I find it strange that you know exactly how many times you saw this ASP. If it was 2-3 times I would understand, but 78 is kind of weird. It reminds me of that episode of Friends when Ross is couch shopping and Rachel is with him. The salesperson is surprised that he and Rachel dated and Ross tells him that they did it 298 times. Rachel was a little werided out that he kept track, I guess I feel a little like Rachel did. I also agree that you should not post her picture here. If she is retired and removed herself from social media and all platforms I don't think she would appreciate you posting her picture here especially if you don't have her premission. Even if you did have her blessing what would you want to accomplish by posting her picture here? So you can show her off, and we can judge her and your taste? That is a little weird to me as well. But I give you credit for contributing something new to the conversation.

I had a girlfriend named Dawn, her dad's name is Don. He told me he wanted a boy so he could name him Don jr, but when he had a girl he still named her after himself but used the girl spelling. Then he had another daughter and no son. (I can't remember what Dawn's sisters name was) I didn't date but I had a huge crush on a girl named Andy. (With a y not an I) I also got beat up once by a boy named Sue. He really had anger issues.

I have noticed that 99.999% of your posts are the same. J/K, I appreciate that you want to offer advice to new clients. To the OP I personally feel much more comfortable with Incalls. If I do an Outcall it's when I am not at home, and I am in a hotel. But you never let us know what your issues are that have you nervous to pull the trigger. You mentioned your issues are obvious, but I guess make a pro/con list for Incall vs Outcall and go with the one that has more pros.

Some providers do not want reviews, or they would like reviews on certain sites. Usually when I am leaving I will ask the provider if she would like a review, and what site(s) she would like it on. I've joined a couple of sites just so I can submit a review. I would not put too much stock in TER reviews. I personally won't submit a review there. I have had reviews rejected because I was not explicit enough. This I believe causes some clients to exaggerate. Also I think every review should be thought of as YMMV. You can't expect her "playbook" to be the same for you as it was for someone else. I am curious, I know some providers that don't use hotels at all. They rent an apartment or townhome for incalls. What do you think of providers who do this? Do you think it's not safe? (For the provider and the client) I have also met providers because they were recommended to me by another provider that I have seen. What do you think of this? It sounds like you have found a system that works for you, and that's great. But I don't think anything is fool proof 100%, (or 99.999%) and there are nuances that don't fall into your "boxes".

I can't help but think of Jerry Seinfeld when I read the name of this topic. ("What's the deal with hair extensions") I'm neutrel when it comes to hair extensions. I never intentionally touch a provider's hair so if it looks good to the provider, then it's good for me.

I think you misunderstood, @Audrey Astor said it was inappropriate for the provider to have a boyfriend or husband outside waiting. Then she asked why you brought it up i.e. did this happen to you?

Please don't tell me you are alternating between vanginal and anal sex and vice versa. There are some serious health issues if you do that. (I can't imagine a provider would allow you to do that) Are you changing condoms when you are alternating?

I want your DOR Mayo-naise. RIP LGJ

I admit my ignorance when it comes to the provider side of the hobby. So I might be wrong about this, but do different sites have different criteria to place ads? From what I understand, TOB has many requirements to place ads here. If a site had little to no criteria to post ads I could see more unprofessional providers posting ads there. While there might be bad apples on all sites, i could see a site having more then others if they have little or no standards. I am not saying STG is like this, I'm speaking generally. A little off topic regarding drunk clients. I understand and agree with a ASP not wanting to continue an appointment with an inebreated client. And I think it's fair that they should be paid for their time and effort. (Especially if they made a trip to the clients residence) But what I don't condone is if the ASP takes posessions. Reading the thread that was mentioned and that is not okay. Maybe if the client has no money he might offer something in exchange for the ASP's trouble, but taking something without his knowledge is theft. I remember the first time I hobbied it was an Outcall at my place. Due to a misunderstanding I did not have enough cash to cover the YL's rate. Unknown to me she took a large glass egg that belonged to my parents. You would not believe what I went through to get that thing back!

I agree that social skills are found less and less. But I think it started way before the Covid shutdowns. I think once social media and smart phones became popular is when it started. And with A.I. it will be even less. I think it's funny that we still use the universal sign for a phone to mean call me. (The hang loose sign with your thumb by your ear and your pinky by your mouth) When really we should make two thumbs up signs with our hands close together and tap our thumbs against the top of our fists. This would be the universal sign for Text Me.

I can vouch for Lily, I have seen her and she is ligit and very sweet. I tried to write a review but it was declined. (Because of lack of details) I booked Lily thru P411 and mentioned her ad on Tryst. (She had rates for longer appointments on her Tryst ad) I think maybe the OP contacted a different ASP back in 2021.

That's interesting I never noticed that. I don't really read my reviews after I post them. What gets edited? Is it to make the review more R rated instead of XXX? Or do negative comments get edited so the review is not too harsh?

