Enjoy Samui. One of my favorites places in the world.

I only eat at restaurants that have Steinways. German Steinways.

Calling reviewers on RM discerning is like casually letting people know that you love the delicate taste of a cold Gallo chardonnay from a red Solo cup.

Sensible AND environmentally friendly

I mean, $18k for published top status isn't really an insane spend. AA asks $15k for EP and I'm going to be putting in at least $40k EQD spend with AA this year. Mid-level and C-execs can do that number several times over without breaking a sweat. This is the new normal for these programs. Like I say to people about upgrades, don't count on them anymore. If you want the seat, you have to buy the seat. Nothing is owed.

Geneva isn't great for visiting guys, but if you're being flown-in or vacationing there, it's awesome. Zurich is definitely the city for independent working guys. Brussels I don't know a lot about. Have only been once, but it was enjoyable.

Seriously, this. It's an echo chamber at times on this board, so don't forget to think realistically with a liberal dash of brutal honesty.

Honestly, I've always wanted Sigourney Weaver to play more head-bitch roles after seeing this movie. She was superb. And Harrison Ford was in his sexual prime. And then there's Joan Cusack. Fucking hilarious. ... And I'm told Melanie Griffith is in it too.

Can you please post those pictures? I mean... Just for EDUCATIONAL sake, really.

Every lesson in life, I've learned from Miss Cleo and The Psychic Friends Network.

Or worse... A burrito ban from Chipotle nationwide.

I wasn't quoting his profile. Actually, haven't even looked at it.

Anyone who asks for an NDA from their client is someone to be avoided I'm told he's threatening. I trust the person who told me as a solid judge of character.

I'd say consider it a dodged bullet not meeting with him. He's got a sketchy reputation from some people that I consider honest/upright

A little birdie tells me that this particular escort is batshit crazy. Proceed with caution.

I think a well-worded telegram might do nicely. ... Or, carrier pigeon.

IPL is good, but it's definitely now been trumped by BBL (broadband) lasers. Look into things like Forever Young and Halo... These lasers can make huge changes in someone's skin with very little downtime. Now, if you've let it all go and need some serious help, that's when you look into CO2 lasers. Expect a week or more of downtime and some swelling, but it's a surefire way to even out skintone, blemishes and lip/eye wrinkling.

This. Switzerland is beautiful, great money with fantastic people.

My main advice is to book European cities that will serve your 'look' well and not just places you want to be a tourist. The goal is to always come back with more money than you left with- The euro and pound are still quite strong against the dollar. You also have to think about the upcoming European holiday season and how that affects people's hiring habits. Also, take into account that many places in Europe will be bitterly cold/wet/dreary between Dec-April. Not sure how much of that you want to deal with. Please don't ignore Asia if you're able: Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Tokyo all are hotbeds for an enterprising American male escort. Feel free to reach out by pvt if you need anything

Woah, woah, woah. You initially took the upgrade and left him in coach? Hell, that's grounds for a divorce right there

I totally understand where you're coming from, but your response sorta just proves what I posted before: Don't bank miles, as they'll never be worth more over time. Use them quickly or watch them lose value. I'm not sure what UA is doing these days as I've fallen back on my lifetime status (thanks to my high-mileage days with CO), but AA, with nearly every fare class- excluding basic economy- earn at least 1-1 EQM and EQS. Fare buckets are a little confusing at first, but if you want to fully work the system, you've got to first know your enemy https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-program/miles/earn/special-fares.jsp

It's antiseptic, but it's a clean, new space with potential. The Tin Room is a shithole: It's not even a sexy kind of dirty. It's just real estate waiting for redevelopment.

Ugh.

I think we should have an entire food discussion dedicated to simple, solid French eateries in NYC When you mentioned Tout, a fantastic place and great selection, it reminded me also of La Veau D'or, a place I loved eating at as a kid and continued to love when I visited the city as an adult. Glad to see they kept it open with a change in the guard.
