It makes sense, but it's also incredibly sad to read. I spend time with guys who might not be in the same looks/body league as me, but the way you genuinely interact with someone makes all the difference. If you don't act like hired help, people around you won't give a shit. The bigger issue is how someone deals (or doesn't deal) with their own mental hangups.

I'd agree that the Brutalist nature of the exterior isn't beautiful, but the interior more than makes up for it. That Gehry render is actually something I quite like and it shocks me. I usually dislike Gehry, as 90% of his designs have the same CAD/CATIA feel to them. This one was different. It's unfortunate it didn't see the light of day.

I wouldn't say they're 'in demand,' but being a great actual escort requires a lot more intellect, conversational skill, eye for detail and organization. It's not something every guy can do, which is why many escorts are best left hired for a single hour at a time. A gent who's able to effortlessly combine the two has cracked the code: A guy who's fun in bed, but also mentally stimulates you as well.

It's a stunner. Was here the other night for the LaChanze concert. Really comfortable venue with great audio/acoustics. NYC remains one of the best places in the world for live performance.

I would never say that to an existing regular. To me, it's not a good sign.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Unless you hire exactly the right tag-team of escorts, your attention to minutiae will always be your achilles heel. For you, the ideal two other guys might be a long-term couple who also escort. Taking a walk down memory lane, it reminds me of how successful and well-reviewed Adrian & Blake of Orlando were. They were partnered in life and knew exactly how to work in a third. This would have been right in their wheelhouse. That kind of emotional/sexual choreography takes some time to perfect, but from what clients of mine have said, they were fantastic.

This woman is insane. I've heard her entitled rants about airlines before.

I've never seen long exposure to tanning beds turn out well for men's faces or skin. The research is csystal clear on how much worse a bed tan is than simple sun exposure. https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/skin-cancer/surprising-facts-about-indoor-tanning#:~:text=Tanning beds are NOT safer,basal cell carcinoma by 24%.

This whole story is lopsided. Let's first hear the WHOLE thing. Daily Mail as a source? Yeah... Sure. Like NYC said, this was likely another case of an entitled American who had zero clue when it came to custom and behavior in other countries. I can't feel bad for really fucking dumb people.who do dumb things and tempt fate.

That was a pretty weak reply, even for you.

Because you're a filthy tramp.

Really? You're not going to last long on this board if you think that was beyond the pale. But seriously, you handle your business as you see fit and are comfortable. I can only offer the advice of someone who's been doing this very, very successfully as a full-fledged career. My apologies if you felt it ridiculous.

Ritz-Carlton has great new ships. I sailed with them earlier this year and have another one booked with a client next month. Viking: Skews older, but superb service and inclusions. Comfortable rooms. GREAT spa. Azamara: Used to be great, but they got bought out during COVID and haven't bounced back. Ponant: Beautiful ships, but terrible service and a general feeling of being unorganized. Explora: MSC's luxury line just started sailing. They need a year to shakedown, but the ships themselves look beautiful. Four Seasons Yacht: Just announced with renderings, but ships aren't yet on the water. Paul Gaugin is really looking long in the tooth. They need to drydock, but don't have plans anytime soon.

Different take: The client should have said something beforehand. This client knew exactly what he was doing. If this was a learning exercise, make sure to learn to not let people walk all over you.

Male days... Yes, as is tradition at most Russian Baths. This is not a gay bathhouse kinda thing. It's cultural. Like K spas, you go for actual therapeutic relaxation.

Perhaps real or perhaps bullshit. That's for him to decide for himself. It is, after all, his money to spend. You're also assuming that he's telling us the absolute truth and not getting lost in the fantasy. To suggest his behavior comes from 'self hate' is pretty snap-judgemental for not knowing the guy personally and just spitballing on a (mostly) anonymous message board.

This board is no place for sexual judgement. If he's happy with putting together the fetish or scene, then he's the one in real control.

Ate here last night and it was pretty decent 👍

This is correct. There's always more to a story.

This might work for a subset of escorts who want to work shorter, hourly frames of time, but if you want to earn career money, I don't know if this is an ideal way to go. You never put your client on the spot with a focus group: It ruins what should have been a fun time spent by bringing it back to business. You can more easily email these kinds of questions later, if necessary. Guys- at least the men I see- aren't hiring me to be reminded that they're paying for my service. They want to relax, vacation, enjoy, cut loose and simply have a friend with them who makes it all flow and feel easy.

I workout. I fly. I do laundry. I pack. I repeat.

I'm gonna put this out there, but have you ever considered that clients treat you worse because you're a provider of color? Can of worms conversation, I know. But... Let's be real. I feel like minorities in this industry get the shit end of the stick a lot of times.
