Shocking, why do people take on jobs that they clearly don't understand? I would always get some help or pass the job on if I was at all unsure or If I know I wasn't experienced enough

problem is mark

these characters have no work and will take a punt at anything that pays

ironicly if they set up as male escorts they could do the same thing as they are doing to their customers and get paid for it
