  1. Seems a bit odd to me that only one of the shirtless images displays his tattoo sleeve, however, there does not appear to much of a timeline, which could mean he got the tattoo soon after the other photos were taken.

    I’ve never heard this either. Credit bureaus want to see that you have paid off debts over time like cars and houses and other loans. Also really important is the ratio of credit you use in a given period vs how much total credit you have. Making payments on time is key, whether or not you carry a balance. Longevity and number of accounts is helpful too.

    Re: points and Amex…

    Good for you setting automatic bill payments with your credit card. I do the same. Amex charges merchants up the ass in processing fees though. That’s one of the reasons you get such generous points and why some merchants won’t accept Amex. Costco, for instance won’t accept Amex. Remember that when hiring or supporting a local business you care for using your card to pay. Lots of clients in this industry pay cash anyways, so there’s not much I can grumble about.

    Still, those points come directly out of merchant pockets and indirectly back into your own pockets via points benefits. When you use Amex (and other cards with point benefits) to pay me, I am essentially subsidizing your appliance purchases by getting less of the face value money you paid me. I would rather you pay for your own vacations and goods than tax me for it. But that’s just me. Policies and fees vary between credit card processors. It matters more in some cases and not at all in others. I accept Amex and try not to think about it very much.

    After all, I would rather have your business with a small chunk taken out than not have the business at all!

     

    Your explanation for accepting Amex has given me the understanding for how they have been able to sustain their upper range processing fees.  I use my Amex card sparingly largely because some merchants won't accept it.

    $1000/(4) hrs = $250/(1) hr

    Confirmed, 250/hr is below the going rate for the more in demand men in LA. My understanding: LA is $300+, and a lot of them $350+. LA folks feel free to correct me.

    $500+/hr is still laughable in most markets, but it’s out there. Those guys typically do not derive their primary income from in-person provider work.

    I’m even lower: $1000/(5) hrs = $200/hr, but then again it’s all a matter of perspective on value, what your budget is, and how long you want to hire for. Some clients see an excellent value in hiring me for 4-5 hrs for that price. $200/hr is a steal when you’re prepared to hire for multiple hours. Others (more commonly) are paying me $300-$500 for just one or two hours. 

    Yes, thank you, I'm aware of "$1000/(4) hrs = $250/(1) hr," my "upwards of $500/hr." is based upon the statement within the posting to which I responded which reads "$1000 for four hours is below the going rate for the most in demand escorts in LA. Who get more than that for two hours."
