Non-drinking escorts

[+ AceBanner]

What is your take on an escort who does not drink alcohol?

[leigh.bess.toad]

In some ways, it might be more appealing, because I wouldn't need to worry about someone showing up buzzed or drunk. Not that I've ever had that happen with any of my guys. But really, it wouldn't be an issue for me at all.

[Diverdan]

I agree with Lee... not an issue at all. There are many reasons why people don't drink, and I would rather be with someone who does not drink than with someone who cannot control what they imbibe!

"Well shit, how am I going to get that roofy in his system now?"

Cool...I was hoping that would be the case. Thanks!

[seeker630]

Non-issue.

Sorry AB to be the odd man out, but my daddy always said, "I don't trust a man who doesn't drink"

[+ AceBanner]

And I wonder why that is? Why do people not trust somebody who doesn't drink? Does it feel like judgement?

A non-isuue!!!!!

Ace it was meant as a joke mostly, and I am sorry I did not initially answer your post seriously. My Dad grew up in the south and was born and raised in a very rural area, so it is one of those sayings that no one took literally, but said all the time anyway. Hope you understand, I certainly did not mean it to be taken seriously, since I assumed everyone had heard that before.

 

At any rate....to answer you question seriously now, I would say that I could care less whether or not someone drinks or not. I always have a glass of wine at dinner and one after dinner, but if the escort doesn't drink, I that is his prerogative, so long as he doesn't lecture me on having a glass of wine.

 

The same way I do not judge or lecture if an escort wants to step out to have a smoke. For me those are all personal choices and it is each to his own as far as I am concerned. Hope this clears things up. Cheers, BVB

I was actually glad to hear a dissenting voice in a way, so thanks for the exchange. I haven't had any issues at all with it booking clients, but I was just curious. It does seem like some people are threatened with it if you don't and I'm curious as to why. Being from the South, I have certainly heard that old adage about not trusting somebody if they don't drink. Although in jest, most sayings like that are founded in truth. This seems to be a thoughtful group, so thought I'd get some insight. Thanks!

I always took this "old" saying as meaning that to be a "regular" person, one had to participate in regular activities. That can mean a lot of things to various folks. Generally I prefer "light drinking" to no drinking or certainly heavy drinking, although I am not sure who would admit to the latter.

 

In a very general sense, I also agree that smoking is a personal decision. However, I do not ordinarily hire any such. After all, this works "both ways".

 

One thing that struck me about more than one of these posts and that is the characterization that one is "from" the South. I was brought up in the South and still live there so, am I "from" the South or do I merely have the ideals highly regarded in the South in my upbringing?

 

Best regards,

KMEM

I will not judge an escort for not drinking if he escort does not judge a client for drinking responsible.

[+ AceBanner]

It never bothers me to have somebody drink responsibly with me. In fact, I hate knowing a person is NOT drinking just because I'm not. I know most do it out of respect, but it also lets me know they aren't completely comfortable with me yet.

 

As for being from the South, I don't think you have to live below the Mason-Dixon to be have Southern ideals. I do think it helps to understand how things work and the pace of life down here, though. I know plenty of good Yankees who move down here and are fine people but are driven nuts by the way things work!!

I agree, but I also hate it when I get one of those mini-lectures from an escort about why he is not drinking. It's like the 'vegan' who wants to lecture me when I order a steak. As long as the person just simply says that they prefer not to drink, then I am good with that. I left my cell phone at a restaurant once after dinner with an escort. I had all of two glasses of wine over the course of the evening, and he immediately said, something to the effect, see what happens when you drink. OK that didn't sit too well with me...lol

 

I will say also that we Southerners love to talk about Southern Ideals, and there is some truth to all of that, but I have always believed that there are good and decent people all over this country. We do maintain, at least from my perspective, a little "better than thou" attitude when we talk about ideals. I do it all the time. Part in jest, but part serious, and will routinely tease my friends about being Northerners. Like being able to hold your liquor is some kind of virtue...lol lol

 

At any rate, a very interesting thread...

[+ AceBanner]

LOL...if it weren't for Southern Baptists there would be no liquor stores in the South!!

[BaronArtz]

I stopped drinking alcohol 3 years ago and never felt better. I would highly value an escort who doesn't drink, I think it's a positive.

[Toulouse]

It's a non-issue to me too, as long as the escort hasn't been drinking immediately prior to our session. I've had one guy show up at my place smelling as if he had spent the entire day at Bourbon Pub (though he didn't appear drunk).

[leigh.bess.toad]

Or don't work, as the case often is.

Now that is the "gospel" truth....

Winston Churchill once said "Never trust a man without a single redeeming vice".That could be the origin of that quote - or maybe Churchill stole it. :-)

[+ AceBanner]

Quite possible...I think Churchill and Confucius coined all expressions, right?....LOL

[Guest countryboywny]

I've been known to take the occasional sip of alcohol from time to time...

 

I want the escort to be comfortable so if he chooses to imbibe, fine, if he chooses not to, fine. It's never been an issue for me.

[Steven_Draker]

I agree, but I also hate it when I get one of those mini-lectures ...

 

Your point is well taken. We all choose our own "church" ... no need for preaching holiness here.

I forget what place was described as the epitome of Southern efficiency and Northern charm.
