It's not really a big issue with me, mainly because I've nothing to hide. The other reason is that I tend to see woman that I wouldn't be at all ashamed to be seen with, as I'm partial to women that are a little more mature and closer to my age. I guess that I've considered this happening and have thought up a few casual responses, pays to have a few stories in your back pocket. Also if this does happen it's probably inappropriate to use her name as it might not be the one the other person recognizes.

The other thing you do is ask the other person a question first and divert the conversation towards him and whats' goin on in his life.. How are you doing, haven't seen you for a while, what are you doing these days?

I think the word paranoia fits this type of individual very well. You are right Sophia to insist on a number, and those that don't have the gumption to comply are just missing out on the opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of of your service. Everyone in this hobby have a right to establish an alternate identity but they also have to realize that a certain amount of trust has to exist on a practical level if you want to participate.

 

Is there any sort of etiquette in this sort of matter besides common sense and courtesy?

 

I think you've got the idea, common sense and courtesy go a long way. There are many ladies that don't have recommendations, so I wouldn't limit yourself. One suggestion I would make is to take a look at a ladies posting history, and this can be done right from her profile. This can give you a pretty good idea about her personality.

I'm with you on this, although I keep a file of blog favorites and check them ever week or so. I do like your idea as there are probably blogs out there that I might find interesting but not aware of.

By definition a recommendation is a positive, and luke warm doesn't fit

I post very few reviews, mainly because I think it has to be exceptional and probably a long term relationship, and secondly I think the reco reflects on my reputation. The problem occurs when you've had a bad experience, one in which you feel cheated. This has only happened once here in the last five years, and at the time, made me want to out the lady in question as I believed she would do the same thing to other clients. I used a method a few guys use, with a note in a relevant thread, that I had seen her and that if anyone wanted information they could contact me by PM. T inference was made and I was inundated and justified by a thread on a compensator board.

I think you have take recos with a grain of salt, and use multiple sources when you are researching a date. It also pays to get familiar with the members who do post recos and get familiar with their reputation and posting style.

It's like having a job, you gain expertise with practice. I suggest you get back in there and give your tongue some more exercise. I bet this is one time you would even be glad to do a little unpaid overtime.

One other neat source is found on CBC radio. There is a show called "C'est la vie". They select a word of the week and then discuss it's meaning and all the ways it can be used. The other nice thing is that you can get it on pod casts, take it on your Ipod when you're out for a walk.

Take a look at what you're asking. The question is so very broad, and as there are a wide variety of ladies who have different motives and situations for this type of work, there are probably an unlimited variety of answers. These women are quite normal and represent the aspirations of any women, and not necessarily in this industry.

I suggest you take some time to explore the site and I'm sure you will find many of the answers already discussed here but asked with more limited parameters.

A few years ago I was going to Central America and wanted to learn a bit of Spanish. I tried a service called Live Mocha, and I think you can do the basics free.

The other resources you might want to take a look at are the two school beards. I've done many continuing ed courses that they offer through the winter. They are reasonably priced and you get the chance to practice with others at the same level.

I had a call from the friendly Tax man today, doesn't think I've been a good boy.

I haven't had a rimming here in Ottawa, but know a few ladies that do this in Toronto. One is a lovely lady that I've seen on an occasional basis for five or six years. She doesn't use a dental dam, but I'm sure she is very careful with ensuring here clients are clean, and I think as she does it on a regular basis that she has built a degree of immunity from infection. Obviously, if a lady does so here she may not publicize the fact, and would contact you privately as you've already indicated your proclivity, and I don't think it could be a form of solicitation since you've made the initial overture.

In retirement I am doing a lot of travelling, and in the last three or four years I've circumnavigated the globe and visited a dozen countries. I think before I stop I'd like to make it fifty. I'm pretty fortunate because my son is employed by a major airline and I get some great deals. At present I'm planning for a couple of months in NZ and Australia starting in January.

I am leaving a trail of breadcrumbs with my Geocaching record, and I think it might be time to look into starting a personal travel blog, although my Facebook account keeps a pretty good record. I'm burning through the pages in my passport at a pretty steady clip.

Did a Google search for massage Ottawa and there is an exoticmassageguide second down, with Studio 2000 at the top of the list.

Has been a few years since I was there. Clean nice ladies. It is kind of an institution in Ottawa.

What do you do to "prevent it" and what is your remedy when you get it?

