And restaurateurs are drawn to polyester? 😉

Once several years ago, after an extraordinary dining experience with exquisitely prepared food in the most beautiful restaurant with impeccable yet friendly service, my dining companion looked at me and said: "I'm very disappointed that the napkins aren't100% cotton."

I think this is great, and thank you for doing this! 😄 However, I wonder when you say some of your data is "from posts on here" if that skews the results to the high $ side, given that rates mentioned within posts are usually prefaced with comments about how unrealistically, crazily high the rate is and the whole point of the post is that the poster wants to get their frustration off their chest -- as opposed to many, if any, posts about how unrealistically , crazily LOW (let alone how reasonable) the rate quoted by the provider was.

Thanks! 🙂

So if you are making a distinction between mathematical mode and mean, where are your data tables? Or are you referring to the distinction between "personal anecdotally-based guesstimate mode" and "personally anecdotally-based guesstimate mean"? 😉

There's really nothing there. Clearly his social media intentions were bigger than his social media reality. 😞

Non-performance or a very, very, very short session which they spend most of the time on the phone or his spending most of the hour alone in the bathroom or....... keep in mind there are members here at CoM who disagree with not paying up front and it's been mentioned in a million other posts, but I can only advise from my personal experience.

I agree with @marylander1940 It may feel a little awkward in the moment -- but in retrospect, it will feel empowering (and much better than probably getting scammed.)

I love random common saying time!!! A stitch in time saves nine. Seeing is believing. He who farts in church sits in own pew.

Or perhaps he's someone with a full time job who thinks the idea of being hired three or four times a year for an extra $4,000 in his pocket as a fetish (as opposed to a livelihood) is intriguing and sexually tantalizing.

It's exactly the same for Winnifred the Woebegone.

Yes indeed, he is doing -- whatever it is that he is doing -- as a personal insult to you. 😉

Sometimes a provider has a few days...or a week...or more free and simply wants to travel to the location that will have the most business for him with no personal preference. He says he will be in a list of places and then waits to see which place is most responsive to his ad.

After. If a provider asks for payment up front [except for travel expenses, which is totally reasonable request] there is always a good chance it's a con or scam. Some guys on CoM with deep pockets and no budget for their hobby think it's OK to pay up front.

But can't you also agree that commenting critically about silly jokes, ruthless sarcasm, and "ridiculous speculation" only clutters the threads even more....and is also not as interesting to read? 😉

On top of the rock, not under it.

When I hold a quarter against his picture, he only looks to be 2-2/2 quarters tall.

This?? It?? Don't you mean "him"?

Oh, that old thing??? Almost everybody and their grandmother has a life-size Madonna and Child tattooed across their entire backs these days, and the temporary removable versions are on sale priced for immediate clearance. 😉

Doctors, lawyers, or business owners are not the only people with what you call "real jobs." I wasn't talking about clients, I was talking about MOST people in the world. Clearly they are not on your radar. Well, at least we know that in the end when providers lose the only things they have that you think has value, they probably won't be nearly as smug and self-satisfied as some of their clients are.

Perhaps some of these “successful” amateur porno providers once their looks fade and their faces with their boners are all over the net are assembling a little nest egg and investing it on the side -- so that they will be a little more secure than people toiling away at "real jobs" that barely pay minimum wage -- and find themselves both in bad health and in debt after decades of hard work. I'd rather be optimistic than otherwise. As far as the discount question, Freud wrote about the importance of the exchange of money for services being necessary for a client to register/appreciate the value of the services and for transference to begin. I think some of that thinking might be relevant here also.

Who is the bf?

Where does one find data/time/address/cost for BuffDaddy online?? Sorry, but I'm not finding it.

Just like narcissism and lack of empathy! Although desperation can also make some people thankful and full of gratitude.
