If Everything Reset After Each Time, Would You Change Anything?

Random thought  what if every day worked like Groundhog Day?

Same setup, same starting point… but you keep your memory.

Would you do things differently each time? Try new approaches, say things you didn’t say before, take more risks? Or would you eventually realise that changing too much actually makes things worse?

It’s funny because, in a way, we kind of do get multiple “resets”  just not with the same people or exact situation. Still, the patterns repeat. Same habits, same decisions, same instincts.

Makes me wonder if most of us would actually change anything… or just replay the same version slightly differently each time.

So honestly  if you had a real reset like that, would you experiment… or stick to what you know works?

but not a lot of things.

 
I like where I have ended up, and wouldn't want to jeopardize that to any great extent.

Life? Work? Escort appointments??

 
Just looking at the subject line of this thread wa enough for me to know who posted it.

He's getting a little esoteric searching for subject matter.   "Groundhog day" was a movie.  Why would we waste our time giving any consideration to a similar situation in real life?

Or my favorite, “I’ll see you.. when I see you”
Man, just ain’t getting what you’re saying here.🤷🏻‍♂️
Yeah I know… I could’ve by passed this but I’m bored😆

I’ve made mistakes over the years like anyone else. There are certain moments I can look back on and recognize that I could have phrased something more thoughtfully in an email or text, chosen my words more carefully in person, or approached a situation from a different angle altogether. That is just part of being human.
.
But those missteps are also part of the process. Not making the same mistake over and over reflects growth and wisdom, not failure. To claim that I would handle every past situation exactly the same way today would suggest that I haven’t learned anything and that I have not developed better judgment or perspective over time. Growth means evolving, and evolving means acknowledging that we can do better as we gain thosee valuable experiences after we mess up.

I would study the stock market and day trade, cash out and live it up every night!!

This. Perfectly said....

To tell me better questions to ask.

There are moments in all of our lives that could have been done differently or better, but for the most part, the P4P world is designed to minimize those occurrences. Clients have ads and reviews that establish expectations, experienced providers have the skill to adapt to each client. Sure, there are sessions that were disappointing for one reason or another, but few of those were events that I would try to "do over."

 
That said, over the course of a more than dozen years, and hundreds of sessions, three come to mind immediately that I would take a Mulligan (or two or three) on:

 
1. The first time I met Marie Sinclair. I has a terrific time, maybe my best "first meeting" with a provider. As we wrapped up our time, she started to pack her bag, even though it was evening. Apparently, she had driven to town just for my appointment  and was checking out to drive home. I don't know why that has stuck with me for 10 years, but I wish I would have asked her to extend.  

 
2. A provider named Kristie. I had seen her a number of times over a few months period. After going down on her, I slid up and we got into hot camel slides. Nothing was said, but I'm sure she was giving me the opportunity to slide in bare. I've had plenty of camel slide sessions, but taking it to bare penetration is generally not something I do; but that's one case where I would do it if I had the Mulligan.

 
3. A provider named Sarah. I had more session with her than any other over the years. In the midst of our last session before she retired, there were several outside distractions that really put a damper on a sweet goodbye. I'm not sure what I'd do differently, but, like Groundhogs Day, I'd like to try until I get it right.

Hell is being forced to live your life all over again, but being powerless to change anything.

If I had it to do all over again, I might not post this minor diversion from the main topic. Getting back to the original Q, I guess my answer is Yes.
