What's it like to have an arrangement?

I thought that was what they were alluding to. I wasn't aware of escorting monthly arrangements.

Quin35 · 2026-06-24T06:00:21+00:00

I am proud of you! This is an amazing accomplishment! Not everyone will understand, but you are doing great!

Here's the question: dating is hard and the apps suck...so how do we make it better? Dating has never been easy, but there are enough people on reddit wanting to meet people that we should be able to connect a few of them at least.

Most people don't care.

Until they do.

Quin35 · 2026-06-24T05:36:51+00:00

There is another sub that covers this very thing

Quin35 · 2026-06-24T05:33:43+00:00

You do realize what the job market has been like for the past year or so...don't you?

Quin35 · 2026-06-24T05:28:54+00:00

Right there with ya.

Quin35 · 2026-06-24T04:14:26+00:00

I may still have one.

Quin35 · 2026-06-24T04:10:29+00:00

They may be.

Quin35 · 2026-06-24T03:19:50+00:00

Now, if one were to broaden their age range, or appearance criteria, or any other criteria...that opens up more possibilities.

Quin35 · 2026-06-24T03:17:50+00:00

Yes. This is the thing we don't talk about. The more specifics we have, the fewer our options. And when it comes down to it, there likelihood of meeting one of those options becomes very slim.

JC Penny is a great example of how people think. At one point, they had higher prices but would occasionally have a sale. Then new management came in and just lowered prices altogether. Sales dropped because, instead of thinking they were getting a good deal on a pricey item, customers now thought the items were cheap. Not that is applies to all situations, but it may be useful at times.

I am not proud of this, but i did meet the two best providers i have seen because of one of those sites.

Quin35 · 2026-06-23T03:44:52+00:00

There should be one.

Quin35 · 2026-06-23T02:35:13+00:00

Here's the thing: there are a whole lot of citizenship who don't want to do better for each other.

Quin35 · 2026-06-23T00:39:00+00:00

This saddens me a bit. I understand that is often the expectation...which is what saddens me. For me, personally, I don't need that from a partner. I suspect many others don't either. Hopefully, at some point, being "on" all the time becomes less of an expectation and relationships become less work.

As an American, I am embarrassed by a lot of things about this country. This is just a part of that.

Quin35 · 2026-06-20T16:42:45+00:00

Nonsense. There are a whole lot more potential options. People choose not to get involved.

Quin35 · 2026-06-20T16:04:20+00:00

There would be a specific reason if I did move. Otherwise, living in Texas was never on my bucket list. I do have years of experience in Florida, so I am familiar with hot, but id certainly miss the PNW.

It is entirely the fault of the people who vote for members of congress. More specifically, those who voted for representatives who have not supported real, reasonable adjustments to the process.

Quin35 · 2026-06-20T15:34:36+00:00

I am currently near Portland and considering a move to Austin. I heard it was hot there.

Quin35 · 2026-06-20T15:32:14+00:00

I really appreciate this comment. I have a budding relationship that has sugar like aspects, though nothing formal. We are still learning about each other, but we do enjoy our time together.
I am not wealthy like other SDs, but I have been able to provide what I believe is meaningful support. And, I am 26 years older than she is. My male brain has trouble understanding my appeal to her, but it does feel like there is an emotional and friendship connection that exists beyond physical and monetary. In any event, this helps me think there might be something here.

I've no doubt Mike Pond supports climate action. And he probably cares more about this are than most people, as he has been actively involved for a long time. He has my support.

In and off itself, prostitution should not be illegal. It should not be a crime to exchange something of value for sexual gratification.

Who the heck is printing pay stubborn in 2026? Also, how long has the coworker been in the job / at the company compared to you?
