I appreciate thoughtful correspondence that reflects genuine interest rather than copied templates. Your first message should demonstrate that you've taken time to explore my website, read my journal entries, and understand what makes our potential time together special.

Include details about yourself - not just the logistics, but what draws you to me specifically. I'm drawn to people who understand that anticipation is part of the experience, who take pleasure in crafting a proper introduction.

Please share your name, your location, and your vision for our time together. Are you hoping for dinner conversation that stretches late into the evening? A gallery opening followed by wine? A long weekend escape? The more thoughtfully you present yourself, the more excited I become about the possibility of meeting you.

I typically respond within 24 hours to messages that demonstrate genuine interest and attention to detail. Rushed or generic inquiries rarely receive replies - not out of rudeness, but because they suggest we might not be the right match for each other.

I believe in genuine connection built on mutual trust and transparency. To ensure our comfort and safety, I require real-world verification that allows me to know who I'm spending time with.

Please provide your full legal name, age, current occupation, and the company where you work. If you're self-employed, include details about your business. I appreciate when you share your company's website and your LinkedIn profile - these help me understand your professional world and often lead to more interesting conversation.

While references from other companions can be a lovely addition to your introduction, they're not required and I don't screen based solely on references. I prefer to get to know you directly through our correspondence and the professional information you share.

I understand that discretion matters tremendously in both our worlds. All information shared during screening remains completely confidential and is never discussed with anyone else. I simply need to feel confident about who I'm meeting before we move forward with planning our time together.

This process isn't about judgment - it's about creating a foundation of trust that allows us both to be completely present when we meet. The most memorable encounters happen when two people can focus entirely on each other, without any underlying concerns about safety or authenticity.

A 25% deposit is required to secure our time together and is completely non-negotiable. This demonstrates mutual commitment and allows me to decline other opportunities while holding our date.

For the time being, I accept deposits via Venmo, Bitcoin, or select gift cards. Please ensure your chosen payment method is set up and functional.

Deposits are non-refundable once sent, with the exception being if I need to cancel our plans. In that unlikely event, your deposit will be returned immediately with my sincere apologies. However, cancellations on your part - regardless of timing or circumstances - result in forfeiture of the deposit.

Late or partial deposits cannot be accepted, as they disrupt my scheduling process. I recommend sending your deposit within 24 hours of our initial agreement to secure your preferred date and time. Clear communication about payment expectations from the start allows us both to focus on the anticipation of meeting rather than logistical concerns.

I'm delighted to travel for the right gentleman and circumstances. Since I don't tour or maintain a regular travel schedule, FMTY arrangements are the only opportunity to meet me outside of New York City.

For East Coast destinations, I require a minimum engagement of six hours, which allows us enough time to settle into each other's company and create something truly memorable.

For destinations throughout the rest of the United States, overnight bookings are my minimum, as the travel investment deserves proper time together.

International FMTY requires a minimum of 48 hours - anything shorter simply doesn't justify the logistics involved.

A 50% deposit is required to secure any travel arrangement, along with first-class airfare and accommodations at a five-star property. I believe in traveling beautifully, and these standards ensure I arrive refreshed and excited rather than exhausted from travel complications.

I handle all my own travel arrangements to ensure everything meets my preferences and standards. Please provide your preferred dates well in advance, as my FMTY calendar fills quickly and I limit these engagements to maintain their special nature.

Travel brings out something wonderful in both of us - the excitement of a new city, the luxury of uninterrupted time, the romance of somewhere beautiful together. These extended encounters often become the most cherished memories, and I approach each one with the attention and care it deserves.

I find online reviews of any kind to be deeply distasteful and completely antithetical to the intimate, private nature of what we share together. Our encounters are personal experiences, not services to be rated or publicly discussed.

The type of gentleman I choose to spend time with would never consider reading reviews about companions, let alone writing them. The very concept suggests a transactional mindset that has no place in authentic connection. What we create together exists in the space between us - it isn't content for public consumption or comparison shopping.

I'm drawn to men who understand that discretion isn't just about protecting identities, but about preserving the sanctity of private moments. The magic of our time together would be diminished if either of us treated it as material for evaluation or recommendation.