Not necessarily, she could have used Google Translate. Not trying to be a white knight, I just didn't want to jump to any conclusions. It does make me wonder, I'm too lazy to do the research. But I wonder if there are rebuttals for positive reviews. I guess @skinnydud most recent review is not that bad (Yes for experience and Maybe for recommend) and it has a rebuttal.

According to a co-worker the NFL is rigged for the 49ers to win. I think he is just a disgruntled Packers fan, but it did make me think. I'm sure I have heard whispers of the NFL being rigged before, but it has really increased in the last few years. I have heard all levels of rigging. From the NFL telling the refs "We really want team A to win. Make it happen" To players throwing games. And the highest level is everything is pre-determined and scripted like pro wrestling. I can imagine a group of NFL executives saying: "Fans are sick of the Patriots, we need a new dynasty. What team has not won for a while with a strong fan base?" "How about the Chiefs?" "Let's do it" Now it might be a coincidence, but this has seemed to increase since the 2020 presidential election. I hope I'm not opening a can or worms, but it really seems like some people question the legitimacy of everything now. It could be true that the NFL is rigged and if it is I don't want to know. (Ignorance is bliss) I like watching sports and believing it's all legit, and I will continue to do that. But if it's true the NFL is rigged it would explain the Broncos getting blown out in the Super Bowl three times in the 80's.

I have noticed a trend lately. (For myself) When I see a provider who's In Call is at a hotel, I usually arrive five minutes early and text that I have arrived and ask for the room number. I assume it will take me a few minutes to walk to the room and I can arrive right at the scheduled time. But lately I won't receive a text back until 5-10 minutes after the scheduled start time. Then by the time I get to the room it is already 10-15 minutes into the schduled start time. Then I am told my time is up, but when I look at my phone I still have 5-10 minutes before the scheduled end time. I usually book 2 hour appointments, but after the time shaving at the start and the end I only end up spending about an hour and forty to hour and forty five minutes with the provider. I also wondered if the time starts when I walk in the door, but it does not appear to be the case anymore. Is two hous too long? Is that the reason for the time shaving? Maybe I should book 1 hour appointments. Has this happened recently to anyone who books 30-60 minute appointments? It could be me also, I'm pretty mid. I'm sure there are probably other clients providers would rather spend time with. But i feel if I book two hours I should spend two hours with the provider. Now if I am late and I don't let the provider know, then I fully expect that appointment to end at the schduled time. It use to happen frequently that the provider and I were having fun, we both lost track of the time and I accidentally over stayed by a few minutes. That rarely happens to me anymore.

Before Barry Sanders, the Lions had another good running back named Billy Sims. Detroit has had a couple of BS running backs. I like to root for teams who have never won a championship or has not won one for a long time. My favourite pro team has not won a championship for a very long time, since before I was born. So I know what it's like to be a struggling fan. So many teams last year won their first ever championships. Nuggets, Golden Knights and the Rangers. It makes me wonder when will it be my turn? So how things are going I would not be surprised if the Lions win the Super Bowl. (Or I should say the "Big Game". I don't want to violate TM laws.) I would not be upset if the Lions win. I would just be a little jealous. Personally I'm pulling for San Fran since the Broncos are not playing.

Happy holidays to everyone whatever holiday you celebrate. I think Festivus was yesterday, (12/23) I'm not sure when Kwanzaa starts.

You really enjoy circular aruments don't you. I envision when you were a kid you had an arument that went like this: "You are" "No you are" And this went on for hours. I guess I will need to play my trump card. The stores will re-open x Infinity. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with this thread, why you keep it going. @sparkey600 tried to end it weeks ago, but you wanted to keep it going with your snarky comment. But we are responding to your response so it's kind of a chicken egg thing. You don't need to respond, but you must have the last word don't you? And that response is usually just the same thing. Imagine this is the last post on this thread. The thought is gnawing at you isn't it. Well you can have the last word, you "win".

Okay so you know (not think or believe) that every non union worker in the US has integrity while all union workers in the US do not. (Grifter vs. non grifter) I don't mean to use a straw man so correct me if I am wrong but I don't know how you could possibly know that. If your job does not have a union your are this, if your job has a union you are that. No nuance, no exceptions. That sounds like a buffoon way of thinking. No way someone could be union nuetral and accepted a position for other reasons. A union is a deal maker/breaker for all US workers? As far as Iceland goes, I'm sure if it was 91% non union you would say something about even in Iceland they root out grifters. So you can dismiss anything that does not fit your narrative. But I brought it up because you mentioned unions everywhere. And many countries outside of the US have a very strong union presence. So you would be waiting a very long time for all unions everywhere to dissipate. Hear me now and believe me later, but I believe (I won't say know because I don't presume like you) that depending on who wins the election in November 2024 the pecentage of union workers in the US will increase. I'm not putting a number on it. (like you would) If it does not increase in three years you can quote this and I will eat crow. But unless someone brings something new to the table I am done with this thread. I'm bored with it and it is mundane and repetative at this point. It's an interesting topic but only with someone who would actually contribute something interesting to the conversation. One last thing, when you type LOL are you really laughing out loud? I know that the connotation is that what I posted is so ridiculous that you bursted out laughing. But I can't help but imagine Louis Skolnick typing on his computer when I see you post that. UDS US workers 10% union and growing. Iceland 91% union and rising

