I cringe when people feel they have to warn me about their ethnicity or color but I do my best to convey that none of that matters to me.

Well said, Vin, but I would not be concerned that clients felt the need to mention it, only that it would matter to an escort. I think I have already warned you that I am old-ish!!

Glenn you got more spunk in you than me!

Brian, you're pretty much out there too, don't sell yourself short.

There may be a stork involved somehow but that's not really my kink.

Had to laugh at that line!

Oh Brian, I would snuggle with you any time, who knows what might happen!!

I can fully understand why people would want to hire to just snuggle. It sounds HOT! If that is what you want, you should just pay the asking price and get on with it. What I would say is, if that is how you start out be prepared to have a full-on fuck sessi0n. If I hired a guy for a snuggle and he wanted to upgrade it to a serious fuck I would love that!

Hysterical! Ty for sharing Señor Carey! This should also go on the Friday Funnies thread

Thanks True! I love to share what Australian comics have to say!

The other I would recommend is Thor Maelstrom in Vancouver (of Juan and Thor fame). Amazing in bed and crazy hot body. One of the best ever!

I had looked at both and thought Oohlala! Only thoughts so far, my usual reserve precludes further actions!

Another First Dog on the Moon take on something, this time Uber.

When's our date?

I'll let you know.

Oh wait, you weren't talking to me! My bad.

Juan, thanks for continuing to post despite some negativity. I can see why some clients might think escorts like more info rather than less so they can filter potential clients that they don't find attractive or that don't fit their hirer characteristics, but I doubt many would do so. And when an escort says he doesn't do that I believe him, unless I have firm evidence to the contrary.

The examples you cite about how client information enables you to determine whether you are a match, and if so how it enables you to tailor the meeting make perfect sense to me. The fact that you are prepared to tell a potential client that you don't think you're a match, or that part of his expectations for the meeting are unrealistic is a sign to me that you take your job seriously.

On confidence, I don't go into any meeting with an air of self-confidence, or that I know exactly what I want and will make it happen. I do go in comfortable in my own skin, having a good idea of what I want and being confident that if I am paying my partner he will be able to encourage me, and that despite any hesitation on my part that I will have a good time!

Welcome to the forum, BigRic, there are some seriously nice people here, some not so nice, but you'll work that out!

9 can come and visit me any time he likes!

I live in NYC and don't mind paying 250 approximately...But I am reluctant to agree to 300 as the 'base' rate.

I have seen a few ads that say the escort charges $xxx and although a tip is nice, the base charge is a lot of money so they don't expect a tip.

Unlike the late 1970s, when EVERYTHING was going up at the same time. So it's not bogus, not everything is some vast conspiracy to fool you.

Quite so. Here, the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) which produces the consumer price index (CPI ) figures weights the figures according to how often you make whatever purchase they are looking at. They also produce two figure, an underlying rate that deletes volatile items like fresh fruit and vegetables and fuel, and a headline rate that includes them. It also produces an inflation rate that looks at the sort of things that seniors buy. Government pensions here are actually indexed to 25% of average male earnings, not CPI.

Oh my! The last three pics!

Fascinating. Seems like they thought it through. Might be a model for an "everybody (especially customers) wins" philosophy regarding this type of service.

Uber starts in Canberra today (30 Oct). 280 drivers have been through the compulsory govenment police, health and safety checks. No-one knows how many will be on the road today, of course.

nice new avi

I like your new avatar as well, Brian, but you knew I thought is was good!

Allez les Blue Jays!

Sorry, those beards don't do it for me!

Nice to see what Lilibet saw in Philip.

Oh he was quite the hottie at the time! You have to admire a couple who have been married for 68 years.

Wonderful images!

We are all pulling for you, buddy.

I'm glad you didn't say that we are all rooting for you, as that would have given a most unfortunate impression to your Australian audience!
