Hehe, yeah, at the gathering in Palm Springs almost everyone told me that they didn't realize I was so tall. I hear it all the time, doesn't come across in pictures I guess.

Welcome to the forum, Jaxton (yes I know you posted a couple of times late last year). I've seen a few of your scenes and liked them.

Perhaps we all needed this as kids!

I'm not into 3-ways just yet, and I hesitate because of the potential drama of trying to arrange two other guys, either hires or hook-ups, with whom I would expect it would work. Now, these two guys look like being able to walk through the door and make up a ready made 3-some!

At my nephew's college graduation today, those in the over-50 group were comparing various joint surgeries, to which one aunt leaned over to graduate and said, "when you get old, all you talk about is your body parts."
 
Without missing a beat, my nephew said, "that's all college kids talk about, too. It's just different body parts."

And then coming second in the contest?

I just decided I like you, you're a smooth talker!

In its article about the increasing prevalence of airline wi-fi, the Economist noted, 'And Instagram will be even more awash with pictures of passengers’ tepid airline food.'

I have a copy of the Piddle Valley cook book!

I volunteer to suck 'em - suck that chocolate right off them nuts!

Yes and it has a sister city relationship with Dull in Scotland, and the Bland Shire in central-west NSW.

Lol. We always end in the same place. For most questions, there are as many answers as people involved. There is no standard in this industry. I guess we have to be open and perceptive to get to know the other as much as possible, and make a decision. It is not what we think we should do in an hypothetical situation, but what it is the best to do in specific circumstances.

Agree, keep it to yourself and don't put yourself in a position where you might inadvertently let slip things you have discovered. You may well find, however, that he discloses some of these things when you are chatting. Don't let on that you already knew. Also don't look at his personal stuff again before your meeting - if you do that, your recollections may blur so you will be less inclined to speak of them during your meeting.

Clients pop up in my FB "you may know" section, and I pop up in their's; it's a stupid world. As the saying goes: They promised us flying cars, we got 140 characters.

For the life of me I will never understand why people do this kind of sleuthing. Checking the review sites and anything related to their professional reputation is understandable, but the kind of sleuthing that so many people do is just a nice word for stalking and it puts you in this exact awkward situation.
 
I understand an image search if you think the guy might be using someone else's pictures, but that's where I end it. It is sloppy on their part if they have the same photos on their personal and professional accounts, but I would stop immediately if I hit their personal Facebook account and never say a word that would make them uncomfortable.
 
Just like most clients want to control the release of their personal information, the pros should be afforded the same courtesy. It also makes it kind of special when / if they choose to reveal things of a personal nature.
