In the future, I'm going to write about the "Hierarchy of Harlots" that I've thought about in the past. We're all the same. And just because someone (or myself) won't do x,y and z (and frankly, there is a lot of x,y and z that I will NOT do!) doesn't really make us all that different.



Best,

Which of you would advertise to give service for $650 advanced cash they needed to rent an apartment and would trade out a visit of one hour each till paid off and offer $125 per hour session forever after that? ... And then never answer back by text, phone, email or PM?
A well known provider offered it and I took the bait. But never seen her before or after.

Would any of you screw someone over like that?

I've battered vehicle repairs with providers before, they all worked out great and it's all completed the same day unless repairs exceed donation amount they will pay me the difference. They appreciate the quick service and more importantly the $aving$

I'd barter for a car.

I'd be very interested in a regular barter for some handyman stuff around my house. Maybe someone retired or self employed with a flexible schedule to change out a faucet, recaulk some windows, hang curtains, etc etc.
It would be a great exchange.
Hmm might need to post this myself, where.. Here?? ISO?

Just a thought.

I'd love to share what I would barter for!!! (It's a long list!)

I really don't think that most men realize how tough it is for single females to DO some of the things that you've listed.

Just this week, I'm having a client fix my backyard fence/door for me. He's a carpenter and the fix is pretty simple. It's just that I don't have the tools (literally and figuratively) to fix these things myself. And for a little bit of a trade? He's thrilled with it and so am I.

I had to have some help hanging curtains a few months ago. My client/friend just loved it when I handed him a hand drill and asked for help. For some reason, if you hand a man (ANY man) a drill of some sort, he comes alive.

Could we have as slight thread drift? What IS IT about power tools, especially the more safe ones like hand drills, that causes men to just smile and enjoy the thought of nailing things into the wall?

I never quite got the idea of why tools are so appealing to men, in general.
I think it's a great idea, EW. Brings a new edge to the hobby.

Not quite my style, however the Role play would be uncharted and hardly dull.

I would gladly barter handy man work for a nice home cooked meal, good company, or snuggle on the couch. New Wife Experience. NWE.
