    Well, that's Thailand and this is Florida. However, we could send law enforcement over there research purposes. PURELY research.

    I may be a newbie on the forum but I’ve been around the block for a while. For the most part I’ve had good experiences with most providers. It boils down to this- we are all adults here and if you don’t like your job or don’t think you can perform your job reasonably, then don’t put either of us through an uncomfortable situation and don’t take my money when you haven’t earned it. Just because you want my cash doesn’t make it ok to waste my time in order to get it. If you ask for a lot of money and talk a big game, don’t come over and not do anything and barely even make eye contact when you speak to me. Once I thought a bit more about it, I think he had just gotten off based on the fact that he kept saying His balls were sensitive.
     
    If they can’t provide the service thats their problem. If I walk into my barber and he says he can’t cut my hair even though I booked an appointment with him and was sitting around waiting for 30 minutes, he’s not going to charge me for the haircut I didn’t get.
     
    Thanks for the warm welcome though. I’ve actually read through the site for quite some time now and let me tell you something- if I save one person fron getting treated improperly and taken for a ride, I don’t really care what anyone has to say about it. You weren’t there, the money came out of my pocket last time I checked, and I’m entitled to my point of view which is very simple- no one gets paid to do nothing. Maybe he wasn’t feeling it or maybe he had gotten off right before coming. My guess would be that he had just gotten off. Either way, that’s not my problem. It’s a shame with this guy because he had a huge package but he was the most boring guy I’ve encountered and he is just not a nice person to add to the insult.

    I agree with some of what you write @tradehunter . I feel there are great variations between cultures as to the expression of sexual desires and the definition of sexuality.
     
    As a European, I’ve often noted that in the US there seems to be a rigid distinction between gay and str8. Whereas in Europe there’s a more general acceptance of sexual fluidity, especially among the young.
     
    In Latin America, where I’ve spent a lot of time, there is an emphasis on masculinity but being an open and confident top, I never encountered any negative sentiment. I am aware that effeminate behaviour was often criticised in conservative circles and an avowed bottom would face open insults.
     
    As for the str8 model I mentioned earlier, I dated him maybe a dozen times. Some of the dates were a threesome; I arranged for a shy friend of mine (who’s a skilled rimmer and sexually versatile) to join us. The str8 model was very tentative about kissing at first but after a couple of dates he told me he “liked sucking cock” and “loved the taste of (my) cum”. He obviously enjoyed the threesomes and shared the cocksucking but he insisted I unload only in his mouth. Nonetheless, he always defined as str8 and lived with his girlfriend. It was only when he felt the urge and needed cock that he would call me and fix a date.
     
    Personally I don’t care about how a man labels himself; what matters most to me is what the guy does in bed and how well he performs.

    Great, good for you both.
     
    I generally don't like rejection/offending. If I'm at the spa and a guy walks out when I enter, I avoid going into the room he's in. If I'm at the gym and inadvertently lock eyes with a guy who's not into "my type," I make sure I don't work out near him or enter the locker room while he's there lest he thinks I'm stalking him.
     
    Let's face it. A lot of guys aren't into Asians (Asians included). A lot of Asians don't do other Asians any favors by acting a fool or throwing themselves at white guys. I purposely don't act that way.
     
    I see some providers at the gym or around town. They hang out with guys that look like them and move/shoo away guys that don't. I know they're doing a job, but if a provider isn't into "my type" I don't want him to be miserable nor do I want to feel undesirable or miserable. So I don't hire them. And I always let them know my race ahead of time.
     
    Yes, you can tell from one look if someone is cool with you/being in their presence or not. It happens all the time. I remember one visit to Midtown (a local sex club), one white guy actual stuck his hand in my face (the way you would if someone where pointing a gun at you) and waved NO. Keep in mind I didn't know him, didn't get close to him, I was just walking in his general direction. That reaction really stayed with me and made me feel really worthless. I don't want to feel that way again so if I can avoid it I do.
     
    Oh and jdjd46, don't criticize me for making assumptions when you did the exact same thing.

