Should I say Hi out side of the hobby??

61 posts in this topic

Let me put the shoe on the other foot guys: What if a lady recognized you? Would you want HER to say hi?

No. A very quick smile as we walk past each other is fine. We can catch up later in private.

I have yet to recognize anyone (Gentleman or Lady) but if I did, I would be very aware of both of our surroundings before I made a gesture or flashed a smile. I would never want to disrespect anyone's personal space/life and I would hope the same for me.

Macho, your posts are sometimes silly and annoying, but this one is a treasure!

Macho, I think you should get the TOB 2015 Award For Humor previously held by Boink.

Your posting border between comic genius and alcohol infused nonsense.

I enjoy reading your posts despite the difficulty in comprehension.:P

I glad a few people around here have a true appreciation for art.

You know since you mentioned it I can honestly say old Mr X and Megan Rae. Are the funniest in my opinion. Have you ever seen Amy Schumer. Well I can't stand her. She is about as funny George Lopez. Anyways It seems like the was a thing about women not being funny. Well Megan Rae changed my thinking. And it's has nothing to do with boobs.

Last summer I had someone (who I had not met) recognize me at FedEx. When I stepped outside he called out my name: Justina. :eek: and started talking to me about "how he has yet to reach out to me but has been meaning to."

I immediately became aware of my surroundings and the fact that anyone who may have been in the parking lot could hear him. He later sent me an email profusely apologizing for his error.

I have yet to recognize anyone (Gentleman or Lady) but if I did, I would be very aware of both of our surroundings before I made a gesture or flashed a smile. I would never want to disrespect anyone's personal space/life and I would hope the same for me.

I had the same thing happen to me. Once in a tavern where I was visiting with old high school friends. The guy seemed a little intoxicated, and would just not let up chasing me around, yelling, "Holly". Yikes!

All good advice. However, I ran in to one up in Denver one day, I was with my [snip} , she spotted me and ran over threw her arms around me and gave me a big hug. I was like..."ah, er...ah... honey this is my friend bubbles larue.." I forget what name I used for her but I about croaked on the spot.

The hug was nice though.

At a going away party for one of my co-workers, his date was a provider I had seen a couple of times. And I was sitting there with my wife! I'm not sure she actually recognized me, but I was suddenly aware that my friend and I shared more than just a fondness for Baseball and golfing!

Best part was that my wife commented on how pretty my co-workers date was and I had to play dumb (easy to do!) and act like I had not noticed!

How do you know if he actually paid for that pussy? Maybe he found her on one of those internet dating sites; ehormany, match.com, or backpages.

I'm not sure if I shared my opinion ,but if I was with family or friends and an escort came up to me that Ive seen and gave me hug I would flip the fuck out. I would drop the W-bomb. If it was my ATF though I would explain to them this is my new girlfriend try to kiss her maybe even grab her ass.

On Second thought, I would smile and say hello! And ask how are you? And maybe tell her to have a great day! Pretty innocent conversation. However I would NOT mention any names! No need to out anyone, but just be friendly and then maybe next time you meet her in private, you would have little more to talk about!

That can turn into a very awkward situation.... Its happened to me once and I'll never forget it. I was in Walmart with my friend and he's yelling my hobby name at me and I was like ....... omg. Had to explain he must have had me mistaken for someone else and my friend thinking its funny told everyone when we got back. Holy crap! Please just ignore me in public LOL

I wonder how the girls feel about this

I have seen one of my favorite providers a few times at the store, she is by her self and I was by myself. Should I say HI? or should I do as I have done and just keep walking and not say anything?

Just curious

My rule of thumb: No. Keep right on truckin.' Also, please do not run your cart directly into hers in order to see if she noticed you. No sexual innuendos featuring vegetables in produce either. If she spots you and is interested in initiating contact she will make that perfectly clear. If you are so inclined, you may respond. Period.

I once sat for some time at an airline gate and boarded the same flight with a gal with whom I had had many sessions. She was travelling in the company of two other women. I'm not exactly indistinctive. She is very pretty and as I sat down in the gate area, I noticed "pretty girl" a split second before my mind registered who she was and just about that time she spied me. A long second of eye contact from her, but no facial tell, after the "I recognize you" look, Nothing. I was part of the furniture for her and she for me. Subsequently, neither of us ever brought it up.

I think it kind of depends on the relationship and situation of those involved. If you are close friends and you know for fact that she is not married or with anyone then I would think it is ok, but in the same sentence, you never truly know as this hobby is fantasy for a lot of participants :-)

I would totally play this by gut instinct. Never has failed me yet. Every situation warrants different reactions. I would first make sure that she/he is alone before I said anything. One time I was grocery shopping and saw a longtime client with wifey. When she was occupied

looking at something on the shelf, I went on pass them in the aisle and gave him a discreet little wink. Later he told me he appreciated it, and also the fact that I was discreet about it. As it should be.

