Kindness can never be overrated - who is the kindest?

Your Hunk (Nate in Long Beach)

His attention and generosity of spirit (kindness) were instrumental to my happily coming out at 70+ without losing my family. He kindly took an interest in me that included personal counseling, tough honesty and just heart felt philosophical discussions. The sex is good. But soon is over. In the way he treats me he is K I N D.

I'm not even being rude, nor is it my intention. I don't get the gist of the thread, in terms of kindness. An escort would welcome a client and treat them well due to wanting money. Maybe it's just me - but I don't get the context of kindness here. A restaruant waiter will be "kind" be being pleasant since the owner of the place wants customers and revenue. Maybe that's a cold way of looking at it, but maybe I'm wrong in interpreting this question. 

 

I understand where you're coming from. It might seem like an odd question for me to pose, but to me, kindness is more than pleasantness and politeness.  It goes deeper, and perhaps it is a difficult thing to gauge for a lot of people unless you have met with someone multiple times.

They want money. They have little incentive to be hostile or negative, just like in any other business. 

I'm not sure it can be boiled down to something so one-dimensional.  There are some people in every line of work who do the job only because of money, but for most people, I think there is usually more to it.  Enjoyment of the work, making a difference in the lives of others, and seeing value in a job well-done.  I also think that true kindness will carry over into an individual's personal life, and vice-versa.

In any customer service, I think of kindness as among the things that can distinguish "merely good/fine" from "truly excellent/memorable" so I don't think it's irrelevant (or entirely mercenary). 

And it is a feature I notice and value when hiring.

Some gents whose kindness has impressed me include:
Tristan Baldwin
James DuMont
Ryan Chambers
AlexanderMullerr
RomanLA

I came late to this thread :( so I am not the first to give a kindness prize to 

                 Tristan Baldwin 

                 Peter Hung 

                 Mike Gaite 

But I'd also give a shout-out to A.J. Irons, Dave of SF, Ryan Chambers, Brian Strowkes, Kiddo (NYC)

I would also agree with Tristan Baldwin and AJ Irons!  Both are by far the kindest gentlemen I have met.

In my experience, these are among the kindest guys. I would also say that this feels correlated to whether or not the providers seem to enjoy their work. E.g. they really like people, they really enjoy sex, and they tend to have a lot of varied interests. For me, those include: 

Jonah Wheeler

Dominus

Mike Gaite

NY Wolfman

MrSensual on RentMasseur

Definitely agree. You need to truly enjoy the work and enjoy the people you meet through doing it. If you don’t enjoy it then it’s easily apparent to your client. At its essence the work requires kindness and humanity, it should never be purely transactional (although of course there’s a transactional element to it).

When I stop enjoying doing this kind of work I’ll stop.

I was stating my opinion. We all hold the right to do this. Accept my right to do such. Since I’m a human like you apparently. That’s a right for everyone and unlike you I know what everybody means. 

As I mentioned in a previous reply to you:  

Our conversation here seems to reinforce the fact that everyone has their own priorities when it comes to relationships - even those relationships that may be more transactional in nature.  It's always good to hear others' points of view, in my opinion. 

So... no argument here about everyone's right to their own opinions.

Then don't bully people for posting negative opinions on providers, when you do and everybody has the right to complain. and? lool. don;t get offended when people use spaces that are open to all. 

We evidently have a different idea about what a bully is, as well.  Nothing you have written has offended me in any way because we are all free to express our ideas and should be able to without judgement or name-calling.  ;)

Yeah. He thinks disagreeing with him and calling him out for being very nasty about providers is “bullying.” 🙄

you and your friend are bullies. do you stop people you "don't like" from entering supermarkets, or other public spaces? tha'ts not your place. If anybody leaves an opinion, feel your face blank and control your input, unless it's something directly harshly at you. simple. tha'ts what most adults do. I don't care what peple post here. if it's bad i ignore them, or let the mods do their job and address it. 

No, I have never tried to stop anyone from entering a supermarket.

I guess everyone has their own definition for what constitutes bullying.  I think this may be the first time in my life I have been called a bully.

A person's actions can be "welcoming," "pleasant," or treat a customer well because the person is obsequious, desperate for money, operating from a "script", gritting their teeth to play a role, a decent actor, or even a sociopath -- all of those are personality traits or personal motivations/qualities that simply don't include being kind.  Kindness includes a sense of the person's motivation and ability to connect with another as experienced by the other person..

[But we all need to be careful, the biggest sociopaths can be great actors and easily convince someone their motivations are pure and admirable.  😉   ]
