Wedding Bells: Lost a client – gained friends
Now what was that old saying about Marriage I so love…. oh yea :
“By all means marry.
If you get a good wife you will become happy and if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher.“
- Socrates -
(Athens Greece BC 469-BC 399)
One of our clients is getting married soon. I hate to lose him as a customer since he’s a great guy who follows the rules, treats our Associates with respect and has never tried to pull any bovine e-coli. Yet, he and his soon to be wife have crossed that line I rarely allow anyone to cross with me in becoming personal friends. This of course means as of last week he and his wife will never be allowed to use Dreams again. I’m not in the habit of getting personal with clients beyond a specific point and for good reason which if you think about it is obvious. ( My friends can not use my service) However every now and again you encounter some genuinely nice souls you take a chance.
His last call was with him and his soon to be wife. The Dreams girl in question was specifically trained for couples encounters and joined them in Atlantic City. As usual the call was great and all parties had a great time. Since then Lou’s fiance Julie has announced she wants to take diving lessons on a regular basis. Of course this is no surprise to me since she’s a repressed Roman Catholic conservative lawyer for various far right Christian political interests.
People like that make me laugh because experience has taught me the more righteous and up tight they are, the harder they fall when you give them a taste of “the dark side”. Score one for our side since she’s been perverted I mean… converted, Julie now is willingly exposing her friends to me. Who knows it may only be a matter of time before you see some fresh faces on the Dreams Escort Service website.

Dinner with them and their friends, which is how I came be at Uno’s was enlightening. There is a saying birds of feather flock together and it is so true. We humans a socialize as a rule with people who share our belief and value systems. What was so interesting was being surround by a group of middle age highly educated professionals (Lawyers, Lobbyists and party people) who live a life of incongruence. Meaning they worked professionally with one set of values but lived something else.
Over time this wears on your Psyche and it occurred to me, no wonder so many people in their circle are unhappy, married 5 times, on Prozac or all of the above. I’m not here to judge just share. Lou, Julie and I have since had this conversation which is why you’re reading it now.
In the end after many glasses of wine (them not me) one of the things they claim they love about me is, my honesty. I say want I mean with few “verbal softeners” and tend not to enable peoples personal bovine e. coli (bull shit). In a sense they love me for being what is lacking in their flock; someone they know who isn’t afraid to tell them the truth or help them see it.
Something I tell my people in orientation and training I’ll now share with you…. “everyone has something to learn from someone“. When you find “you” arrogantly forget that I suggest you sit down and watch Forrest Gump. We are all teachers and we are all students.
Life is a road so be good to your follow travelers and walk in peace ladies and gentlemen.
