Those are two of my absolute favorite holiday treats. Although it is difficult to find a good version of either one...so I think most people dislike them because they've never had a good one . I see "mincemeat" pies sold in supermarkets that doesn't even have any meat in them ! Everyone in my family looks forward to these treats at Christmas. But I am aware that these are an old fashioned custom that mainstream America has forgotten.

I have no idea where you're getting that statistic.

The dollar is worth about 20% less than it was in 2019. So $ 275 in 2019 now $ 330. Any smart provider will hedge a little and bump that up to $ 350. since inflation doesn't seem to be showing any signs of ending soon.

Yup. Caught myself and redirected.

I can't discuss my feelings about that until the politics forum is back up for the season.

I am not saying I am "more knowledgeable" than anyone. I am saying my sample group is so drastically different than this statistic that it can't be coincidental. I'm going to circle back around since its the holidays and do my own little research project. As I pay holiday greetings to my tribe, I want to see how many people I know who have been tested multiple times and are still Covid negative. Call me skeptical.

Some people who lack reading comprehension, will try and hijack the conversation to a subject that they CAN talk about instead. Sadly, with the poor state of education in this country, you are starting to see this anti-intellectual behavior more and more.

That's not how immunity works. If you come into contact with a virus, your body makes T cells that carry markers indicating their introduction to every virus they've encountered.

Just counting my New York Friends ..we got together Thanksgiving weekend and asked that everyone be tested as we had a few elderly guests. Among the 50 guests only one of them was testing for antibodies. Everyone else tested negative. My family in Pennsylvania test frequently because my father has emphysema and would definitely die from Covid. None of them has tested positive. My wife needs to test frequently at work and only a few of her teammates have test positive. My kids test frequently as they participate in extracurricular activities . None of their friends have tested positive. Am I living in some alternative universe or are these statistics being exaggerated with a lot of guess work ?

Yes. But keeping in mind the Covid deaths of 2022 are primarily elderly people who would also likely die from a case of influenza. Cancer and Heart Disease are four times as likely to take you out. Young / healthy people aren't dying from the current variants.

I guess because I'm married and have an intimate life at home ...I have absolutely no interest in kissing someone else. I also rarely hire escorts more inclined toward erotic masseur services so its definitely not something I personally care about. That said ...turning it around the other way it could be a level of intimacy that goes beyond "sexwork" for some providers.

I am so lost. How is it possible this is "factual" and accurate but my sampling of several hundred people is overwhelmingly Covid negative ? This is a very bizarre coincidence if this statistic is true. I wonder what is unique about all these people and/or their habits. Maybe all my friends wash their hands more than the rest of you 😜

There is very much an IMPORTANT distinction between disapproval and "hate". Hardly a trivial matter.

Reading comprehension is important in a conversational thread. No one mentioned anything about "hate". QUOTE: "In the late 2010s survey results showed a declining trend in young adult approval of gays." The conversation here is about "approval". I disagree with your opinion about the poly community being incapable of prejudice. The poly community is quite sure they've found nirvana and are in fact quite prejudiced against people who subscribe to the traditional categories including homosexuals.

Same here. My family is mixed but the primary social structure was based on English standards of etiquette. A lot of that kind of sweeping someone's feelings under the carpet is met with great offense by people of color who have had their voice suppressed for more than a century. I have run into this more than once, and occasionally with friends who I've known for years.

I don't find that surprising at all. That is why I am always supportive of the rights of providers to be selective about clients. (A subject that many customers find offensive, since they choose to hire as a place to avoid being rejected.)

No one ? Quote: "average twinkie looks, average dick, inflated ego"

I live in densely-populated NYC and the majority of people I know did NOT catch Covid. No one in my household got it. None of my friends and family in Pennsylvania got it. I can't be the only person who just coincidentally doesn't know many people who got it. I'd say I know about two dozen ( mostly business associates who have reported testing positive ) . I have hundreds of friends and family who didn't. I know that's just a sampling...but I can't believe my samples of people who live all over the country just happened to be all the negative cases 🤔

Although he doesn't have model looks...I would disagree that he's JUST "average". He's a pleasant looking fellow and I don't think everyone charges by the inch. 🍆 His only fault is confusing his expectations of how a rich sugar daddy works with high escort rates.

In high-end design the rule of thumb is: If there's an en-suite bath, your waste bin is in the bathroom / not the bedroom. Most luxury homes these days have one bathroom per bedroom so, no wastebin is required inside the bedroom.

I'm a huge Save Chappelle fan BECAUSE he makes fun of things we "aren't supposed to" talk about. By saying he's being inappropriate..you're missing the point of breaking the barrier around a taboo subject. Nothing is ever resolved by NOT talking about it.

Cultural difference Jamie21. I've seen this before. Some cultures feel adding a bit of humor to soften the mood is polite and other cultural backgrounds...find it condescending. I think you both need to understand this is a multi-cultural forum and sometimes intentions are misconstrued...no bad intentions.

I am responding to your conversation above which is precisely about looks. No "alternative" I'm following the conversational thread.

Because this is what people do when they're shopping. "Oh wow look at this one " ..or "No..no..who would buy this ?" Escorts present themselves as a product so discussions are treated as any other shopping excursion.

Another answer to a high price quote is: "and how many hours is that ?"
