I'm not sure what I said that upset you!? I just said that I am doing well cause financially I was prepared. When I said I feel sorry for anyone that didn't prepare... I didn't mean pity. I just meant I'm glad that I'm not in that situation. I was basically saying I'm very lucky.... Wasn't a dig on you or anyone else. Just expressing that others are suffering and I am Not... I really don't understand how my sharing that I am not experiencing hard times upset you? I guess I worded what I said poorly so for that I apologize. I am thrifty though. Always plan for bad shit to happen. So that has worked out for me. And as for my RM ad I froze mine. Anyways sorry you are having difficulty and that my comment upset you. I think you misunderstood or took what I was saying the wrong way. I'm regretting coming into the forum last night :-(

Yeah, it's been going around....

Just a side note... When you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop, you'd be a glass-half-empty guy

Another thing I wish to add to this: lately I’ve been hearing from some first time clients, that they’ve gotten burned in the past by sending escorts deposits.
 
This in particular bothers me, because for 1, it’s not as if I burned them. And then 2, it seems to infer that we as escorts don’t get burned...oftentimes far more than once or twice. I always ask them, did the provider who burned you have several good reviews like I do? Because if not, that’s a short sight on their end. I have nothing to do with that, anymore than I have to do with an escort who actually meets a client, takes the money, and then “left something in the car”.
 
A prospective client shouldn’t look at providers, as a telemarketer. They contact us, on platforms that I spend $150 a month on. It also costs to set up accommodations and travel out to see a client.
 
I make it clear in my ads that I only host locally with deposit (because I too have been burned, making concessions to leave my house and get a hotel, only for people to not show up). The fact that some people try to ignore booking procedures, and then indirectly suspect someone is a scammer, is painting anyone who asks for advances in a bad light.
 
But in reality, it may simply just be someone who wants to be in control of their life, and not just go dashing out the door for any Tom, dick and Harry who sends a text message asking to meet. People have it backwards to think that we are to trust them, more than they should trust us.
 
I also wanted to re-address another poster saying what would someone do if they were a personal trainer. Well it’s actually quite common that personal trainers get their money for several sessions, in advance in 1 lump sum. You may pay $XXX for 6 sessions, but that’s not at each session. That’s in advance of each session.

I'm sure Trump has hired more than his fair share of escorts in the past:)
 
Makes sense though they dropped the rates, I'm surprised they still allow escorts to list what they are into sexually.
 
Is this law the same reason rentmen won't display detailed reviews in the US but will if you look at the reviews from a country outside the us?

How am I staying in shape? Well...I am not. ?

As of today, sporting equipment stores in CA are allowed to re-open, but with curbside pick-up, so you get to workout even before you are home.

Your rentmen ad suggests that you're living in Orange County, CA. Govenor Newsom was asked about Nail Salons in his daily briefing a few hours ago, and said that they would likely not be allowed for a few more *weeks* even with proper sanitation and PPE. I would assume that giving a massage involves at least as much proximity and time as manicures.

That down low location you wonk out at can't be that much of a secret since you let all of us know. So, where is it?

I applied. I pay taxes on my income, so I qualify as long as I filed correctly... Still waiting to find out. I always plan ahead for slow times, so even without possible govt money I've been pretty much set to weather this storm. I haven't depleted all of my cash yet and I have plenty of credit cards as backup... The ones that planned ahead for financial problems will weather the storm just fine....

I climb my hill daily at least two times (2 miles). Sometimes 4x. My trainer sees me 2x a week at a private downlow underground location... It's like Fight Club but without the fighting. But I don't tell anyone about my secret DL location that I am able to train at with weights. Watch my calories. Also bought some basic workout equipment for my home workouts. Weights are hard to find, but I managed to find a few by driving to 6 different Walmarts the day the shutdown happened back in March. When I saw Gavin I jumped into my convertible and basically drove from town to town till I got a basic collection as I knew the weights were about to disappear.

I personally don't like it cause it's yet another place for me to check for messages. Makes extra work for me. I already have missed calls, texts, regular emails, regular RM emails...and now I need to be on top of IM messages on RM!? So No I don't like it. I will notice your text or regular email faster.... As i get those notifications immediately.... I do my best though to check all the platforms...

I dont know about the others, but for me I froze my account for fear potential clients would try to shame me for having my profile active. Some people are going into Karen mode and being very judgmental if we advertise during this pandemic, so I just shut it down as I didn't want any DRAMA! Plus my roommate didn't want me working during the pandemic for fear I'd bring something home. He gives me a gift each week I don't work as incentive. This last week I got a massage gun as reward for not working. lol. So a escort freezing their account doesn't necessarily mean they caught Covid-19. They might just be respecting the shut down.... My state is suppose to open up in a week, so I am planning to unfreeze my ad in the upcoming days....

They prob "stopped kissing" as to not risk catching Rona and giving to you.... So it sounds like they are trying to still work but protect you... Me personally I quit working back in Feb. cause I didn't wanna deal with guys being pissed when I asked them if they had traveled recently and where!?

Some of us keep emergency funds on standby in case anything like this ever happens. I feel sorry for those that didn't :-(. It's a personal decision for you to decide on whether you want to do that!? I just know I would never ask my clients to do something like that. I'm actually turning clients away cause I have funds in my savings to get me thru these tough times... If you really like the guy though and trust him...it's your money. You should do what makes you feel comfortable....

I do 3 month checkups thru my insurance. On the other two months I go to a free testing clinic, so that I manage to get tested monthly. I don't have to pay for the ones I do at the free clinic, but I usually make a donation.

I can't answer for other escorts but as for myself I've gone out of my way to find ways to work out in spite of gyms being closed. We are allowed to exercise in our neighborhoods, so I've used my hill that I live on top of to hike but doing 4 roundtrips a day that equals 4 miles a day. I managed to snag a few light weights before all the dumbbells disappeared. I also bought a bunch of work out bands to make up for the fact that larger weights are not able to be found for purchase. While you are prob right and alot of escorts might fall out of shape cause of the gyms closing...for some of us that really care about staying in shape we have been thinking outside of the Box to make sure we stay in shape.

CA is making us wait till April 28 to apply as self employed gig workers, but we will be getting back pay.

I froze my ad but I still get requests. I try to be nice but a few times I've Not and messaged back..."Did Gavin lift the stay at home order and Forget to Tell Me!??" LOL
