What Did I say Wrong

[wayout]

It always amazes me how some people never get you Max.....

 

Someone very wise (well maybe or maybe not, open to debate I guess) once said "keep in mind that you have no control over how someone will interpret your lines when corresponding online. These message are void of actual emotion." Very true when trying to deal with knowing if someone is joking or very serious.

I was speaking in terms of people following the thread, and actually knowing Max's persona here online. Sometmes it doesnt take rocket science to figure out Sarcasm. But wayout I give you kudos for the best quotting of ME. From now on, I will make my comments even MORE specific...

[gallahadesquire]

I wonder - after the series of questions, the escort might have beena bit frazzled. Also, to the OP: do you indeed hire frequently? Other causes besides " a bad day" might be present.

Whatever the situation, "IT" is always YOUR fault. "I don't like the way you said that" is the same reply I received from Lucca Rugge when I informed him that the "extra" five hundred dollars I had given him to replace the tires on his automobile was a loan, not a gift.

Now robber, I am extremely "surprised" at you.... YOU of all people should know that exchanges of money are ALWAYS gifts, and never Loans..... at least in some peoples eyes.

For shame on you.

I'd send him the following note:

 

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say I've used escorts before. I meant to say I've used AND abused escorts before. Now be ready to lick Daddy's boots...

While it doesn't take rocket science to figure out sarcasm, it certainly can be a challenge to some (maybe many) depending on what is written is subtle (or not), its context, the posters personality, the form, and things like that. Making things a bit more explicit, specific and/or precise can help but there is certainly no guarantees that a person's intentions will be fully understood. I follow most threads but don't pay too much attention to people's persona here as I usually have a few other pressing matters to attend to (no offence intended to Max, just in general).

 

But we digress from the main topic of this thread. I do think it is often the case that what robberbaron4u has said is very true and is human nature to some degree.

You are not applying for school principal, guidance counselor or lead editor for the NY Times. You simply emailed inquiring as to your compatibility where it concerns placing your penis in his a***. Perhaps "use" was not the best choice of words, however, puhleeeeze. Perhaps a Shakespearean like response would be more to his liking? I would simply respond, "LOL you C**t" and move on.

I will don my summer straw and stand in the corner, duly shamed, for fifteen minutes. . .

After that, we can have a cocktail !

[citylaw1]

I can't thank all of you enough for responding and providing encouraging comments. I did respond to the young man with an apology but feel bad if he thinks I'm some sort of evil person. Unfortunately as you might be aware it's difficult to find escorts in this area so someone who appears to be a class act is always welcome. I thank you all again and will move on to others. best, rocky

 

Ugh...

[RockHard]

I've been someone who is a bit awkward and asks strange question

 

Asking strange questions is not the same thing as being misunderstood.

 

The verb use has multiple meanings. On one hand it can mean to employ for a service, while on the other hand it can mean to exploit; to take advantage of. This verb is tricky because these two meanings offer conflict; one is positive and the other negative. And unless a reader is absolutely sure of the context and the intent, interpretation can go wrong.

 

This is a common error in writing, often with simple words. Your escort would have been gracious to give you the benefit of any doubt. Some escorts like to believe that they live and work from a throne. I suggest you go Tanya Harding on the bitch-queen's kneecap, and then let's see how she feels about your writing skills.

Personally I always am a bit relieved to hear from potential clients that they hire frequently.

[Racketjock]

Jawjateck, ever the genteel southern gentleman, offers great advice, as always. <Tip my hat, and raise my glass of bourbon to you!>

[jjkrkwood]

OK, maybe I'm missing something here, but isnt it an escorts perrogative to "turn down" a potential client ??? And although it would be the polite thing to do to offer an explanation for the rejection, he really OWES the potential client NOTHING. What is everyones problem with the word NO ?

Girl you need to git wit some Bobby Brown—did you learn nothing from the 80s? It's "prerogative."

Sorry man, I'm not wearing my "genie" pants today...

Did you never watch "the MTV?"

At the end of the day this is a customer service industry, and being a rude c*nt won't take you all that far.

SOCAL I totally Agree with you, but I dont see how the escort was rude. He merely said he didnt like how the clients offer was presented to him, and declined it. no profanity, no sarcasm, just a civil rejection. I dont believe your comment applies in THIS case, and obviously this escort is doing WELL ENUF to turn down clients. ? I dont tolerate rudeness of any sort.

I don't think the escort was rude, just somewhat overly sensitive. It's always the client's prerogative to look elsewhere if he feels like his choice turns out to be a diva.

Well maybe it was his "time of month" ? Emotions run rampant then... cut the guy some slack, he just didnt feel like sucking off some stranger or getting a cock up his ass that day....It happens.

[orbital sander]

I second this sentiment. The escort is being WAY too oversensitive. If someone wrote that to me, it would not even occur to me to be offended.

 

If this is someone you'd still want to see, you could explain you did not mean to be insulting, and that you were nervous. If he can't be sympathetic and cut you slack, you're better off finding out now and moving on to someone else.

 

Amen!

Well said.

[rocky]

Again thanks but I must admit I think his response was not only rude but insulting. I was at first embarrassed that I did something wrong then re read my note and no I didn't. The more I think about it the more I am pissed, sorry about that guys. Here I am reaching out for service and paying and get a crappy note back because I worded something wrong. He was cute but I haven't heard back so guess no loss.

Rocky, you have EVERY right to be mad or upset, but please put things in perspective. You really didnt PAY for anything, and this guy, who doesnt know you from a hole in the wall simply turned down your offer. PERIOD... He has NO obligation to oblige you, nor does he owe you anything, not even an explanation. Yeah it may seem "douchey" on his part but Its best if you just get over it...... NO service provider is BOUND to provide his service to you....
