COMPETING AGAINST THE YOUNG

[+ quoththeraven]

I also like others reject the premise of the original post. Clients are not in competition with each other. I don't do anything in particular to appeal to escorts other than things I would do as a matter of course for anyone: be respectful, hygienic and not an asshole.

[marylander1940]

No, absolutely not. I was responding to @marylander1940.

 

Exactly, my whole point!

[Ryan Roman]

It is a thing..since I am in my 30s..I have actually had a couple of escorts tell me what a relief it was to not have an older client for once. But whether they actively discriminate against older clients, I don't know. I suspect one did...he told me that he chose me over another client after I sent my picture and I was younger.

 

But I think the real professionals like Benjamin, Greg and others view all clients as great guys and welcome making connections with many types of men. I actually appreciate that Mike Gaite and others advertise that specifically.

 

Most if my clients are older than me and that's never been an issue. I've only had a few clients my age or younger. "age ain't nothin' but a number."

Buying property better be for everyone who wants to have a solid foothold in a desireable american city. Nyc and san fran are pretty much unaffordable if you are not wealthy and very successful. Equity in a home is equity in your life. All those years paying rent just builds someone elses dreams.

 

As a small landlord I would never use the words "dreams" to describe it ( I have 8 toilets to plunge), even though I've done ok in DC which is NYC levels. How the hell people do it in slower markets I don't understand except there are fewer other avenues to wealth accumulation there. But nothing dreamy about being a landlord. It can be a nuisance and a money pit.

Years ago I had a chance to manage a small apartment building, have a free apartment, and continue with my current job. I agree because one of tenants was someone I really liked, but did not know well.

 

I did becomes friends with that tenant, but some of maintenance issues were easy, but not all. And I did not have the ability to do much of the maintenance myself. And I certainly tried. So enjoy your homeowners rights, but count me out.

for certain ones they are. providers are not as interchangeable as clients.

well, sometimes it matters. I just discovered the "Erection Hardness Scale" https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/erection-hardness-scale.149266/

 

even though younger clients may come faster usually, bisexual providers especially dread the Level IV erection younger guys with endowment who want to try 12 different positions in an hour to roadtest their new viagra. hemorrhoids are career-ending and even serious bruising can put you out of business for a day. the bisexual ones usually prefer the older clients of level I or II who would rather mostly cuddle and do slight oral.

 

of course they are exceptions . my escort friend's brunette twin brother last month attracted a 19-yr old college student who repeated every morning before class to cuddle and kiss for his last week in the US. but that's not the general rule regarding age.

They will lead you right out and then count you out if you are not rent stabilized. Ill take maintaining and repairing my own place over signing a new lease watching rents rise and living with 4 to 5 roommates not cuz i want to but cuz i have to.

I do not nderstand your first sentence. Perhaps it is because I live in Philadelphia where rents are not expensive.

Us cities are being sold out to wealthy foreigners and tech gurus with high incomes. Many middle class professionals(teachers, bookkeepers etc) cant afford to live in parts of nyc unless they are rent stabilized which is likecwinning the lottery or they want to be packed in an apt like sardines. When you buy you lock in a price at that place in time. When you rent you are powerless. You have no say in what happens to your neighborhood. NYC san fran and vancouver are extreme examples. Eventually the same will happen to philadelphia. They will simply displaced ppl with lower incomes and of course sthnic minorities and transplant wealthy ppl. Then there will be starbucks everywhere whole foods 10 dollar kambucha shops. Your city will be void of any real culture and you wont be able to do nothing about it. Homeowners have power in those scenarios Just because a city has international appeal doesnt mean it needs to be an international playground.

There is plenty of cultural in New York City and Philadelphia. I live across from the Barnes Museum and Foundation. The advantage of being a tenant: the ability to move elsewhere without worrying about a decline in property sales.

We may need anoth thread for this soon. I didnt say philly or ny didnt have culture and to me culture is more than museums anyway. Culture is also being able to get soulvaki in an authentic greek neighborhood or jerk chicken in an authentic jamaican neighborhood vs starbucks selling greek wraps or jerk wraps.

 

San francisco to me is becoming void of culture. Wealthy geeks are boring and socially inept. They have also purposely displaced entire neighborhoods for their tech lebensraum. Alot of ethnic minorities and working class ppl did not buy property in san fran so when gentrification came about they didnt benefit from it. All the renovation and revitalization was not going to be for their benefit. Many working class ppl were tricked into selling often not being aware of the true potential market value of their property.

 

The ability to move is great if you live in some po dung town in mississippi but if you live in ny your more concerned about the ability to stay. I can say if you are renting and have no ppans on buying you may well need to eventually have an exit strategy.

The generalization and platitudes in this response are interesting.

 

Culture will never be snuffed out. It will change. It will ebb & flow. You can rally against change, but know that no matter what you do, you will never truly stop what's happening.

[cany10011]

I'm glad I have my own place to come home to, but also the freedom, health, and resources to travel comfortably whenever I want to experience something different. Some friends have been priced out of nyc and have bought homes in Barcelona and Lisbon.

I've always loved Philadelphia as i studied there and really think it is a compact version of new york (with fewer temptations)....

Well, sure we can not stop change. However, it is healthy venting when the change is going in a direction we do not like. I can relate to the boredom of globalization when it means to turn all urban spaces in the same universal shopping center.

Not entirely. I paid off my mortgage 15 years ago so it's no longer a consideration for budgeting. However, my association fee increases almost every year, and my taxes have been on a roller coaster. They jumped up in the boom, went down in the bust, and just last year, an almost 40% increase in property taxes. I guess it depends on where you live. I hear New Jersey has the highest property tax, and Illinois has the 2nd highest after New Jersey.

I prefer culture that feels organic vs culture that feels manufactured ill leave it at that. Yes you can stop change. People with power put moratoriums on change in their neck of the woods all the time. You have to fight for the change you want sitting and accepting certain types of change is self defeating.

What about classical music, Broadway,MOMA, wonderful restaurants in New York City?

 

Most of all, what do you mean by organic, beyond your one example?

That is consumer culture which is a huge part of ny. Organic culture is about the ppl. New York has always had such rich diversity of working class ppl up to the mega billionaires. My gripe is that it feels like they want to scrub the everyday ppl that made ny what it is from ny.

 

San Francisco is sooo boring now i could die. I truly dont get y ppl are killing themself to live there. I just hope ny doesnt turn out like that.