    @Moe I can tell you from experience your body will ache, but you body will also adjust. Mall walking is a great start. Once you get comfortable with that, look around for something to challenge you. It doesn't have to be an American Ninja Warrior class, but once you are walking, it's time to run
     
    You have a plan, and a good one. Stick with it. Good work can bring promotion and new opportunities. If it doesn't that just means you have to look for it.
     
    You family does seem better than the earlier version you described. Be glad of it, and relish your time with them.
     
    I wish I looked like my profile picture. I want to, but it takes time and effort.
     
    I will say, as my body has improved some, I like sex more. Where I'm not my profile, I feel better in bed when I'm closer to what I want to be in bed with.

    I am going to be focusing on my health first and foremost. I will no longer be sitting in a car for 12-17 hours a day, everyday, ever again. My priority is to lower my blood pressure and lose weight. At the moment I can't afford an emergency room trip, and can barely afford and Urgent Care visit so I will immediately focus on my diet and make sure I walk everyday and see if it has an effect. When I went to have a physical 3 months ago, the doctor told me that my blood pressure was around 150 (I forgot the diastolic level) and that I needed to lower it. Rather than facing a doctor again I went to a pharmacy and used one of their do it yourself blood pressure cuffs. Apparently they may not be accurate and may have read my pressure a little higher than it is. I do remember thinking it was a little tight to fit around my arm. I'll make sure I use my first paycheck to go to and get looked at.
     
    The interview at Walmart went smoothly and I got hired. I know for most, Walmart isn't the best place to work, but I am excited. I am a little worried about the pains my body will go through at first, yet, I know that it will be for the better. They hired me for stocking dairy products, so I will not have to deal with customers much since I'll be in the background rather than out front. I am a bit nervous since this is my first job with a big company like this, hopefully that will go away soon.
     
    I don't plan to get personal with anyone I may work with. I've had enough drama to last me several lifetimes and so like YoungAD has stated, I will get the job done while exuding happiness. Thanks for the good wishes and support.

    Hello!
     
    I am not one to talk about my life to people, but I am just a bit too nervous about my future and need advice. My life hasn't been great for much of my time on this planet. My parents were not fit to parent. My father was never around and my mother was very abusive. Both of my parents are immigrants from the Middle East where stupid cultural practices took place that led to my grandfather forcing my mother to marry my father at the age of 15.
     
    My mother was never happy with her life since that moment and took it out on her children. Beatings happened often for me. Stupid things like laughing in bed at my siblings would result in getting smacked in the face. There have been times when she would start beating me with her hand and end up kicking me because I'd cower on the floor while curled up in a ball. She would usually end those events by spitting on me. I was probably around 5 or 6 when the beatings started.
     
    Why am I sharing this with you? Well, I think due to my upbringing, I am not really the most social person at my current age of 34. I am always scared to interact with people. My mother has always threatened me to keep my mouth shut about happenings at home. To never talk too much to anyone and that I would be beaten if I let anything that happened at home slip to anyone. I've been beaten for telling a classmate that her older brother and his wife came over for a visit once. So now, when I am out with the public, I tend to keep away from people. I am nervous to ask for help at stores. I am scared to ask for directions if lost and I am terrified of police just because my mom would scare us by threatening us with jail. I need this to change. I don't want to live like this anymore.
     
    I live in a conservative city that has managed to stay relatively segregated. I wasn't able to find a job when I first moved here in 2003. My first and last names are very common Middle Eastern names that would elicit people to avoid me and I assume that is why none would hire me. Having finished high school overseas that no one has ever heard about may have also contributed. I applied at fast food places, every place that was hiring at every mall, janitorial jobs, not one would contact me. I ended up working for other Middle Easterners where they would under pay me under the table. They knew that most companies wouldn't hire someone with my name so I was making $200 for about 60 hours a week.
     
