TER General Board
thanks. for all i posted, after all, i might have been the one laid off. 
yes, the weather was interesting. i was out in it and saw a long, slinky funnel. so, here i sit, reading and writing too much.... cheers
Like I said, show me one person who has died from no sex, and you win....
to my satisfaction. that would really be weak minded. the "show me one person" in a case where only statistics can decide is a dishonest aatempt to defend "sex is not a need". statistically it has been shown to be a need so you are proven wrong, period.
of course it is impossible to prove anything to you. i'd never try to prove anything to you. it is just amusing to watch you scam is all. i admire those skills. that you can't control how and when to use them is the sad part. 
you said no one would die of celibacy. the study i quoted shows your claim is quite false. you are refuted.
now i have reached the point of diminishing enjoyment at watching you try to squirm your way out of it. i'm starting to feel sorry for the fact that you _don't_ post under an alias. after all your desperate need to silence disagreement with abuse and your inability to admit rationally that you really overstated your case (to put it charitably) can hardly be good for business. it's not a pretty picture.
no wonder you spend so much time on the boards. (the same goes for me.)
BTW whoever is PMing me..... i am not currently VIP so will not respond.
i'm done now. thanks for the exchange. 'til next time. xoxo

it simple. your original statement was that "sex is a luxury". this study show that abstinence from orgasm increases mortality. therefore people who do without sex will die sooner. people who do without food water and shelter also die sooner. so i think it safe to say that sex is a necessity, not a luxury. it is a biological need. now whether that is solo sex or not is really beside the point. your statement was that sex is not a necessity wothout any qualifications.
this refutes your assertion that sex is a luxury quite simply.
it really is funny to watch you try to squirm out of proof that your ideas are simply wrong. it is worth the price of admission. LOL!
it is a biological need. your "weak mind" theory is just LR bs spin.
the study i cited above indicates that those who abstain have a higher mortality rate. therefore your whole assertion that sex is not a need is false. years of health education? where? Bob Jones U? LOL!
there are plenty of people who are quite happy without the need to control. the fact that you mistakenly equate control and happiness is more about the deficits in your own character.
i never suggested that paying for sex was not a luxury. you said "sex is not a need". you said celibacy does not cause death.
you are now trying to control this situation so you don't have to acknowledge an error or even an imprecision. you are using every rhetorical means to cover it up. i think you must be a politician.
Recently after contacting a favorite provider I later had to postpone plans for much the same reasons.
It is humbling enough to realize that you're NOT a natural "Player". It cuts to the fuck'n bone when the economy defines you as a "Loser"
CPA, make a list of people I should layoff, I'm going out for a message. Have their last paychecks and release letters ready to sign when I get back. Thx
Need that engagement letter first...along with my advance engagement fee of $ 25k...by wire preferably LOL
Discussing fees is NOT appropriate.
I might get offended
why can't we talk about hooker fleas?
oops. sorry. misread. fees not fleas.... carry on.
Or at least they are here in England.
This recession has been going on since the beginning of 2008.
2008 and 2009 were a nightmare and it was a miracle I never lost my job.
Things improved a bit in 2010, and a bit more in 2011.
2012 was better in my line of work at least, and I was able to return to Vegas a few months back for the first time since January 2008.
But this whole European mess is making it very hard to come out of the recession, and I am not sure when it will end. But it wont be anytime soon I fear.
It could get a lot worse before it gets better. Although I hope it doesn't obviously.
It seems to have been better in the USA than over this side of the pond, but even your recovery is being hampered but the Euro crisis, to some extent. As well as some home grown issues I'm sure.
I am still planning on being in Vegas again for X.Mas and the New Year, but that could all change if the country tanks as fast as it did at the end of 2007.
But I am not worrying about that until it happens, or not ()
i said:
"let's say tough times hit. your profits are tanking. you have a choice: lay off some workers or cut back on hobbying."
i never said who was considering this. You ASSumed it referred to myself. Or can you not read a question as referring to an abstract situation? Can't you read the difference between "your" and "my"? i guess not. London's always right even when she's dead wrong though.

