Contradictions/inconsistencies do not occur in isolation. If there's one, there will be another and another.

Back in the day, I was a baseball statistician; I truly loved to consume the numbers. Gibby's 1968 season changed the game forever. ERA for the season 1.12. 34 starts. 28 complete games. 13 of them were shutouts. 5 consecutive shutouts in June 1968, in which he gave up only 21 hits in 45 innings. In the final six weeks of that season, he went to another level: 4 shutouts; 6 games with 10+ Ks. But the most remarkable stat is that he lost 9 games that year. He lost several one run games. He lost a game in which he surrendered one hit in 8 innings. In September, He lost two complete games on the road, gave up 3 runs, striking out 21. One of those losses was a Gaylord Perry no-hitter. Absolutely remarkable man, and fierce competitor. Hank Aaron counseled younger players......don't even think of staring at him....you will pay the price for that. Goodbye Gibby......baseball fans will always remember and appreciate you!

Hey y'all......Thanks to Sam's scouting report , I will be in Palm Springs April 2021, vaccine or no vaccine, masks/distancing or no masks/distancing, event or no event, many of us or few of us. I look forward renewing special acquaintances and making some new ones.

Kenneth...A few tips to enhance your return on investment here: -Sort the good ideas, deploy them in your biz model and ignore the rest of our nonsense. -Contribute occasionally on topics that interest you, and feel free to share your successes and lessons learned along the way. -Avoid controversy. Some of the best people you will ever meet are members here. I know numerous clients here; many are personal friends. Some of my best long-time friends I met and made through this community. -Enjoy! And make a great life for yourself! JJT

Welcome to the forum, Kenneth! I hope you find our little community helpful.

I have noticed his grindr profile numerous times, in which he primarily looks for studs to make content for his OF platform. But I also noticed the prior off-putting language directed at the folks in our community. Some guys are so short-sided, even worse, they think we don't notice it or remember it.

This is common among newbies, who have no business model and spend no time thinking through any of this. And I'll try not to get sidetracked about their woeful math skills (e.g. "150/hr and 400/2 hrs"......really?). Sometimes, I suggest a number, it is graciously received and we have a good time. That newbie gets introduced to the biz by a respectful, easy-going client, and from my point of view, he's the one getting the good deal. Other times, it goes no where, as in your case. Your cash has been preserved for a better deal down the road.

Welcome aboard! Like everything in life, it's what you make of it. If you are easy-going and want to have fun, then a lot of fun you will have, and meet some of the best folks in the world. You won't receive an individual invite. Since you participate in the forum, just look for the notices that Oliver (our gracious host) posts on the forum as we draw nigh the date. Follow his instructions, RSVP at the appropriate time, and he will provide details on dates/times/locations. See you at PS 2021!

Historically, as in the past 20 years, I have a hiring bias toward passionate play, so roughly 480 out of 500-ish. It's been quite common. But as they often say in the financial services industry, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

No difference between those sites and newbies on RM. Standard screening procedures and good ole common sense will yield similar possibilities of success.

Well, when I leave the calm of my country hideaway and start traveling again, we mature gentlemen will need to re-connect and re-kindle those prior flames. Thinking back, our meeting was probably 11 or 12 years ago. It is amazing how well I can remember the details of the good ones. The rest just become a blur.

Thanks Rod, for taking me back to the good ole days, when this level of customer service was common. I had 10+ years of overnights and weekends that were alot like this agenda. But in 2020.........this is anathema to the current crop of younglings.

Years ago, I gave RM one of my internet numbers (GV) for a verification. It is still listed on my profile. Only close family and friends get my cell number. Everyone else, including business relationships, get one of those other numbers. I don't receive any nuisance calls on my cell.

Appointment times that start slipping don't yield good meetings. I tried it a couple of times, neither was satisfying or a good investment. Now, my SOP is if a provider attempts to push back the start time with minimal notice, that is an automatic cancel.

I agree with Epigonos. A provider's rates tell you what duration he prefers, perhaps even excels. It makes no sense to hire a guy for a session that is outside his sweet spot. That is a disappointment in the making. My rule of thumb for finding a bargain and a good time is: An average overnight is 3-4 times the hourly rate. When the overnight is >4 times the hourly rate, the provider may not prefer that session, so it makes no sense to hire for the night. Schedule the shorter romp for fun and call it quits. When the overnight is <3 times the hourly rate, the provider is signaling his interest in the longer session. In my experience, these overnights have almost always been win-wins for the provider and me and damn good times.

Thinking back on 4 gfs from approx. 25-33 years ago. Two of them, I remember our circumstance well. Two of them, I cannot recall why we stopped seeing each other. Seems normal to me. Don't fret it; doesn't bother me about those 2, especially since my life has been super awesome without them in it.

Always check. Always will.

Earlier this year.....I met a provider who had a prolonged run of bad client encounters; he said to me...."thank God, you're normal. I needed this." Made my week......

Since my working career ended several years ago, I'm a fixed-income guy now. I'm as average as they come.....or.....uhhh....cum.

Among the resources available to us, RM reviews provide another set of data which may be helpful in making a go/no-go decision on a provider. My opinion, they have the proximate value of fools' gold.

I visit Vegas and hire while I'm there as much as anywhere I travel. I usually import company. I like to gamble, and while it's fun to enjoy a table together, I usually don't care nor expect a companion to hang around bored. In general, providers have little interest in and even less knowledge of casino table games. But if I ask him to play a table game along side me, then I set him up.

It took Delta CS six weeks to sort out the mess they made of my account and flight credits.

I haven't noticed that annoyance

I have experienced the annoying increase of interruptions too, which randomly launches the play store app often on my android phone.
