Question for the guys:  A business partner has offered me use of his condo at the north tip of Ocean Drive in South Beach, Miami, for four days (Thursday through Sunday) later this month.  Terrific modern building and only a 50 yard walk to the beach. This is a mini vacation for me; absolutely no business appointments.  I intend to invite a companion to accompany me. I'm 45 and not married. Undecided about inviting someone near my age or younger. If you had this opportunity, whom would you invite?  Thanks.

and can get along with. You do not want spend the time, money and effort to go with some one and find out you don't get along.  Remember how you get along with someone for a few hours does not mean you will get along with them for 4 days.  

 
Just my thought on the matter

Above all, only invite a companion whom you've seen several times and with whom you have great communication and some shared likes.  Make sure you two are absolutely clear on the business arrangement and happy about it.  That said, the best way to do it is to take a provider or one of your friends with benefits, but for only 2 of the days.  The other days there are so many people for you to meet and pick up at the Lincoln Mall or Bal Harbour or at the beach bars in Ft Lauderdale and for sure along Ocean Drive and South Beach.  And if you cannot pick up anyone you should still keep the time free and single for if you want to see one or two of the local providers (PM me if you need some tips on that).  When I go I fly in an UTR or a friend with benefits, but I always keep some days free on the front end or back end to fly solo.

Without a doubt I will invite a lady with whom I am comfortable and have spent time with in the past.  Because of a busy work schedule, it's been more than a year since I've had at least a 4-day break.  So a drama free, no hassle companion who likes to have fun and would enjoy exploring the  fine sandy beaches, restaurants, and night life is a priority. I have a repeat session later this week with a younger lady who almost assuredly would be accommodating.  Just wondered if any gentlemen have had a similar extended stay with a companion who would be worth meeting before making my decision.  Thanks for your help.

I recommend Ayden.  She's good looking, very bubbly personality, wide-open menu, she'll stay focused on you (if you want), and is a sun worshipper

I wouldn't take anyone as a full time companion.  Having good chemistry with someone on an hourly basis is night and day from being with them for several days straight.   Chemistry aside...you'll drop some serious coin too.  Long story short it's  just not worth it IMO.  

I'd hobby locally to my hearts content though.  Especially in Miami where there's ample supply and quality.

Loove Ayden. Hard to pin down though. I've done extend travel no prior visit with several much younger gals. With one exception all worked well. Research extensively and back channel same. Go top shelf like Ayden and you'll be glad you did. If you want names, pm me.

Quite true. I usually give them days to themselves. Beach, spa etc. they'll be happier and almost always they'll negotiate a much lower rate. They're on their own usually 9/10am to 4/5pm.

In my 5 years of companionship, I've been blessed with a lot of travel dates, domestic and international, ranging from single days to 2 full weeks. While everyone's tolerance is different, I find the "bad fish" rule works pretty well. You know that old saying, fish are like house guests-they both go bad after 3 days. It works for vacations with a new friend as well (new as in new to multiday dates together). That's roughly the length of time I can spend in anyone's presence 24/7-save for bathroom breaks :-)-before I need my own space to recoup. If I've been traveling with you for 6 months or so, then we've likely developed a much deeper level of relating with each other and I can easily enjoy your company all day for days beyond that first 3.

The point here is that an experienced travel companion should already have a feel for how long she can actively enjoy your company (really enjoy, not simply "put up with"), and should have plans in place for how and at what point she will need to recharge, AND she absolutely must be capable of communicating these to you well before you finalize those plans. If she has no idea or can't, or else blows you off with "it'll be fine!!" then she probably either doesn't have a good deal of experience traveling (meaning she may well not be the same lovely woman she was when you connected for a shorter date) OR she is likely more interested in the money than the quality of your experience.

If your desired lady cannot express her basic needs to ensure she can be at her best for you, and yet you still wish to pursue this date with her, I would suggest the following: providing a separate room for her to retreat to when she needs it, whether that be sleeping alone at night or a bit of solo time during the day; a separate bathroom for her to feel comfortable doing her thing in (this alone may save you from having to personally deal with the inevitable "makeup counter top takeover" syndrome that often happens during travel ;-)); and allowed time for her to check on the homestead, whether that be private time out of earshot to make a couple of calls home, or take a peek at her email box to ensure it hasn't blown up. In short, if she's new to traveling with a gentleman or couple, allowing her space to be a real human being with permission to express her needs is going to make for a happier, more relaxed companion who is much, much more inclined toward toward seeking and meeting YOUR mental, physical, and emotional needs.

