Well, I guess I'm talking about mother tongue. Kinshasa and Abidjan have French as their administrative language but the general population use their native tongues to converse with each other. The use of French is a vertical means of communication, typical of colonial societies in the developing world. 

In Quebec the French were the colonizers and the natives became a very small proportion of the population and their languages disappeared more or less. One can't compare Paris and Montreal on the one hand with Kinshasa and Abidjan on the other, imo.

I share your scepticism, and the article I looked at this time was loose in its language. In the case of Abidjan it referred specifically to its French speaking population, and for Kinshasa it was less specific. It ignores whether people have French as their first or second language or are truly bilingual. I suspect there are similar ambiguities over Francophone and Anglophone Montrealers but I take your point.

I don't know enough about Francophone Africa and the language dynamics, probably different in capitals and the countryside. The closest comparison that I have any better idea about would be South Africa, where I think Cape Town and Johannesburg amongst others qualify as English speaking cities even though African languages are spoken by many of the people. Both cities are melting pots for different language groups in the country and English is a first language for some and a lingua franca for many of the rest. (I am cheekily including Afrikaans with the African languages.)

I've never been to Africa but met African diplomats in my career from places like the Cote d'Ivoire, Central African Republic, and other French speaking countries. We conversed in French as their English often wasn't very fluent. These people were from the elites of their societies and not representative of the general population.

Europe and North America have such higher standards of education, which is tied in with literacy and language, that making comparisons between cities in the one group with the other is not meaningful, imo.

Let's just say, I am very well aware of said "drama" that @marylander1940 is alluding to. However, I think it's been some time now since he and that former client had interactions, so I don't think the topic would really be brought up in sessions he would have with new clients.

From my experience (granted this was 2020), he was great. Relatable, great pounder, and just a chill guy to hang out with. Did not experience or see any 'PNP' type of instances with him - he was very alert and engaged when I had the session with him. If he visited DC again, I wouldn't mind having another session or just to grab coffee with him.

In the afterglow is when he started to talk about all of ish and later by text.

I started this thread because I was interested in the profile of France_Rocks. I have a soft spot for Frenchmen as I was raised in Montreal, the second largest French speaking city in the world, French is my second language, I have had French boyfriends and some of the best sex with them in my life.

I see that this escort incites some passions because of his alleged attraction to PNP. There seem to be people who know him and others who know his reputation. I only am persuaded by those who have actually met him. Enuff said.

He's Colombian.
