Oh, you’re THAT guy…. The dude who responds overtly sarcastic to posts not directed at him, and gets “off”, from a false sense of intellectual superiority from being obnoxious, arrogant, off putting and nasty. Well let me give you this “perspective”. You’re not “witty”, “humorous”, or “funny”. And your juvenile retort is sophomoric at best. So instead of finding posts to troll with your useless responses. I’d give you one bit of advice that extends beyond this forum: Get a life.

You should have left it alone after you said “Thank You”. what was the point in going back and forth with him about his rate? He provided his rate and you didn’t want to entertain it. Simple situation.

I’m glad you made this point. Once major cities lose its downtown retail, the city starts to decay from its nucleus.

Much of Europe is plagued with drug use. However, Portugal managed to reverse its drug problem.

Ironically, I wish providers would post their “preferences”, saves me the time of even contacting them for a booking. On the topic of a provider requesting pics, he clearly has a “type”, and wants his client base to fit that mold. He’s definitely of the YMMV persuasion. However, if I wanted to go through the pic-exchange crap, I’d just get on an app.

We are on the same page. I’m just a smidge more pessimistic….😝

This IS part of the topic.

The Chairman doesn’t trust the CEO with billions of dollars, the CFO has that responsibility. .

…. And in those companies, the CEOs answer to the Board of Directors. The Chairman of those boards are definitely not East Indian…. 😉

It’s funny you mentioned him. In the city I live in (DC), there are tons of 7-Elevens with “Apu” there. The irony is that Apu owns the franchise and is making TONS of money.

Men should charge what they believe they are worth. They can evaluate that based on their looks, age, niche factor, dick/butt size, specialty services, location, amenities, or anything they choose. There’s no set formula for that. if he sets a price and makes a successful living from those prices then it works for him.

We both understand. 1.) it’s poor etiquette to question a provider’s rates. 2.) you are correct in “moving on” if a prover’s rates are too high for you. The practice of questioning rates by ethnicity isn’t something that occurs blatantly. It’s usually thinly veiled with some other justifying B.S. No one is going to flat out tell a provider: “Why in the hell would I pay your Black/Asian/Hispanic a$$ , THAT much money?” It simply doesn’t work that way…

When one is determining his rates, race has nothing to do with it. When a potential client questions his rates, race has ALOT to do with it.

Men should charge what they feel they are worth. No one determines a man’s value, but himself.

You shouldn’t factor this in at all. The provider should be the one determining the pay. And his rate shouldn’t be questioned either.

Good word play. You obviously threw some passive-aggressive shade towards his comments and posts. Just own it. I’m not judging you, and nor should you judge him.

I’ll give you examples to counter your point: sports, specifically the NFL. The NFL welcomes inclusion, as they will put talented black players on the field to win games, get concussions and build fan fare… But the NFL won’t welcome equality, as the NFL moves up in the ranks of coaching and ownership, there’s a clear glass ceiling that talented black applicants can’t reach, even if it would better benefit the franchise. Even in capitalistic society, there’s a boundary of race…. and goes like this: “We welcome minorities, as long as they know their place. You might be even reach the room, but you’re not going to be at the TABLE. And you’re never going to get me SEAT.”

Be nice. These forums allow people to express their experiences, and in some cases allow people to vent.

The problem with the “reality of numbers”, is that it’s selectively used to draw “scientific” conclusions and generalizations towards black men. For example, in many discussions on crime, the easiest “statistic” that people use to make the generalizations that black men are pre-destined to be criminals is that they are “a small percentage of the US’s population, but are the highest percentage of those conducting crimes”. Because of this, I’m looked at as a potential criminal, simply because of this statistic. However, the profile of a lone-wolf, IS terrorist of a middle aged white man; The world’s most prolific serial killers are white men; and The highest demographic of child predators are white men. Yet, no one (of any race) carries any fear or discomfort around white men at all. Jeffrey Dahmer, the Craigslist Killer, Stephen Port (the original Grindr killer), and Mark Latunski (the Grindr killer who mutilated his victim), are all widely known, yet no one (of any race), will have any reluctance to hook up with a white guy in the middle of the night anonymously from an app, because white men are generally assumed to be harmless, regardless of data or statistics.

Additional translation from the “street level Hooker” from this study…. “I can snooker a white guy out of $200.00 by shortening time, but I can’t pull that B.S. with a black guy…..” Further, I’ve seen quite a few posts on threads where people complain about providers shortening them on time. Kudos and respect to any customer (black or white) who has the balls to call out any provider who is trying to pull stunts like this for a fast and easy buck.

Always remember that you can’t impose your standards or beliefs of etiquette onto others. Carmax doesn’t haggle, Neiman Marcus doesn’t complain and never explains…. … and neither should you. If you provide your pricing to a potential client and he responds with what he “can’t afford” and what he thinks you’re “worth”, simply don’t respond. I wouldn’t even waste my time being offended.

I definitely don’t manifest these stereotypes, not to apply them to how I view or judge people. My posting was based on observations of things I’ve witnessed in life, from conversation to posts on this forum. I make a conscientious effort not to apply generalizations to others, because I hate when it’s done to me (and it’s done to me a lot). However, I do enjoy debunking those generalizations and watching people embarrass themselves in the process.

There may be a twist to this… The average looking white guy is now a “niche”. And many command higher rates… Remember, Paul Rudd got voted “sexiest man alive”, and the COVID pandemic gave more empathy for the “dad bod”.

Agreed!!! It’s so disrespectful.
