incall was in L.A. circa 1989 - I picked up a hot young Latino on the "Boulevard" and he said his apartment was only a few blocks away. When we entered his apartment I discovered his entire family (mom, dad, and about six sibs) sitting at their dining room table ready to eat dinner. They barely took notice and we did our thing in his bedroom. But it certainly was awkward.

I use some form of "Gen" in my Grindr profile every day - e.g. GEN-tleman, GENuine, XtraGEN4U, etc. and have never been flagged or warned. Maybe it helps that I'm a paid subscriber, I don't know. Just to make sure they get the point I also put a couple of "rose" emoji and I add the words "giving person" in my description. I usually get at least 5 hits per day in this medium-sized city, which usually includes their dick pics and often face pics. Of course, I also ask, as someone else mentioned, a three-fingered selfie. Also, as mentioned, expect to get a sharp drop-off of interest when you demand verification, though I am not sure that this indicates catfishism or just laziness since a lot of the initial pics sent are of big dicks but not necessarily model-type face/bodies (not that mine are, either).

I still chuckle when she played Ted Baxter's wife on MTM show. In one episode, Ted and Georgette couldn't get pregnant so both agreed to get tested for fertility. Later, in the newsroom, Mary Richards asked Ted if his tests indicated that perhaps his sperm count was low. Of course Ted, boastful as always, asserted: "Are you kidding, I've got 'em coming out my ears." RIP, sweet Georgette.

Is this the same place? http://villagiani.uk/

I can vouch for that statement. Having worked with the mentally ill who often have the dual diagnoses of alcohol/drug dependence, it was like pulling teeth to get the meds providers to Rx naltrexone. The Vivitrol rep (Vivitrol is the brand name) gave the docs all kinds of info on the efficacy of Vivitrol, but the patient would have to practically beg for a script. I might also add that the makers of Vivitrol require that the person receive individual/group therapy along with the meds. I must also admit that the patients who were on Vivitrol had a very low compliance of showing for their shot (Vivitrol is an injectable) - the "pleasure pathways" that alcohol forms in the brain are so powerful that the cravings are usually too overwhelming for many. Vivitrol/naltrexone treatment looks good on paper, but recovering from addiction is still an uphill battle. But, we must always emphasize that addiction is not a moral issue, not a personality flaw, not sinful - it is a medical/neurological problem that requires a multi-discipline treatment.

You may have already read this, but in D.C. they are now using lawyers instead of rats in experiments at the National Institutes of Health. Reasons: 1. There are more lawyers than rats in D.C. 2. Medical experimenters often get to where they personally like the rats. 3. There are some things that even a rat won't do.

I'm thinking that someday soon there will be an article in a magazine like Vanity Fair or The Advocate titled "My Brief and (In)Glorious Career as a Gay Escort" by Howie.

Reminds me of an old Hollywood Squares question that Peter Marshall asked Paul Lynde: Peter: Is it true that the ancient Greeks used to fight their battles naked? Paul: Yes, and whoever said that war is hell?

A timely article via-a-vis the recent accusations regarding former Senator David Boren. I was particularly touched by the poignant conclusion of the article: "After months of wild accusations, sting operations, and endless denunciations to the press, all the government got was the pointless destruction of the lives of two gay men and a witch hunt that sent innumerable others into hiding."

I'm guessing that the "unsupported" titles might be bots. Or maybe that's their financial condition they are hoping you'll remedy. As far as A4A, I check my account daily and rarely get replies from outside my "Home Location" or "City View." Sometimes I will get them from out-of-towners who are visiting or passing thru. Maybe word has gotten out around the country about how hot you are?

The ugly truth.

If you get a chance, catch the "Rembrandt Portraits" exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. Absolutely transfixing portraits - one could easily spend an hour absorbing the beauty and mystery of a single Rembrandt portrait. Exhibition now thru June 9. https://www.artic.edu/exhibitions/9244/rembrandt-portraits

You're not the "Lone Ranger" when it comes to making these kinds of "unforced errors" in hiring. I hired a "gentleman" off A4A a couple of years ago w/out asking for verification and the person who showed up not only was not the man in the photo, he smelled like he hadn't bathed in years. Luckily, he left peacefully with only a token remuneration. On the other hand, there are some really hot "bargains" on that site if you use prudence and DEMAND verification.

He is a very aggressive escort and I know that his sheer physicality is intimidating. I'm happy that I did not have the same terrifying experience as you. Fortunately, he was very accommodating and professional towards me. Otherwise, I would not have invited him back again. Perhaps he was in a more jovial mood in my encounter b/c he was in Indy for personal (and happy) reasons.

Great topic! In general, I think that you are going to find the most variety in megalopolises like NYC, London, Rio, etc. But, I have found so many "hidden gems" in medium-sized cities like Indy, Charlotte, Nashville, Columbus, Pittsburgh, to be much more exciting, cooperative, affordable, and kinky (in a good way), than many (most?) big cities.

*Not a Review, just a recommendation to OP - Review to follow* I hired MrEroticGuy a couple of days ago in Indy - but he has since returned to ATL where, I believe, he lives. He has an incredible body - great abs, muscles, huge firm butt. Has a nice personality and is very professional. Easy to communicate with - and you can usually also find him on Grindr. I liked him so much I asked him come back later that evening for Round #2. However, per usual, your mileage may vary. https://rentmen.eu/MREROTICGUY