A number of years ago when my wife was ill and had a compromised immune system it was necessary for me to start taking the annual flu shot. I believe it's very important in avoiding the flu, and am still getting it done after eight years.

I think it's pretty straight forward, and personally I enjoy the chance to get acquainted in the shower. You've booked an hour, and you have no way of knowing what else she has planned for the rest of her day, so although it's in their best interests to let you have a shower you shouldn't expect her to give you a whole lot of extra time to freshen up. I know for myself a date isn't full bore for an hour so give or take five to ten minutes shouldn't be a problem, split the difference, and if you're counting the minutes, you probably aren't in the right mood, or it was such a good date you should be giving her tip.

I tried quitting using a variety of methods, but I finally came to the conclusion that the best and most efficient method is called cold turkey. You have to come up with a very good reason to motivate you and then it's a matter of discipline. My reason as the birth of my son, and I will have my 30 year anniversary later this month. I have to say that the benefits are worth the effort.

Good luck, and I hope you can find a method that works for you.

I think if you do a little bit of looking through some of the ladies web sites you will find a number that offer a dinner and dessert option. So if you find someone that interests you you could use those examples as a template to negotiate a date.

I would agree with the majority of your post, but would point out several places I have a small difference of opinion.

I've had encounters with a couple of ladies where seeing the lady is more like seeing a friend (yes, friends with benefits LOL)

RG

The first is a simple matter of wording, as the term "friends with benefits", suggests a non commercial arrangement, which I don't think you were implying.

If a lady retires and moves on, for example well the friendship will end since we won't see one another (in most cases) but there will be fond memories.

RG

In the second case, I don't think true friendship has to end with retirement. I think it's quite possible to maintain a friendly relationship into the future.

Sure fall in love if you want, but, and this is a big but, at this point it's her business and treat it as such. Remember that it is her job to play and satisfy on your emotional needs. On the other hand remember she is still a woman that can be courted, and even with a more conventional liaison it takes time to develop a relationship. It will cost you to find out where you stand, so set some limits on what you're willing to invest to find out if she is legitimately interested in furthering the relationship.

Interesting, I just had a birthday that puts me just north of sixty five, and I would argue that age is an important number. But, you see so many comments such as not acting your age or looking younger, the assumption being that somehow age is somewhat of a negative. I disagree, it's just another part of living.

Sure, I'm already showing some physical signs that reflect the ravages of time, and are a precursor of things to come. I might not perform sexually as I did 20 years ago, but I know with the right partner I can enjoy the mutual experience probably more than I did in my youth, because the intimacy today has a far broader base, founded on experience. I think also with this journey, I am far less inhibited.

The other aspect is rather more personal, now and evolves from the fact that I am now alone. I miss my wife, but have come to terms and developed a certain amount of freedom at this stage. Since I am quite comfortable off, I can afford to experience many new things. I've probably traveled to a dozen countries in the last few years. Rather than dreading the passage of time, embrace it.

For most women, I think that they worry about how their beauty is affected. I think that this is unfounded, as I know women in their fifties and sixties that are absolutely gorgeous. They understand that beauty is not all skin deep, as they rely on a twinkle in the eye and a disarming smile as part of their arsenal.

I wish I could be a woman for a day to get a better insight and also to know what it would feel like to make love to another woman as a woman. What about you?

Smack me in the face, but Dawg you might get fucked by a guy instead in this other life. That would be a real eye opener, I'm sure you'd appreciate and empathize more and might really understand how to be a better lover.

I think that I would consider the stuffing to be a side dish, and here it can be made with unlimited variations. From the base which can have bread, potato or rice in it, or additions of things like sausage, shellfish, apple or dried fruit. I try new variations twice a year, Xmas and Thanksgiving.

I go along with Christy, unless you have some obvious child porn sitting there, you should be OK. If you're going to a busy shop they don't have the time or inclination to start going through your emails or exploring your computer.

It may be a bit drastic but if you do have to reinstall the operating system which will give you a pristine system, then take a few steps to forestall future problems. Number one get a good virus detector, and many like Norton have got the tools to maintain your computer without you having to be an expert. Back it up periodically and generate a restoration disc so that if a disaster occurs in the future, you'll have the tools to restore it yourself

I'm not sure if this would be qualified as a board game, but if I have the kids home for a week, say Christmas, I put a difficult jig saw out. It's not to often when someone isn't tempted to sit down and do a bit. If it has enough pieces, there's a challenge to see it done before the holiday ends.
