Actually, the articles, stories, and parables in these publications are quite easy to read. The key, I think, is the quality of the writing and editing. There’s also the use of these literary devices called “getting to the point” and “having one.” Can’t speak for others, but for me they make or break a piece.

True. My suggestion is that besides those provided (and are substantial) there is not one that provides for the "lust" feeling that one often feels in the Gallery section. For selfish purposes it also does not provide that "I would love to rim that ass" that a good Moondance or WilliamM (among others) ass dance yanks out of me. E.g.,

Thanks guys - appreciate the warm welcome. Indy is great this time of year. Cum one, cum all ;-)

To be honest, it seems to me that you spend much more time trying to "defend" the site out here than answer questions that are posed to you about it. If you don't want to talk about the site, you have to actually do that, lol. If you want to step in to try to defend the site anytime anyone makes comments about it, well, you can't really also tell us not to ask you questions lol. Just a friendly suggestion, thanks.

I have never wanted to be in Indianapolis more than I do right now...

According to ICANN WHOIS, the registration directory maintained by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a registration update was made on 12/11/2018. They are supposed to be seamless, but registration updates are a bear and they often wreck havoc on a website. Last year, Google did maintenance on their domain registry and my domain was messed up for days. Couldn't receive or send email. Fortunately, your friend was able to recover relatively quickly. Since he doesn't charge for his services, he didn't experience lost revenue. Still, I'd ask for a refund of a day's worth of hosting fees just to teach them a lesson.

Oh for crying out loud. The website went down. It came back up with a new pop-up element that wasn't there before. The simple explanation is that it was down briefly as part of the change to its content. That's normal. Nothing to be ashamed of! Making site upgrades is good!
 
Instead, the site's rep gives us a vague, unprovable and untestable accusation of financed DDoS attacks purchased by the site's competitors. There is no explanation of what leads them to believe that. THIS is the reason people worry about the integrity and trustworthiness of friendboy.pro.

If you're established, it's easier to implement these kinds of deposits without too much push back. If you have a reliable history and solid reviews, I'd say try it out and see if it works for you.
 
If you're just starting out or still working on building up a regular/repeat clientele, think more carefully about how many roadblocks you're willing to put up in an attempt to avoid flakes.

The negative emojis work fine on FB. On anonymous forums, they tend to be most useful to trolls.

@stevenkesslar
Besides being hyper verbose you seem like a drama queen over reacting after a few emojis.
It is so simple.
I love writing thoughtful responses to all deserving messages. Fortunately in this forums there are too many messages that deserve a response, it is physically impossible to me to respond to all of them.
The emojis are a very small but simple and expressive remedy. If you do not like them, do not use them.
They are indeed better than the silence I would be forced to give to so many great contributions.
And the next time I just give you a "Verbose man with beautiful blue eyes" icon.

No idea; but I think the default assumption should be no

Would placing servers overseas sufficiently mitigate the legal risk?
 

 
This is a good idea, but from what I've seen, a lot of MtM clients will walk. (Clients of female escorts have historically been more willing to give up this info.) And now, after the Ashley Madison hack, no one trusts that their info is safe.

I believe that the "applause" reaction is close enough. There are slight differences in meaning between an applause and a thank you, but if we're concerned about nuances we may as well respond with actual words.

Generally speaking, I think that many of these reactions are replies without actually replying. Anger, dislike, insulting, ad hominem, and possibly meh are all responses where I believe a member should state his or her thought process rather than just lazily clicking for a response as if comments require a rating.

What about a "thank you" icon? Sometimes a contribution is so helpful that "thank you" is the best reaction.

I agree with dropping the "dislike" icon. Unlike the others, that one isn't constructive, it's just a value judgment. Will lead to bad feelings and I'm not sure what it really adds beyond that.

When I hover over the images, I see their names/descriptions ... and changing directions makes perfect sense for ad hominem cuz someone just went after the person not the thought.

I agree. However, if someone has flaked on me the once and is also unwilling to pay a deposit to schedule again, that's when I'd block him.

welcome to the forum, Alex......this client flake thing is going to happen.....very frustrating, I'm sure, but it happens to nearly all providers.......

Yup, that's a very good point. I should have done the other research first, rather than immediately posting. With no responses it would have been least confusing for me just to delete the post as no longer relevant. But you have a good insight. THANKS.
Interestingly, now that I have made this reply, a "Delete" link does apper below my reply. Apparently replies can be deleted but not the originator's original initial post?

Oh, good, this flamewar-tempting topic again. I missed it. Glad to see all the old faces are ready to go again
 
The "different site" argument is kind of hilarious. Call it what you will, this site is indisputably a direct iteration of the original site, just a generation or two down the line. May have a different CMS, may have different admins (though I see nothing that indicates this to be the case), may have improved ethical practices (I truly and sincerely hope for the best in this regard). Seriously though, I do hope for the best here.
 
Although the inclusion of "scores" is awesome, it also makes me worry -- I mean, it's pretty transparent what those are. While I can't imagine that leaving those off guarantees safety these days, putting them on when other sites don't does kind of seem like tempting fate...

They copy ads from Rentmen and post them on their site. That's all I know about that website.