    That went on for about three years. In that time, by some miracle, I was accepted into University that had living accomodations. I was ecstatic because I was about to be on the streets due to my roommate getting married. So I went to school with no plan and took some general courses. Then shit hit the fan. Before moving to this city, I had lived overseas with my family for a while. My grandmother passed away so my father sent us to take care of his father. His father got sick a year later and came to the states for treatment. When he went back, my father was with him. He died shortly after. My father then wasted 2 years in that country not working and spending all of his savings. When he finally went back to the states, he ceased all communications with us and stopped supporting us financially. I bring this up because fast forward to college, my mother kept putting pressure on me to bring her and my siblings here. It nearly broke me. I was stressed out all of the time, I couldn't study, I was angry at work (the poor pay didn't help), and I was coming to terms with me being gay.
     
    I always knew I was gay, ever since I was about 7. I found my moms porn magazines and was instantly attracted to the men. But growing up at the time that I did (like so many others) and with my parents cultural background, I had to keep quiet about it and just told myself that it was just a phase. I remember one time that I wore my moms makeup and my dad was about to beat me senseless for it. It was a rare moment that my mother showed mercy and stopped him. So, ever since then, I don't discuss it.
     
    Anyhow, my mom manages to make it here without me funding the trip. We get an apartment together and I pay the bills while everyone else gets to live their lives. I even took out extra school loans so I can help support my mom and siblings. Worst mistake I have ever done. I had to drop out of school because I never had time to study while working as many hours as I did and because I couldn't afford to make the tuition payments. Luckily for me, I put most of the loans in my mother's name. I was also in a car accident and was scared to drive or go out for a long time.
     
    I end up leaving my poor paying job to go to a better paying one due to the fact that they really needed someone honest who can work a cash register. The one good (and bad) thing about working for Middle Easterners is that they all keep in touch with each other and gossip about everyone. I had a good reputation since I never went clubbing, partying, and just stayed home. And my register was never short, I was fast with dealing with customers and always treated people kindly. That good job lasted a year. I ended up going to a worse job because my mother said the opportunity was better and that it was her friend that ran the place. I ended up getting fired due to constantly fighting with the owner and due to my anger issues. I wasn't always an angry person. I was more docile and kind of just accepted my fate in life, but as time passed, I just kept getting angrier and angrier at how I always got the short end of the stick while everyone else around me was treated one hundred times better.
     
    One of my ex-coworkers from a previous job became a cab driver and bumped into me when I was going around looking for a new job. He assured me that the taxi business was good and that he could get me hired. I loved the job. It had its negatives, but I basically didn't have to answer to anyone and the more I worked, the more money I made. Then the economy tanked in 2008/09 and the job became miserable. It was still better than working for Middle Easterners in their grocery stores so I stuck with it for 10 years.
     
    Finally, I quit my job today. I switched from company to company a couple of times, but this last year has been horrible. Cab companies do not care about their drivers. They only care about the money drivers make them.The way the system works is that the company would charge a rental fee that covers the use of their vehicle, maintenance, insurance and dispatch. Drivers had to cover fuel. It has gotten ridiculous the last few months where I had to spend from my savings to pay the cab rent. Dispatchers are very corrupt. They accept bribes from certain drivers and feed them good trips while they would send drivers like me across town 7-10 miles to run a 5 dollar trip. I don't want to bore you with more details with the taxi industries corruption, especially since I feel like I have been rambling in this thread already, so let just say that it sucks and I had to leave due to high stress levels and chest pains. Turns out my blood pressure is really high at 208/122.
     
    The main reason for this thread is I have an interview at Walmart tomorrow. I am really nervous because I have never had a job at an American company where I had to interact with people. Driving a taxi was easy because most people would just say hi, tell me where they were going and go back to their cell phone. I have also gained a lot of weight in the last 6 months due to stress eating. It sucks because I lost 70 pounds last year doing the Keto Diet and put it all back on and now I am scared that I won't be fast enough with the stocking at Walmart if I do get the job. I also don't want Walmart to be my future. More like a stepping stone. I thought it would do me good to get a job that will make me stand on my feet rather than sit on my ass all day like I did in the cab business.
     
    Are there any fitness sites for beginners that you might recommend a tub o'lard like me to go to? I went for a mile walk today just to gauge my fitness level and nearly died from asphyxiation when I got to the top of a minor hill. How long would it take me to get used to standing and walking around Walmart for 8 hours a day? Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process of the muscles in my legs so I am not in pain every night?
     
