"Tell me your life story"

I tried that 15 years ago and I am still waiting!

Answer: however many states it is to the the nearest reliable provider.

Maybe one day one of these rich guys with nothing to lose will stand up and say "Yup, I see sex workers, they are wonderful people". And this will slowly become less stigmatized. (I say he has nothing to lose since the secret is already out)

Winding back several tangents... The best security is to make a DIFFERENT USER on your computer. Both Windows and MacOS allow you to easily create different users. This way you have totally separate browsing history, email, etc. Keep it 100% separate. Now if you have a wife or someone who regularly uses your computer, they will notice when the new "Mr Horny" user shows up on the login screen. But if they usually don't use your computer, you can name the user "Joe" and say "oh that was my cousin who came to visit last year". You can also disable that user when you're not using it, and it should disappear from the login screen. Security is easy if you keep it all separate ... separate user, separate phone, separate email, separate facebook, etc. Zero connections.

It always seems weird to me that both clients and providers use the term "clean" in a vague manner when it has two completely different meanings: "Not dirty" or "No STIs". One does not imply the other. Someone can be fresh out of the shower and carrying some nasty invisible cooties or can be smelly and filthy and have zero STIs.

Take a deep breath and go get tested. Whatever you do, don't start Googling STI pics!

I don't see anything wrong with asking about rates for a lady's TIME in a text or email, if she hasn't posted them. I have never known it to cause an issue. I am not going to go through getting screened or wasting any time talking about schedules just to be told she's out of my league financially. This is one of the first things I typically get a handle on.

All very true - humans are a bad judge of risk and psychic ability is not real. However, if you do NOT listen to your irrational "gut", and you DO get caught, that abusive little voice in your head will be calling you an idiot for the rest of your life. I know, because ... well just trust me on this one So better safe than sorry. There's no harm in bailing other than a cancellation fee and a rosy palm.

I'm thinking that's not going to go over well ... we are waiting for the status report Your text message answer was a good one, leave it at that!

Look at the building from the outside ... some hotels have section with 2 or so stories (usually the convention rooms) and a tower with guest rooms. That tells you which way to walk for the elevator ... obviously the tall part. Also, phones are GREAT. In the past, you had nothing to do with your hands but look nervous. Now, just stare at your phone or better yet, type on it as you walk in. No need to make eye contact in 2019! If you walk into a wall or miss the turn for the elevator, no one will notice. Just an idiot on his phone. If she's late, just sit in the lobby and scroll endlessly on the phone. People do it all the time. Also, walk slow and just act tired or bored. People don't come into their own hotel nervous. They come in tired.

You sound down, dude ... to be honest, modern meds and therapists can work wonders these days if it's serious. But if it's run of the mill blues, just change things up. If you're not active, get active. If you're often alone, go some place to make friends (a meetup is better than a bar). If you have too much going on, cut out the complexity and stress. If someone is bringing you down all the time, figure out how to end that relationship. If you keep doing the same stuff you will be in the same place.

Anyone over 40 who can't find a suitable relationship is either a true introvert, is socially defective, or has unrealistic standards. For me it's (D) all of the above.

The upsell is NEVER a good time. The only reasonable exception IMHO is for greek, just because the market dictates it. If you're afraid of the upsell, you can directly say "you are asking X for 30 minutes of time, so that's exactly how much money I'm bringing, there is no upsell right?" You're not asking about specific services, just asking if X is enough. If she's an upsell girl she's going to immediately get concerned and ask you what things you want to do or tell you to bring more money if you want more fun. At which point you hang up
