    He had his ad disactivated for a long time with no pics and I think he put his old pics back up.    Most of them, except the one on the swing were on his ad when he was in Detroit a few years ago

    Based on the photo with the tape measure, he doesn't know how to properly measure, and is adding 1.5" - 2" to quoted length.
    I don't see the actual length a problem—not a size queen, and it's plenty big—but why make an assertion and then have a photo that disproves it?

    Different people have different opinions of escorts and I also like hearing the bad experiences as well.   It's like cars, you wouldn't see me driving anything made by Chrysler, GM or Ford and I love Toyota but a friend of mine will only drive domestic cars and refuses to consider an import.   There's a couple escort I would give a one star rating to that others have praised and one of my favorite people to hire has a one star review.
    The one bad review was from a member that has been here a long time and it is fishy that someone came on to give him a great review and joined the same day he did and last time on the forum was a couple days later like Stop.

    For me, the non-response is cyclical, but it's always more common among younger guys, who are much more likely to lack life experience that helps in running a service business.
     
    Sometimes you get a response, but it's delayed. Someone whose generally gotten a good reception was visiting, so I reached out early because I was only going to be here one day during his visit. No response---then on the day I'd requested, I get messaged in the afternoon saying he was available that day and the next--perhaps he thought plans might change, but by that point I was busy getting ready for my trip. There are other guys who will say yeah. sure but nail down a time, then pop-up when they're available. There have always been a few providers considered by some to be special enough for that kind of scheduling. Not for me, though.

    Let me also say…a lot of Providers, especially the younger guys, seem to forget that they’re in a service profession, that they’re the “servant,” and Clients don’t exist to be their sexual slush funds.
    Mutual respect and healthy understanding of boundaries is paramount!

    I'm engaged is a profession in which I provide a service. Although not the type of service discussed here, I believe the same rules apply: I should be polite and responsive if I want to continue to have business. No potential client has to tie himself in knots with worry about whether I'll be offended if he starts with "Hi" or says something that just might ruffle my delicate feathers. Usually I am willing to answer a few simple questions. It's business, and business rules apply. Competitors will get the business if I don't follow through. Sure, some potential clients might be goofs, but that's what happens in dealing with the public. If I couldn't do all the above, I'd change professions.

    Bumping this to see if anyone has met him.   I reached out to him since he has four good reviews and see he is in Detroit (I noticed this thread started last year, suprirsed this is my first time seeing his ad in the Detroit listings).
    Didn't respond to messenger so sent him a messege on whappz and he quoted $375 for an hour so pass, but noticed his communication skills are bad, never responded on RM and took a while on WA and his English isn't very good in the Message

    Even still. By your reasoning, my number is there and showing up as an issue. I don’t have many providers NOT respond. Yet…some don’t. It doesn’t reasonably hold. What seems more reasonable is that some of the providers I contact who don’t reply are not great at responding. If I rarely got a response, Mr. Number issues would make more sense. But I do largely have responses. The few who don’t respond would therefore seem like they’re not serious about consistently providing.
    Sometimes the issue isn’t the client.

    I would like a little clarity on that please. I am assuming when you talk about opening with "hi" or "hey, " and 99% certain they'll never book, you mean those words alone in a message.  As opposed to "hey [or hi], I saw you in RentMasseur (or wherever ) I’d like...."
    Correct?

    I run into that a lot with providers coming to Detroit   I'll send them a message and get no response.    I will ask their rate and I think that a lot of providers don't like that, but I don't want to waste my time or theirs if the rate is absurd.

    I have found the rate question has ended communication a few times, which makes no sense.  It's a waste of both sides time if the budget doesn't work.

    Another angle to consider is that some providers aren’t looking for this to be something they’re committed to or tied down to. Some guys see it as a fun way to get paid to do something sexual that they could likely do for free just as easily. It’s not about the money for them.
    Escorting and massage aren’t the primary sources of income for all these guys. Some are in porn. OF. Some have “regular” jobs. Some are too immature to be reliable communicators. There is a host of possible reasons why a guy doesn’t reply.
    I’m still not understanding how a provider would know if I’ve reached out to only him or to multiple guys from my opening text(s). That seems like an unfair and possibly false assumption for a provider to make, and if he does care about the work, a sure way to lose real clients.

    I'd definitely leaver a bad review, but problem is provider can have them removed, that's probably how he has so many positive reviews.    
    I refuse to give a deposit, I figure I'm not protected at all, just the provider.   I also hate being asked to pay upfront, but I willl, but usually the provider screws themselves, because I typically forget to tip.
    That's shitty wasting your time.   Sounds like a scammer.

    Resort fees really piss me since I have top status with a couple chains and the items they are including with that absurd fee, are items I get as part of my membership status.
    It's just not Vegas, a lot of NYC hotels have been charging a "mandatory fee" for a few years and the Palmer House in chicago is charging a $25 a night mandatory fee.   At least in NYC and Chicago though you get it back to use as a credit for food and beverages but sucks being forced to use it at the hotel since I like to eat offsite and not at a hotel restaurant

    Keith Fitz-gerald mentioned Boeing again in today's email:

     
    4 – The only way Boeing recovers 
    Hopes are running high that Boeing’s “back” now that is reportedly in talks to purchase Spirit, which makes the fuselages for Boeing jets. Both manufacturers have been struggling with production problems as they try to turn out Boeing’s top selling plane. (Read) 
    Continue to short, avoid or keep on the putskies I suggested a while ago. BA shares are down -21.47% YTD while Airbus and Embraer have returned 9.38% and 17.55% respectively. 
    $180 a share, potentially lower. 
    I could see $150 without much of a stretch if this keeps up, or down as the case may be. 
    MyPOV: The only way forward is a complete reset at the C-level and holding every regulator who signed off on what’s happened to date accountable. Btw, I don’t think I’m off base here; whistleblower Ed Pierson, himself a former senior Boeing manager, believes the entire 737 fleet should be grounded. (Read)

    With a backdoor IRA make sure you don't have any other IRA's before opening or you could really get dinged.   Suze Orman did a suze school podcast a few weeks ago you can find where she talks about it.
    I don't really understand why they have an income limit anyway on a roth IRA seeing there isn't one for a roth 401K.   I'm fortunate enough to have a roth option for my 401K that was added two years ago, but would have loved a higher contribution limit for the IRA for those years I didn't have a roth 401K option.
    If you qualify for a roth IRA, I'd put the max in you can for the match into the 401K since it's basically free month and the next $8K into a roth IRA and then go back to the 401K for additional money.   
    Some companies also have the option for a roth 401K match to be taxed instead of going into a traditional account and you can avoid paying taxes on those earnings as well

    Glad I found this thread (not that I would have hired him anyway at his rates if he had great reviews).   He's in my area now and the pics were good and sounds like he isn't a lot of the things I am.   He quoted me $500 for an hour.
