Look at Kia/Hyundai/Genesis (especially the Genesis - super premium interior, reasonable price).  The Koreans have come light years in the last decade in terms of NVH and reliability.  Still a bit weak on the dealership/service experience, but Genesis is looking to change that.

Yep.

did have to look that up!.......  noise, vibration, harshness

You are why Buicks and Oldsmobiles used to be popular.

This.  It's almost never 'right away' and that should be completely understandable.  The problem is, in general (e.g., please don't pile on gentlemen, I'm generalizing), folks looking through the connection sites are getting riled up to want 'right away' so any perceived delay is frustrating.
I know a planned and relaxed encounter is almost always better than a frenzied 'right away' but I still sometimes want what I want right then.  Count it part of the instant gratification culture, only enhanced in our psyche by technology.  Anyone else here remember having to wait for a spell check program to run?
As to keeping to a strict routine, I'm a believer - for those who desire that precise schedule discipline, I support it.
As to not providing an excuse (per Poolboy) I generally agree, although again I've felt the pressure of needing to give an excuse, particularly if I know the person I'm flaking on well.  Also, there could be a bit of 'hey I'm at the gym to make myself pleasurable/presentable to you' in the response.
As always though, I applaud Mr. Suraci and Mr. Nicholas on their thoughtful positions.

Never forget that just because you cannot afford it or are unwilling to pay it doesn't mean someone else won't.
There is indeed a hammer for every nail.
The public pearl-clutching over rates, by some, is amusing.  

I work in my gym time around clients as much as possible. As long as clients are booking ahead it’s no problem. I don’t really care what time of day I go, as long as I go.
Sometimes a client contacts me for something last minute when I am already at the gym and I have to tell them I can meet in an hour, counting finishing my routine, showering, and getting back. They get ruffled that I’m not on call 24/7 and that I can’t teleport. Sorry guys, if you didn’t plan ahead and you only have the same hour that you’re contacting me to meet…that’s on you.

Re: the ads, what happened to all the humor, creativity, and innovation we used to see in Super Bowl ads?  I can't believe companies forked over $7 million(!) a pop to show that boring, forgettable dreck.
Until the Chiefs' final drive, in which Mahomes showed how a master gets it done, I thought the quality of play was fairly mediocre, like both teams were simultaneously choking.  But that nail-biter overtime redeemed the previous 4 quarters.  There was a beautiful sense of inevitability in that final drive:  the Chiefs feeling a sense of destiny whereas the 49ers a sense of doom.
I understand the need for the padding, helmets, and all, but the NFL really needs to figure put how to showcase this kind of *ahem* talent ...

Well since I’m still in a football state of mind - Nick Bosa! 

Gents, I have met this provider before; I'm sorry I did not realize it from the photos. 
From both an attitude and personality perspective, and a body perspective, I can highly recommend him.  All other things you might be interested in I can't comment on, as my activities with providers are highly limited (and in the interest of privacy I won't comment here without the provider's express consent, which I don't currently have).  
I've re-established contact with him, but have not yet asked him why he made the profile change.  Note for those of you who contacted him before (e.g. when he was CaExFratDude), he now has a different telephone number.
He is very discrete.

I try, as a general rule, not to disparage or speak negatively of anyone. I’ll make an exception here. Run far far away. Sometimes the gift wrap is better than the present. 

Now that we know JockCAsurfer is the RM formerly known as CaExFratDude, can anyone who had actual experience with him (under either name), share their thoughts on that experience so we can be better informed as to what to expect with him?

Thanks Mike - I had done a search . . . 

It's the massive desire for individuality in today's global society.
BEING yourself isn't enough for young people. They need to tag themselves with a declaration of how they like to see themselves and can't just be happy with what mother nature gave them.

Well, I remember reading an article in grad school and doing a forehead palm-slap with the realization I was way beyond the technical definition of an alcoholic for two of those three years (I'd be walking to the chapter room to study and the pledges would call down to me "Hey XXXX, Wild Turkey Shots!" and the studying would go right out the window.  My senior year I had to get serious and got to live in the 'nice' apartment building near campus; I was ready for the break from 40 roommates to 4.

I was; lived in the house for 3 years.  Glad I did it; still some close friends (although generally still regularly closer to friends from high school).  My father's best lifelong friends were his fraternity brothers, which is what lead me to join.
We were not the jock house, but we were the 'cocaine connection' for our Greek system for sure.  We were a 'mixed' house, e.g., 50% wasp, 50% Jewish.  Most of the guys were normal-looking and subdued, but lots of under-the-radar wealthy guys.  Went to some amazing parties at their parents' estates.
Our hazing was funny, rather than harsh, although there was a lot of calisthenics (and drinking of VERY cheap beer; I still can't stomach Meister Brau or Mickey's Big Mouth).
There was a semi-closeted, very small gay contingent; they were more 'tolerated' rather than celebrated, but as I neglected to say above, it was the mid to late 80's.  The only thing close to guy/guy action I witness personally was a three-way with a very attractive woman, and I did not participate and was present for less than a minute (although invited to join in LOL).  One of our brothers was the first person from our school to die in the AIDS epidemic - or at least that was acknowledged he died of AIDS complications.  I never connected with anyone in the house in a physically intimate manner.
One brother of mine is now living with me off-and-on.  His wife keeps kicking him out of the house.  I was in their wedding and know her, and it's 80% on her IMHO.  He's straight and we are not physically intimate (for those inclined to speculate LOL).
