That good, huh?

I'm confused as to why many of the posts are so discreet as to not reveal the names of who the worst providers actually were.

OK, then maybe "The Reality of the Thing in the Here and Now" is the title of the two page afterward at the very end of the book.

That would be a brilliant title for a novel.

Why?

Thanks for your clarity on this matter. So your preconceived notions were completely out of line, you jumped to incorrect assumptions, and you've learned that some times guys are the other type. Or the third type. Or even one of the other types. Thanks!

There's a reason why we often want to see the front page of a newspaper and not just the photoshopped date -- even though that reason has basically disappeared with the current capabilities of photo editing software.

Yes, it's so VERY annoying. And then I count to 10, .channel Julie and sing a few bars of "My Favorite Things," and remember it's just another one of those first-world, privileged problems and, as you say, manually look it up. https://youtu.be/0IagRZBvLtw?si=8E4LnRLTBCr6bT0X&t=60

It is probably safe to assume if an ad has two BAD reviews that they are not fake and not police. If an ad has two GOOD reviews, one is probably from the provider himself and the second is from his mom.

How nice for you. How nice for his ex. How nice for everyone.

Yes, yes. We'll have to. Definitely.

Interesting confidence to completely doubt facts without checking. Here’s 5 mins of effort… Search for posts by Peter Eater in Deli or Spa. Have to put a search term so used “info” and only looked at threads that say you posted vs replied. First 5 where the ad is still active with the Thread Title city and their current Ad Home city. DavidZeusXX - Title Palm Springs / Ad San Antonio ExclusiveTouch - Title LA / Valid Orlando MF - Title PalmSprings / Valid MisterBolden - Title Los Angeles / Ad Dallas HungAF - Title Palm Springs / Ad Kentucky 60% inaccuracy rate. Please fix them OP, and review to update your other titles that are inaccurate. If you truly believe what you assert, follow the advice of Vegas Mil and lead by example. And over at https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/161956-jack-ryan-in-palm-springs/ @Lucky and @azdr0710 have noted "he is not in Palm Springs, but West Hollywood. "

It's the MOST relevant issue! Why name cities if they are going to often be completely and utterly wrong?

Visit people at their place of business and beat them with a wet noodle? Ignore this whole chain of posts.

So, we can conclude from that observation that at least one (if not both) is wrong.

Bump

I think it's a bad idea to put the city in the title, so maybe I should have been more explicit! I was offering an example to members here of one of the many times the city in the title doesn't work -- in order that if any followers of this specific post are so committed to keeping the city in the title, that THEY "can report the thread or ask OP to change topic title."

So delete Palm Springs and add Miami and NYC to the title of this post

You double-checked what he charged you? How do you double check what you paid in the past?? Suddenly realized there was an additional $100 missing from your wallet??? Or perhaps are you actually Date_robert himself and decided to increase your rate? 😉

Love your sarcasm! But SERIOUSLY, If "queries" means questions, what does "queeries mean"?

Also in “the city in the title is not ideal” camp. But I also think a more helpful note inside the first comment would be “currently in French Lick, but based in Loogootee, although often visits family in St. Meinrad, and is planning to spend an extended spring break in Cumback."

First hand experience: This is the fourth time that he's advertised that he is coming to NYC. The first three he never got here.

Who? link? verbs? meaning? English as a second language much?

This is particularly concerning given we all know that every single person posting on CoM is a law abiding citizen and is as pure as the freshly trampled snow.

And it looks like he may even be holding the book right side up! And getting to the exciting climactic last pages. 😉 Can anyone read the title?
