Wow. You asked a question, someone provided a thoughtful answer, and you show total disregard for his perspective and shoot him down. So why did you form it as a question when you're clearly not interested in any answer that disagrees with your take? Kevin Slater

Just keep in mind that you absolutely do not have access to those funds for the first year after purchase. Kevin Slater

(I haven't read this thread, so it may be that I'm contributing nothing new.) I think you'll be fine the night before. The prep is a little gross and uncomfortable, but you can sort of time it by when you take the swigs of the stuff they give you. There seems to be two ways of doing it: they either send you home with a couple pouches you add to a gallon jug o' water, or they give you these smallish cans of oily goo to drink. Do you know which you are? I find the pouches added to water to be a more, um, explosive event. My advice in that case is to skip the toilet altogether and just go straight to the shower. It's easier to clean as you go. In my experience, the toilet works fine for the drink in a can method. This may not pertain to you, but for others reading this topic, it's not a horrible idea to plan to bottom afterwards. You'll be squeaky clean! Kevin Slater

Yup, some are definitely of the opinion of professional services contracted off grindr should be at a discount. To avoid the being banned issue, my first reply is inevitably to ask for their number so I can move the conversation onto text (a medium I control). That leaves no reportable/actionable thread on the grindr platform. Most of the time they don't want to supply their number which is perfect, I've just saved myself endless messaging as I was going to require a number at some point prior to meeting up. Should he provide a number, my first outgoing text is "are you looking to hire an escort?" Kevin Slater

It's not just the privacy issue, it's that if you CC everyone, anyone replying also has the option of CCing everyone, so the whole group has just been added to a email thread that's now going to fill their inbox. Were you to BCC the list, replies could only go to you, rather than spamming everyone. Kevin Slater

The inflation rate would have to be -7.5% to wipe out the fixed 7.5% rate. Highly unlikely. Kevin Slater

Yeah, stringing him along then bringing up the mercantile is also trashy, and just unfair. Another concern is the apps will readily block you if you mention escorting, which I agree with, but is very difficult when someone tries to book you through that app. Kevin Slater

I should add Buy a sling. Not every client has to use it, but some will love it, and book you because of it. Rubber sheets are a provider's friend. Install a shower douche. Again, some clients will book you simply because you provide that. Learn at least a few basic massage techniques. You can save a ton of money by buying the gallon jug o' lube and decanting into smaller bottles. Offer them a damn shower afterwards. Duh. Kevin Slater

Yeah, but that gets tricky. Someone recognizes your pics from rentmen and decides to hit you up on grindr (thinking this would be a good time cuz you must be horny). Or someone else sends you a cryptic "available?", which to me implies he understands the context. Or after I ignore someone as you suggest, he sends a cunty passive-aggressive message "well I was gonna hire you but not if you can't bother to respond." Although I do agree that a provider initiating contact to solicit business is *trashy*. Kevin Slater

Met him socially. Very friendly. I think better looking in person, sharper features. Very unfortunate choice of usernames. He means LatinAbel, but I read LatinaBel. I'll tell him next time I see him. Kevin Slater

I believe it is impossible to get the money back, which is why providers may prefer it, in that (unlike with PayPal) the funds aren't going to magically disappear the next day. In order to prevent error, you may send a test dollar first, or have the provider send you a request rather than you initiating the transaction. Kevin Slater

Gentlemen: take your feud elsewhere, or simply block one another. Further posts to this thread should be about the escort at hand and his services, not an analysis of each other's posts. Kevin Slater qua admin

I get some very legitimate looking ones that I may well have fallen for, if only I had an account with, say, Wells Fargo. What pisses me off is how often legitimate correspondence does require you to click on the link. When I run the world, the email will just include some unique code which you will then enter on your own on, say, bestbuy.com to see what it’s all about. Kevin Slater

I think most brokerages don't charge commissions on trades anymore. Certainly Fidelity and Schwab don't. While Robinhood technically doesn't charge a fee for trading stocks or crypto, they make it up in a larger spread. No free lunch. Kevin Slater

Or, given the tone of this thread, not. That may be the smarter route. Kevin Slater

There could still be a scam, not centering around bilking Zelle. The transfer provides him with your name, for example. Kevin Slater

You can always test with $1 first and have him acknowledge receipt before sending more. Kevin Slater

Huh. Daddy always told me penises make the dollars. Kevin Slater

Get you, Nancy Drew! Kevin Slater

Not obvious at all. Personally, V gets me up and C keeps me up. Kevin Slater

Dunkin’ and plunkin’? K-Cup and legs up? Kevin Slater

What's wrong with nude? Is nude an option? Kevin Slater

Doth protest? Kevin Slater

Mind you, it tastes like shit. Cialis, however, is delicious. Kevin Slater

A large portion of my Fidelity accounts is a ETFs, and these days I'm all about avoiding expenses. To that extent, I wanted to share that today I discovered there's a cheaper alternative to QQQ (the Nasdaq 100 ETF). QQQM is operated by the same firm with an expense ration of .15% v .2% for QQQ. Apparently it's slightly less liquid given its smaller size, but for buy-and-hold investors the fee savings should be worth it. https://www.thestreet.com/etffocus/trade-ideas/this-etf-is-making-qqq-irrelevant Kevin Slater
