I think I've only been asked for my stats once, and I was upfront about them. He said wanted to avoid any surprises that would make the session unnecessarily difficult. It turned out to be a fun encounter, which led to a few repeats and a trip together before he moved back to his home country.

Not an escort here, but a couple of guys I've hired in the past have told me about some of their misadventures (never disclosing anything to identify the clients)...The stories may have been embellished, but seemed like they'd be probable things that might happen to an escort. One told me about a pretty scary situation where he had someone set up an outcall meeting, where he shows up and a woman answers the door with kids in the house behind her. The person who setup the meeting said he wanted an 'open door scene', but he had the good sense to ring the bell on arriving instead of trying the door. Apparently someone had some dispute with her husband, and had arranged for various people including escorts, people seeking drugs, fake craigslist ads, etc to show at their house to harass them. He said the woman was very matter of fact about the situation and told him he'd been set up, it sounded like an ongoing situation, so he promptly excused himself and left. Another was hired by a guy who lived with an animal hoarder who got very upset when he refused to enter the house.

If you're working in a service industry role, building some level of rapport and comfort helps insure repeat business, tips, better reviews, etc. Depending on the context, some flattery is an easy way to lower some barriers. So it makes sense for an escort to stroke your ego as well as your body. An escort who can find a aspects of a client who isn't exceptionally attractive and engage with them in a way that doesn't feel like executing a contract tends to earn a better reputation. Some banter or regular conversation when not in bed would be part of that, and a compliment or two helps with that. Is every complement you give a customer, coworker, or family member 100% sincere? Probably not, but it helps people get along better. Of course, any good thing becomes a negative in excess. A light compliment about a coworker's outfit helps smooth a conversation, but effusive gushing about it might get you an HR complaint. Same thing in escorting, less can be more, and the good guys have the emotional intelligence to know if they're crossing a line.

Yes, I saw him during the 4th weekend. The session was very enjoyable, well worth it. I wore my mask going in and out of the building, but not during the session. I'll definitely try to work in another session when I get back to the area.

It should be noted that there are two variants of the Edge broswer. There's the original Edge browser that shipped as part of Windows 10 which was based on a Microsoft originated browser engine. There also a Chromium (the open source core of Google's Chrome browser) that Microsoft recently released and is promoting heavily. The original Edge was pretty bad, and poorly rendered websites and poorly supported add-ins. The new version runs Chrome add-ins and renders websites just as any Chromium based browser would. It's intended to replace the original Edge when installed. The main difference is that Chromium Edge has features that tie to Microsoft's account and services, just as Chrome has features that tie to Google's account and services. Microsoft recently released it and is trying to push it out to replace the original. I use Chrome as my primary browser, with Firefox as a secondary, but I'm finding the new Edge is now an acceptable alternative.

I was really wanting to take the Coast Starlight this year, but Amtrak is slashing the long distance schedules and the meal service on board is getting curtailed to protect the staff and passengers.

I'm planning a trip to the Bay area in July, pretty much for the same reasons as you. I'm still trying to firm up accommodations.

Feckless blowhards supporting the reckless dotard broke their toys. I'd laugh too.

The Good Place

I don't think the Detroit/Windsor market can support a decent club right now. There has to be enough patrons to attract dancers to work there, but you have to have the dancers to attract the patrons, so anyone wanting to open a club would have to dump a chunk of cash just to get it off the ground. There's a lot better markets for the dancers just a few hours away in Toronto and Chicago. And now there's other options online for potential talent to get money with half the BS, like the 'fans' sites.

I don't have Grindr premium, but the option is still there on Android in the list of paid filter options. Maybe it is in the works but hasn't been pushed out yet. Scruff has removed the 'ethnicity' filter which they announced several days ago. Now if only they could do something about all those guys 'from [insert city, state] in the army on peacekeeping assignment in [insert country name] desperately seeking a serious committed relationship and just want to talk on google Hangouts'.

I'd rather be spanking him with the slide rule rather than be using it to compute his fee.

I am curious about the what escorts usually prefer when a potential client makes contact to set up a session in advance when visiting your city. I live in smaller market city, so I tend to look for guys when travelling. Usually I try to contact through RM or text directly, and let them know when I'm looking. I try to do this when I know my travel dates, which are usually a few weeks to a month in advance. If I know my schedule well enough, I try to set the time and date, but if I don't I try to let them know when I expect to set the date instead of leaving it open until I get in town. A lot of times I don't get responses, but I haven't had any big issues with meeting the guys who do respond. Do you look at clients that contact for something that far in advance suspiciously? What tends to put you most at ease with visitors?

On a hunch I checked if it worked on onlyfans...and yep. https://onlyfans.com/do_lab

Has anyone tried google voice recently? I'm not sure if it's still supported. I used to use that occasionally when I needed a phone number that wasn't linked to me personally, though never for hiring. If I recall it would give a screening message to inbound calls asking for them to ID themselves, before connecting through, which might be a bit off putting.

This is insightful. I never use the tactic of using negatively affirming questions to disqualify a guy I haven't met before, it just seems a bit too passive aggressive to me. I'd rather ask a guy if he likes to top because I want to know if he's going to enjoy doing it, instead of just going through the motions. Or if discussing kinkier options, it seems more productive to be direct instead of expecting the other guy to read my mind. Again, it's more about determining if there is mutual interest in that direction or not. But I would ask first about availability and rates, that would seem to go a long way for assuring that I'm serious about setting something up and not just asking questions for fapping material.

I love giving and receiving. I love the feeling when I get it, and I love giving it when a guy is very responsive to my attention.

I've set up a meeting with him in July, he didn't mention any precautions for then. I haven't met him before, but he was very responsive by text.
