i know a few who are experts in Quantum Physics and cock size..does that count? they also analyze the envelope i bring to hone their math skills at counting..they rarely philosophize..good luck in your fruitless search..

Yes, I know this is an unusual request.

I'd like to get a date with an escort who has extra time before session to work on a problem in math or analytic philosophy on a graduate level.  So for instance, if she can talk math, then she should know what I mean when I mention Galois groups or Banach spaces.  Or if she can talk philosophy, she should be familiar with verificationism and accidental properties.  (If she recognizes none of these topics, then she's not the kind of person I'm looking for.)

Of course, I also want to do what I usually do with escorts.  But I'm very low-maintenance when it comes to that stuff.  The hard part will be the math and/or philosophy.

I'm in the Rockford area, but I would be happy to travel to meet a fellow mathematician or philosophy buff.  For the right person, I will travel far.

Thanks.

EDIT:  Even if you aren't yourself a provider or a math/philosophy geek, maybe you know a provider who is.  Please feel free to point me in the right direction!

I am in town and you could help me write my ethics paper it is on the what would be Plato's ethical views on the hobby and anicent prostution  .... I wonder if ancient greek philsophers seen girls it is one of the oldest trades.....

I too would be similarly interested if such a unicorn in fact exists! Though perhaps biology or CS instead of philosophy and ODEs or stats instead of Algebra but hey I think I'd be ecstatic either way! lol

I like the courage and candor with which you made the request. I understand it well, though groups and spaces and philosophy are beyond me. There is something about connecting intellectually that makes the sensual experience that follows more enjoyable.

Good Luck!

Hmm.  The only place I know where Plato talks about prostitution is a passing comment in book III of [i]The Republic[/i] implying that it should be proscribed in the ideal polis.  Does he talk about it anywhere else?  That would be interesting to know.

But Plato aside, I have no doubt that ancient Greek philosophers engaged the services of prostitutes, although I suspect that [i]some[/i] philosophers spoke out against it.  It would be interesting to survey the literature to find any trends of opinion.  Probably their reasons for embracing or reviling prostitution would strike us modern readers as exceedingly bizarre.

However I'm more into modern analytic philosophy than ancient Greek.  Still, your reviews look pretty fantastic even without the philosophy bonus.  How long are you going to be in Rockford?

I will add that I'd be very interested to talk about modern views of the ethics of prostitution.  Frankly, I'm really torn about it myself, and the inherent bias I have as a hobbyist doesn't help in the least.  I tend towards consequentialism, so for me it's really a question of human well-being.  So for the provider, is she contributing on balance to human well-being, or taking away from it?  And we can ask the same question of the hobbyist.  In neither case is the answer clear to me, although I suspect that in the United States it may cause more harm than good, at least in the short term.

On the other hand, much of the harm may stem from problems caused by the legal status of prostitution.  And if that is the case, then it raises additional concerns about whether providers and/or hobbyists should take a stand, so to speak, against unjust laws through disobedience.  Unfortunately, it would be unwise to candidly explore that question on a public forum like this.  So I shall say nothing more about it here.

Thank you.

I don't know how much courage it took, though.  For the moment, I stand safely behind the wall of internet anonymity until such time I choose to step around it.  : )

I was actually inspired to ask by a recent experience I had with a provider called Cali.  I planned for just an ordinary date.  30 minutes for $80.  Well, we got to talking, and we ended up just hanging out for over an hour.  It was really great getting to know her, and I think she genuinely had a good time too.

The truth is, I'm a lonely guy who needs some real companionship in addition to the physical satisfaction.  Don't get me wrong; I'm not miserable or anything.  In fact I'm usually pretty happy and positive.  But I have all these desires which nag at me 24/7.  They're not overwhelming or anything, but they're always there, nagging nagging nagging.

So my date with Cali turned out to be a very special experience for me, one I will always remember fondly.  I would like more such experiences, and one way to do that is to raise a beacon for providers who share my interests, namely math and philosophy.  It's a long shot, I know, but on the other hand it takes zero effort to ask.  So why not?

This woman was fine, freaky and deep. Set up a dinner date, but had her stay the night in San Diego. She came to Chicago a couple of times, but was UTR and was here for consulting projects.  Don't think she was a math major, but was probably an engineer in her civvy life.

I'm here till Tuesday see PM

I see courage because even with Internet anonymity, on various boards, I see people being less than candid as well as fighting like in and perhaps even more so than in non-virtual settings.

I would like to be where you and another member Turbojet are on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Anthropology, museum studies, some elements of biology-particularly some of the more interesting research that's going on-food politics, areas of law and certain critical cases (Diamond v. Chakrabarty? we're all fucked), etc. Several of my reviews provide support for these claims (without evidence, I could claim to be a neuroscientist, no? )

However, outside of a bit of Plato, Descartes, Kant, and Hume, my interest in philosophy is more strongly geared toward "The Worldly Philosophers," and I've never taken an interest in mathematics beyond the functional basics and whatever else I might need to pick up here and there to grasp any subject I might be studying at the time.

Most of the ladies I've become close to are quite intelligent and breadth and depth of knowledge in a variety of real world and scholarly topics enjoy. I don't know of a one that has a particularly strong background in philosophy or mathematics, but I'll keep my eye out!

