But do they advertise that? I doubt women are looking for an escort nearly as much as men though.

I’ve decided I’m going to start using this because it embodies me on multiple levels

“Hey 👋🏻“ Imagine if I had sent an escort that So many providers want you to be specific when you reach out to them. They say so in their ads even. We’re supposed to include what we’re looking for, when we’d like to meet, our favorite color is…So we don’t waste their time. Then I get this… “Hey 👋🏻“ I guess my time isn’t valuable…

I had never considered this angle, but all the more reason for me to hire gay or bi. I wonder how many gay escorts would fuck a woman for the right price…

I suspect many members here would quite enjoy using the 🙄 on my posts!

This thread is on life support, but… We need this button. Or this button 💁🏻‍♂️ Except the people who posted a 👍🏻 on this post from you 😂 I would be inclined to use an eye roll emoji and comment…because I really can’t help myself and need to say something. That’s more a pathological issue than a laziness matter.

@Shawn Monroe– I admire people who can do that with their alarms…If I don’t absolutely have to wake up like I do for work, setting an alarm invariably leads to hitting snooze 5-6 times. Despite the best of intentions, I just can’t peel myself out of bed if I don’t “need” to… ”Plant dad” is a new term. I see guys on IG who are really into their plants though. So they’re plant dads? Is that a new type of gay? I used to have oodles of orchids and had success getting them to bloom – til I adopted a Maine coon who loves to chew on anything long and thin, like an orchid stem. That was the end of my plant days…Shame because now I have a beautiful sunroom where I could keep plants. Damn pets…

The webmaster there isn’t terribly on top of things in my opinion. I had an issue some months back about a guy who scammed me and reported it to the webmaster. He didn’t much care. That guy now is running multiple accounts.

Resorts are places where Americans (and sometimes Japanese) can go abroad but not have to engage with the local culture. I’m heading to a resort in Scotland with an escort at the end of April. We are looking forward to the resort, to be sure. It’s gorgeous. But we’ve already committed to do things off-resort, including driving about. The resort planners wanted to book us for “tours” (read: activities) on-resort, but we’re not really interested in that. I told him I want to go to a local restaurant every. One of the best things about traveling is sampling local cuisine. This is where you have to be savvy with looking up reviews online. I was surprised how many folks who stay at this resort pay for tax or other ride services simply to avoid renting a car and driving on the opposite side of the road. That doesn’t bother me at all. And renting a car is much cheaper than ride services. Unless of course you’re going to spend the whole vacation on-resort. Resort vacationing can be a lot of fun, but you have to know how to plan if you want a taste of the local way of life. And even then, you’re still a tourist.

The site isn’t known for efficiency. I’m not surprised an announced plan hasn’t yet happened.

There are tropical penguins! Maybe not PV-far north, but there are indeed tropical penguins. And I’m betting they poo – tropical poo too! 😂

November may be a better time. I’m not super excited about hot places! 🥵

As best I can. My Schwarzwalder cuckoo clock loses time throughout the day, and I need to set it when I recalibrate the weights every morning. The eight-day clock can be slightly off if I don’t wind it exactly the right time every eight days. But on the hole, I run a pretty tight ship with my clock wall! The eight-day clock is very finicky about whether or not it’s perfectly level. That affects whether it gains or loses time as well.

@HoseMaster

It can be hard to know if a guy is an asshole before you meet if it’s escorting. Unless of course he’s a bottom! 😂 I’ve found some guys extremely attractive until I get to know them. Then they become ugly to me. If they’re jerks. But a homelier guy can become more attractive if he has a good personality. That said, if I don’t know anything about personality, I can still be attracted to a guy. On a related but different note, I think there’s also a difference between recognizing someone is good looking, attractive, hot, etc. and being turned on by them. I can appreciate and identify a good looking woman; she still doesn’t turn me on. I don’t think society taught my body to not have a physiological response to seeing a good looking woman, even if I “know” she’s attractive.

❗️‼️❗️‼️❗️‼️❗️ I almost always have a watch on. And I have a whole wall in my living room decorated with different clocks. I love clocks.

