Have any of you actually tried it?
[QUOTE=DiscreteCasual;4921289]Read the forum and use the search button.[/QUOTE]Out of curiosity, I searched the terms "Wilkins" and "Tim's". Do you all have any idea how much bullshit comes back? Every post where the words are used comes up. So If I mention I drove down Wilkins. It shows up. Say you took a girl to Tim's. It shows up. Now ask yourselves. If you were a newb and searched these terms for the info he is seeking, where the fuck would you start? How do you navigate through that? Knowing what he is trying to find out, how helpful will a search be and will it take him forever? Do you all realize you may never find what you are looking for, or literally spend days reading meaningless posts? If someone is looking for info on a specific girl, search works. If you have been following along and need to be pointed to something you vaguely remember, search can help. But telling new people to search a large forum that has been around for YEARS, using commonly used words is fucking stupid. A lot of the searches need context or involve words too commonly and broadly used to conduct a meaningful search. If you don't want to help, then just don't respond. But the dumb ass "search the forum" responses are unnecessary. I know it's often case by case, but maybe we should ask ourselves the feasibility of the searches we suggest.
Just ask yourselves, if I searched that term myself, what would come back and would it be helpful. Geesh.
I can kinda see both sides of this one, but.
[QUOTE=BusterHymen55;4923531]Very valid and good points, HeadLuvr...but I think the smart aleck responses are mainly because here lately it seems like this forum (particularly the Baltimore Sections of SW and Escort) is littered with newbies trying to get dates, digits, details, and any other pertinent information without having to put in the work themselves. And most of the time they have like anywhere from 0 - 6 posts and just joined very recently. It's not fair that a handful of us are putting time, effort, and work in the field and then report back only to have some free loader take advantage of the fruits of our labor. Not only newbies but some so-called "senior" members as well who have like 90+ posts and have been on here for several years but the vast majority of their posts are "Is she legit?" or "does anyone have info on this provider?" . They're no better than the newbies themselves. Same exact thing. People just trying to game the system. But I digress, that is probably not the case here but you can certainly understand why some people get annoyed very easily and hence the smart ass answers.[/QUOTE]I do lean toward feeling this way myself, to be honest. Though I kinda get the other side too.
Yeah I know. I have a low post count and all that, but many (15+) years ago I was a regular on here and had a different username, and I put in my share. That was after I got personally called out by a user (who has since left this Earth) for asking dumb noobish questions. I was annoyed at him at the time, but he was right to call me out. After that I started reading the forum reports more carefully, paying attention, and figuring things out. After that I submitted reports and became a contributor. Simple. That's how it works.
I get annoyed with the "Hey guys, can anyone tell me a good place to go" or "Anyone got digits to share?" posts from new people because what these guys don't seem to get is that if the experienced, senior guys were to respond to each and every one of those requests in the way the poster wanted, that would eat up an unreasonable amount of time and only encourage people to not bother reading the forum for themselves. Is that fair? Is it fair to expect a senior guy to come on here to report on one of his latest experiences, only to have to respond to requests from new guys for information he's probably already shared a dozen times? Maybe I'm just an old grump, but I'm not a fan of repeating myself when it only takes a few minutes for someone to read the info for themselves in the first place.
That said, the search function isn't that helpful for the reasons given previously. OK fair enough, but it still isn't that hard to narrow the search to the last month or so. It doesn't take long to get the context that Tim's is a notel, and then just put the name into your web browser and search for the place. It isn't hard.
Apologies for the long winded reply.
29 years old or 27 years old CeCe on Payson WW Loop
I was out earlier and I spotted this cutie. She had on a cute outfit and tan legs. Once inside the truck I notice some battle scars. Looked to be at one time she was probably gorgeous. I made the call not to date and she hopped out. Did I dodge a bullet or miss out on a good time?
You passed on Cece? Really.