Ok. A corollary question regarding outside contact.

About 6 months ago I was at a bar tossing back a few. Alone. I saw a group of 4 pretty ladies at a table across the room, giggling and having a good time. Normally this would attract any red-blooded American male's attention. But then, I realized that 2 of the 4 were providers I'd seen. I wrestled with the thought of buying the table a round of drinks. Finally chickened out because I didn't know the other 2 ladies. I left without being noticed.

What is the opinion if the group here. Should I have bought a round? Or did I do the right thing.

I went back & forth on this. Back in the day I would say buy the round & treat it as a single guy hitting on four pretty women: strangers until they say otherwise.

But do guys still do that (buy women drinks in a bar)? And how do women feel about drinks from strangers? I've been out of the singles game for too long.

{It's scary trying to figure out how to date these days.}

In this situation after you see the waitstaff taking their order,

Call the waitstaff individual over & state that you are now leaving, but would like to pay for the drinks.

Then escape into the night to never be seen or heard from again....

I was going to just let this go but I cant. Let me get this straight. You are going to buy the girl that your eyeballing a drink. But at the same time you are going to runaway into the night. You know I get it. Like am I the only one who finds this extremely offenseiv? I mean girls deserve flowers, free drinks and stuff. But I mean if your going to do at least point at the non-escort and kind of point at her like if your hand is a six shooter. Then kind of shooter so they at least now it was you. Then if it seems like they might be having it. Then head on down hit on the ugliest one who is a non-escort. Try your hardest to ignore the escorts and make them jealous. Then ????????. And Bamn you pretty much own them.

My bet would be that all 4 of them were escorts, out for a girls-night-out.

I don't see anything wrong with it, however me as a provider I'm not going to take the initiative to come say hi to you first. I'll leave that up to the clientele just for the simple fact that I don't consider my clients just my client some of them are my friends as well. so if you feel like you want to say hi to me in public I'm not going to be rude I'll still say hi back how are you etc and make small talk but still keep it within the boundaries of discretion.

I'm sorta on same page as Bit. These days, I won't buy someone a drink until I've talked to them a while or know. Mostly because, I'm in old creepy guy territory/age, and even when was younger and good looking, how often did the drink bit really work?

And same basic situation as meeting on street. Gotta be real careful what you say. In the drink example, two might be ASPs and know it, other two, not and have no idea what the other's do.

And if you frequent the establishment often, the staff there might have an idea what those ladies do. Seen that, bartender makes mention about "the hooker over there..." (This was in a nice place downtown). You now become a story for the staff, "Remember the time Ole Bob went after the table of hookers?".

Had reverse happen once, and a little uncomfortable explaining why the hottie a few seats down with her SO is picking up my check.

Yeah, that was my thought, too. On the one hand, I wanted to say "thanks" to the ladies I'd seen. On the other, I didn't want to be discussed as a guy with bad manners by a table full of professionals.

It's so hard to do the right thing these days.

What is wrong with you!!!???

Four ladies at one table and you did not make a move??? Grow a pair. This would have been the perfect opportunity for a five-some. You already knew 2 of the 4 to break the ice. Gez, I can't believe you passed this up...:P

It's actually funny; a favorite of mine happened to move in down the block from me a few years back and I'd run into her quite often around town as well as from time to time up in Black Hawk.

We decided to come up with a cover story whereby she told me a name by which I should address her and she came up with a backstory where she'd know me. :D

I think it's pretty hot to see a client out in public.... Sometimes I get a hello, other times just a wink.

I will introduce her to everybody who happened to be around and recommend her , assuming se will not punch me in the face earlier.

Having said that , I saw few in Cherry creek mall and didn't say or gesture.

Discretion is the better part of valor. Always remember that BOTH Provider and Client have invested a lot in remaining anonymous. A simple smile with eye contact is plenty in public. Feel free to contact via your usual electronic device after the sighting to discuss appropriate greeting scenarios.

Thats the best practice, unless of course either of you are wkth someone.

I have become "friends" with an out of town provider that I met on business trips. She started coming to Denver and we'll always hit the town hard one night and get hammered when she is here. Not gonna lie, it changed our customer/provider relationship but the friendship is worth it and she's introduced me to some really cool people I normally would not have likely crossed paths with.

I once almost ran into boink at the boat dock after Fishing one day;

BuT decided not to say Hello account I didn't want to make him feel bad,

my catch was both larger in number and in size

and I hated to see poor boinky cry......