Professionally, I follow this axiom: “Early is on time. On time is late. And late, don’t even bother.” More casually, depending on who and what, I’ll either arrive a minute or two early, or “fashionably late,” which means like 30 minutes after I’m told whatever it is “starts.” If I’m going to a cookout or something similar that’s running at a friend’s house all afternoon into the evening, I don’t show up at 2pm, especially if they say “around 2pm.” I’ll probably come between 3-4:00 but stay a few hours. On the other hand, if they say they want to get started around 2pm but need everyone gone by 6:00 for some reason or another, then that affects when I’ll show up. It’s situational, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I have this way if approaching it that’s clearly systematic, but something that I “just do.” @Jamie21– Do you take the same approach to time with clients? Or do you see those “work-related” times as something more binding? I can imagine sometimes an appointment is flexible, but others, time is of the essence…

Like a Rorschach test, of sorts. Too much thought renders a useless result. Oh, come on! Who doesn’t think Larry David is a living Adonis?! 🤣

On the whole, I have a very structured schedule. But days off, I try to be a bit more…freer with my time. But I do like to “schedule“ things because otherwise I find that I fritter the whole day away, and that would make me feel like I wasted it. Even though it’s my day off, if I don’t do anything “productive,“ I’m going to end up feeling kind of guilty for it. Sometimes when I have a day off I end up sleeping a lot because of how crazy my work schedule is when I do work. And I need to catch up on actual sleep, not just resting and relaxing. But then I end up feeling like I have nothing to show for the day because I woke up late and took a long nap in the afternoon. But in all actuality that was exactly what I needed to do on that day.

I like pictures that look thoughtful, and actually capture a guy‘s personality or at least what he’s selling. Nice pictures go a long way. Headless torsos and dick pics don’t really do it for me…in fact, that may disinclined me de even look beyond his pictures at what he’s written in his profile, if anything at all. I have mixed feelings about pictures from exotic locations. On one hand of course it can send a message that he has an appreciation for the same things I do. I love to travel, as well. But at the same time if I see pictures from, say, Europe, the Caribbean, the Rockies, and Africa all in the same ad, it makes me think to myself, “This guy isn’t going to enjoy spending any time with me” because I don’t be that kind of glamorous life. It makes me feel like it’s not even worth my while approaching him because I’m not the caliber client he is looking for. I can only afford one vacation like that per year, at best. Which, very well, could be in fact what he is attempting to do by posting pictures of himself in an array of exotic vacation locations – Preemptively weed out potential clients like myself.

Being gay. Having sex with men who also identify as gay. Potentially living with such a man. I didn’t realize this was that complicated. Straight people don’t define their “lifestyle” as such – unless they have hangups about sexuality in general. What is the “straight lifestyle?” People’s lives are so different. And people of particular lifestyle types are very different. I don’t understand why the “gay lifestyle” is one inherently of substances, sex, and partying…I mean, by that token anyone who does those things would have to be gay. It seems to keep it simple the gay lifestyle is really just finding satisfaction in a sexuality that is exclusively lived out with other men. Maybe my feeble brain just can’t get the concept though. I don’t comprehend it and have cognitive issues.

Can’t honestly say I ever thought about it til this moment…I guess that means it hasn’t bothered me. What does bother me are the extremes: pictures that are clearly such poor quality I want to ask, “Why’d you bother?” and pictures that are so professional or photoshopped that when you meet in person it’s a disappointment.

@DanteV– Many people could give you a very specific number of hours that they work each week, even down to the quarter hour. It’s not unreasonable to think some people would know…I was wondering what a typical number of hours might be that an escort invests in work. Some escorts here only escort as their work. Others do it as a side gig. That alone would be a differentiating factor between the amount of time that somebody dedicate each day or week or months to the work of escorting. In my spare time, I spend a lot of time playing Cities Skylines in Civ V. I compose music, and arrange choral pieces. I like to cook, and I enjoy drinking different kinds of scotch with a good friend of mine almost every night. I wouldn’t consider this forum one of my primary “spare time” activities. And for the record, my questions weren’t rhetorical.

You make it sound like gay people don’t like being gay…”afraid to take ownership”…as if we don’t like being gay. I have no problem accepting a) that I’m gay and b) that I’ve made choices consistent with that. No fear in owning any of that… You seem to make a lot of presumptions and assumptions about gay folks and then work from that place to say we (gay folks) have some sort of internalized, reifying shame about out sexuality and the choices made around it. Let me categorically, unequivocally say: We don’t.

To think that biology doesn’t affect our behavior in all elements of existence is just ludicrous to me. We are biological beings, after all. Chemicals firing around inside us making us do all sorts of things. That doesn’t mean environment doesn’t also play a part. It would be just as ludicrous to say that it doesn’t. But just like everything in our complex existence as human beings, our sexuality has to be both biology and environment. Anyone who insists it’s all one or the other is deluding themselves – be they a layman or an expert in their field.
