With so many ways to skin the kitty, it lacks factual basis so, taken in context, to assert one gets no play because they are unliked here is pretentious. On the other hand, to state the fact I've been around the world, especially in response to such pretentiousness and as a way of saying, "you don't know me"? That's simply fact. No pretense there, boys and girls. BTW, is there any irony in trying to correct one's use of a word with faulty logic?

It says *especially* when exaggerated or undeserved, not *only*. Which means that even if you have been "around the world" just because it's true doesn't mean you're not a douchebag for saying so as if it makes you special. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And this is not to say one "should get their way" or that the other should tolerate being respected or taken advantage of but asking questions is not being entitled and being "read the riot act" because of it is uncalled for, like going into a store with clearly labeled aisles and being chastised for asking a worker where something is located. How about you just answer my question and be glad I'm here to ask it!?

I'm constantly surprised at how upset that makes some ladies. And to the OP's point, any reviews or references anywhere for those that dont have them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes I have such a short vision. This is the first time I've think about the forum in this way. Of course I knew the ladies pay, but I always saw that as part of your business and the forum owners' business. Which is good for all. But that aspect of your money also keeping the forum running was never that explicit in my mind, though, obviously is implicit. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is defiantly not personal. All these ladies will ask you questions to confirm that you are safe and really that is all that is key to getting with one of the ladies. Have fun and enjoy yourself once you are with someone too. Best of luck! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I absolutely understand the ladies' need for safety first and do my best to abide by their protocols, especially when they are kind and thoughtful, like you. However, it seems you're missing the point, which is that a "hobbiest" was "read the riot act" for asking questions of an unknown provider to which I responded in kind but in such a way that it bothered the forum gods (not mods) who, and you know who they are, make it their objective to respond with derision and other not so neighborly approaches to not liking my "writing style". I mean, look at my response to the OP to see what I mean: "Of course, the importance of understanding the landscape and respecting limits is paramount but as a hobbyist, I firmly feel the entitlement issue is quite misguided in that too many (not all!) providers forget, we work hard for the money to enjoy indiscretions.

I'm convinced that for some, it's about making themselves feel better, for others to make brownie points with "the ladies"...whatever. And then there are those such as yourself, @Melissa Sterling and others who take a live and let live approach to things, for which I'm thankful. Thanks again for being you.

Never taking exception to their need for safety, what you saw and correctly interpreted as "anger" was a response to at least some of that derision. Also, the response should have read, "...or that the other (provider) should tolerate being disrespected". Thanks again.
