SCMass

One of my favorite hires ever.  Very good massage followed by a very good everything else.  Great guy, pics very accurate, skills are excellent.

I hired in a city while visiting friends (I was in a hotel solo, had a free night and an excellent time). Very shortly thereafter he was a "suggested friend" on a social media site with about 12 mutual friends from that city. Turns out the provider had gone to college with a lot of my friends.  Didn't friend and had time to figure out what to do if we crossed paths socially (which hasn't happened yet).

I'm a physician.  I have no-shows all the time on my appointment books. EVERY physician does. Any physician who says he doesn't is lying.
But do I DEMAND a deposit from a new patient (or follow up patient) to make an appointment with ME? Nope. I gotta take the good with the bad just like everyone else, escorts included.  
So, to all the escorts reading this (and I know there are many providers who never sign up to this forum but use it for information & learning, so yah, I know you are reading this): HELL NO, you do NOT deserve a deposit.  In the same way, I dont either.   
Dont like no-shows? Work on strategies to diminish them. 
To all my client friends here: the latest deposit-scam I've come across is the escort asking (insisting) for an Uber to bring them to me. Um, yah, no.  Their "Outcall" fee needs to have incorporated all of their transportation costs.  I've politely declined these Uber requests and GUESS WHAT, they all have eventually capitulated.  Dont (ever) be rude, demanding, or inappropriate but stay professional, and decline this not-so-subtle strategy of getting an Uber (a deposit) and you will prevail.  Or just walk away. Why contribute to the downfall of this hobby? 
Love to all
Josh

Drama

I've been looking around for masseurs for an upcoming trip to Ft Lauderdale and checking out the reviews.
 
There are way too many 5 star reviews for 5 stars to mean much to me.  I wonder if there's a better system than a number if stars with no real guide as to what the number means.  For me getting what I expected out of a massage would be 3 stars with additional stars being used based on above average skills or extras and subtraction of stars being based on lack of skills or poor conditions.  But I bet if I rated people I was pleased/satisfied with because they did what I hired them to do (no more/no less) at a 3 they would be offended for having received a bad review.

His photos are hot.  Wish he would come west. 

I think it's best to use this rule:
If you've only met in private, only greet in private. If you've met in public, then greet in public.
I think you perhaps assumed his outlook on the greeting would mirror your own. I think it best to err in assuming he would want to keep what was private anonymous as well. I know I expect that from a provider. Unless you are told explicitly otherwise, to assume something to the contrary is in my view presumptive. To assuage your feelings that you should acknowledge him or anyone else in the future, you can instead walk by about your business and send a private text later. Perhaps then he might give permission to greet in public. I think this is an approach that respects his space and also your desire to say, "Hello."

I always seem to make a bigger mess in the process of clearing clutter then it all seems to come together.  I don't know about anyone else but I can't seem to throw away one card ... but get 10 of them together and THEN I can trash them.

One of the hottest massages turned more than erotic happened with a travelling guy (I'm in a flyover state). Session started more formally than most, he explained he didn't like to talk so he could focus on his work, etc. We hadn't discussed anything but time and rate so I assuned there wouldn't be much more than a massage and possibly maybe a technical HE. Massage was technically very good and I relaxed into it at least content in that. Jolted into reality when his tongue joined the glute massage in an awesome way. He said it was time to flip over...followed shortly by it's time to move to the bed. The ending was much happier than I ever anticipated with no talk of additional rates or add-ons. When the session was over I gave a 75% tip in the folded cash and headed out. By the time I got to the elevator he'd texted that I had tipped too much. I told him I'd tipped too little for a technically great massage + and to add my location to his rotation!

This thread needs to be pinned so future generations can read how damned foolish men are when they think only with their dicks.
