Got it. Well, sleeping with Strangers can be fun too, and the two beds advice still holds. But, duh, stupid me :-)

Beautiful music.

I've never been intimate with a woman, but many married, and formerly-married, men have told me that being held by (or holding) a man all-night is entirely different. Give. It. Some. Thought. If you get two beds then you can always shift back and forth. No need to respond, just trying to help :-)

20 + years ago, there was a client "blacklist". Long gone. Can't remember which escort maintained it, but he was well known.

I fucked Josh Weston once, that was fun.

I still think a small patch of hair that you have to zoom in to find is picky and limiting, but obviously I'm not going to convince you, nor you me, so we will leave it at that. Years ago, one escort I knew moved and retired. Another guy, new to escorting and with a similar look and build and dick, got permission to use his website and phone number and just become him. And, so, when people ordered Escort 1, they got Escort 2, which of course was especially jarring if they'd met previously with Escort 1!. Now THAT is really and truly not being the one who shows up :-)

Wait, personal attacks aren't allowed? Where's the fun in that? :-)

I get it. I just get bitchy rather than supportive when I fear guys are limiting their options too much :-)

They're not. You're being entitled. You're PAYING, and also you're being entitled. Look I'm not being an asshole because I shave, or did shave, I don't and I didn't. But fucking hell, there's a large gap between having preferences, which everyone but me has, and hunting for an escort's pictures on social media and then zooming, zooming, in to see what is an almost imperceptible "flaw" and then saying, publicly, "well he's a no-go." (I realize this wasn't you Kensington). Yes you're paying. AND you're being fussy.

Oh fuck me, seriously. This? This is what's important? A beautiful young man with a great ass....if it weren't for that splotch hair on his chest. Oh well, not meant to be, Swiping left.

Somewhere tropical? :-) https://www.gawker.com/5701857/barry-dillers-sexy-all-boy-thanksgiving

Not delusional, actually. If an escort ad features photos of said escort in expensive locales, he's there likely with clients paying his rate and expenses (and he doesn't look like he flies coach). He and I have very different clients :-) as evident in my photos since I started in 1999, which are always against some apartment wall of an affordable Hollywood photographer.

I miss her terribly.

Blasphemy!

to me it sounds as if 1. you have money, which is great. 2. a friend hasn't taken advantage of your willingness to work for friends for free, which is also great. many professionals are not in a financial position to offer services or goods to friends for free, or even a discount. also, many professionals are more guarded than you explain yourself to be. that's not a fault.

Are you saying they cannot be your friend because they charge you for professional services, which Mike Carey showed, with examples of Lawyers and Plumbers, is complete hogwash (Way to go Mike!), or are you saying that due to the nature of the professional work Es provide, you find their expressions of friendship suspect?

I agree, haggling sucks. Pick a price and stick to it.

They're asking it, that doesn't mean they're getting it. :-) To be clear, I think not answering reasonable emails or texts, for any reason, much less he "can't be bothered" is ridiculous. I'm sorry to go off on the tangent, I'm just kind of fascinated by the prices professional female escorts ($500+/hour) reportedly command versus us (average $200-MAYBE $300/$350, but still I'm skeptical of that higher number being average). I guess fascinated really means, envious :-)

Finished it. Enjoyed it. Well-written, Trashy fun.

Why is it okay for a provider to ask me if I want to meet tonight because he’s trying to pin down timing with another guy if I can’t do the same with a provider from my perspective? What if I want to see two guys tonight? One right after the other…I may need to coordinate that scheduling. A provider shouldn’t feel that’s inappropriate. That’s my prerogative. It sounds like I'm alone in this, which is fine :-) , but it feels like negotiating in bad faith to stack the deck. If men were willing to pay gay escorts the same rates they pay female professional escorts, they wouldn't have to see two clients in a night. I also understand why FPEs earn more, they take greater risks.

HM, I'm curious why you mostly bottom if you feel no pleasure down there?

I don't know if it's underrated, but it's definitely under-appreciated and not well-known. https://www.adamsonhouse.org/

Dude that really really really sucks. I'm very sorry. Any chance you can find a rent-stabilized apartment so that never ever ever happens again? Again, that's terrible. Wow.

I don't know man, when I did exactly this for a Sigur Ros concert, messaged multiple people that I was interested in their tickets, and then bought one pair before the others got back to me, I felt like shit, and still do years later, when one of the other people I messaged was hurt that my enquiry wasn't serious, not from his perspective, and so he was shit out of luck. It would be nice if people were more personable, but I guess if to each individual ticketholder, or escort, you are 100% clear that you're only interested in the fastest-positive response, if that's what's important to you, there's not much else you can do. Still not sure that's the most "polite and respectful", but it's at the very least honest.

xyZ, let me flesh out Slater's argument after an analogy. Imagine, on Craigslist, I see four separate, desirable, pairs of tickets to Sparks at Disney Hall. I may justify messaging all 4 people simultaneously, with some questions, because there are flakes on Craigslist so I'm hedging my bet, one of the ticket sets may be bargained cheaper than the other three, and I'd like to finish this transaction as quickly as possible. I'm expanding Kevin's argument to state that messaging all four individuals simultaneously is selfish, and we expect/hope you will see why it is. In case you don't, here's why. If I purchase one ticket set, of the 4 available, I very well may hear back from some of the other individuals. What do I say to that individual, "sorry, you were too slow, other people were able to accommodate my laundry list of wants before you did." That person had a reasonable expectation that when I inquired about his tickets I was interested in his tickets, not other people's tickets too. This really is the difference between how we should interact with individuals in business vs. companies that prioritize, or at least feign to prioritize, our convenience and wants and take the hits when they come. Respectful business between individuals is a business of mutual consideration.
