4/16 Review of Rod Hagen

[marylander1940]

And the negative side of things as I saw it was seeker630's full wine glass illustration was more for Barefoot Cellars NV Red Wine than for an 1986 Opus I. But, of course, you didn't recognize my jovial response in that way. You needed to justify the enigmatic illustration with a more eccentric reference a la Señor Ortega y Gasset, a man in the realm of Kant and Nietzsche yet in the grave these past 57 years. (Sarcasm! Eccentric enough?)Not I, sir. I am NOT, repeat NOT, requesting further information from a MAN who thinks he should end a session and DOESN'T. Nor from a MAN who writes a less than mediocre review of a well-reviewed and beloved escort, even if it was an awkward session. Maybe saying, there was no chemistry. Even saying, "He didn't make my dick hard." But what he wrote? No. I need no further from him.

 

As to your lumping me in with your desires for more information, I'm chalking that one up to the vagaries of presbyopia, eccentricity and voyeurism. Because I certainly did not express any desire for any more information.

 

For goodness sakes, HIRE ROD HAGEN and find out for yourself!

 

LOL!

 

I do want more information, and please don't drink too much coffee before posting a reply to my comments.

I usually hire younger guys, Rod wouldn't be my type at all.

I'd like to be counted as appreciating the review, no matter how inadequate it may have been. I really wish there was a little more information about what went wrong, but something is better than nothing.

 

Further, I think this negative review is still a net win for Rod. You can tell a great deal about an escort from their response to a negative review, and Rod's response is a textbook example of humility and professionalism. With the overwhelming number of positive reviews, this one mildly negative review is unlikely to scare anyone away, and in my mind adds a little credibility to Rod and the whole review process.

 

I'm with Corndog. Despite the flaws in the review (lack of detail), I'm glad it was posted. AND ... Rod's response, in my book, makes it a net gain for him for how classy his response is. Makes me want meet this man all the more!

Absolutely! In fact I demand it. Restaurants have small wine glasses they insist on filling to the absolute rim with wine. If I'm ever in that situation I ask for a second and even a third glass. Part of the wine experience is the ability to swirl the wine in the glass, to capture the aromas coming off the wine in the bulb of the glass. Big Red Wines need Big Bulbed wine glasses.

 

As to sizzlingrice's review, I consider the source. He' doesn't have the ability to end the session even when I thinks he should and he's with a well-reviewed escort. Sounds to me the chemistry is sizzlingrice's fault as much as Rod's and sometimes that just happens. To each his own, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Don't eat the vanilla when you wanted chocolate and then bitch about it.

I'd prefer some nice white rice and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with that please.

 

Obviously I picked a VERY poor metaphor - and I do know about the proper way to 'fill' a wine glass, but I also know that occasionally I get a glass that has less in it than is optimal.

 

But I still take issue with your 'glass half empty' charge - if you pay for a 'full' glass, you have the right to expect what you ordered.

the main escort he didnt like was Lars, formerly of NYC and now back in Berlin, for not remaining hard.

 

 

 

Do you mean Lars is banished to Berlin because he couldn't remain hard? Sorry. Couldn't resist. Sometimes you can have fun with misplaced modifiers.

 

Yes modifiers are fun. I'm not sure this is misplaced as much as awkward. It's obvious that the phrase 'formerly of ....' is a parenthetical element of the sentence. And the phrase, ' for not being hard' occurs after a comma. Definitively if it had been an essential modifier of 'formerly... Berlin' then there would have been no comma. As that info would have been essential to know- since there was a comma, it couldn't obviously have referred to it- leaving Lars as the person it obviously modifies.

 

You certainly can have fun with modifiers too. I had fun with Lars' modifier, which indeed got hard, and he certainly had fun with mine. I don't think that's why he's in Berlin. I heard it's because he couldn't re-enter this country after a visit to the homeland. A shame. No one could say "Do you vant me to fook you?" as hotly as Lars could.

 

 

I'd be very careful of Lars' modifier, dangling or not, as he is a well-known barebacker.
