Indulge me…Me the best or are you the best?

[Vincent_Michael]

Someone said I was the best cover boy of the day about a week ago but reflecting as I always do I must say that I don’t think I am the best of anything and that is for certain in escorting that being said this is a good question to ask our self’s…Who is the best?

 

I don’t think anyone is the best or better than the other in escorting because sometimes I think maybe there is someone who does not get the lime light and it appears to all of us that he may be a simple escort yet he very well may be the cream of the crop. Now what am I trying to say with this? I am trying to instill a sense of humility in escorts everywhere….What makes one person great is nothing more than that of chance and what you do with that split moment of opportunity.

 

I have noticed with a few escorts how they qualify how they are the best of escorting or why there a pro at being an escort but everything I have heard is totally of the wall…not to mention some of these escorts lack total perspective and think there royalty! I try to keep my self humble at all times and though that might not be the best attribute at times I know, it does help me to reflect and grow in life.

 

Just a thought and a tangent…

"I am trying to instill a sense of humility in escorts everywhere…."

 

It's a tough job. Glad you were picked for it instead of someone else!

Thats funny, this is the same question I ask all the time. Whenever you read "This guy gives the best massage ever!" What does that mean? Sometimes it's said about me, sometimes about other people. Either way, it's all relative.

 

I've seen guys proclaimed "The Best" that I myself have seen and completely disagree. I've also seen guys ignored that I thought were fantastic. Everything from body type to price to dick size to whether the guy smiled enough play into it.

 

I've learned to take all reviews, including my own, with a grain of salt. What you really want to get from a series of reviews is a sense that this person is good, and isn't going to rip you off or hurt you. Outside of that, every client is going to have a different experience, it's just part of human nature.

"Best" implies that there is some agreed-upon way of measuring one escort against another. But one man's "best" might do nothing at all for another guy. "Best" is purely in the eye of the beholder, like beauty.

 

We should each simply strive to be as good as we can at whatever it is we do and be satisfied with that.

I couldn't agree more with you. For those things that have reliable, definable, measureable criteria, its probably pretty simple to decide whats good, whats bad, whats better, whats best.

 

In the case of escorts, though, even we, the clients, can't always agree on what makes a great encounter (evidenced by SO many mixed reviews).

 

Among the types of escorts that appeal to me personally, I have my favorites and my "must-see at least once again" guys, but clearly, I don't harbor any illusions that these guys are the best. They just happen to do an exceptional job of making ME feel great and that's enough for me.

 

Michael, your posting is admirable, but I don't believe for one minute that YOU will be able to instill humility in someone. That usually comes with experience, most notably, the less than good experiences that tend to humble us.

 

And far as some escorts believing that they are royalty, etc., well I wonder how much of that is their personal fantasy or the result of feedback they've received from clients? Or a combination of both?

 

But, Michael, I understand where you're coming from. I think. I don't for one minute subscribe to the notion that just because an escort travels in first class, that he is automatically a first class person. It neither equates nor computes.

I have to agree with all of you guys. The term best is absolute yet impossible to prove. Best, or worst for that matter, is in the eyes of the beholder. If instead one says for example -- one of best I've ever experienced -- now that has meaning. The reader knows that the writer is speaking for himself and is qualifying his statement. The crazy thing is that, for me anyway, something may be the best one day and not so best the next.

[Rick Munroe]

I'm confused by Vinnie's post. Saying someone is the best Coverboy of the Day is not the same as saying they are the best escort (that title is mine alone) (kidding). That's like comparing someone's opinion that a Rolling Stone cover photo of Madonna by Annie Liebowitz is the best cover of Rolling Stone with someone saying that Madonna is the best singer ever. The two are separate discussions, right?

[Rick Munroe]

>I've learned to take all reviews, including my own, with a

>grain of salt.

 

But Jake, what about people with high blood pressure who are on a sodium-free diet?

[HotdadENYC]

Rick, you have a good point. I think that Michael tends to indulge in the "stream of consciousness" method of writing, made famous by Joyce so many years ago, and he (Michael that is) often posts without making any attempt to link the various thoughts into one cohesive posting.

