New categories in men4rentnow: pers. training, housework, handyman and business serv. No pool boy?

[marylander1940]

A local escort just got this email from the mgt. of men4rentnow.com, I wonder if this new categories have to do with the RentBoy effect.

 

This other change certainly had to do with it:

Hi -

 

As we all find new avenues to find one another, I just this week sign up with M4RN and paid $600+ last week for a 6 month ad. This morning I changed one word in my ad... the word "Escort" I changed to "Courtesan"... A much classier word I've been told to believe...

 

They just terminated my account without warning, I can no longer log into my account and it looks like they will be stealing my money. I didn't even know the world "Courtesan" was a bad word. Seems pretty harsh to just close and account without any explanation or a warning or anything. Of course there is no contact number to call and they are not responding to my email requests.

 

So: Does anyone have a phone number I can call?

 

Can anyone recommend any recourse?

 

This does not bode well for this site. There is marketplace opportunity here for them and if this is the type of way they will be conducting business, then they will remain in the second tier of the online advertising business IMHO.

 

Any help?

 

btw, no pool boy? I guess they will add it in after Memorial Day.

Grisette? Cocotte?

[gallahadesquire]

From Wikipedia:

 

grisette:

 

The word grisette (sometimes spelled grizette) has referred to a French working-class woman from the late 17th century and remained in common use through the Belle Époque era, albeit with some modifications to its meaning. It derives from gris, (French for grey), and refers to the cheap grey fabric of the dresses these women originally wore. The 1694 edition of the Dictionnaire de l'Académie française described a grisette as simply "a woman of lowly condition". By the 1835 edition of the dictionary, her status had risen somewhat. She was described as:

 

"a young working woman who is coquettish and flirtatious."[1]

 

This usage can be seen in one of Oliver Wendell Holmes' early poems 'Our Yankee Girls' (1830):

 

"the gay grisette, whose fingers touch love's thousand chords so well...".[2]

 

In practice, "young working woman" referred primarily to those employed in the garment and millinery trades as seamstresses or shop assistants, the few occupations open to them in 19th century urban France, apart from domestic service.[3] The sexual connotations which had long accompanied the word are made explicit in Webster's Third New International Dictionary (1976) which lists one of its meanings as a young woman who combines part-time prostitution with another occupation. Webster's quotes an example from Henry Seidel Canby's 1943 biography of Walt Whitman:

 

"and many years later [Whitman] was still talking to Traubel of the charm of the dusky grisettes who sold love as well as flowers on the streets of New Orleans."[4]

 

Cocotte doesn't translate as well. It seems to include shirred eggs, and I have no idea what they are.

Wondering if there are guys who are in the spectrum of escorts and masseurs who do fitness training with similar benefits/motivations? Is this a thing? If so...I think it would definitely get me in shape. Lol. Or “trainers” of some other type?

 

I think compansu Major is just as important as the HE/ancillary benefits....but a massage isn’t as benefit as someone to get in shape with.

It's called ass covering, they (M4M) started doing it a few months after the RB raid.

 

Here yinz have the other categories, any other suggestions: pool boy?
