At least you guys are getting actual quotes, which can be accepted or declined. My problem has not been unrealistic pricing. I can usually spot those guys and avoid wasting time. More common in recent years have been the guys who refuse to provide a number or reply "what are you offering?" It's one of the reasons I hit the pause button on the hobby.

Cut yourself some slack. When we're sick, we tend not to think as clearly as we otherwise would. You were hoping to improve and instead the opposite happened. We're just not destined to meet some guys no matter how much we would like to do so. Feel better. Happy hunting!

A "mix up" about 13-14 years ago ranks as one of my weirdest meetings. I scheduled a well-reviewed pro for a multi-hour appointment, dinner and fun. He mixed up my emails with the fantasy scenario another client shared with him. The result? We got back to the hotel room after dinner, and he started getting aggressive and rough, slapped me in the face....twice. I was stunned. Fight or flight kicked in, I punched him in the face and jumped off the bed. He was strong enough to hurt me. At least, I let him know that he would feel it when the fight was done. That's all I could do. He was shocked, then realized he had crossed up the client communications, and apologized. We called it off at that point. I prorated his fee and left. He was basically a good guy, who screwed up, even tried to decline the reduced fee, but that's not how I roll. I never saw him again. We never communicated again. That was back in the day when reviews could be juicy, detailed, and potentially more harmful to a guy's biz. I declined to write about that encounter, and that's when I was writing alot of reviews. He f'ed up. It happens. He made a mistake. Others deceive. Others defraud. And still others don't give a damn one way or the other. I had already been hobbying long enough to know that unsatisfying encounters go with the territory. All you can do is move along and give it another try when you are ready to get what you want from another guy who seems to offer what you want. But my encouragement: give yourself a break. You are a good guy and a good client. Providers will be fortunate to have you schedule with them in the future. Scenes like this suck, but they are a component of the overall risk-reward equation in this hobby.

Well, their "algorithm" scrolled through my tumblr and hid some of it from view. It's completely random what is now hidden and what is visible. Most of the hidden pics are just guys in speedos or sexy undies, or jocks, or showing some fine ass. Some of the hidden posts/pics are artistic and very tasteful, or just bare chests, even a guy draped in a US flag showing nothing. To restore them, I have to appeal each and every effected post they have flagged. They can f*** right off with that!

That overnight rate is very reasonable compared to some of the unrealistic and outrageous quotes I've seen from others.

I noticed the good stuff I previously enjoyed on others' tumblr is.....<poof>.....gone. My tumblr is visible. I deleted alot of pics and never posted videos, so that may be the difference. But it's effectively dead because as soon as anyone complains to tumblr about something I post for whatever reason, I'm sure they will kill it.

Alot of folks seem to be taking the same action. I noticed the number of followers has gone down significantly since the announcement. Oh well, it's a good thing I stopped blogging months ago; it would all be lost anyway. I deleted some pictures to clean it up, maybe the tips for clients page will survive. Newbies seemed to like that info. But if they kill it, so be it. I'm not going to re-create that content again.

Thank you for sharing, TB. I am saddened that this gentleman and inspirational figure has passed from our community. He will be missed by us all. My lasting memory is the two of you walking away after the Sunday night dinner, and thinking to myself "how lovely and sweet that is to see." My sympathies to all who loved this fine and gentle man.

Generally, I'm time-conscious and check in if I think we are going long, but that type of "pro" is a scammer. My response: "we scheduled a 2 hour meeting for xxx. You ignored our agreement. Not my problem."

Baller, you are awesome! Would love to break bread with you in DC.

I've purchased airfare for all providers that I request to travel to me or with me. However, I've had about 3 naive types buy their own airfare and ask me to reimburse them when we met. Lucky for them, I'm a sure thing, but providers should never do that.

Your chosen professional for the evening usually ends the meeting. Unless we amend the agreement, I hold to the original terms, but include a tip for an extended good time.

I don't care any more. My info has been stolen so many times I've lost count, including the worst of all, when hackers took the entire OPM database, of which I was just one of 20 million Americans.

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

I'm having flashbacks to Dec 31, 1999. I spent the day and evening in the "war" room of a high-risk organization ready to respond to any emergency. We planned and prepared for almost 2 years leading up to the event, but we honestly did not know if it was going to be "ho-hum" or an apocalypse. Turned out to be a yawner. I was dismissed and went home a little after 1 A.M. We waited for central time zone to enter the new year, since our operations crossed time zones.

I am dressed in my best and prepared to go down as a gentleman. http://www.dealbyethan.com/images/ppu/ppu-1605-grey.jpg

Yep. Done that a few times. Even eulogized the deceased a couple of times at the request of family.

Our hobby is all gone-gone, ain't it?

Think I have a new fetish I would like to try! Get nekkid with a choice stud. Smear greasy fried chicken and syrup-soaked waffles all over each other. Lick, suck, and stroke it all off. Then jump in the shower for about an hour to clean up the mess.

If that's what you want, it doesn't sound like you will get it.

I have ignored most cash requests, but for 3 individuals, I did "loan" money. I never saw the money or any of them again. That's why I view generosity as a "gift" rather than a "loan"; it helps me avoid bitter feelings when the return on my kindness investment is zero.

This is one of the reasons I am sidelined from pursuing the hobby. About half of companions do not use condoms any more and will adamantly refuse my "safer" request. It's always with words about "PrEP", "I'm clean and tested", "you're safe", "you will be ok" and besides "they hurt, they chaff, they cause me to have an adverse reaction, they kill my hard-on", "they don't feel good", blah, blah, blah. Those guys are right. I'm safe! I'm out of the game and on the bench.

I stopped viewing hourboy long ago. I thought it died. Just viewed it again and all of the local listings seem to be many years old.

I have been using DDG for a long time. I recently tasted google's monopolistic contempt when I took a chromebook and set the default search browser to DDG. Their response? My chromebook received an immediate notice that it would no longer be supported or receive software updates. google can fuck right off!

Well, my request was fulfilled. One of the finer, upstanding members of Hooville snapped me up to shack up together. He's def going to enhance my rep out yonder. See yall for PS 2019.
