Why are there no containers that have some type of hinged or pop-up cap that can be easily opened with a thumb rather than the awkward screw-on top.

Same here - I have guys who messaged me that I otherwise would not have met.
It captures my attention and gets me interested Also, frequently I receive no response to texts I send to guys (stating a definitive interest in meeting with a proposed date and time) and sitting around waiting for days sucks. If someone messages me I know they are interested.

I'm a client but I gotta tell ya, that follow-up tactic works really well for some of us. It got me into an overnight session really quick a few months ago. I checked out his profile, moved on to looking at other options, got his message and started chatting... couple hours later we were hanging out at a hotel for the night. He got $1500 out of me from that follow-up message, with little effort.
 
Some clients don't like to be bothered with it. Some of us respond well to the attention.

I'm envious of you guys.
A pervy guy folllowed me into a JC Pennys changing room once - before I knew what "pervy" was. That's about it.
(I did have an uncle who told me he would pay me to get lost, but I don't think that counts.)

I was "approached" by an older businessman when I was in college. At the time, I was too clueless to figure out what the hell he was asking. If I'd known then......what I know now......

When I was in my early 20s and an impecunious grad student, I decided to try hustling one day. (There were no escorts in those days, because there was no gay media in which to advertise as one.) I knew where to go downtown to try to get picked up by someone who would pay, and I did it for several hours (I was young enough to be able to cum multiple times in one day), but I realized it was not something I was very good at, because I had a hard time performing with men I wasn't attracted to, so I didn't continue.
 
Around the same age, I was introduced to a man who was looking for a kept boy, and I had a few dates with him. He was a doctor who was in his early 50s, and I found him quite attractive, which was the main problem: I could have enjoyed having an affair with him as equal partners, but I couldn't have been comfortable being used as a boytoy. When I explained that to him, he made it clear that he was looking for someone who would simply fulfill a utilitarian role, not complicate his emotional life, so we became merely casual social friends.

When I was 17 (few decades ago...) and living in Milan, Italy, very cute and shy (and a gay virgin), being a young opera lover I once saw a small music store basically dedicated to classical music and opera. I went in to buy an opera in LPs (LPs...!!) and there was the owner, a man in his late 40s/early 50s. He was very friendly and taken by my unusual passion for my age. Married with kids. I spent a good hour there, he started to tell me stories about past famous singers, all the famous old productions at La Scala which he saw, he would put records on for me to listen to. At the end he actually gave me a record for free (...) and told me to go back anytime to chat. (...).
I knew I was gay and I never told anybody, but I wasn't at all attracted to him. I felt something wasn't exactly "friendly behavior", but I was genuinely interested in his opera knowledge.
After 2/3 times I visited him, he told me I was very cute, he asked me if I ever had sex with a man, I said no, he smiled and he closed the door of his store. He took me to the back room and I lost my virginity there. I really didn't enjoy it particularly, but hey, what did I know? Before I left he gave me 10,000 liras (about 12$ of that time) because he wanted me to "enjoy some fun with friends".
I left a bit in shock for the loss of my virginity and for my extra 10,000 Liras I had in my wallet (I think my parents gave me around that amount for a month as a "salary" for my pocket money).
I went back I would say once a week during a couple of months to listen to records, to fuck in the back room and to get my 10,000 liras (once he gave 20,000 actually!), until I realized I really didn't like to have sex with him and I also felt it wasn't a "kosher" thing to do (also because I was totally in the closet, we are talking about the late 70s in Italy...), so after the last fuck I told him I didn't want to do it anymore, I proudly told him I didn't want money that time, and that it was better for me not to see him anymore.
So yes, I "escorted" in my teens! ?
 
6/7 years later (I already had totally come out of the closet, started to really enjoy sex and I even had a boyfriend) one day I was passing by his store and I decided to go inside. He greeted me, looked happy to see me, he told me I had become very handsome but he understood there was no chance anymore with me, so we chatted about music and life for a bit and I left.
I left Italy 32 years ago, but I went back to see my family at least once every year since.
 
About 10 years ago one evening I went to La Scala in Milan to see an opera, and in between acts while I was making time in the foyer I saw this older gentleman together with a guy in his early 20s. Of course I recognized the older man, so I approached him and told him my name, that I used to be an old client (...) of his store and that I really enjoyed our chats about music back then. He told me he wasn't really sure he remembered me, but anyway he introduced me to his "grandson", and after 3 minutes of chit chat I said bye and left.
 
I am curious to know how many Euros was he giving to his "grandson". ?

Such a shame....
Had these cops used their investigative resources for better purposes, the fatalities caused by the Las Vegas shooter could have probably been prevented.
 
I’m literally visualizing this guy walking right past undercover cops with BAGS of artillery and assault weapons, while they are steaking-out escorts and call girls...

It happens in many ways, shapes and forms, especially in Las Vegas. There is no other city in the USA where the activities of vice is so prevalent. Although they MOSTLY target the straight world, it happens plenty when they "go both ways" ... Typically, they do it all, so can't tell you how it goes down "typically". Female undercover officers sit at bars and try to pick you up (haven't heard of men doing it to other men) and male officers do the same thing to women. Vice, printing out hundreds of ads and dialing like there is no tomorrow. Using emails to set up dates, chat features, text messages. They really do it all.
 
They don't want to imprison you for this, but the county really needs the revenue that derives from it. That may be one of the reasons why someone (I have read it) who was the top offender in Las Vegas got arrested for solicitation over 130 times and only served jail time TWICE. It is all about the revenue!
 
When I visited a good client of mine and popped up my usual question of "so what brings you to town" he swiftly responded: "A court date".
 
