Thank you for sharing your story. Good decision, because the longer you stay, the less likely the first statement above is to remain true. It's a slow rewiring of the rewards and attachment networks in the brain. I wouldn't even factor in cost here. Real friendship and love are a source of...

Est-ce que les snobinards de l'alimentation se sont remis de l'attribution, la semaine dernière, des étoiles du Guide Michelin?

$4,000 is about three weeks of salary (before tax) for the average worker. Is that a better analogy?

Are there going to be some among them who will complain about the high cost of living a few weeks later?

In theory, yes, for a less wealthy client. I checked the overnight rate of my favourite indy on Tryst, and it is $4,000. That's roughly equivalent to two and a half months of rent on a one bedroom apartment in Montreal. I think the numbers speak for themselves.

Regarding the intensity of smells... There are different kinds of "perfume", in increasing order of intensity (and cost): eau de toilette (typically found at $20 on the cover of the Jean Coutu flyer). light floral smells. pleasant. eau de parfum parfum (the one that will linger in the room...

"Those who are sensible [rational] about love are incapable of it." -Robert H. Frank

I used to, but I stopped, not because I want to be impolite, but because the "thank you note" and the -xoxo- etc. intensified the illusion that what I was experiencing was genuine intimacy. The usual salutations at the door now suffice.

Yes, once. I felt like I was with a school principal (not a naughty one, lol). Zero chemistry. On top of that, it was a hot a humid day and I was not feeling so well. That gave me an excuse to cancel the session, in exchange of a reasonable fee for the driver's time.

Same here. Argh! lol

Oui.

I swear this is true. I just saw a woman throw garbage from her apartment balcony onto the ground. Not sure what, but it was solid. Those of you on X might have seen how uncivilized behavior is now widespread across the country. I'm all for tolerance, but to what extent should we be tolerant the...

As it pertains to merb, I believe that most of our disagreements are generational (i.e. younger members vs older members). More specifically, there are studies that show that younger men, on average, have more positive attitutes towards younger women than older men do. In my experience, this...

Less nice the next day when you see that you bank account dropped by X thousand dollars ;) Personally I don't recommend it.

Can you name all the Teletubbies (without checking)?

Sending a greeting card by mail is an extremely thoughtful and meaningful gesture in this day and age. I recommend it to everyone.

That's gonna be a big one but think about it for a moment... Apps suck. Yes, apps. Applications on your phone. Why does everything now need to be "app-based"? Every time we (supposedly) remove the "friction", we lose a little bit of our human-ness.

The smell of marijuana smoke is putrid. I hate it! It's a real public nuisance because of how pungent it is and of how far the smell travels. This is brought to you by the woman who was smoking a joint on a park bench literally next to the sign that said "no smoking", which included the...

Interesting to note as well than men are increasingly and substantially affected by these exagerrated beauty standards, whether it has to do with hair loss, shape of the jaw line, biceps, etc.

Did you learn to stay away from Leolist too, in the process, to avoid all these "bait and switch" and bad experiences?
