    Default Respect

    The greatest joys in life, are more often than not the most simplest of things. Actions, words, while themselves are small in scale, can often have the largest of effects.

    Yesterday was the greatest day I have had in a long time. And as I made my way home, with the biggest grin on my face, I started reminiscing. I started thinking about certain things that were said, those small things that can mean so much.

    Then my mind went off on a slight tangent, and my smile quickly faded away. Respect. It's a curious thing respect. Some people have a great understanding of it, others not so much. Respect is something that should be done automatically, as naturally and organic as breathing. You don't think about it, you just do it, indirectly and subconsciously. Even to those that don't deserve it. That is how you differentiate yourself from them. But we are human and thus we all make mistakes. No one is perfect, especially those who believe that they are.

    Almost 10 years I've been doing this. Even as a newbie when it came to visiting escorts, I always had nothing but respect for them and perhaps more importantly, always respected their boundaries as best I could. But through the years I have heard tales of and seen it myself here of those that haven't any respect. We've seen it a lot recently with the sudden influx of troll and sleeper accounts popping up. Even those non troll accounts, people who take everything for granted. Those that think that negotiating prices is acceptable, those that think that publicly saying "X, Y and Z" about someone or in general is acceptable. Something I have noticed over the years, is that there are those that make assumptions, often dangerous assumptions, about people and things. Assumptions that are based on no foundations whatsoever. Even just taking certain things for granted. Take nothing for granted, take nothing on face value alone. Keep your eyes wide open.

    Maybe it's a sign of the times (a sad one at that), but so many people in general seem to be losing the ability to think with their brains, concerning everything in life. Instead, either not thinking at all or not using the sense they were born with. Then again, maybe some just aren't born with common sense. Respect, so simple a thing and yet so alien to many.

    Nobody is perfect: not me, not you, not anyone. We can only do as best as we are able when it concerns others. Respect is a funny thing, it operates on two levels. On one hand, it's that same thing I've been talking about that you should automatically give to everyone, even if they're not deserving of it. But we all lose our tops sometimes, ranting and raging at people. It's to be expected. As I said, we are but human and no one is perfect. But on the other hand, there's having respect for people.

    Two very different things: showing respect, and having respect. The former should be given by default. The latter, is earned. And the latter, is not for me to talk about. Because having respect works on an individual basis. But showing respect is something that should work as a default to each and every one of us, concerning everything and everyone in life, no matter where you're from, what you do or who you are.

    Having respect is an essential starting point for the most worthwhile experiences here. The best escorts, and the best clients, come from a starting point of a genuine respect for people, and an open-minded true acceptance of the other person's situation.

    Lots of posts here, lots of reviews, and replies to them, accidentally give away the person's true colours. Some don't even try to hide their disdain. There are a few popular top escorts that I have not seen, and will never see, because they let the mask slip on these boards.

    In person, once you get past the brief encounters, people can't hide as much as they think they can.

    I never understood people who think that just because they have paid for something, that it gives them full right to do anything they want. It's a service, and should always be professional and respectful, no matter what job it is.

    The whole "I'm better then you" because they pay you for whatever service always gets me, for all types of jobs. I pay for a cop of coffee and I get the wrong one, doesn't entitle me to berate the person who serve me, or just be dismissive because "they are just doing their job".

    In Danish there is something called "Janteloven" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante), and that might have an affect on how Danish people are in general, but I think it's a good thing. Always treat others like how you want to be treated, because it might be you.
