I do still know why this is a backpage review section
[QUOTE=DogFood;1866068]Good point MS, and also keep in mind that you are not only dealing with that provider, but the people she lives with and her SO. We both became friends with a case in point. On her own, in my opinion she was honest and she always tried to protect me from the people she lived with. But get her around them and she turned into someone else. Alot have bfs, think about it, the girls can make $ selling themselves, but how do their bfs make money, stealing and scamming people for money. The girls themselves reach a desperation point that makes them do things not in their best interest. I had a girl tell me one time that when she is sick, she would be willing to line up 20 guys behind her and charge each one a buck a piece just to not feel that way. Actually sounds like a pretty good deal, but I would want to be first in line. Now I have got to check on line and read the fable of the frog and the scorpion. LOL DF[/QUOTE]I see little reviews, mostly discussion, I have only left a couple. WTF, it is called a review section. No q&a. No bitching about newbies. No questions, just leave a review!
Upfront, always has, always will be
[QUOTE=The Dough Boy; 1865307]In my recent reading I did find some posts regarding donations but I was looking for a little more insight.
The debate I was reading about (I think its in the Homework thread) was whether to pay in advance or after service were rendered. I always thought that it was cash up front and this is how I conducted business in my very limited experience. So is paying after a new trend. Is this something SP's are OK with?
My other question is how to handle the initial discussion with a new SP. When you first come into the room who makes the first move or brings up business first. Is it customary for me to just pull out the cash and set it down or do I wait for a cue from the SP?
How / when do we discuss services / menu / rules? I have also seen posts saying get the details before and after money is laid out. This kind of ties in with the question above. Who blinks first? If I don't lay out the money I would think SP is going to be reluctant to discuss services and if she is not willing to talk menu first then do I want to lay out money?
I acknowledge that if its a sting LE will likely "take me down" regardless but I still want to be cautious and develop my routine and stick with it until I become comfortable with the donation process. Or is it just always an anxious moment no matter what when you're with a new acquaintance?
Any input appreciated.[/QUOTE]The title says it all! These gals. Won't even say hi without it! Period. And don't listen to these Billie bad ass want to best that said,"I wasn't happy, so I took half back "! Never happened! If you get f over, you leave peaceful, because a 100 bucks ain't worth your life. As far as LE stings, the minute you show up, after responding to an add for sex, they got you on "intent " regardless. Just like on Chris handsons to catch a predictor, INTENTION is ENOUGH for an arrest
This forum is what we make of it
[QUOTE=The Dough Boy; 1866444]I understand your point but I must say there is definitely a need for a discussion board. Not sure if we should add one and separate it from this forum or what, I guess that is up to the mods. If there was a discussion board would it get the support of the senior mongers that visit this forum?
I will say in the short time I have been here I have gotten some priceless tips. I didn't know about Googling phone #'s or image searches (or what to make of this info). I was unsure what to look for in ads and have picked up some tips on how to handle encounters such as checking the room, and dealing with donations, etc.
FWIW: I hope to be able to submit reviews as I see more women but for now I also need some coaching to get me to that point.
Mods: please let me know if I am to stop submitting questions. I want to be in compliance w board rules. If that is the case please consider opening a discussion board.
TDB[/QUOTE]Don't let the haters get your goat. The mods won't weigh in on this unless the thread really gets derailed by some kind of drama. This is exactly where you should be posting your questions when they relate to BP advertisers. SW questions belong in the SW thread, and so on. If this forum maintained the kind of strict content purity that some seem to want, and it consisted of nothing more than a daily report of who stuck what into whom for how much $$, I would never have stayed around long enough to become a senior member.
Members in other forum locales have done a lot more with the flexibility of the site model than we have here in Michigan. If you really want to start a separate thread for non-review material, you can do that. It seems like the mongers around here are just more casual about blending the reporting and the discussion.
