Calm down. No one said bring him back. We were commenting on his talent as an actor.

House of Cards was garbage without him. I love Wright, but she wasn't getting the quality writing to support the show on her own. Spacey's stage acting is probably his most impressive: His was the only Iceman Cometh that I didn't fall asleep watching at some point. His work in the film Glenngary Glen Ross was awesome.

If you can deal with Houston or New Orleans in the summer, you can easily brave Bangkok or the Thai islands. Switzerland is beautiful this time of year: Geneva/Zurich. Cartagena, Colombia. Still a bargain. Mexico City... Great weather, beautiful people. Brighton Pride is on the weekend of the 1st. Biggest pride in the UK. I'll be there to see Kylie headline

I'm mostly shirtless this time of year, so I guess I'll just have to remember the good clients by the fact that they're decent human beings who don't need to buy me gifts to explain that.

I'll just leave this right here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

A follow-up thought. Never forget this is an interpersonal, human-being business. That said, I see many guys online who give it all away up front, leaving behind nothing to the imagination for the in-person meet. The mystery is gone because, frankly, there wasn't any to begin with. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? With online attention spans at an all-time low, it's still possible to give clients (or any audience) a good show and be in control of how much of yourself you're putting out there.

You misread what I wrote. I never said middle America was dictating fashion trends. I said spending trends.

If Streisand can do it, so can I

Yep. It's a nice selection of Broadway covers. Nice orchestrations that show off her range. Eder has really blossomed into a superb small-room performer. I never thought that would be possible for her.

We live in a time where middle-America has never more clearly influenced trends in spending. This will change, as it always does: Luxury spending is cyclical. As for escorts, @rogerG is correct... Those who have the money are still spending it on gentleman callers.

My advice is to keep copy simple. If you have great reviews, let them speak for you. Your bigger concern should be updated pictures, showing what you look like at any given time.

This could have been easily avoided if the escort was professional/mature enough to have a conversation. If you don't string people along, you won't have to ghost them.

This thread is entertaining and useful. Well done guys How I see it: Show loyalty to a brand and the brand will throw you a bone when you need it (ie, a guaranteed late check-out). Same thing goes for building up status with an airline- When the shit hits the fan (and it always does), they take care of their elite first. I also recommend carrying an Amex Platinum, which gives you access to their FHR program: A ton of perks, including 12 noon check-in and 4pm check-out, guaranteed. The card also gives you automatic mid-level status in a number of hotel/car programs. A number of other credit cards offer the same kind of perks: Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture, etc.

Years ago, I started requiring a small drop of blood from my regulars. It's basically 23&Me, only sluttier.

Pre-ordering a 'special' meal with an airline has always been the coach secret to getting much better catering

I pay for a lot of my own airfare with guys I'm familiar with: It's just reimbursed on the backend. It makes things easier for everyone and allows me to quickly take care of the travel-end of things. Sure, it requires trust, but if you've spent enough time with someone, it should be a moot point.

Be amazed, but don't criticize what others do with their money. It's their prerogative if they want to put a guy in J or F.

I'd be fine with just the 'big ass' part. Forget the Ferris Wheel

Don't even try that shit with me. If we're all going, we're all riding... And visiting the beer tent. Repeatedly.

Bottom line, you have trust in him. He hasn't breached that. Don't overthink this or let others here spook you. Flying guys places requires a small leap of faith. It's part of the deal (and excitement, for some).

I bet Linda's wondering right now what the hell she did to her SEO to end up with traffic from this thread.

He does, actually. At the last union meeting, we voted him in as our international spokesman.
