Coming out of the pandemic lockdown and the end of a life long relationship of decades duration (better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all).  For me, equally if not more important than physical attraction is an emotional connection.  I suffer no illusions and understand this is a bargained for exchange.  Any feedback or input regarding a go slow, patient provider in los angeles with whom a rapport is easy to establish gratefully received.

My friend used to be a female escort, and one of the reasons they charge more is because most rent hotel rooms for sessions. It's just not safe for women to do out calls with strangers, and certainly not in calls. There are just a ton of horror stories when it comes to straight men being highly aggressive and having that be the norm that female escorts experience.

I've also been interested in seeing Joe but am just going to wait to see if he shows up at future shows more regularly. It feels like Adonis shows have been very hit or miss during the pandemic.
Justa few years back they would have some of THE hottest men you could ever see but I feel like sites like OF have changed things up a lot.

I don’t agree. They’re the client…they choose the time that works for them. If I’m free then fine..it gets booked. If I’m busy then sorry I can’t do it and we all move on. If they mess around a lot with scheduling it’s always my option to simply decline to engage or block them, which I do occasionally. 
This is a customer service business. I’m not expecting my customers to consider what else I’m doing or whether my plans get messed up etc. They want to see me at a certain time so it’s then over to me to decide yes or no. It’s as simple as that. What else is happening in my life / schedule is my issue not theirs.
I don’t travel to other cities, all my business is in London. That makes logistics simpler. I think if I travelled it would make things too complicated but still it would be my choice to operate like that and so my issue to deal with the complications. 

Oh fuck me, seriously.  This?  This is what's important?  A beautiful young man with a great ass....if it weren't for that splotch hair on his chest.  Oh well, not meant to be, Swiping left.

Really handsome and muscular

I have pretty limited experiences with hiring, but pretty much every guy I've seen so far has either rescheduled days or shifted the scheduled time we set in advance. I get that things happen sometimes, but as a client hiring someone for the first time, it makes me a little nervous, especially when it's the day of a session. It makes me worry that the escort isn't serious or focused on making the session a good one.
Is it just a common thing to constantly ask clients to shift around a scheduled appointment?

I can confirm Joe was there tonight but left after only two hours. Didn't get a chance to dance with him but I did in Feb. at the last party.

gosh this thread is getting tiresome. It has gone on so long that at 7% curent inflation the amoutn we are talking about being supposedly outreageous would now be $425... We should have locked in a $400 rate on some sort of a lease arrangment so it didn't go up 
And as for the tax discussion... shouldn't we be paying health insurance? And are we matching on any 401(k) contributions? 
A lot of moving parts here. 

You should probably avoid escorts. It will be good for you, and great for them.

I think it’s bad form to do that. Once a time and date is settled and agreed I try my best to stick to it and will very rarely ask to alter it. I cancelled a client a month ago because I’d double booked myself by mistake (caused by confusion over time zones) but would never cancel or reschedule because the time no longer suited me.
I think sometimes what happens is the escort has a better offer or is trying to squeeze in an additional client or activity, so he tries to reschedule to make it all work. 
It isn’t very professional to do that and I think would annoy clients so I don’t do it unless it’s essential. Once an agreement is made then it’s not going to change unless I’m sick.
Unfortunately on the other side you do get clients who book but then cancel last minute or even fail to show. Today I had a client booked for a certain time during the day but he asked to bring it forward by half hour. I was free so I agreed. No problem.
It works both ways…people get delayed or sick so I’m always willing to take these things into consideration. 
 

So I’ve been wanting to do this for some time, I want to create content that has intimacy, emotion and authenticity. 
 
I love role play and want to recreate some lifelong fantasies, recreate scenarios I wish had happened.
I think we all could use that today. 
(so yes this does belong in fetish;)

I like for a guy to flex and pose for me while he tries on various thongs, jocks, and singlets. Love to feel a guy's pecs (esp un-flexed) and biceps. Getting more into oiling a guy up (found that sweet almond oil works well as cleans up more easily than baby oil). I like to suck and rim. Many guys will let me do that, even the ones who say they are straight and muscle worship only.

You seem to be getting very upset by an off handed comment someone made. Maybe take a break from the forum for a bit? You've literally resorted to saying that people here are "predisposed to be jerks and assholes". Come on now. It's truly not that serious.

Relax @CuriousSub, enjoy and allow yourself to feel whatever you’re feeling but always being aware you are hiring someone to satisfy your desires and money is the glue to that relationship. Have fun and try no to get hurt 😊

I'm a millennial and so are most of my friends. We almost never chat on the phone as texting/messaging is just much easier. I really only talk to my parents on the phone or sometimes my siblings, but I also am someone who doesn't enjoy talking on the phone because I'm often doing things that would require me to stop and have a conversation.
I know that gen z is even bigger on texting and messaging than millennials. I love being able to have conversations with friends, but I'd much rather do that in person when hanging out than over the phone. 

I say more power to the people who are able to charge what they want for their time/services. I imagine that if any of us were running a business and had people come up to us to complain about prices, we'd just tell them to move on and hope that they find someone who fits the bill better. If you have something I want, it's not my place to tell you that you should be charging me less for it.

At what distance is it acceptable to be charged for transportation?
The distance at which you and the provider agree.

It doesn't bother me at all because they're not entitled to my money and I'm not entitled to their service. If I see a guy I like and I feel like he's charging "too much", it's up to me to decide if it's worthwhile to make the investment. I'm not gonna get in my feelings and complain about the fact that he feels like his time is worth more.
If I'm out shopping for clothes or food or car insurance, I don't get upset because some shops charge more. I find one that I feel is appealing and at a cost I'm okay with. No sense in getting worked up.

While that makes sense, I'd be more worried about having a stranger in my home. If a guy is looking like trouble and you're at his place, it's much easier to make an exit than figure out how to get him to leave your place.

xyZ, let me flesh out Slater's argument after an analogy.  
Imagine, on Craigslist, I see four separate, desirable, pairs of tickets to Sparks at Disney Hall.  I may justify messaging all 4 people simultaneously, with some questions, because there are flakes on Craigslist so I'm hedging my bet, one of the ticket sets may be bargained cheaper than the other three, and I'd like to finish this transaction as quickly as possible.
I'm expanding Kevin's argument to state that messaging all four individuals simultaneously is selfish, and we expect/hope you will see why it is. 
In case you don't, here's why.  If I purchase one ticket set, of the 4 available, I very well may hear back from some of the other individuals.  What do I say to that individual, "sorry, you were too slow, other people were able to accommodate my laundry list of wants before you did."  That person had a reasonable expectation that when I inquired about his tickets I was interested in his tickets, not other people's tickets too.  
This really is the difference between how we should interact with individuals in business vs. companies that prioritize, or at least feign to prioritize, our convenience and wants and take the hits when they come.  Respectful business between individuals is a business of mutual consideration.
 

The landscape of escorting is much larger than the little picture you are looking at. In this forums the prices discussed are mostly Rentmen standard, not the highest end, but quite high. This forum is not representative of the whole world of escorting, and those posters who are actually "over-informed" know that. 
If you like driving, and join a club where everyone drives Ferraris, and you cannot afford it, you do not start bitching about it. Instead, you get a Honda Civic, which is an excellent car.