One final thought: When traveling with or to someone I have never met before (and I have indeed done this on more than one occasion), I've found that offering flexibility in the situation really relaxes both parties and creates for a more organic experience. So, I do this by making the first 48 hours absolutely confirmed, and anything beyond that either party can decide that they are "full" from the trip and call it quits early, with no money required for any of those "cancelled days." While neither myself or any gentleman friend I've traveled with have actually chosen to exercise this right, it keeps at the forefront of our experience that our time is about real connection and quality, and not about forcing the experience to "fit" the available time. Now, this is something I'm offering from the companionship side, and I'm not so sure how that would work if a gentleman were to make an offer to "cancel" part of a lady's reserved time if he (or the lady) stopped feeling it at some point...but, perhaps you can creatively come up with some spin off to bring up to your lady friend.

Best of luck on your Vacation!!

It depends...take the aforementioned Ayden Ashley as an example.  Her 12 hour rate on her website is $6K.  You'd negotiate  for a multi day rate but and she's obviously on the high end price wise, but you can do the math and see it's going to be a tidy sum. And that's before you pay her airfare, dinners, shopping, entertainment, etc

To each their own...but for me it's wasteful spending.  One could hobby locally to his hearts content and still come back with 5 figures in his pocket saved by not having to pay for someone to eat, sleep, shower, get dressed, travel, etc..

Depends on the relevance of $5K to you. Some, that amount is pocket change and the company is well worth the price. You get someone known, top shelf, honest and hot. Who wants to be on 'vacation' and have a revolving door of hookers at your resort? Maybe some do. But some don't.

Even with your beloved SO. If I ever did something like this, I'd give her time every day to herself rather than lock her down for 48 hours straight. For the vast majority of these trips, we're strangers. We don't know each other's personal habits to the point that we can "live" with that person 24/7. It's hard enough taking trips with our SO's without driving each other crazy LOL. I can't imagine being chained to someone I hardly know 24/7, not just for her sanity but for mine as well. Give me some breathing room woman! :-)

Eve, as always your advice is intelligent and solid but I don't know about 48 hours straight with anyone, lol. That's asking a hell of a lot...

If I were a dude and could afford it, I would totally pick you lol.

Here is my little blurb about Eve. The first thing I noticed about her is she carries herself very well and will represent whomever is with her magnificently.

Eve also is a great conversationalist. She guides the conversation in such a way that it benefits both parties. (Mostly you lol.) She has a great outlook on life, supreme self worth without feeling 'better than' or 'entitled'. (She is entitled to respectful and generous men, however. Just sayin'.)

She has the 'company' thing down flat for a man or woman who desires challenging conversation. Her presence is for you, but she is polite to all those around her as well. Respectful to wait staff while remaining attentive to her company.

There is also that presence that most men ask for. The natural 'calling' of you to herself. I believe, without being distasteful, you will have the time you need during out time, to work up the anticipation for later. A natural sex appeal - again - without even having to note it.

Now I have never paid for her time. (Lucky me.) So this is only my interpretation of her based on my time with her as a fellow chick. You have to be able to handle a smart woman, tho. But I doubt she will disappoint any with her natural ability to adapt to - yes - even me haha.

xo!

I'm talking about folks who reach out for the first time and want to see me for, say, 3 or more days. In those cases, requiring a 48 hour commitment is actually cutting them a break, not making an additional demand. This 48 hour commitment means: I promise to stay for a minimum of 48 hours (unless you act like something less than a gentleman, at which point I would leave at any point, though thankfully I'm careful to get a solid sense of anyone I see and this has never happened!), and you promise to financially cover that 48 hours. After that, we have the flexibility to take it as we go, and if I leave early or you leave early because one of us is "full" from the company, you are only financially obligated for those days we were together (rather than all of the days I committed on the calendar to you). Again, I only provide this option for new friends who are jumping in feet first with a first date as an extended multi-day travel date. And, I've never actually had to exercise this option, nor has any friend I've shared time with; we've always successfully really, really enjoyed the date experience and getting to know each other, which I believe is owed, in part, to taking the pressure off by simply having that option there.

You, my friend, are certainly not obligated to spend 48 hours straight with anyone, and I think it's really healthy to know and respect your own needs in that area, rather than pushing past the point your body/mind is requesting a recharge moment simply because you are trying to maximize your time or for some other reason.

I, on the other hand, really enjoy holding space with someone, being actively mentally and emotionally "plugged in" and present with the person I'm with, and completely associated into the experience we are creating and sharing. I've experienced enough surprise (and usually delight) over this to understand this approach isn't the norm for ladies, or perhaps it's not the norm to the depth and length I am able to take it. But you know, it's like anything else. Just because you're capable of running a marathon doesn't necessarily mean your running partner is capable or interested in doing so every time, and the point when running together is to match pace, not out compete. :-)

Cliff's notes version, make sure you are both in total agreement of what is expected, in particular physical activity.