 

I suppose one could argue that a poster who can't spell, ignores the rules of grammar and waxes emotionally about things that might not be worth the waxing shouldn't merit much in the way of responses.

 

One might also argue that this is all part of a downstream marketing attempt that plays on sympathy and supposed innocence.

 

And those arguments might be valid. I can't vouch one way or the other, but I often think about it. I just read Michael's postings and pick out what I think is appropriate and respond if I feel like it.

 

Personally, I don't know what "makes me feel like it." I've responded strongly (both negatively and positively) to some excellent postings by you (Rick) as well as others. This is, after all, the forum to post your opinions, right?

 

What I DO appreciate about Rick and a few others, though, is that they don't get too OVERLY emotional in their responses to my responses. They recognize the right to disagree and I would even venture to say, that we often learn more from those who disagree with us than those that just "lick our ass" (literally and figuratively); OK, now I'm rock hard.

 

Coming back on track, I would certainly hope that Michael is a better escort than he is a writer. I'd love to meet him sometime. I was poised to do that in March, but he won't be available. Oh well. I can only say that if we WERE to meet, I might be inclined to listen to screaming and moaning, me the top, he the bottom, but I would also welcome the opportunity to find out, first hand, where Michael's mind is really at.

 

Regards to all,

In my own opinion, which is worth nothing more than that (i.e. my two cents worth....) I feel when a person says "the best ever" they implicity mean "for me, for myself"

 

as another poster used to say:

 

just my two cents worth....

"Best" implies that there is some agreed-upon way of measuring one escort against another. But one man's "best" might do nothing at all for another guy. "Best" is purely in the eye of the beholder, like beauty.

 

True best is in the eyes of the beholder but I have noted that people do change and with that there taste for what they consider the best changes over time so then how can there be a best if that slandered is always in flux. Now on a side note I also say that there are in my opinion allot of escorts who are great yet never get the lime light because of whatever reason…I suppose we could call it fate.

[Vincent_Michael]

Now I am not saying I am the best here Rick I am just saying people do tend to say on the MC who is the best or most admired…for whatever reason. Now I do agree with you that there are different types of escorts and that goes without saying, the old adage different strokes for different folks does ring in true however I am not talking about what people like.

 

What I am talking about is the praise anyone man in this business…now Id say it all boils down to luck.

[Vincent_Michael]

Is this marketing…you could say yes but in this situation I am claiming and screaming that no one is the best including me so I don’t think I am doing a very good job of it here. Now as for posting my feelings…I am only posting things that pertain to the MC but rest assured my feelings are stable and I prefer to reflect allot on life in general and I know it can be a bit much at times but it’s the way it is for me.

[noviceny]

Good for you VM...if ya want to say something and see how it sounds or reads, then do it. No worries and I understand what you are saying.

 

I think that each individual (lets use escorts for this hypothesis) such try to the best that they can, based on what the vbelieves constitutes the best experience. It shows that both the client and the escorts need to have a working set of rules and communications, to fing out what works best for both of them

[HotdadENYC]

I've read and re-read the original postings and I have read and re-read all of the responses, and NOW I am more confused than ever. I thought I knew what was going on, but now I'm not so sure.

 

Michael's attempts to elucidate (i.e. clarify) are as useless as some of the responses (Novice's response comes to mind very quickly).

 

In general, seeds require a place to grow and lots of fertilizer to prosper. In this case, we obviously have one of the former and TOO much of the latter.

 

If someone knows something that I don't and can state the case in point briefly and without confusing embellishment, then I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll just remained "dazed and confused." Won't be the first time for me.

 

Trying, still.....

Michael--

You seem like a nice guy and all, but were you drunk or high when you wrote this? If not, you need to take some basic writing classes. You seem to have trouble communicating in writing...

[Vincent_Michael]

Ahhhh Unicorn Your so loving thanks I will take your comments to heart!

[noviceny]

These questions were formulated after VM was thinking about why some escorts say they/or their services, are the best.

 

 

VM's First Question : Can one escort be the best ?

 

VM's second question : What makes the escort the best ?

