Do you prefer a "yes" woman or someone who is willing to engage in debate if you disagree on a topic? Or something in between?

But there is a lot of spectrum within that.

I don't often get into discussions of things that could be termed debates, like politics, etc.

I prefer to talk about interesting subjects like culture, etc. that lead to harmonious and educational discussions.

We also talk about interesting stuff that is going on in our lives.

My favorites and I tend to have those kinds of talks.

I have booked many dinner dates over the years. Most of the conversation is light hearted, in particular stories about the hobby. Ladies always have them and I find them entertaining and fascinating. (obviously all client confidences are kept as such).  I have really yet engaged in a serious conversation where we actually debated the pros and cons of a sensitive topic. Moreover, dinners are usually the mid point of the evening. No point in getting into any type of debate on a topic, where your differing view points could dampen the rest of the evenings festivities. Keep it light and fun and always flirtatious.  

If we have a difference of opinion I'm not going to pretend to agree just to impress you. I'm gonna be myself, and if he don't like it, oh well. Now if we stumble on some touchy subject, I'll probably just steer the convo in a different direction.

Is gonna blow me under the table in between courses rather than hanging out with the guy cutting the roast beef . And or thinking she has to dive into the shrimp bar to find the best 1.

I like talk about common interests and experiences to build a stronger base of rapport, and then find some differences to help us both differentiate ourselves to one another. Not argumentative debate, but intellectual in the spirit of learning - all good. No way would I enjoy spending time with someone who just nodded, smiled and agreed with all I said. Hard for me to shift mental gears and realize "yes lady" is an act, and not simply lose respect for her. I think light and fun is important - I like liberal flirting and teasing. A good sense of humor is really important, IMHO.

Some of your stuff is funny ! I mean , thus was a Gd idea I give u girls props 4that .

The mile high club on the ground ? Common Zen , nobody wants any kung fu fighting over dinner !

Still not convinced...try and write like a hooker writes and not some misandrist.  You can use google to look it up...call a 5th grader to help you with the description.

Agreed!! I love it when someone knows more than I do about something, and it is an opportunity to learn.

LOL. I prefer some fancy (but gentle) footwork under the table. Although it is harder to clean up discreetly than a bj... I've heard a wine chaser works well for that, though.

We need all kinds on the board. You don't seem to take umbrage with the woman haters. I think a good balance of both is good for the board.

Sometimes it's nice to know who the players are...as YOU know I won't pay for a scorecard  

To a 90 year old...I'm a punk

Because the ladies are in the sellers camp and the guys are in the buyers camp, it really does change what is said for the most part.  

But you know I have many gal pals who I've known for years.  And when we chat it's not the sanitized version that appears on here...or other boards.

I am happy to pay you money for hot sex but not to watch you eat, listen to you talk or *shudders* watch you sleep.
I love the women in the business and am happy to take them out afterwards for a bite to eat and to chat.  They seem happy to do it.
I do not condemn any guy who will pay for the above, but it's not me.  In fact, later this week I'm having lunch on consecutive days with providers I know and we're not even having a session first (or second.)
Both women are real intellects and we talk about literature, art, politics and fucking.  It makes for a nice mix.  We also share sex industry gossip and news.  In New York right now there's more of that than is healthy.
This is what I love about this game.  It's the opposite of civvy sex.  Here, we get the fucking out of the way first.  Then, sometimes, a friendship follows.

and her letting me win.

You have some serious board cred to keep up.  If I wasn't so old, tall and fat, I'd love to roll around with you some day. Or at the very least have a laugh over a drink or coffee.

Hopefully you are not going on a dinner date with someone you have zero clue about.

And from what I've heard you are not fat, old or ugly...or tall  LOL

I so agree that it is a lost art. And too many people come to the table with too much opinion and not enough facts to back up those opinions. Or they come to the table with Jesus, and ya can't argue Jesus. No fair. Lol!!

Do you never have impassioned discussions about something controversial?? Those make me really hot.

I like your style.

Thanks.  I just get a vibe sometimes from a lady after we've clicked in a really good session and I pop the question.  Works for me!
On Friday, my ATF is taking me to lunch -- yes, she insists it's on her.
On Saturday I'm taking another lady to lunch.
No sex in either case, at least that's not the plan.  Just friends.
Once I took a gal to the museum after a session, then she sprung for dinner.
It's all good.

the level confidence the man have to engage in a debate. Some just wants their ego stroked and want others to tell them how smart they are.
 
Self Ego≠ healthy debate

This is true, I'm certain. Luckily I have rarely, if ever, run into such a gentleman professionally. IRL- all the time. Lol!

Hilarious
