  1. Anyone Seen Wren Ravenous

    I've seen her, several months ago. Won't go into any details here, but recommend. She definitely matches the pictures and the description in that ad
  2. Appreciated and flattered, but I would feel awkward. Yes, it's not about the money. There are better, more personal, ways to show appreciation and attention.
  3. Another headscratcher

    Just written up in the NYTimes: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/science/math-equation-pemdas-bodmas.html?action=click&module=Latest&pgtype=Homepage As he summarizes, adherence to elementary math PEMDAS (that Denvernative first mentions), the answer is 16. But from an algebraic analysis, which I would take, the answer is 1.
  4. Highly recommend.
  5. A suggestion for the Lady's

    The replies to the OP are very good. Yes, as the OP states and was successful at, it is good business practice to create a product or business to capture a niche of a big market. But that is different from what he is proposing. In Econ 101, one of the first examples shown is selling ice cream on a crowded beach. If there is already a stand in the middle of the beach, it's best to open your stand in the middle also, vs. trying to sell to only a about a quarter or third of the customers by locating halfway between center and an end. It's why there's always gas stations clustered at intersections. There's not much upside to trying to be successful in a small(er) and low margin market. Sorry, bad analogy regarding our wonderful providers and the great service they give.
  6. Happy Birthday CaliRose

    Much happiness, and joy, Cali.
  7. The happy thread

    Yes, I am (happy!). The wonderful providers add to it.
  8. am I black listed on p411

    I agree with this. I have taken the time and interest to reach out to a YL. I assume that's why there's a "pre-screening" option to make sure that we would be compatible before I / we commit to a date. I don't add "chit-chat" or requests , just let my profile and okays do the introduction, with a short, courtesy introduction.. If she doesn't care or want to follow-up with a quick response, then missed opportunity for us both.
  9. Time to hang it up ?

    Yes, it is very different now. But there are a lot of positive options still. Hate to bring it up, but we are dealing within a potentially illegal environment. Having TOB - even in its more limited status - and all of the most wonderful providers, is a great resource. The "world wide web" still immensely helps us all. Thank you.
  10. Madly in love with Sophie - anyone else?

    She's in the "Stay Human" house band on Stephen Colbert's show.
  11. Backpage ads

    AP article: PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The estate of a woman has filed a $3.6 million lawsuit against Backpage.com and the owners of the Portland, Oregon, hotel where she was killed by a man she'd met for sex. The suit filed Friday says the 25-year-old had been trafficked by an abusive pimp. It says she was killed in 2014 by Tae Bum Yoon, who found her through the classifieds website and lured her to a hotel. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that Yoon was sentenced to 18 years in prison after being convicted of manslaughter.
  12. Question for the fellas......

    Sorry you have to go through anything broken or an injury, Cali. Great that you show concern for the client's experience, but the cast would not bother me or interfere with the enjoyment.
  13. Taking an extended " Break"...

    Best wishes. Felice viaggio
