Charging By The Pound?

[VaHawk]

I can see your logic, but I don't see how it relates to a client/escort encounter.

 

Fair housing is an act of law passed by Congress that deals with the fair right of all applicants to pursue legally sanctioned pursuits. I don't know of any fair escorting act, and if escorting (and I'm referring to acts of prostitution) were a legitimate, regulated business, then you might have a point.

 

But you are dealing with individuals who are engaged in illegal activities, and thus not subjected to any kind of legislative fairness. As such, you either accept or decline the terms of the seller and really have a moot point about the results of your "experiment", as evidenced by the replies to your thread.

 

What next little "experiment" are you going to conduct? Perhaps street drug dealing? Are you going to complain that the Ricans sell drugs to their homeys cheaper than they sell it to some business suited white man?

 

Do whatever you personally feel is right to conduct your "experiments" as that is certainly your prerogative, but I, for one am not going to buy into your "fair play for fair pay" arguement about illegal activities. This is one area where you either "take it or leave it".

VAHAWK I think we're closer now. That is exactly my point. Escorts claim that they run a legit business, pay taxes and follow the laws. If this is true I believe you can appreciate what I am concerned about. It's outright discrimination.

 

Is escorting in the US legit? Well that is for a different thread. But when one takes for granted it is then they should stay within the anti-discrimination laws.

Thanks for the idea,

I have to agree with Aces on this. The escorts who post here are constantly telling us that we should look at what they do as a business like any other, not a sleazy criminal enterprise. Fine. But did you ever notice how quick they are to object when a client judges their conduct by the same standards that are applied to other businesses? We are told it's fine for escorts to discriminate on the basis of race because escorting is "different." We are told it's wrong for clients to try to negotiate prices as they do in other businesses because escorting is "different." We are told it's unreasonable for clients to expect escorts to be truthful in their ads because escorting is "different." It seems to me that the only respect in which escorting is not "different" from other businesses is that escorts want to be paid in full and on time, because that is how it's done in other businesses.

There are very few escorts who post here, and I have never (let alone "constantly") made the above statement. Gee, could woodlawn be exaggerating and lying yet again? :o

Well, Rick, a couple of things. First, I would consider it more than a little ridiculous to get a lecture on truthfulness from a prostitute who knowingly takes money to help married men deceive and betray their wives. I can only assume that any comments from you on the importance of being truthful are an example of your famous sense of humor.

 

Second, if it makes you feel better I will withdraw the implication that you agree we should look at what escorts do as a business like any other, not a sleazy criminal enterprise. Instead, I will count you among those who think we should look at escorting as a sleazy criminal enterprise. Happy now?

That is one of the stupidest arguments I have ever read in this message center. It doesn't even merit disection and further comment.

One really has to wonder why Woody frequents this board.

I have to politely disagree with you Rick. There have been many escorts who have posted over the years here but few with the frequency such as you.

 

It might have been better if Woodlawn started his statement in a more generic way however, I believe him to be right on the mark this time.

 

Many of the escorts who have posted on the above topic and several high profile client posters maintain a double standard on the business of escorting. I am not stating that you are one of these escorts.

 

Woodlawn properly points this double standard out.

I didn't know we were including the Escort Travels section. If so, yes, you're right, there've been lots of 'em.

But it wouldn't be woodlawn if he didn't exaggerate and generalize. That's what we've come to expect and he never disappoints.

You've obviously never read any of woodlawn's previous posts.

[woodlawn]

Yeah? How does it compare with your post about being spanked by Tom Cruise?

 

 

>You've obviously never read any of woodlawn's previous posts.

 

Well, Rick, since you often start threads about such serious and weighty subjects as your propensity for getting an erection when you see men with big hands, you are clearly the right person to criticize others for writing stupid and frivolous posts. Since you never, ever write such posts yourself.

Gosh, Rick, I am so surprised that you have simply chosen to ignore all of Daddy's admonitions to respond to the post rather than criticize the poster. Don't you care enough about him and Hooboy to respect their wishes on how posters should conduct themselves here? And after all the free advertising they've given you -- I'm shocked by your ingratitude!

 

I'm not shocked that you've chosen to focus on me rather than address the perfectly valid point Aces made, however. That's typical of you.

Well to start with Woody - you're out to lunch yet again. I was commenting on what I percieved to be the stupidity of your argument, which is entirely different from my comment about being spanked by Tom Cruise, which is not an argument but either a fantasy or a bit of humour, (or both) depending on one's mood of the moment.

 

As you would appear to be entirely lacking in a sense of humour you are excused for not seeing the joke. And as your ability to understand an erotic fantasy - I guess you are equally challenged there too. I really wonder why you bother to hang out around this board, as you seem to enjoy so little.

I know. But you didn't explain why there is anything wrong with it. I really don't think you can.

 

>which is entirely different from my comment about

>being spanked by Tom Cruise, which is not an argument but

>either a fantasy or a bit of humour, (or both) depending on

I would characterize it as a pathetic comment on the lack of anything real in your life.

 

>As you would appear to be entirely lacking in a sense of

So many people here are like the guy who thinks that any woman not attracted to him must be a lesbian. They think that anyone who doesn't find their jokes funny must not have a sense of humor. It never seems to occur to them that they just don't have the wit to come up with jokes that others enjoy.

 

> I really wonder why you bother

>to hang out around this board, as you seem to enjoy so little.

 

Whatever my reason for being here, it sure as hell isn't to get a lecture on truthfulness from someone who makes a business out of deceit and betrayal. I don't want to hear a lecture on good sportsmanship from Bobby Knight, I don't want to hear a lecture on marital fidelity from Bill Clinton or Kobe Bryant, and I definitely don't want to hear a lecture on the importance of telling the truth from Rick Munroe.

Woody my dear - you should hear what I call you when describing you to my friends!

 

But never mind all that.... Now I get it and I hope Rick does too.

 

You think you walk on water!

Is it possible your existence is so empty that you have nothing better to do in the real world than talk to people about some anonymous stranger you encounter on a message board? That's hard to believe, but if you insist it's true I will believe you.

 

>But never mind all that.... Now I get it and I hope Rick does

Walking on water is not too hard, once you get the hang of it. It's a hell of a lot easier than keeping a straight face while someone like Rick Munroe berates Four Aces for being untruthful. I haven't yet mastered that skill and I don't know if I ever will.
