You're missing the deeper, and may I say, profound meaning of photo #2. Notice how the right foot is angled slightly more outward than the left foot, suggesting he is not a rigid perfectionist and is open to new experiences. 🤣

I have relatives in the Vancouver area who have told me that the number of attacks has gone up significantly. Mostly in lower income areas of downtown and east Vancouver. Some appear quite random while others may be racist in nature and linked to anti-Asian sentiment that rose during the pandemic.

96? 😉

100%. And thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on those you have found to be particularly kind!

I guess everyone has their own definition for what constitutes bullying. I think this may be the first time in my life I have been called a bully.

No, I have never tried to stop anyone from entering a supermarket.

We evidently have a different idea about what a bully is, as well. Nothing you have written has offended me in any way because we are all free to express our ideas and should be able to without judgement or name-calling.

He was mentioned, but I don't think there was additional discussion.

As I mentioned in a previous reply to you: Our conversation here seems to reinforce the fact that everyone has their own priorities when it comes to relationships - even those relationships that may be more transactional in nature. It's always good to hear others' points of view, in my opinion. So... no argument here about everyone's right to their own opinions.

This keeps going around in circles - let's stop the merry-go-round

Sorry - I'm confused about the pregnancy comment...

That is sad to me on a number of levels. We clearly have very different perspectives.

I'm not sure it can be boiled down to something so one-dimensional. There are some people in every line of work who do the job only because of money, but for most people, I think there is usually more to it. Enjoyment of the work, making a difference in the lives of others, and seeing value in a job well-done. I also think that true kindness will carry over into an individual's personal life, and vice-versa.

I understand where you're coming from. It might seem like an odd question for me to pose, but to me, kindness is more than pleasantness and politeness. It goes deeper, and perhaps it is a difficult thing to gauge for a lot of people unless you have met with someone multiple times.

"I suggest you put your verboseness as you boast to the actual test." I don't really understand what you are saying here. "Kindness is just basic civility and respect and attention, and that's it." I would say that this more accurately describes 'politeness', and I have found there is a significant difference between being polite and being kind - though the two are not mutually exclusive. "An escort is just a loose acquaintance, and not a friend or family member." To me, kindness is something we should try to show everyone we encounter, whether or not that person is a friend or family member. And it is nice when that same kindness is also returned - though it is never guaranteed even from friends and family members - lol. Our conversation here seems to reinforce the fact that everyone has their own priorities when it comes to relationships - even those relationships that may be more transactional in nature. It's always good to hear others' points of view, in my opinion.

Great museum, as are the others on Museum Island. The Neues holds the iconic bust of Nefertiti.

Nobody said anything about charity. I'm not sure how you read that into the posts.

And I resolve to stop being a coach potato.

Not to venture into politics in this forum, but I saw an interview with him a couple of years ago, and his comments were quite anti-LGBT.

Hi everyone, There seems to be an understandable focus on which providers are the handsomest, sexiest, have the biggest endowment, are the best kissers, etc., but I am wondering who you would list as having the kindest character? I don't mean just politeness and professionalism, but true kindness - a warm and giving heart and a genuine interest in those around them. Maybe even self-effacing and unaware of how incredible they may happen to be? Perhaps it is too difficult to accurately gauge true kindness given the transactional nature of provider/client interactions, but if there are providers who stand out for you as being particularly kind, which ones are they? I have never met with anyone, but I know that nothing is more attractive to me than someone who puts others first and and does not consider themselves better than anyone else - regardless of how hot they may be.

This must be fake. His age is 29, and I understand there's a bylaw that anyone under 50 years old is not allowed within Palm Spring's city limits - especially if one is a masseur. LOL

I think the reality is that people will ask whatever donation amount they feel they can get, even if it is above what the market may indicate. I know this has been said many times before, but if the demand is not there at such high donation amounts, then the provider will likely need to lower the amount. But it is also true that someone seeking a donation of $500 or $1000 may only need to see a small number of clients willing to donate that amount in order to make a livable income. I was browsing through Hunqz the other day our of curiosity, and was surprised by the number of guys in Europe seeking between 100-150 Euros as their donation for time. That is only $110-$160 USD. I wondered if these were scams because those values are much lower than what is generally requested in the US and Canada. But having never met with anyone, I am not an expert on what donation amounts would normally be.

And I should do one, "20,000 consecutive nights alone" - 🤣

She and Sophia Loren, and Yvonne De Carlo too. I can't think of anyone today that can hold a candle to those three in their prime.