    Finally, has anyone ever done a career change in their 30's? I am tired of being poor and I know that not everyone can be rich, but I would like to be able to own my own condo when I am 40 and to be out of debt. What would you guys recommend an introvert like me to pursue? I am willing to consider a trade school or community college, but I don't want to go and get into debt. I want to be able to pay it all off while I am studying. Are there any employers that pay well and train on the job? Also, what cities are more welcome to people with non English names? I'd love to leave this city.

    Please see a doctor about your HBP. You'll probably need medication to get it down closer to 120/80. The doctor will tell you about diet & exercise. Listen to his advise. They call HBP "the silent killer" for good reason.

    I mainly started this thread because I thought that some members may have been going through similar things and was hoping to hear some success stories so I could be more encouraged to do better with my future. The one good (and bad) thing about me is I am very stubborn. It becomes a benefit when I am working, though with my last job it was more of a hinderance. I just kept putting more hours in, thinking that I would earn more if I worked more. It wasn't the case with the terrible dispatchers and it just caused me more stress and pain. I was finally able to let go and quit and even though things look difficult ahead, I am much more relaxed.
     
    I actually plan to work for Uber/Lyft on Friday and Saturday nights. I am in the process of purchasing a car and I am told by a few drivers I would be able to make anywhere from $150-$300 a night, depending on how busy and what events are going on. I know someone that did Amazon Flex and thought about joining, but he warned me against it. He switched to Uber full time because they work you like a donkey at Amazon and play favorites with their buddies. I will be fine with Walmart after the initial two weeks of pain and suffering my body will experience from the lack of moving for the last 10 years.
     
    For exercise, I have decided that I will stick to Mall walking for now. It is flat, air conditioned and safe. I won't have to worry about getting hit by a car or eaten by mosquitos. I will start slow and work my way up. I will be skinny once again in my life and I don't care how long it will take.
     
    I have never been to a nudist place and will probably never will. I am not good around lots of people, and being around lots of naked people, even if they all looked like a naked Hugh Jackman, would make me shy and nervous. Thanks for the meetup.com suggestion. I will bookmark that site. I probably won't join any groups at first, I want to focus on my health and build up endurance in order to be able to go cycling or rollerblading or whatever else I may fancy at the time. Though the male nude massage exchange sounds interesting, I will stick to my one or two yearly sensual massages for now. It took me a while to find a masseur that had no problem touching my hairy and rotund body.

    @Moe all the best to you. Maybe a job at Wal-Mart is not the best in the world, but it can be a step up for you. Make the most of it. You sound like a diligent worker, and that should go far. Once you get settled there, keep a bit of an eye out for other opportunities if you want. Have a steady job with a recognized employer like Wal-Mart can help that.
     
    As for your family, if you have one and want to help them, do. I would advise you to remember that as being a member of that family you should help support that family, it also means that family has a duty to help support you. If you're paying the rent and need your sleep, they need to support you and be quite. Family support is not a one-way street.
     
    You have the best hopes and wishes of me and a lot of people here. Please take that to heart. A lot of people who have never met you, will never meet you, are behind you.

    Actually, I did. Years ago, I read about how Saudi Arabia was short on ESL teachers and that they were paying up to 60k a year. Since I speak Arabic (though at 1st grade level), I thought it would be a good fit. I wasn't sure that my English skills were good enough. Sure, I speak it well enough, but I don't think my grammar is great. I guess that's what college is for! I will look into classes at my local community colleges, it is something I could see myself definitely do.
     
    I don't think I'd go to Saudi Arabia though, but I'll worry about that later.

It was still better than working for Middle Easterners in their grocery stores so I stuck with it for 10 years.
     
    Finally, I quit my job today. I switched from company to company a couple of times, but this last year has been horrible. Cab companies do not care about their drivers. They only care about the money drivers make them.The way the system works is that the company would charge a rental fee that covers the use of their vehicle, maintenance, insurance and dispatch. Drivers had to cover fuel. It has gotten ridiculous the last few months where I had to spend from my savings to pay the cab rent. Dispatchers are very corrupt. They accept bribes from certain drivers and feed them good trips while they would send drivers like me across town 7-10 miles to run a 5 dollar trip. I don't want to bore you with more details with the taxi industries corruption, especially since I feel like I have been rambling in this thread already, so let just say that it sucks and I had to leave due to high stress levels and chest pains. Turns out my blood pressure is really high at 208/122.
     