...so turns out he hired a masseur online and it was vice. They arrested him and searched his room. Turns out he was in town with his ex boyfriend who happened to have drugs in the room. Later on the solicitation charge was dropped simply because the DA knew they had no case against him whatsoever (Vegas is very peculiar in that regards, vice needs to meet quotas and they care less about the "strength of the case"), but they ended up charging him with a much greater issue (possession of drugs) and the legal defense was rather costly for him.
 
As I said, Vegas is a special case in many ways when it comes to this line of work. No entrapment laws here, forget about local vs. foreign number, sometimes they go as far as dressing up as an Arab sheikh (actually it was in one of the episodes of cops), cheap room vs. big suite (virtually all hotels participate) and if you read the penal code, it is written in a very vague way that opens up to a lot of different ways of interpretation. Add to the mix that many people think solicitation is "all legit" here; spoiler alert: It is NOT!
 
Sadly, one of Daddy's golden rules of "know the law" doesn't necessarily protect you from an arrest, but it does protect you from convictions. There are certain guidelines you can implement for yourself to try to mitigate risk, but if LE wants you, they will have you (whether it is a legtimate arrest or not, they care less). I am not an attorney and the above one is not a legal advice, just my personal opinion and experience of 10+ years in Las Vegas, so consult an attorney to know how the law applies in your situation.

There’s something about being able to make someone squirm and control & edge them that’s exciting.

I agree. Making flippant remarks about someone's misfortune is not an admirable trait. From what I read, Alam is a hardworking, pleasant, and honest young man who provides services that should be, it seems to me, a valued commodity especially by members of THIS site. Keeping large amounts of money in one's home is not a particularly smart move, but perhaps there are personal and cultural reasons for doing so, none of which are anybody's business but his. Whatever the reason, I hope he recoups his money, the villain is apprehended, and Alam continues to provides his services.

The empathy on this forum sometimes is underwhelming ?

Sixty years ago today, I was approached in the Port Authority bus terminal in New York by an attractive young man who introduced himself as "Michel." He was tall and slender, with black hair and blue eyes, and he asked, "Are you gay?" I wasn't sure what he was asking--he had a slight accent (I later learned he was French Canadian), but I thought perhaps there was a slight language problem, and he was probably asking whether I was feeling light-hearted and in a mood for some friendly fun. "Yes!" I beamed back. He suggested that we go back to his place, which turned out to be a room in an old tenement on the Lower East Side, with a communal bathroom down the hall. As soon as the door closed behind us, he practically ripped my clothes off, and proceeded to take me through the standard repertoire of male-on-male sexual acts: oral/anal/top/bottom. I had never had sex with a man before, and to me the most thrilling part was the passionate kissing during much of it.
 
After a couple of hours and several climaxes, we finally started to get dressed again. "Wow!" I gushed. "I didn't know some of those things were possible!" He stopped and gave me a puzzled look. "But you said you were gay?" It was my turn to look confused. "Umm, maybe I don't understand what you meant...." It suddenly dawned on him that I was much less experienced than he had assumed. For the next half hour he gave me a vocabulary lesson about what we had been doing (e.g., I thought that 'rim' was a noun, not a verb), and explained what it meant to say that I was "gay." By the time I got back on the bus to my home in the suburbs (I learned I was a "bridge and tunnel queen"), I felt much more sophisticated than when I had arrived, and I had a new word to identify myself. So wherever you are, Michel, thank you for teaching me what it meant to be "gay."

As Warren Buffet is alleged to have said regarding old age and money “I want the last check I write to bounce.”
 
I’m just getting a head start.

I actually love this question.
 
I'd say that us as providers are at huge disadvantages compared to other gays.

At the very least, we may or may not be able to tell potential friends what we actually do.
Providers have to have some level of availability. Having a lot of friends doesn't leave a ton of time for that.
Some say you should find friends by joining activities, which gives you less time for appointments.
By having less time, people will begin to exclude you from activities since you won't be able to do them.

[*]For us who travel, being out of town a lot leaves less time to find and develop relationships.
[*]I've tried saying "befriend other escorts - they'll get it". But escorts are competitive (we've heard of the mafias in cities), and they may think you have an ulterior motive.
[*]Related to what has been said above - many gay relationships are based off of sex. As we get paid to have sex, it can be hard to want to base relationships off of that.


It's funny - when people would ask "How're you doing during COVID?" I'm like "Well I've learned to spend long periods of time by myself in largely one room."
 
Now I won't go into some of the dismissive, divisive and heteronormative comments made above.
 
But two reasons why it's easier to form relationships with clients because:

The transactional nature means the expectations are out on the table
Those clients you see on a regular repeating basis it can be easy to befriend just by the repeating nature of it.

A couple of notes as this is a hobby topic of mine:
 

Even if you were to close every credit account you have, it would continue to report on your credit report for up to another 10 years. (Bad info such as late payments have to be removed after 7.5 years.)
You can view your credit report for FREE and without any impact to your score by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com and requesting a report from each of the big 3 bureaus.
In terms of scoring, various behaviors represent how many points you have (or not awarded). Details can be found at: https://www.myfico.com/credit-education/whats-in-your-credit-score
For MAXIMUM scoring in the "Amounts Owed", you would want to have each revolving trade line (such as a credit card) report a $0 balance except for ONE which would report less than 10%. (The statement should be generated at $0. For the statement generating with less than 10%, you can immediately pay it off after it reports and not incur interest). This technique is referred to as "All Zero Except One".
If you're trying to maximize your score, you should have at least 3 revolving accounts reporting. (Having at least three accounts gains a few extra points which tend to be more than penalties associated with lowering the Average Age of Accounts and the inquiry ding).

Great ass for a skinny guy!
