Because a smart escort wants less chain of command info exposure, not more.

Taking the convo away from RM immediately is always a good idea.

In most walks of life, if the other person doesn't bring it up, you shouldn't either.

You could say that, I couldn't possibly comment!

Added, anyone who shit talks @Whitman gets to sharp end of the stick from me.

Whit is doing the heavy lifting and has been for some time.  Respect.

Do you know how many things are wrong with that sentence?

Yes.  Yes, I do.

But when someone pays you an obscene amount of money to sit and watch a show, you sit there and watch the damned show.

Even Phantom. 

In Vegas. 

With Crivello, who's enunciation made Patti LuPone look like a national spelling bee winner.

I mean the photo galleries barely change. The conversations are stilted on male prostitutes and a member named Whitman wins (and is okay with winning) the leaderboard every day. 

This is a reply with such little understanding that it's nearly satire.

For the op's sake, I hope it is.

By the time I saw Crivello live, he was sleepwalking through Phantom in Vegas.

Would have loved to see him in his prime.

This is sorta becoming a norm for RM.

I'd suggest people don't be shocked when they get this kind of message.

It seems like she determined 'Sunset Blvd' was a 'shitty musical' only after she got fired and she had gotten bad reviews.  Before that, she seemed to like it - especially in its workshop, rehearsals, previews, etc.  If she thought it was 'shitty' from the beginning, she would have never contracted herself to star in the West End and then again on Broadway. A talented, reputable legend such as she  would've quit early on, not wanting to be associated with this 'shitty' musical...yet, she didn't. 

To be fair, the hell Webber put her through was more than enough to taint the entire experience, from Sydmonton onward.

The judge got fat.  The jury got famous.

All the Wildhorn hate! I know his shows are often not great, but I would sit through "Bonnie & Clyde" repeatedly before going to a jukebox show (unless that jukebox show starred Corey Cott). I was just talking to someone recently about "Beautiful," which was ok, but I hardly remember it.  I have vivid memories of "Bonnie & Clyde," "The Civil War," and "The Scarlet Pimpernel." But I know his shows are flawed.  

Frank's shows aren't horrible, just schmaltzy.  I can handle that as long as they're cast with singers who can make me forget how asinine the lyrics are.

Linda Eder is one of those singers.  She elevated his material.

I guess she was right for "Gypsy,"   but I don't think Ethel Merman would have agreed. I would have agreed with Merman

She was quite right for Gypsy.  Even Laurents agreed and he was a gigantic, pedantic pain in the ass.

I saw her do it multiple times on Broadway and at City Center.  It was epic, every performance.

Winner.

I've always liked her straight-shooter vibe.  She doesn't bullshit.

I've liked her in some shows.  She's a specific type and you can't always shoehorn her into things.  It just doesn't work out well.  She's not incredibly versatile.

Glad to see her coming back to Broadway in a new play, as well as continuing to get TV work.

There is a lot of talk on here that a lower rate will mean a lesser experience, the provider will short you on time, he'll be located in a seedy hotel, etc.    I have never found that to be the case at all.   That's exactly what they want you to think.  Some/most of my best hires were actually with guys that are fairly new to the industry and trying to build up their client base or just simply offer their services at a lower price point.  The rate is definitely not a good indicator of quality in my opinion.   

But that's not really the gist of what's being said.

It's about haggling, getting your price and then wondering if the escort is giving you 100%.

What you're describing are newbies with lower rates trying to garner a circle of repeat clientele (which is smart).

I never thought a runners face was bad.  But maybe you can explain.  Is that sagging from low bf and the up and down motion of running itself?  

It's when you run enough to wear down the natural fat pads in the periorbital area, leading to looking hollow and skeleton-like.

You can also hollow out in your temples as well, changing the shape of your face/head.

Less body fat = aged, wrinkled skin. 

A good injector and supplements can help keep this from happening.

If the provider keeps a busy travel schedule, sooner than later is a smart move.

This also holds true for regular providers. Some excel at long-term cons. Remember, they're solely motivated by money. It's always a business transaction; you're essentially renting a fantasy for a set duration.

A con is very different than a fantasy. Just like a hooker is very different than an escort.

Sure, in the end it's a business transaction, but details and intent are everything.

I think if I were to go to New York for a week, I would struggle to find enough shows to fill my dance card. I'm not that picky; give me a Frank WIldhorn musical anytime. But, the prevalence of movie photocopies and jukebox musicals is disheartening.

If you can sit through Wildhorn, you can find a ton in NYC right now to see as well.

I don't see Brightline doing well at the moment, as ridership is low and they're offering a lot of incentives (free ubers to/from) to get people to ride.  

The last few times I've been on it, the trains have been pretty empty.  

I hope that changes.  It was a huge amount of money and a lot of other train projects hinge on it doing well.

I think it's important (healthy) to have both casual and paid sex as an escort.

You cannot mentally allow yourself to fully monetize the act.  It will ruin you in the long run.

A spray bottle for lube?

Jesus... How many body parts you trying to slick down at a time?

Pam could work.

OP, you really didn't find anything when searching?

I wouldn't consider it an intuitive business model to try to get a deposit AFTER a missed meeting.

It's the reason you ask for the deposit beforehand.  It's incentive-based collateral to make someone keep their schedule.

If a client flakes, he flakes.  If the excuse is an understandable one, you make the call as to giving him another shot.

If not, you just move on.  I don't tend to dwell on those who have wasted my time.

I wish there was an easy place to find exhibitionists so voyeurs could match up our needs. I would never expect an exhibitionist to want to have sex with me (which would be the expectation using an app like Scruff), but I'd sure love to provide the voyeur service for them.

I mean, the safest place for this is a gay bath. 

Less safe (and sexual) would be k-spas, locker rooms, gyms, large sex segregated spas, nude beaches, etc.

Hasn't happened in awhile, but if a guy needs to shower, I tell them to shower. 

I'm not precious about it. 

That's the kind of shit a grown adult should know to do before meeting up.