    The main reason for this thread is I have an interview at Walmart tomorrow. I am really nervous because I have never had a job at an American company where I had to interact with people. Driving a taxi was easy because most people would just say hi, tell me where they were going and go back to their cell phone. I have also gained a lot of weight in the last 6 months due to stress eating. It sucks because I lost 70 pounds last year doing the Keto Diet and put it all back on and now I am scared that I won't be fast enough with the stocking at Walmart if I do get the job. I also don't want Walmart to be my future. More like a stepping stone. I thought it would do me good to get a job that will make me stand on my feet rather than sit on my ass all day like I did in the cab business.
     
    Are there any fitness sites for beginners that you might recommend a tub o'lard like me to go to? I went for a mile walk today just to gauge my fitness level and nearly died from asphyxiation when I got to the top of a minor hill. How long would it take me to get used to standing and walking around Walmart for 8 hours a day? Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process of the muscles in my legs so I am not in pain every night?
     
    Finally, has anyone ever done a career change in their 30's? I am tired of being poor and I know that not everyone can be rich, but I would like to be able to own my own condo when I am 40 and to be out of debt. What would you guys recommend an introvert like me to pursue? I am willing to consider a trade school or community college, but I don't want to go and get into debt. I want to be able to pay it all off while I am studying. Are there any employers that pay well and train on the job? Also, what cities are more welcome to people with non English names? I'd love to leave this city.
     
    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know this forum is mainly for escorting/massage but I am not really a member of anything online. I tend to just lurk in the shadows. I also like how the community here is so helpful and kind to one another. I don't expect many replies, just typing this has made me feel a little better - like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.

    My first thought was that while your working why don’t you see if your eligible to apply for any civil or state government jobs or take civil service examinations. You may also want to look into medical technician jobs which usually pay very good. My friend became a radiologic technologist and within 5+ years already owns a condo. It is never to late to start over as long as you make sure that where you want to head doesn’t lead you right back where you are. You may want to start creating a life plan for yourself that comprise of not only what type of future you see for yourself but also a list of promises/demands of yourself.

    Congrats on getting hired! OK, Walmart may not be the best place to work, but hopefully they are providing you with health insurance, so if nothing else, use that benefit to get your health back on track, have a steady income and decide what you may like to do after that.
     
    Your posts are very poignant and in some ways inspiring because you have been able to identify your problems. You may not have solutions to them yet, but knowing what you have to deal with is half the battle. One step at a time. Do at least one thing every day to help improve something in your life or do something that you will enjoy, and take time for yourself. If you stay strong and stay positive, you will look back on your early life and realize that you've come a long way.
     
    The hardest thing for you to do is to separate yourself from your family, and not feel guilty about it. You've given your family a lot, they've expected a lot from you. Now it's your time to focus on yourself.
     
    Good luck!!

    like others have said, your writing quality is nearly professional-level and pleasant to read....efficient, to-the-point, organized.......
     
    please keep up with the daily cardio exercise.....45-60 minutes of breathing fairly hard.....as said, start easy (steady brisk walking) and increase.....this will be for the rest of your life!.....in a few months, you should start a weight-training program at a gym.....for life, too!......
     
    the new job will be great.....standing rather than sitting, not-unpleasant conditions, a sense of accomplishment.....smile and have fun (and do what the boss says!)......get some comfortable shoes and some insole padding (if you don't have already)......as much as WalMart has a bad rep for (supposedly??) poor employee treatment, I presume a big company like that has some benefits you can take advantage of (insurance, 401K, education expenses, etc.??)......some of the employees may be not the coolest, but that's not a big worry......don't injure yourself!!
     
    pay down any debt you may have.....set up a savings plan.....cut your daily/monthly expenses......
     
    keep us updated!!
