Well I'm off to Merry Ole England in two hours. I'm doing a two week tour of the great country houses of England. I decided to splurge and am flying Business/First Class. At 81, soon to be 82, I'm too damn old to sit in the cramped economy seats for ten hours. Am traveling with Albion Tour which really does a great job with these type of tours. Will return home on 09/16. Have fun guys and stay well and safe

I grew up in a Los Angeles neighborhood that was predominately Jewish. Thus I grew up sprinkling my conversations with Yiddish words. I still use them to this day. After I had taught a few months a group of my freshmen students approached me and asked if I was Jewish. When I asked why they asked they said that I was constantly using Yiddish words when speaking to the class. I explained my youth and they had a good laugh.  These kids remained close to me during their entire four years of high school. When they graduated they presented me with an autographed copy the the book "The Joys of Yiddish". That book remains one of my most cherished possessions to this day.
With that background in mind I must say that I cringe as the use of the word schmuck in casual conversation. The word is insulting and offensive in both Yiddish and English.

This isn't really a big deal for me. Four (4) or five (5) photographs can easily do it for me. I like a face shot although I understand why some escorts do not post one and the lack of it isn't a deal breaker for me. If an escort does post a face shot I wish to god he would SMILE. The only photograph I do REQUIRE is a nude torso shot - no nude torso shot no deal. A cock shot is desirable but not required. A nice ass shot is good. If an escort post one hundred (100) photographs fine I'll look at them but certainly don't need anywhere near that number. The text an escort posts in his ad is equally important to me as his photographs.

If an escort wants to get my attention, he will have a candid shot of him smiling, nothing fancy, that will usually do it for me. I fail to understand why a lot of guys will post pictures with a very stern/angry looking face. If you are trying to look like an aggressive top, it has the opposite effect on me, makes me think you want to rough me up. I do realize that some guys like that, but I think that might be a minority. 

This isn't really a big deal for me. Four (4) or five (5) photographs can easily do it for me. I like a face shot although I understand why some escorts do not post one and the lack of it isn't a deal breaker for me. If an escort does post a face shot I wish to god he would SMILE. The only photograph I do REQUIRE is a nude torso shot - no nude torso shot no deal. A cock shot is desirable but not required. A nice ass shot is good. If an escort post one hundred (100) photographs fine I'll look at them but certainly don't need anywhere near that number. The text an escort posts in his ad is equally important to me as his photographs.

When I check out a 411 post that one of our members puts up and the escort is TOTALLY NOT my type I've been known to make the following comment. "Totally not my type too many/much "xyz" but isn't that great. Damn I'm glad we are not all looking for the same type of escorts. If we were hiring would become near impossible. Viva la difference".  I see nothing wrong with that comment.

I disagree we are not talking about dating. Even though money comes into it, I always consider my connections to escorts to be dates I am going on. And I am always hopeful they will turn out to be memorable dates on the positive side.
But just like when I was younger and in the "free marketplace", they all turn out differently, great, good, so-so and forgettable.

I don't think this has anything to do with being "woke." Just like honoring someone pronouns, or being a good neighbor, not making negative comments on a provider you've never met, or judging their body harshly, is just being a decent, respectful person. I feel like online anonymity gives people license to behave in ways they never would in person. My general rule is if I wouldn't say this in person, I don't say it online. 

It’s not unreasonable at all for hobbyists to judge providers based on our likes/preferences. It’s the manner in which it’s done that’s issue. 

The OP asked for feedback on this particular provider - totally normal. What I think is unnecessary is when other hobbyists chime in -when they have no experience with the provider, and have no intention to engage them - picking apart the provider’s body, appearance AND talking down to hobbyists about our choices, about how this must be the best we can hope to get, AND THEN proceeds to go on about how sexy, hot they are. It’s just so condescending, so patronizing, and so unnecessary. 

Now if someone asks for feedback on a provider, and a hobbyist replies they’ve engaged them, and the pictures are out of date, the body is not what the pics show, etc. that’s different. 

The former is rude, the latter is informative. 

How many times have I opened a “411” thread, clicked the link, and seen a provider that’s not my type, that I don’t think is attractive? Plenty. But I don’t add a comment to the thread expressing any of that, or any faults I find with his appearance, or any judgement I have for hobbyists who go for that type. I just close the thread, and move on. That’s how this is supposed to work. 

Just my two cents. I will add a third cent - in anonymous forums when people start talking about how worldly they are, how well heeled they are, how desirable, hot, and sexy they are, my experience has been chances are, they’re none of the above.

I don't know how most of these guys do it.
Although I have multiple "types" I know there are many people who I couldn't possibly get excited over. I am a fitness freak and the slightest bit of fat sends me into limp dick territory. So kudos to these guys who can get it up no matter how unattactive people may be .

Good looking is subjective. I have friends falling over for 23 year old twunks and I'm over here like "What's Christopher Meloni in these days?" 

As they say..."to each his own".
For me....I'm not going to pay for someone's company who's LESS good looking than myself .
 

I’m booked!

The bulls we had on the farm when I was growing up had a nose ring - can't get past that image.  And yes, it was used to lead/control them. 

After over twenty years of posting on this site I have come to the conclusion that’s it time and more that The Lounge and The Political Forum be killed off and buried.
 
The Lounge: There was a time when this forum was a catch all for multiple interesting topics. Those days are gone. With the addition of forums like: Men’s Health, Personal Finance and Investing, What’s Cooking and Remembering Daddy what is the point of The Lounge. As far as I’m concerned it has become a repository of mostly meaningless trivia. When all these additional topics were available on The Lounge, we could find multiple topics in ONE forum that interested us.
The Political Forum: In the United States from its very inception, as a nation, politics has been a raucous, riotous, blood sport. If you do not believe that then you simply do not know U.S. history. Simply look back at the shenanigans that took place during the writing of the U.S. Constitution between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Look back at the Presidential Election of 1804 possibly the dirtiest presidential election in U.S. history. Look back at the fist fights and cannings that took place on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in the last two decades prior to the Civil War. Look back at the verbal fisticuffs that took place in Congress after World War I during the debate over joining the League of Nations. It now seems that the moderators would like to turn The Political Forum into a tea party for little old ladies. Just as an example lets say I post something in The Political Forum that prompts another poster to come back calling me “a god damn stupid fucking asshole Republican”. Why should I or, for that matter, any other poster or posters give a tinkers damn. This is an anonymous site, and we DO NOT know each other. Why should I give a damn what someone I don’t know, don’t respect and don’t give a shit about thinks or says about me. Guys grow up, develop a thick skin and if you find that impossible to do then stay the hell out of the Political Forum.
This is not, for me a matter of simply NOT liking change. If change, in my opinion, changes things for the better I’m all for it. If, however, change is simply for change sake I think it is worthless. In these cases I DO NOT see how they have improved the site.

Whenever I see a guy with a large nose ring I have a mental urge to attach a leach to it and lead him around like a dog.

I would have the urge to wave a red cape and see how he reacts.