The blonde and I like to go to Desire resort in Mexico. It's a couples, erotic, lifestyle(swingers) and nude resort. Great fun. If you find agreeable like thinking people, interesting things can happen. Swinging, groups, etc. If you hit it off gives you some future opportunities back in the states. We have made some great friends there.

The couple in the room next to us had a verbal knock down drag out that got so loud security was called. We couldn't help but hear them. She was a companion. I won't use the word he used to describe her at the peak of the argument. The guy had always wanted to go here but his x wouldn't have any part of it. It turned out he wanted his companion to go with him and try to hook up with other couples, groups etc. He hadn't discussed this with her and she was beyond pissed.

They had three more nights there. To piss him off she went and found other couples to join with out him. She put on quite a show on the bar of the hot tub one night. You can guess what happened.

Last night he was beyond drunk at the bar. Saying, "I paid $$$$ for the room. She required Business or First class air $$$$ with what I fuc---- paid her. I got one fuc---- blow job."

They left in separate cabs. If they couldn't find people to change seats with, I'm sure that flight back home was a little frosty.

Life lesson, make sure your expectations are in alignment. Don't assume any facts not entered in to evidence.

LOL, I get what you're saying, I'm just being facetious about paragraph one and various sub-sentences within prepositional clauses. May my attorney review the contract before I sign on the dotted line? Thanks :-)

I can think of one person I'd love to spend 48 hours straight without driving each other crazy. She's not a new friend though, I've known her for almost two years and we talk every day, all day. If we were going to drive each other crazy, it would have happened long ago, lol. With the right person, someone who's intelligent and personable, it could work. The part I don't understand is how you can commit to at least 48 hours with someone you've never met before. Unless you've been talking for a long time, how do you know you can get along with him for two days? I mean, we're not exactly the cream of the crop in the male human species here, lol. And what happens when you run out of things to talk about or you become completely bored with what he wants to talk about? Long periods of silence - there's a mood killer, lol. I trust that you do an excellent job of selecting the proper clients if you've never had to bail so congrats on your excellent taste.

Even with such a deal, I think that a few hours a day on our own would be healthier than spending every moment together. OTOH, maybe you're just so wonderful that I'd never want any free time...

(Apologies-the set up is necessary to build out the point at the bottom.)

Have you ever heard the observation that if 5 different people see the same event and you ask each of them what happened, you will get 5 different explanations? The rich range of details available to take in at any given point is so very broad, that we must by necessity choose some parts of that experience to notice, and ignore others. We make those decisions on what to notice, and what to edit out, based on our internal beliefs (beliefs about ourselves, others, and/or the world). So, while experiences initially shape our beliefs, our beliefs repeatedly shape our experiences in such a way to fit/confirm these pre-existing beliefs.

By the way, this is where the "SEMANTICS!" screaming nihilists come in, and if you're one of those folks and reading this, that's cool-you're just looking to confirm your own beliefs, just like the rest of us. :-)

Back on topic, what sort of experiences do you think are possible when operating from the belief that the gentlemen who participate in this lifestyle are "not exactly the cream of the crop in the male human species here"? If you, the gentleman, believe that to be true about yourself, what behaviors are available to you in this environment? How might that belief affect how you filter/edit the range of details available when sharing time with a lady? If a lady believes that about the gentlemen she sees, how might that affect her range of choices in how to interact with the gentleman, or when interpreting his behavior/editing the range of details when sharing time together? (Hell, how might that affect your behavior and interpretation of others' behavior on this board?)

If "I'm going to spend time with a professional companion" was the solution to "I'm not the cream of the crop of the male human species" (and thus cannot or am not allowed to have/do/experience X otherwise) then I'd say you found a positive solution based on what was on your menu at the time. However, what if we could expand your menu of options by rewiring that belief? That menu of options may include choosing to continue seeking professional companionship, but it would be COMING FROM a very different place. Or, maybe it would mean making a different choice altogether, one that the present belief negates as even an option on your plate.

I don't like limits when interacting with people. Part of being a companion for me is coming to truly appreciate people in all of their magnificence. In order to do this, I kind of have to start with the paradigm that that magnificence is already in them, right here and now, and that their present state (even if partially or totally undesired by them) has its own manner of brilliance, yes? If I were to start with the belief that the people I see are "less than," then I'm going to notice (consciously and unconsciously) examples of how they are "less than" and how I relate toward them is going to INSPIRE a "less than" feeling/attitude/behavior in how they relate with me, even if they are perfectly amazing with all other people. Ever notice how when with certain people, you seem to become a different person? Like when you're with your parents, you always seem to find yourself returning to certain behaviors, or to the identity of being their child, simply because of how they interact with you? We are mirrors, and often reflect what is projected our way.

