Much prefer hearing “no thanks” than someone just falling off and not replying like you mention, just my 0.02 - text convo gets trashed and a loose end is tied up in my mind
 
Also, definitely don’t mind hearing why someone chooses not to hire me - it is often the budget in some smaller markets, and I would rather have more information than less to help keep me current on trends in the biz
 

Bad long term business practice and dick move.
 
Keep commitments and if something real comes up, at least apologize and offer a deal for you in the future

Hey Ya’ll!
 
Once I return to the US, I am planning to tour extensively in some smaller/medium-sized markets. I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of traveling with another provider, to cut down on various costs / share driving / have a person for duos available / film content / cam/ workout partner / and because frankly it can get a bit isolating / boring being in some smaller places waiting between appts.
 
I am trying to avoid flying as much as possible and will be doing bus / train / car to get from place to place. I’m a tree hugger, what can I say? ??‍♂️
 
I will start mid/end of October and hope to be doing this for a good while and can be pretty flexible without a 9-5
 
LFG!! ?

Ideally, I would work with someone who was not also a skinny white top male. Your concern was on my mind, for sure.
 
I do consider I might lose out on a client or two, but I think the net would be positive for me spiritually and taking into consideration the cost savings I mentioned.
 
If I were finding that your concern was spot on, I could always end the experiment and fly solo.

No, no, no, no... I’m far from a saint but I’m not so short sighted to think that this would be a good idea on the companion’s part
 
For anyone who is in this for the long term, and who cares about his reputation and repeat business, you keep the commitment and maybe try to move the other potential appointment to another time/date. Even if you offered the +100 guy to meet later at the normal rate, by taking both clients you’re ending up way ahead and possibly adding multiple people to your regular roster of clients, too.
 
Flaking is just bad for business and will not justify the extra money right now...
 
I agree with @MrMattBig that the +100 guy was probably not real and this lad was just being petty/spiteful, though, based on experience.

I plan to make a stop there in the next 2-3 months, but unfortunately I am not a muscle guy and doubt I could help with your bicep addiction
 

Sorry, JJ...may be a little old fashioned in today's world, but I still believe a commitment is a commitment and honor stands for something. The guy was a jerk.

We can't list our rates anymore and sometimes you see an older review or rate of an escort so the best possible first inquiry includes asking about rates. You handled this well and I believe the escort was very rude for canceling on you at all - especially rude for telling you its because someone offered him more money. This isn't a "best offer" business for me. If someone booked me for a 1 hour appointment then someone wants to book an overnight during that same time period, I will go with the hour appointment unless I feel comfortable asking the 1 hour client if they could reschedule.

Yes, standard, and much appreciated because those trips to and from airport add up

Don’t you have “an assistant” that handles your arrangements? Why not let this person deal with all the hassles of communicating? Or “they” are only for collecting fees?

Hey guys!
 
A number of you touched with your concern about my well-being while over here, and told me to check in when it was feasible. Couldn’t do that directly to you guys, as per the advice of ‘friends from DC’ that are on this forum and work for Uncle Sugar, it was a better idea to bring sterile electronic devices over here. No banking information, no ‘work’ information, and no client contacts stored anywhere. It’s hard to gauge whether that was necessary or not, but it’s always best to err on the side of caution.
 
Ok, a couple quick takeaways, let you all get on with your week. One, I honestly think the shroud of ‘secrecy’ / fear of the Russians getting into your shit is completely dependent on who you are, what your purpose is in Russia. If you’re there for one or two days in St Petersburg on a cruise- you don’t even need a VISA but you’ll be accompanied at practically all times by handlers from the ship. If you have a tourist visa on your own, 15-30 days, I can’t comment on how hard they’ll bird dog you. I received a 3 yr visa with a personal guarantee from local Russians I met, while in Bali. Essentially, if I Fuck up here...they are criminally and financially responsible for me..so I didn’t even get a second glance going through their customs / passport control. There’s literally a field on your passport of THE NAME of who or what entity signed for you, as well as the nature of your visa /how often you have to leave in that 3 yr period(I can only stay up to 180 days continuous, which is 173 days more than I need LOL, ready for Greece or Italy.)
 