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Yeah, I don't doubt that many providers are intelligent and well-educated.  But it's going to be tough I think to find someone who shares an interest in the any of the specific (and somewhat arcane) topics which interest me.  This is a real long shot.  So I very much appreciate you keeping an eye out for me.

It's cool that you're interested in anthropology and biology.  However, I confess I'm not sure what "museum studies" involve.  I wonder, is it just what it sounds like?  The study of museum history and administration?  If so, that also could be quite interesting.  For example, I recall the story of Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie who in the early 20th century discovered the hitherto oldest known (predynastic) Egyptian mummy fragment, an arm (from Abydos I think) wrapped in linen and wearing some kind of bracelet or bracelets.  He delivered it to the Boulak Museum (which I guess eventually became the Cairo Museum), whose curator destroyed the arm for the purpose of removing the bracelets and putting them on display.  Petrie later quipped that "a museum is a dangerous place."

Anyway, thanks again.

Sounds interesting.  Actually I've never worked with Laplace transforms, but I would love to learn.

I've only taken the one required Philosophy class so I definitely could not help you there. I might be able to keep up with you in math. Although I am only a Junior, I am in a 500-level engineering based math and physics class. Email me at [email protected] if you would like to get in touch.

I don't know much about Maslow's HON, but at first glance it appears to be nonsense, for various reasons.  For example, human needs seem to be largely non-hierarchical, which means no project of arranging human needs into a hierarchy could possibly succeed.

But I'm no psychologist.  Maybe I'm missing something important about it.  Honestly though, to me it just looks like incoherent speculation rather than good science.

Am no psychologist either and Maslow may well have merely speculated, especially on the specific hierarchy that he asserted.

However I do know that given a limited budget, large or small, people spend it on some things and not on other things. And when the budget expands or shrinks, the consumption basket changes. That is evidence through revealed preference - better than mere speech, they are voting with their money here - of a hierarchy of needs for me.

Great combo of 500 level math-physics and awesome reviews. Now if you could offer incall, I would be in seventh heaven.

My error. Initial reviews and the profile suggested no incall. Looks like you do. Will contact you.

It's something like man born into obscene wealth running a country (or trying to, in our case)-you simply cannot grasp the subject unless you've at least once in your life seen it from the bottom.

Yeah...

I have grad-level training in one of the three above and double majored in the other two as an undergrad...

But I don't think that cuts it re. your specifications.

Also could recommend a number of people with grad-level training in psychology, anthropology, economics, computer science, and social work. But I really don't know any math/analytic philosophy geeks in this world... My college dormitory, definitely. But they're all employed or working on doctorates on one of the coasts right now.

Cool.  Those aren't exactly my cup of tea, but they sound interesting nonetheless.  I especially wish I knew more about economics, but alas, I do not.

You want to hire/pay a provider and spend most of the time working on a problem in mathematics or analytical philosophy?  What ever happened to asking a female classmate out on a date?  Hell, why don't you try match.com?

I'm sorry but I get the vibe that you think that hobbying is dating.  It is not!  If you have the mindset that they'll be your best friend and confidante, you are sadly mistaken.  Too many lonely guys go into this thinking they'll find love and a soulmate.  The ladies will not be into you, unless they are getting paid.

If you have unlimited cash resources, then more power to you.  But, don't you want a female that is really into you and your passions...and doesn't require a per hour rate to show it?  Buying friendship does not sit well with me.  I'm sure you can find someone that truly shares your love for math and philosophy....and does not require a fee to show it.

I can certainly understand your concerns here.  Let me say up front that I do not expect to find a close friend by meeting escorts.  I am well aware that I am first and foremost the escort's client in a business transaction.

Nevertheless, a business relationship is still a relationship. Consider the analogy of your own job, for instance, whatever it happens to be.  I highly doubt you spend all your time at the workplace just doing work.  Rather, I'm sure you fraternize with fellow coworkers and sometimes even bosses or underlings.  And I bet you have certain coworkers you like more than others, and that for this reason you are often pleased or disappointed depending on who you find at the workplace on a given day.

Well that's sort of what I have in mind here.  I want to find an escort with whom fraternization is fun and rewarding for both of us.  That doesn't mean I have forgotten our relationship is based on a business transaction.  So for example I'm not going to bother them outside of work by calling them up for a chat or something.  That would indeed be pretty naive.  But on the other hand, I do hope to find gals who enjoy talking on the job, and who might be interested enough that they genuinely want to, say, stay late to finish a conversation.

Now, maybe that's still not realistic.  I'm new to this, so it's hard for me to say what exactly is feasible and what is not.  But it can't hurt to try, right?

in hoping to find someone you can have a mutually enjoyable conversation with.

As for grad-level math or philosophy, is that any odder a criterion than what's searchable on TER? Maybe they should add 'interests' or 'major' as a searchable characteristic...there are requests about someone to enjoy a certain concert or game, etc. all the time...

On that note, 100 discount on incalls for anyone who does business analytics, social media, marketing, strategic consulting, or advertising through Oct 20 and enjoys talking about their job.

Ahh, now if anyone is looking for a provider who wants to discuss Maslow's hierarchy of needs... !
