The point when discussing prices is not that whether you or I find it ridiculous that people pay way too much for a handbag (or for a provider) -- the point it that some people actually do pay the ridiculous prices.  No matter how much you and I point out that Birkin Bags should cost substantially less is going to have any effect whatsoever on their actual price now or in the future. 

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.

Do you know a source for data re:  case numbers, deaths, other data for incurable syphilis?

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.

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.

To better understand the sentence, let's break it down into its components and explore the imagery and emotions involved.
Components of the Sentence
"Determined": This word conveys a strong sense of purpose or resolve. The speaker is committed to moving forward, indicating a focused mindset.
"I move": This part showcases action, suggesting that the speaker is actively engaging with their environment or journey.
"with the whisper of warm and cold winds":
"the whisper" gives a gentle, almost soothing quality to the winds, suggesting subtlety and softness. "warm and cold winds" contrast with each other, symbolizing varied experiences or emotions. Warm winds could represent comfort and positivity, while cold winds might signify challenges or difficulties. Overall Interpretation
The sentence illustrates someone who is resolute and taking action while feeling the gentle, contrasting influences of their surroundings. The "whisper" suggests that the speaker is paying attention to subtle cues in their environment, indicating a deep awareness of both internal and external experiences. It evokes a sense of balance between comfort and challenge as they proceed on their path.
Visual Imagery
Imagine a person walking forward, determined and focused, feeling the comforting warmth of a gentle breeze mixed with the sharper chill of a colder gust. This interplay of sensations might mirror the complexity of their journey—embracing the good while acknowledging the difficult moments.
Emotional Undertones
The sentence conveys a sense of resilience and adaptability. The speaker is not only aware of their environment but also attuned to the emotional undertones that come with each change in the wind. This can reflect a broader life experience where one must navigate varying situations with determination.
By unpacking these elements, the sentence emerges as a rich metaphor for determination amidst the complexities of experience.

Yes, it's true: a lot of people these day definitely have a problem understanding the difference between opinions and facts.  😞

Who in their equity-based mind would want a passive bottom? How insulting, condescending, and degrading to categorize a bottom that way.  Both should be active partners!  Roget's Thesaurus, Google, or some smart chick could help you realign your word choices.

Why "other than $$$$"?  You mean like the motivations of all other escorts everywhere...where money simply doesn't come into play in deciding why to escort? Something like:
World domination, Making his parents happy, Trying to fill up empty. lonely evenings on his calendar, Meeting interesting new friends, or Bringing joy and happiness into the lives of a few deserving men every week?  

Hmmmm.....I think if we can all voice our wild and crazy evaluations and cancelings here based on hermenteutical interpretations of individual provider minutiae here on Company of Men, then it is perfectly OK for providers to have a place to let loose their heartfelt comments!  🙂

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.

At odds? Hardly. I've known providers who were all that!  🙂

Do their photos need to be cut and pasted into this post (so when profiles disappear there is still some way to identify them?) Just a thought: I don't know. Yes/no??

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.  

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?  😉 
 

Tip?
Do you tip your doctor? lawyer? architect?
At hundreds of dollars an hour, a tip is inappropriate -- unless you just like to throw money to the wind at every opportunity.
 
 

You does you!

With wait staff, cleaning people, hotel staff, barber, etc I generally tip 20%-30% -- but I tip providers the same amount I tip my lawyer, physician, medical specialists, architect, psychiatrist. business consultant, private coach, etc. Once you get an hourly rate in excess of $200 per hour, tipping is not necessary (unless you have money to burn). 

My first thought when guys get a little older, grow a beard, put on a bit of muscle, and change their haircuts is that they are phony, so not sure what you mean?

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.
