Naw dawg gravitas mean dey floss thru da town like a big wheel Crestside playa. Dats playa shit, ya kno?
So the group has to hire 2 new Associates and I spent the morning helping to interview a round of candidates about 1/2 female. And all of them were really good. They all seemed well informed about the position but more importantly they exhibited an incredible amount of gravitas.
This is the most important aspect of any professional position. The executive presence that one exhibits as they conduct themselves in the world is probably the most important trait of success. I mean I don't go into the office talking ebonics (know wad da fuck I mean mothafucka
Having met with many Providers I gotta say um some seem lacking in this area. Oh granted I was there for sex but I have had many conversations with Providers and there does seem to be that lack of gravitas (there's that word again!).
I would sum it up by saying there is a distinct difference between those that are committed to pursuing success and those that want success by merely half-assing it. And let's face it Providing aint exactly working in a sausage factory (pun intended but seriously working in a sausage factory is hard work)
And that leads me to wonder are Providers jealous of those women that have entered "the real world" and become successful? I mean how do you compare yourselves to a female that has earned a JD or MD?
Just my two cents. And probably not even worth that!!!

And those careers just aren't compatible with the other things we need to be doing in our lives right now. Doing this work doesn't add or remove gravitas (see a thousand previous discussions regarding why price varies so much among girls).
For me, this work replaces being married, not my education or career. On that, yes, I'm totally jealous of girls who chose better husbands.
Considering the skanks you see it's little wonder you think no hooker has gravitas. I'll bet you wouldn't know real gravitas if it walked up and bit you on your ass.
Interviewing for what? Next CEO of GE
Does gravitas mean grab dat tits and ass? I can do dat real good

Something that causes people to gravitate toward you...
So I think my guess was close enough lol
...you're not spending enough to see providers who express the level of professionalism that you seek. Ladies who have already made it in the professional world or have chosen providing over the highly-paid jobs we are otherwise qualified for set high rates. Why? 1) because we can, and 2) because we would never want to work longer and harder hours in this job than we would need to in a civvie job. We run the show and we set our own schedule and our own pay scale, unlike almost any other job. Hence we are generally not jealous, especially if we enjoy what we do.
Idk about other ladies, but this is my dream job. I have a lot of specialized skills and I'm quite amazing at what I do, and I charge accordingly. I'm 100% my own boss and I get paid to orgasm. What in the world is there for me to be jealous of?? My sixteen-year-old self would be very proud of me.
That this topic is worth 0.25 cents!
I bet Ridge will put in the good word for us if we PM him. Bring your "gravitas"!
or do you get gravitas at the Taco Bell Late Nite drive thru?
Lol stooooop that is too funny!
But at least I know the correct use of jealously versus envy. Jealously is fear of losing that which you already possess – “Amber jealously guarded her clients from other hookers.” Envy is the desire for something you don’t possess – “Amber’s client list was the envy of other hookers.”
I don't think there's a word for what he's experiencing.
you best me and I must have you.
Like Khan Noonien Singhgoing going after James T. Kirk
to put a RT twist on a class sci-fi movie
She tasks me. She tasks me, and I shall have her. I'll chase her round the Moons of Nibia and round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give her up!
Let's hope that you don't get out of the biz before I get back to NYC.
That would show how shall we say it yes here it is ---- a lack of gravitas on your part!!!!
RT Out
The idea of Rasha coupling with you makes me vomit. Unless she were to charge you $2000 for 15 minutes.
Just put it this way: Envy is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Jealousy is not.