 

VM then answers these questions by saying :

 

"I don’t think anyone is the best or better than the other in escorting because sometimes I think maybe there is someone who does not get the lime light and it appears to all of us that he may be a simple escort yet he very well may be the cream of the crop."

 

As for what makes an escort the best, well we've already seen (as per VM) that they cant be "the best" but their are some professional virtues that they want to incorporate in to their work. VM choses to go with humility and gives a short explanation of why "...it does help me to reflect and grow in life."

 

He finishes his work by stating "Just a thought and a tangent…"

 

This should clue us in to the fact that his thinking is a bit tangential, but he wanted to write down and share what he was thinking about. From the tone of his writing, it seemed that he wanted to share and ask for feedback about the questions of "best" etc.

 

That is what I got out of it...interested parties may review Plato's Allegory of the Caves in order to understand the World of Ideals

[noviceny]

BTW I thought the thread has potential

[Txpaytoplay]

Well let's see if I can make sense of this.....:-)

 

VM, first, let me say I do not think you are the best "coverboy" posted....I don't even think that was won of your best pictures I have seen. As for as being the best escort...I must say I do not know for I have never had the pleasure of trying that experience.

 

With that being said, I think it boils down to preference. Tonight is the Academy Awards and many people will be watching to see who gets best of everything and many people will disagree about the outcome because their favorite didn't win. Now, I think there are better actors and movies that were made last year that did not even get nominated. So you see, everyone has different tastes and everyone will not always agree on the accolates that are given out.

 

On another point...yes I agree that certain escorts who visit the boards receive a lot of attention that those who might not do. But I also know many people who hire escorts that do not know about the boards and have awesome experiences. I have been seeing and escort for some time on a monthly basis who does not advertise for personal reasons. He does not wish advertise his business, he did so only through local publications a few years ago, now he has built a clientele and is finishing grad school. I would put my experiences with him up against several of the tops escorts on these boards. What I am trying to say is....not all escorts need the fame, or public accolades to know that they are well liked and respected.

 

As far as your postings go, I think they are pretty good at times and other times I also wonder what king of Kool Aid you have been drinking. But again to quote Big Jake...."it's all relative".

 

Ok that my 2 cents....well....maybe 4 cents worth...LOL

I think that sums it up very well. It's a beautiful sunny day here in Vancouver - aroundn 56 degrees, so I'm off for a run. Perhaps my fogged up brain can sort this all out while I run.... but I'm not sure I'm going to spend very much time on it. Would rather muse about Charles & Camila! Was she the best or was Diana?

The observations are keen and well stated. "Stream of consciousness, "no thought-linking," unbelievable spelling, no "rules of grammar" and "waxes emotionally" all very accurate. No downstream marketing attempth here, though. He types too fast and impulsively! Have observed. He has a wonderful self-depricating manner in person and can laugh hard and genuinely at some of the things he's written. Michael is the real deal. Have had a couple of wonderful overnight experiences with him. Had some "best ever" thoughts about both! We all need to keep enjoying and nurturing Michael. He is a good guy!

The Penultimate Fantasy!

 

Some of the escorts who say they are the best know that they are not. But they say it because it builds the fantasy. And what many of us are selling here is fantasies. If you think that they are successfully stretching into stratospheres of hyperbole, you have never, perhaps, contemplated one of my personal heroes - Phineas Taylar Barnum, old P. T. Barnum himself!

Personally, the first few years I posted here I thought that I was retired for good. Hah! But now those few who gather here, this hallowed band of brothers, these brave souls flying their flags semi-openly and showing their hearts of their undershirt sleeves, can simply look into the archives and see who I really am. So, what good would it do me to get jealous of another escort, even one based in the same town, and let it show here ---- oops, I mean to carve out an image slightly larger than life and then flesh it out here, where all of us like a little flesh that's out and showy, don't we? But, believe me, I am still

The most stupendous, death defying act of its kind that you have ever seen in this or any other dungeon! The penultimate fantasy for the delectition and divertisement of those who love Ursine Daddies! You will not believe your eyes! You will not believe your tits! You might believe your ass!

Oops, sorry, client due in 45 minutes. And, gentlemen, I only take one a day, if that many! Exclusive, I am. }(