So, as it turns out, my host flies drones(non military; though all Russians did/do serve at some point) and did freelance work for the city of Moscow as well as a three letter directorate of the Russian Federation, so apparently his word was gold. Also, because I didn’t know he did that work until I met one of his bosses from work at a hockey game, I’m DOUBLE GLAD I followed the advice to bring sterile stuff, because enough of my stuff was unsecured a large portion of the time. With that being said, Russians are ENAMORED to have American friends and want to show you off to EVERYONE. Almost like a status symbol. They were VERY giving- where it doesn’t matter if they live two families to a house that should be single family; they literally want to buy you meals, etc.
 
For a frame of reference, money wise, by the way, here’s the sad part. Russian friend has a friend who is a police officer in Moscow, makes about 800-1000 dollars per month, essentially. Taxes are low here, only 8-13 percent but salaries are very low. Now, the cost for certain given items is many times higher- an iPhone that would cost 699.00 in the States costs 1599 here. I asked my friend how much his apartment would cost / be worth to buy, and he said 125,000 US. For something that would be 30 or 40k at best in most smaller cities in the US. (Even though Moscow is a bigger city 12M people, bigger than NYC population wise unless you include all the suburban boroughs), we are so far from downtown Moscow that I would consider myself in like a Newark or a Stamford CT, kinda. The real estate values are so over inflated it’s not even funny, but the cost of food and drink is comparatively low.
 
The Metro is SUPER FAST, efficient, and CLEAN. Comparable to DC’s in my opinion and set up similar to London’s with outside veins coming in, and two circle rings running wide and then wider around the city’s heart. However, here’s the funny part. Rather than taking metro to a train to get to this air show yesterday(44 Miles away from the apartment; clear across Moscow), which would take 1 hr 30 mins to 2 hrs, instead if you OWN a car it’s a status symbol thing....you drive it, and moscow traffic is HORRENDOUS. Worse than NYC or LA...4 hrs 31 mins to this event. A trial in patience.
 
There are clearly gay bars in Moscow, we’ve walked past them(I’m here with a ‘straight’ couple though I have my wonders about their curiosities, you’d think I’d have a radar for this by now..), and there’s no persecution. I just think the government here frowns on celebrities musicians etc ENCOURAGING IT....because they still have a stalwart rough conservative church system here...and with freedom to choose sexual orientation goes a lot more free thinking PERIOD. Leaving the air show yesterday, there wasn’t any fights....yet the RIOT POLICE with shields and batons came out and stopped the crowd for 10 minutes before heading to their cars. Just so certain people could leave first- oligarchs VIPS etc. It’s one thing to have barriers but another to be looking across a clear plastic shield at a 19 year old army cadet with a club in his hand. And where there VIPs were leaving from this crowd wouldn’t even affect...so it’s kind like they kept us there because they could / to remind you / show of force. Here, you follow the rules. You attack police here, you’re pretty much done.
 
Anyhow....I should probably wrap this one up and get back to it...and maybe actually respond to some of the work emails in the box for other areas....for the other escorts out there; no real volume or pings on Mykonos, I’d skip that / not plan on it for work...and Rome had a decent amount but the hotel / housing situation can be tricky. I’m lucky to have an AIRBNB situation vetted by a client of mine that told me how I could get away with it tactfully...will respond more later.
 
Be well, all!

I wouldn’t bet on it.
 
Consensus for CBD with robust data is spasticity in some neurological conditions like MS and various types of intractable epilepsy.
 
Can’t recommend plant-based diet enough, for ED too. I know I’m a broken record, but with ED being a vascular thing a lot of the time, this intervention is perfect.
 
Eat plants, stay hard. (Or inject yourself with tri-mix ???‍♂️... and they say my lifestyle choice is the extreme one...)

Hypothetically, gorilla glue #4 or Girl Scout cookies (or anything in that lineage)

His mom called to check on his wearabouts during our session and he put her on speaker so I could “confirm we were at wendy’s“.
 
Hand to God, she and I just had a lovely lunch on Friday together.
