I think it's a remake, isn't it? LOL

What's the Dr. Seuss rhyme? I am Sam. Sam I am. More like, I am Sam. Holy Daaayummmm! 🥰😛😍

I realize this is a two year old post from someone who probably isn't posting here anymore, but to the one who posted this, from the bottom of my bottom, Thank You!

I know, Bozo, I know. One should not send deposits. But there is this guy here and damn I want to see him. He requires a deposit so I haven't yet booked him. But DAYAAM!!! Suppose one just has to answer the question whether or not it's worth the chance.

Hard to believe it would be a sting operation in NYC. Now if it were Nashville I'd believe it. That place has a history of trying to catch male escorts and their clients. At least in the 90's and early 00's. Maybe they are not so zealous these days now in that area. Time flies as they say. I forget that was thirty years or so ago. Guess I should not be so paranoid anymore. Comes with aging and my fuzzy brain I suppose. Sorry Nashville, didn't mean to offend you.

Remember that ole Western movie "Shane?" The last scene, the kid yelling, "Shane! Shane! Come back Shane!" That's me, except instead of Shane one can insert, "Swinging Richards." Damn I miss that place. SIGH!!!

Says he's straight. Also says anything goes, listing all sorts of things can't say I've ever tried. Is he pretty? Gorgeous IMHO. Is it a real or fake ad? My bullshit alarm is ringing off the hook.

Yes, I'm very much looking forward to the Cape Verde vs Curacao showdown. Sends shudders down my spine.

I stopped at Czech Republic. The question is often asked for whom would you spend $1000. Him. Fantasy and all, yep, but HIM!

Be funny to send a text to: "Hey, um.....King?, I mean your royal highness, I mean Sir Magnum?.......Sorry, how many X's is that, Sir?"

Just think of it as a first date. Where would you usually go? More importantly, where would you go where you feel completely comfortable. A fancy place might make you behave differently than your friendly chain sponsored bar and grill. Don't go to a very noisy place though, where you can't hear one another speak. It's most important that YOU are comfortable and can be just who you are. Be yourself!

I would need to be very much in to the guy and sure about his history. It's a real intimate moment indeed but better be damn sure of his overall health. It's not just that one particular virus that can be passed from person to person. And I know thinking about all this stuff is a real turn off. Damn I wish all of this were easier. SIGH!!!!

After about a week here are some thoughts. 1. USA looked amazing, especially in the first half. Was shocked to see how well they played; aggressive, yet tight at the back (a trait we can all be thankful for.) Christian Pulisic was the spark plug. Suffered a slight calf injury; hope it's nothing serious. 2. France looked awesome, very much like the best team; while Spain looked lethargic and uninterested. 3. Watching the champions Argentina as we speak. Early on they seem solid and ready to go. Yep, Messi just scored.* They're in it but good. 4. Norway had a great first game against Iraq. The world's (probable) best player Erling Haaland was spectacular, scoring two of their four goals. 5. Can't wait for tomorrow's game here in Dallas between England and Croatia. Ought to be a thrilla'. *Messi just scored his THIRD goal tonight. A "hat trick." At this level, very rare, almost impossible it seems. Sorry Erling, I spoke too soon. Messi is the GOAT and STILL the best player in the world. (Almost gave myself a stiffie watching his excellence; His Excellency!)

I really love this, whoever put it together. Yes, still obsessing over this show. SIGH!.........

Long time ago, but I remember their "cheer" went something like this: Ra Ra Raid-a Alpha Tau Omega Hip-er-ra Hip-er-ra Three cheers for Alpha Tau RA.....RA......RA....... YAY!!!!!!!!!

Hummmm.......It does look a lot like some of those AI pics we run across from time to time. Otherwise those are photos that look heavily air brushed.

I very much like Mike Gaite. I appreciate that this is his full time job and that he works his tail off. It's impossible to please everyone, but he manages somehow to be a top of the line escort. I wish him nothing but success.

If you have escorted before you probably know most of this stuff: Guys who make that sort of money work their tails off. Lots of things that successful guys have to do on a regular basis may seem mundane, tedious, and unnecessary to the provider. These things often do not immediately pay off, and they take up a lot of your time. Some of these might be: 1. Polite and timely communication with a client or potential client. Do you respond to texts or emails in a timely manner, and with courtesy and friendliness, regardless of how the client may be communicating with you? 2. Being the highest priced guy in your market. Every time I see an ad with the phrase (and similar) "Upscale clients only," it makes me cringe. 3. Advertise. A lot. Get your name, FACE, and best characteristics on as many platforms you can find. 3. Get used to the fact that you are going to be criticized; often times unjustly. You are providing a fantasy experience. No matter how hard you try, there will be some who will take potshots against you because the experience did not meet the clients expectation of the fantasy. 4. Clients will cancel on you. A lot. Clients will schedule a time and then back out. There are a hundred reasons why a client might cancel. Ran out of money; got too nervous to go through with the appointment; something came up; client decided he really wasn't up for a session at the last minute. And on and on. Much of this you probably already know. In answer to your actual question, "what might a reasonably successful independent provider realistically expect to net per year in the current environment? If you work all the time and dedicate yourself to (within reason) the old saying "The customer is always right," an income of high five figures or low six figure income is not totally out of the question. Unfortunately: 1. The economy is a mess right now. Many clients are hiring less frequently than they used to. Which for many of us creates fewer discretionary dollars. 2. You are older now than you used to be. Experience is a great thing to have. I bet you're heavenly in bed. But many guys prefer than young dude, who, in my experience, often disappoints in the sack due to the lack of said experience. 3. If you will travel for work your expenses wiil eat you alive. Hard to believe how expensive everything is now. 4. Broadly and generally speaking, people are pissed off these days. Lots of reasons why; we all know them. I think it's harder now than it was ten years ago to create the fantasy potential clients are looking for. Anyway these are the things which popped into my brain then out onto this page at the beginning of another lovely day in Dallas. I'm sure other clients, wiser and more experienced than am I, can give you better feedback. But the subject was interesting. Thanks for posing the question and Good Luck.

I have always been perfectly fine when the appointment ends earlier than the scheduled time period due to my "finishing up." Don't feel any need to make the provider hang around when both of us are done. It's fine for me, in fact usually I'd rather just leave when we're done. If it's an overnight of course, that's different. I would have scheduled an overnight with one of the goals being to get to know the provider, and I appreciate the extra time cuddling, or having breakfast in bed, or taking a shower together. That stuff is fun for me. But, to each his own.

Even two years later from when this thread started, YOU, my friend, are just fine. I'd secure your services if you were closer. Hope you have hung in and done as well as possible in your chosen profession. As you have no doubt figured out by now, a thick skin can serve you well around these parts. Usually it's just one poster that will say or do something ugly. Hope you have figured out that almost all of the posters here think you are fine just the way you are.

Had a burger and fries from Culvers recently. It's a burger joint out of Wisconsin, making inroads into our area. It was delicious. But my Lord, the calories, the fat content. Definitely a place to visit no more than once a month or so. Sooooo good.

Meeegain doesn't want drama. LOL

Unusual pic coming from PBS.

You could bend him into a pretzel, or whatever shape your fantasies desire.

Wow! Must depend upon chemistry. Whodathunkit?