oh, i certainly did ask for opinions. but there is a difference between asking for opinions and asking for advice.
as to my expectations..... i expected most folks to disapprove of the idea of laying folks off to feed thier luxuries and habits. i even expected a few folks to mistakenly assume i was talking about myself. the only surprise for me was how many did so.
now what was REALLY interesting to me was who backed off when i clarified and who insisted on trying to paint me as the hypothetical SOB i described. THAT was revelatory.
now as for future review count... you aren't going to be able to tell anything one way or the other. i have always preferred to repeat with folks i find reliably pleasant. so i don't do a lot of reviews. i suppose you could try to find if i've been seeing anyone recently by appealing to the Provider Only board. i would hope you wouldn't find anything one way or the other that way either. i tend to prefer to spend timewith folks whose business ethics are trustable: if i'm out of the game, they won't say; if i'm in the game, they won't say.
but your logic in assuming that if i did write more reviews it would mean i laid someone off.... well, it is simply completely defective. furthermore your implication is insulting, since upthread i posted that i am not in a position of power to do that.
if you tried to insult me about typography you'd fail. i really don't care about typos in a post on an internet board.
as for your communication skills, yes, they are legendary and not in a good way. i assure you i'd look elsewhere for a model or advice!
That was an even more bizarre diatribe from the legend herself
she'll say any ole thing just to "be right" or pretend.
i think your analysis of the NYC market is about right from the data you present. you've got a small sample but i would guess you cant be more than 10-20% off.
my guess is that, as you say, LR will either answer with a whole lot of nothing OR invent a whole new copyrighted and patented "LR addition table" so she can "be right".
have fun with your arbitrage!
I don't have a problem being called out or being wrong, or being shamed entirely on this board if I am dead wrong. That's life, and sometimes the low tide comes in and you see me standing there without a swimsuit. That's fine.
But LR is unable to keep the arguments/discussions to the issues, and then has to resort to insults about me, my career, and even (for fuck's sake) my ATF provider. Really? That's the mark of a desperate person who cannot defend his/her position simply with facts. She could have said..."Look, I am basing my statistics on the TER Top 100 and Eros. What are you basing yours on?" Instead, it's, "You fucking moron fucktard. Look at TER Top 100 and Eros. I thought you were out running errands. Obviously you have nothing else to do on a Saturday. You're a loser, and your career is a joke..." You know, that kinda stuff.
Now, at first, I was gonna go through all 475 Eros ads in NYC to get an average rate, but after looking at the first 20, I realized that this was fruitless. These were asking prices, and not transaction prices. Furthermore, Eros costs a bunch to advertise, and no rational girl is going to bury her ad among 475 others in order to hope she gets a hit, especially if the going rate is $500/hour here.
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But you don't need to get personal, as she did with me. But that's what you think you're entitled to, when you're queen of the board.
She also said similarly crazy things, like making a whole comment about the UES as a whole. Or saying that she would only be living in NYC with a 2000 sq. ft. place (yeah, how many of those exist?). Or that $5k/month won't get you shit, without specifying whether she meant one-bedroom, two-bedroom, doorman, location, etc.
I mean...she really, truly knows nothing about NYC, and even after undressing her on the board, she still maintained her stance. She said $500/hour is low and way off. She charges $800 for two hours, which is effectively $400/hour. Look at her reviews; she has stellar ones. Look at her site; she is very appealing. And I offered to pick up one night's hotel here. So why isn't she here, killing it? Because she knows the economics aren't there.
I don't have any issue with her personally, but if you are gonna argue, stick with the issues and the facts, for God's sake.
And not every post has to tell you to fuck off, that you're a loser, or that you're a fucking idiot. If your point is strong enough on the issues that you talk about, that part is tacit.