Blah blah blah. You are incorrect, Are you moving the goal posts now? I thought you did not support unions in the world. (This would include Iceland) UDS US workers 10% union and growing. Iceland 91% union and rising

They will open again. UDS US union workers 10% and growing. Iceland 91% union and rising

But you do believe that every single non union US worker hates unions. That makes sense. UDS US union workers 10% and growing. Iceland 91% union and rising

I would not say it was a waste of time. I did some research and learned some things about unions and union busting. You should try it sometime. That's a joke, I know your UDS will prevent you from doing that. But you are correct it is a waste of time to have a meaningful dialogue with you about unions. US union workers 10% and growing, Iceland 91% union and rising.

The top 75% was a joke, hence I said it was a "Office" reference. The reason I asked is because Google is union. (Alphabet Workers Union) Let me guess Google is going to be shut down soon. Do you live in Denver? Then you probably use Xcel Energy to power your computer that you are using to Google. Xcel in also union, and so is Denver Water. Are you sending gifts/cards for Xmas? Well don't use USPS or UPS both union. Maybe you are going to travel for the holidays? Airline, train, and buses are all union. So I guess you will have to drive. Don't fill up at Phillips 66 or Chevron both union. Going to buy groceries? King Soopers and Safeway are both union. It's almost as if you rely on the slugs, grifters and leaches that you dislike so much. (Unless you get your electrictiy from a lemon, and you live next to running water.) Those are off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more. I think you will say all of these would run much better if they were non-union. (With no facts or data to back up your opinion) I looked up the same Consumer Report you listed and there are actually 28 brands. So Ford did a little better then you indicated. Consumer Reports auto reliability: Top cars, trucks, SUVs for 2022 (usatoday.com) I'll give you Lincoln which came in 28th, but Tesla came in 27th. Tesla is famously 100% union free, why did they come in 27th? Because the are not union. (Using your logic) @gr8owl you stole my thunder I was going to mention the Ford F-150 is the best selling truck. So that must mean they are the best right? (See the logical fallacy?) If you had read that Starbucks article you linked beyond the headline it said in that article that the case was going to court. But it is a good example why there is a decline in unions in the USA. How many of that 90% non union workers tried to start a union and were not successful. You are over simplfying when you say the only reason a job is not union is because they don't want a union. America does not hate unions, corporate America hates unions. The rules are already stacked against unions, and companies are given very little consequences for the illegal tactics they use to bust unions. Yes those Starbucks will probably re-open and they will be required to re-hire the employees and pay them back pay for the time they missed while the stores were closed. Minus any income they received while not working at Starbucks. So not much of a penalty, but this is a common union busting tecnique. Starbucks knew this would happen but the point was not to close the store permanently. It was to scare the employees and dissuade others from organizing. But when you said it was good news that hundreds of people were out of work, I did not agree with that. Companies Will Do Almost Anything to Stop Workers Unionizing | TIME So now you want to eliminate all unions in the world? That got me curious about unions in other countries. Countries with highest share of unionized workers worldwide | Statista It appears that a lot of the world disagrees with you. It is an economic fact that when unions are strong, it improves the economy. So here are the GDPs per capita. GDP per capita, by country 2022 | Statista So interestingly Iceland which is 91% union is right behind the USA in GDP per capita. The bottom of the list of union countries are Venzuela, Myanmar, Haiti and Saint Lucia. Are these economies we want to emulate? I'm not saying all jobs should be union but having some are actually a good thing. When this thread started your attitude was "To each their own but I think this" and you seemed resonable. Then you went full throttle on the anti-union rhetoric and started name calling union workers. (That was when I started to get irked) Now you have just become a caricature of yourself. Ignoring what others have posted, and making unsubstantiated claims. For the most part your evidence has been anecdotal at best, or made up at worst. And the most frustrating part for me is you keep saying the same things over and over. You sound like a broken record. Wait you might not understand that reference. You sound like a Tik Tok on an endless loop. I'm not even a union guy but your rhetoric is making more into one. You are in your anti union bubble and won't listen or try to understand the other side. It's like you have Union Derrangement Syndrome, or UDS. So I understand a little bit better where you are coming from. I'm sure you have stopped reading by now this is way more than 280 characters. And you will respond for me to use brevity. But I did not even go into the real reasons unions have declined in the USA. But I decided not to because it would be a waste of time. Your UDS would kick in and you would just either not acknowledge it or just dismiss it. Well I'm going to go watch the game now, oh wait player unions! Maybe I'll watch TV or a movie instead, oh no SAG-AFTRA and WAG. On second thought I think I'll just go to bed.

So Ford is in the top 75%. (That is an "Office" reference) How did you find this report?
