It’s like looking in the mirror through a crystal ball.

Do mean *connect* as in, get along and want to learn more or *connect* as in, leave together and immediately have sex for fun and/or profit? 😘

I want unfiltered tea from the “assistants”. Each a gatekeeper of the real filth. 🤣 It would be best as an Oprah Special. Immediately following 24/7 coverage of a mega-yacht disaster that buried the entire family at sea.

Among the things that make the transactions here unique as a business model, is establishing contact. I think we all need to give our text recipients breathing space. Most people in both sides of the transaction have really busy lives, and now, more than ever, are also using smart phones for any number of things that used to be done with phone calls or on a computer, especially multi-gig workers. Texts can get buried by family/work/friends/travel/medicalconvos having nothing to do with hiring or providing. If you don’t hear back, you don’t hear back. It’s the same as “no thanks.” I don’t think it’s out of malice. Mostly just busy-ness. Clients hire someone else, and providers book another client. Aren’t there worse ways to have your time wasted? Yes, as a matter of fact, I did just receive a jury summons, why do you ask? 😂

Los Angeles area recommendations for noobs?

A former thread on this topic has expired. I’ve been curious about escape rooms, and have only seen them portrayed in scripted shows with fictional characters. I know no one personally who’s been to one, which is kinda weird given how long they’ve been around. Have you done one, and would you repeat? Have you been to more than one and have comparisons? I know people recommend gathering some friends for your team. Thoughts? Is there an ideal number? Should I avoid inviting dimwits, or does that add to the fun? Would you say it takes about as long as watching a movie? You’re an entertaining bunch - looking forward to hearing what you know! 😘🔍

Harry Houdini. Posters all over town! 😝

Good for you!, but Yeah…no…that expectation is about 30yrs back in my rear-view mirror! I’m not looking for a discount. I’m into presence, sense of humor and eye contact, which Is evident once we begin, but photos can’t substitute. And the gamble of initial chemistry is really part of the fun. I have never had a meet up without a voice phone call. No talk, no dice. Trade a face pic for 15 min of conversation?

A couple times I met well known provider, and we connected well on a personal level during our meetups. He is also a therapist. I’m thinking of checking into that part of his work. He already knows I hire. I would easily find a new provider if his therapy skills line up with his intellect and other warm interpersonal qualities.

I got good genes. Seeing older Aunts and Uncles looking great as is, I doubt It’s something I’ll feel compelled to do. I’m one of the Function-over-Form people. Also applies to elective surgery.

What was the first thing that ever made you feel “old”? Seeing that question elsewhere and realizing I had an answer for it, rather than just finding it insulting.

If it’s essential to know what I look like before he lets me in, I send a not-great face shot once the appointment is set. “You look better in person” should be the response when you arrive.

A man with short haircut and a completely shaved face - no stubble, just smooth, is a rare commodity today. Early work life got me into daily shave, and for years I loved being able to use the whole face while - going places.

Great news! We can be safe(r) Observable symptoms may include public ass scratching and frequent proximity to organs grinding.

I find it so brilliant at weaving together different stories thought to be for children, but each holds uncomfortable truths for disappointed grown-ups. And ends with hope! Seems like the cast and City Center production make it work brilliantly. I remember the intense interest and gayticipation when it premiered in the 80’s and I was still into Sunday in the Park. I’ve grown fonder of Into the Woods with each hearing since then. I never fail to take away something new, like with all his work. Good for Encores!

It sure would be easier if clients and providers weren’t humans with lives beyond our encounters. Perhaps one-time regulars are better than never-give-a-second-look regulars, though. I can’t imagine anyone having a first meetup and not coming back for more of you.

Awful. What is wrong with these guys??? Personally, I find always find success in sessions with providers when I have intestinal trouble or am feeling disconnected or irritable or violent. And I never cancel.

Stumbled on this new “spin-off” and liking it so far. Now I need to find one with Amy Aquino…

Hire ones who host.

Went to HS 15th, in Dayton. Won award for having traveled most miles, from LA. The event validated my life choices.

Would someone please describe what attending an Adonis event is like? Who lets you in? Are there demographics to the audience? Do dancers actually dance, or do they just mingle for tips? What’s the interaction like between patrons and dancers? Is there an average length to expect? (I mean Duration, btw) I have The Gaiety and Nob Hill and 20th C bars in Canada as my references for in-person entertainments not in a private space. thx

Try this: attend the well-written play performed live in a theatre, by a great cast of actors. See the play. Spoiler: The clothes come off when it’s part of the story. Full frontal on stage is usually about vulnerability. The scene is set in a shower, where nudity happens all the time. Dicks out is the norm in that room. Eyes up here, pal…😏

Tragic for their families, but absolutely inconsequential to everyone else watching this story, isn’t it?

Eye contact. Especially from a show-off.

RIP Bernie. In the 70’s I saw the two of them as Sky Masterson and Sarah Brown in a summer-stock Guys and Dolls. TV a decidedly better medium for both. All I remember is the Miss Adelaide of Miss Ruta Lee…
