Doesn't look too good when you get to your date riding the bus and bring them back to your two bedroom apartment that you share with two roommates including one who's got their bed in the livingroom!

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Just lie. "I am having my apartment re-gilded"
Hotels
Not even all that expensive either, especially for the chain "premium" hotels like Leonardo or Marriott or Village or whatever.
Turn up smart, look tired, ask for a room and ask for "the corporate rate, because I need to claim it back on expenses" or some shit.
A £180 or £200 per night suddenly because available for £70-90... if they have any availablity of course. There's a wild markup on hotel room prices.
That's not how it works at all. There's no secret words to get a lower price. The best possible scenario is an upgrade if you have status at the hotel, and that isn't even guaranteed. Hotels charge businesses a lot of money.
Nobody's mentioning a secret word at all.
Sure, if the demand is there, then hotels charge whatever they like - if Taylor Swift is performing, or if it's a Champions League final, or a convention is on, for example - but for evenings of high availability, there's an understanding that businesses can't justify ridiculous expenditure.
Certainly with my last few employers - one of which had their own travel cell, and otherwise used outsourced travel providers likes the Hogg Robinson Group - each country had a maximum rate you could charge back to the employer on expenses depending on country, or sometimes depending on city based on the granularity of your company's policy.
Hotel chains (and some of the more flexible independent hotels or B&B's) know this, and are more than happy to give the room away at that rate - I suspect the cancellation terms are a lot harsher though.
I've certainly called hotels ahead of time, told them what my employer would pay for a room without my expenses report being subject to automatic audit, and they've dropped the price from £140 to £80 a night.
I would imagine that so long as there's a category for that available on the receptionist's till, then they're not bothered how much a room is sold for so long as it's sold.
Slightly more ethical than the average Instagram Influenza selling their shill skills to the highest paying brand, anon is a not-for-sale bastard!
I'm so using influenza from now on, if that was intentional it's gold!
They require human victims to thrive and they make you feel bad
That is so much time and money for nudes and a few hook ups.
Yeah he should devote more time to 4chan and masturbate to nudes NOT sent to him
This is actual reality. Fake it till you make it. Many are in positions of success only apparently. The rich with resources do the same. The limit is an ethical one and you set it yourself.
Pretty sure we've had a recent president who did exactly this.
even wanked off to a few photos sent by bots.