Political correctness has ruined workplaces more than its helped. I was one of the best on my team when I worked for a marketing company. I was more knowledgeable and understood the capabilites of the product more than anyone I worked with, but promotions were only offered to those who looked and acted a part. It was not based on actual performance and knowledge of the job.
I started my own service and repair business about 5 years ago and I am not business like in the way I conduct myself. I am however, the one who shows up every week, rain or shine, the one who does not cut corners and who customers recommend to their friends and family because Im competent, I do great work and because I'm dependable. Thats why they hired me.
Id rather walk the walk than look a part.
That is how I run this business and my other one. I may not be the best but I know that I am the best I can be and I don't need to kiss ass and that in some small way is still respected.
I enjoy being able to say what I want when I want.
However it only takes a microcosm of self control in order to not say anything offensive... so easy a retard can do it.
All hat and no cows...
That would be RT
(for those with insatiable curiosity, there is a management book by that title... doesn't really hit the mark, but not a horrible read)
To make it big in the business world you put in 80 hour weeks and lots of heavy lifting. The pressure can be immense.
These gals with all their gravitas could look upon a gal who can make up to twice what they make and being their own boss with their own set hours with more than a bit of envy, IMHO.
Not to say that I haven't met a few gals in this hobby who do have day jobs that while not Fortune 500 territory, are nonetheless very reputable and even well paying
There are the good, bad, and ugly in every profession, and I'd put the best in the hobby world up against any other profession any day.
Here's the definition. Do you really want your hooker to have "a very serious quality or manner?" Yeah, right. I want her to be quite solemn while her Loubie-clad feet are crossed behind her head and banging' on the headboard.
But we need to forgive Ridge. Ignorant people always try to impress others by throwing around big pompous words. They think it gives them, well, gravitas
The only time I heard the word used was by the media leading up to the 2000 election. And they used it non-stop.
I wouldn't want my provider to have gravitas, though. Sounds like ultra-large cojones.
and thoughtful posts.
Oh Inicky what am I going to do with you.
Many of us have always looked to our Jewish brothers as the wise and insightful "older brothers" who would lead us on the path to knowledge and compassion.
Clearly that will not be happening with you. But hey keep trying.
Do you want me to buy you a copy of the book
First of all, CPA is still here, dummy. Everyone knows Who he is but you.
And, as for my book, yes, buy lots of copies. I'm a whore. I'll sell it to anyone. Even you.

Never is a good idea. LOL
And I guess "everybody" didn't make the connection.
I'll take Rrasha for $2,000 Alex! Dinner is OTC however.
And, as for my book, yes, buy lots of copies. I'm a whore. I'll sell it to anyone. Even you.

I think this is a bit of an incorrect generalization to make, although I can understand where you are coming from.
At the margin, I think career women are more highly educated, more eloquent, and more knowledgable about the world (politics, literature, history, other countries, etc.) than providers; many providers have not gone to college, and an even smaller portion have earned their degree from a 4-year institution.
However, there are absolutely exceptions, and I think the more elite the provider, the more educated she is likely to be. This is true in most cases EXCEPT for providers who have worked in porn or other mediums of adult entertainment; these ladies tend to have high rates because they are often extremely sought-after due to their having been featured in porn films and having built a name for themselves in this arena. After all, many guys would pay exorbitant amounts to say they slept with Sasha Gray -- and not be lying!
In Boston I know (mostly by reputation, as I know very few providers in the area and have only actually met a handful in person) a number of girls who have graduated from good colleges and a few who have advanced graduate degrees. These girls tend to have rates over $400, and about half are priced at $500+ for an hour. And even among those who haven't achieved this level of educational success, there are a number of ladies I have communicated with who are articulate, intelligent, and witty. Further, there are a reasonable number of girls who have had -- or who do have -- real careers and have been successful in the business world only to find that their income working in the "real world" is not nearly as high as it is working as a provider in the escorting industry.
All in all, I think this is not an accurate assumption you are making because you are ignoring a large group of providers who don't fit into the stereotypical portrayal you make in your argument.
And to say that providers are jealous of non-providers is pretty outlandish to me since I think providers, even those who have not had much formal schooling -- have other fantastic traits that make them enviable in other ways. Providers tend to be fit and beautiful, and therefore, one could make the argument that non-providers might be jealous of them; after all, men do gravitate towards sexy women more so than intelligent women -- and the smartest men look to both, which elite providers possess in abundance
...and really able think on their feet (as well as on their back of course), highly adaptable, able to handle all kinds of situations. Sure, some haven't fit this profile - but most have. I'd hire some of them to work under me no problem (come to think of it, I guess I've already done that haven't I? 
The posters have corrected--or at least challenged--the key words gravitas and jealousy. You have also been enlighten to some degree about the ridiculousness of pretending to have gravitas while not knowing what your doing and/or not doing it very well. Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, and even Donald Trump might have a lot to disclose about how to succeed in business, but I don't think you've really added to the study.
So since you use the wrong words, meaningless comparisons, and flawed ideas in your attempt to express your discontent, let me try.
You are wondering if perhaps if the women you see were less bubbly and playful and more sultry and sensual, might you perhaps have a better time, is that it. After considering the question, I don't think you would. You need to be assertively open and a little more courageous to enjoy yourself with a P4P woman. Allow her--or on occasion command her--to take the lead. Save the stress of controlling things yourself for your mundane life. But that doesn't mean just lie back and let her do you off. OMG!! Words fail us both?! Can't be.
Just think about it. Does it ever REALLY matter which side of the counter you're on?
I think just changing one word would make things more pleasant; switch from "jealous" to "admire" (along with the proper grammatical amendments) and we can all smile a little more at this.
