I think you were trying to quote @Medin

is asking for a discount while approaching someone a good form of "professionalism"?

I have a feeling some folks will PM you asking you to name names...

The stimulus package lifted the FDIC from 100,000 to 250,000 which is very useful for small businesses. Should it be increased? Would we pay higher fees in order to get more protection? A "bank run" was avoided...

and hiring escorts...

Ain't that obvious! Unfortunately to some he or she is not that clear. Personally I don't want to die on that hill in 2024...

Great point! Without a doubt escorting will take some time from his private life, some escorts simply have to be available in case their phone rings. At the end of the day it's all about the choices we make! "I block all my clients on Grindr". "I also block folks who might be clients in the future".

The escorts are glad some people want to bargain/work on the price? I don't know if you ever run a business but put yourself in their place. Someone who successfully charges 400 in New York doesn't have to go to the Midwest to make a living adding paying airfare and hotel room to their expenses. Taking this slightly of subject I know escorts who target small markets because of less competition. What's the percentage of escorts you approach who significantly drop the price to you? Most Americans can't afford $300 but that's an amount of money that won't break the bank either. I have a retired friends who drives Uber and dedicates that money to hire escorts, most folks who own a car and work 8 hours a day could do the same.

he's no twink but he used to be one

Yes, out of 52 reviews 5 recent ones say his pictures are either outdated or not accurate.

At least nowadays those countries have politics instead of guerilla, terrorism, dictatorships, coups, etc. Here Independents and those who call themselves moderates as not as they claim to be as a badge of honor and to make their opinion matter most.

Good point, I remember ads in the Washington Blade saying "in shape only", I guess back then average meant something else and the word "toned" wasn't used. Instead of posting preferences I would rather providers simply asking for stats, unfortunately some clients don't always describe themselves accurately.

They won't let you in without a reservation. Also good luck trying to see the Arizona memorial unless you get the tickets long time before.

https://gostateparks.hawaii.gov/diamondhead/reservation-details Reservations for a museum... but to visit a crater? This is too much, why don't they just charge an entry fee when folks line up at the entrance instead of all this unnecessary bureaucracy.

Swiftonomics: The Economics of Taylor Swift & Swifties INSIGHTS.MASTERWORKS.COM Taylor Swift's fandom and the recent Ticketmaster Eras Tour debacle can show us the intricacies of the music industry economy. OP note: this subject is no joke! Skyrocketing demand by folks who sometimes can barely afford it and have other needs and liabilities like college debt, limited supply of concerts, price gouging by AI, and monopoly accusations by an underregulated market. Swiftonomics is here to stay and expand to other industries?

Let's see paid sexcations or those where we expect to get laid for free? The later depends on how you look and what kind of men you like. I remember the Spartacus Gay Guide always included "cruising areas" with AYOR (at your own risk) warnings but I'm sure few places have a "street scene" and in most of them folks are looking at their iPhones. Back to subject: Rio, Santorini, Ptown, Palm Springs?

He occasionally goes on RM to advertise before retiring again. Very hot guy but not too interactive!

Don Lemon terminated by CNN: ‘I am stunned’ WWW.FOX4NEWS.COM “After 17 years at CNN, I would have thought that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly." Don Lemon revealed Monday on social... OP note: and stabbed in the back by mgt.

Me too, he made LMFAO! Sad that he's gone nowadays when his art is under attack and vilify as the source of all evil in some channels. Before this year some folks never even heard of drag queens and now they're constantly in the news.

I know many providers who started working that way. One of them in the sanctuary of Fatima in Portugal someone simply made him an offer in the restroom and he said why not easy money. Later on he developed a career out of it!.

I understand the need for reservations when a new museum opens up or for a special event but I think in most cases is unnecessary and is also annoying having to log in, book a specific time instead of just show up at the museum as we used to do.

Grand Egyptian Museum – Estimated opening: Late-2023 GRANDEGYPTIANMUSEUM.ORG Estimated opening: Late-2023 OP note: I can't wait to go back to Egypt and see this museum!

There’s a morning-after pill to prevent sexually transmitted infections WWW.VOX.COM Why aren’t more doctors prescribing it? OP note: I don't think antibiotics should be taken unless they're needed.

Asking for a discount in a first encounter is like showing a coupon while ordering, you know you'll get more rice, potatoes, etc. Having said that I've had a few arrangements when I would see someone weekly for a lower rate. When craigslist got rid of the personals all of the sudden many escorts were flooded with bargain seekers.