If you're here (involved with companions) so that you can be something different from the options you believe/perceive are on the table in your "real life," then I'd suggest that part of my "job" as a companion is to both give you the biggest, broadest table possible to lay out as expansive a list of options as you can dream up, and to inspire and encourage you to dream up more than what you were creating yourself. This is why I am blown away by gentlemen and ladies who are not selective in who they see-whether you like it or not, the person you seek is going to reconfirm certain beliefs, and affect your state of how you envision yourself well past the time you share. Why fill up your heart and mind with garbage? Then again, many of us believe that garbage and/or living small is all that we are allowed to have.

This goes to the point that with our beliefs and behaviors, we attract and are drawn to those people who are the other side of our coin, the people who can fill the role as our dance partner so that we can engage in the same behavior or relationship over and over again, and continue to reconfirm our beliefs. We've all had moments where we feel like we're hitting our head against the same wall. Our beliefs hold us to the same experiences, and prevent us from moving forward. When we finally do move forward, often we will find that we've rewired our beliefs (again, about ourselves, others, or the world), and now we suddenly find that we have a whole different set of people showing up at our dance party.

If you want a fun exercise, go through my reviews, starting from the beginning, and see if you can notice at what points I showed up at new/different dance parties, with options for new types of dance partners. You can do this with anyone, really, provided you know all (or at least most) of their reviews are legit.

So, with regards to your questions and observations, I do spend time with extremely interesting, engaging, and amazing people. Part of this is because of how I represent myself and who is drawn to me-as well as who among those people I am in turn drawn to and agree to see-and part of this is because of my baseline view point/expectations for the awesomeness of the men and couples I share time with (as well as my views on myself, others, and the world in general), and how this influences my behaviors toward them and what this inspires in them in turn.  

ALL of this-who I ultimately share time with, and what comes out of them (and what I notice in them) during our time together, is built squarely on the foundation of my beliefs...just as your (and everyone elses') experiences, observations, and interactions, are based on your own belief sets. :-)

Seems like that career would suit you well :-)

The "not exactly the cream of the crop" assessment was based on how most providers perceive us and how we're frowned on in real life. The rest of the world outside of this hobby thinks what we do here is so disgusting, we can be fired from our jobs on morals clauses. That's what I really meant, our morals are perceived to be corrupted as opposed to monogamous men who stay faithful to one woman for life. Would you marry a hobbyist? Would you believe that he'd be faithful to you knowing that he hasn't been in the past and that our past behaviors seem to repeat themselves? See, that got you thinking just a little didn't it? :-)

Your philosophy and outlook are different than most women. You're obviously very intelligent as evidenced by the fact that I had to reread your post twice to understand it correctly, lol. Intelligence is something I seek out in every provider I choose and it takes me a long time to choose who I want to spend time with. If you look at my reviews, you'll see gaps of many months. It's not that I'm not seeking out others, it simply takes me that long to decide if they're someone I'll get along with for more than one roll in the hay. I read their board posts to see if they have a sense of humor like Ms Golden_Pussy up above you who just cracked me up, lol. I think I'm very picky which is why I only have 49 reviews in 8 years. I wasn't very selective early on but I was a lot dumber about this sport than I am now. Which makes your point, we all grow from interactions with others and the women I've seen and reviewed I believe are high-quality providers and women. There are many more of you I'd meet if I had the resources and time to do so.

I've watched your posts for a long time and have always been impressed with the level of intelligence you display. I've learned quite a bit from your thoughts as well as others here who I find to be intellectually and physically stimulating. I like both traits, it's the perfect package that ultimately leads me to contact someone new. I haven't made a bad selection in many many years which is the reason my scores tend to be on the high side. Months of research into who I want to see always leads to good matches and therefore higher scores. I still have a bucket list and you're one of the women on it...

Thanks, everyone, for your comments and suggestions.  I reconnected last week with a favorite lady with whom I have had multiple sessions, including a very enjoyable extended stay, and made my decision.  It was not difficult decision.  She is charming, witty, very easy on the eyes, has a wicked imagination, adventurous, and is looking forward to enjoying sunshine without getting tan lines.

We discussed and agreed to each other’s expectations, a point some of you recommended.  Frankly, we had no disagreements. And I would not agree to a four-day trip without understanding expectations.

Others suggested making arrangements with more than one lady, an option that certainly has merit.  But that’s not the preference I set when I first began my planning. As I mentioned, this is my first break from business in quite some time.  So while I enjoy getting to know people, I was more interested in having fun and spending time with someone I already know.  “You will not be disappointed,” she assured me.  “I know what you like.  Think of our time together as a boyfriend and girlfriend who both need and want to get away with one another. “

One last item that has been mentioned – “serious coinage.”  But I see no difference compensating one lady for an extended stay than the cost of entertaining two or more.  And then there’s this to consider, and I hope no one considers it cheap or arrogant.  My business partner is making available to me his condo, thus no expense.  And airfare is covered, too, because we’ll use the time-share company jet.

Again, thank you
