They're better off studying marketing or business administration. Content creation is inherenlty derivative of marketing anyhow.

China will be the world's biggest economy, partly due to its educated population. The USA still is hte biggest GDP but CHina will overtake it bar a massive catastrophe. In some metrics it is the biggest economy - by PPP (Purchasing Power Parity). Countries need more graduates to compete and in key areas of future growth like AI.

Stay safe in Berlin. 🙏

I supppose in some jurisdictions it can be misrepresentation. But this is often for medical/therapeutic massage. then again, anybody can learn a tantra course or a basic massage course, or get certified by some sexual wellness body and learn in kind and practice.

if they advertise it on their ads, i don't see the issue. Maybe their contract expired, or they thought they could get a better deal from a new provider. One assumes thjey use a burner phone for escorting and nott their personal phone.

Mental Illness is assuming others care about your whims and needs. Or youR attitudes or views. I personally don’t care how long a post is. I’m not affected. Thus the question is why people who are strangers be bound to adhere to whatever subjective whim or expectation you hold.

A kind provider would probably let you go again, or just sti and talk. some, possibly most, would be "once you come, you're out!"

how someobdy uses a forum, provided it's within the rules, is their business. your subjective whims or likes aren't forum rules.

That’s his business

That’s their problem. Still, this inflation thing is overblown. They aren’t retail workers in minimum wage

Basic economics shows that inflation hits the lowest income earners the hardest. This is less likely to be escorts. Comparing esocrts to factory workers, nursery assistants, or mail delivery people is a stretch. These are often low-paid work, and escorting by and large isn't. there is also the avenue of onlyfans, manyvids, whch can act as a loop to get more clients or as supplementary income.

It's not common. Though i suppose they can spend it how they wish. Typically, most payments evidently are in terms of cash whether physical or electronic.

Escorts can earn hundreds in a day. Inflation? How many doing normal jobs earn hundreds per day? Few. Got little sympathy if prices generally are too high for them.

One thing I don’t get as a non American. Escorting is illegal in the us. So clearly there cannot be many police stings. Do the authorities not really care that much?

I would choose a few who I like and go in sequence. or contact a few at the same time and then whoever responds in a timely manner, I proceed with. Timely as in within an hour or two. I get they are busy or may have a client whilst I contact them. Those who don't respond, or respond after a two days or more, i discard mentally. Unless they give a reason why, or seem very apologetic. Users should respect escorts, of course, but such respect is two-way.

They have no culture, so had no choice.

They're people. They are providing a service. They should be treated respectfully. It's odd to suggest they shouldn't be.

perfectly normal. there is nothing they can do, and it's on them.

Rentmen care as long as there are enough people viewing their site and escorts having ads. I don't think the amount of ads rentmen has is a guide. Provided they have people viewing their site and satisfying their afilliate or Adsense quotas, that's it. It's like a newspaper with used cars ads. All they care about is making mony from peoep placing ads there. it's not their business if they actually get sold or not.

People bemoan the Founders for not tackling slavery. Jefferson tried to outlaw it in VA, though he failed. And many of them, whilst being slaveowners, did see the contradiction. They included slavery provisions in the Constitution to keep the southern states in line, as Georgia and the Carolinas would not have accepted it otherwise. The Civil War decades later was thus inevitable. Yes, the USA did need a Civil War to end slavery. It did commit native genocide, Jim Crow, Tuskegee experiments, etc. But then the personal computer, smartphone, reaching the Moon, the light bulb, etc. are some of its plusses.

America isn't perfect, no country can be but it's achieved a lot.

Stupid countries have laws? Or they're only stupid as they're laws you don't agree with since they don't meet your uber-liberal sensibilities?

people get into escoring for money or they're horny and it's a godo way to get money. and the reasons for moeny are varied - students, artists needed supplemental income, people who hook up on Grindr and realise they can make money from sex, people from marginalised groups who have no other means of income, etc.

More often than not, it is disingenuous lies or half-applied truths. as is much of this "kind" bs in "open" spaces. I guess it's a sin not to expect people to be shifty and not pose for social kudos.

Where did I agree? I disputed that paid sex isn't normal sex. It cannot be. The fact escorts do it as a literal vocation means there are different factors involved. Paid sex is just "this person has given me money for an act, OK, let's do it." No prior attraction, not the same level of desire. Your and his points are just pedantic waffling in truth. Moreover, yes, people making points should substantiate them. They made the point, after all. Saying "paid sex is normal sex" is a goofy point that belies nuance, and the realities of escorting and prostitution at large. that is MY opinion and you can lie if you cannot even apply a point like "everybody has the right to an opinion".
