Avoiding money trouble with providers
This is a reaction to DNut's post in the review section, so I figured since this isn't a review I would place it in the Octagon.
[QUOTE=DNut;2940718]There really is a simple solution to situations like this. We, as a collective group, have to agree not to see a specific provider until the debt has been paid. Collectively, we have the Power of the Purse. Our cash is legal tender all over the world, and with it we can buy goods and services. A provider's power is in her pussy. It's not legal tender and can't be used to purchase goods and services. By making the pussy useless until the situation has been resolved, we can apply a sense of urgency for them to make it right.
So, even though I had considered seeing Cristen Cremes, until Mike178 gets satisfaction, she and her duo partner, Heavenly Angel, is off limits to me. That's my Monger-to-Monger pledge.[/QUOTE]This is a disciplined and level-headed method for screening your fun dates. I could not agree more. The thing I do is treat this forum much like an investment letter. If I am going to spend my hard-earned money on a provider, I really need to make sure you're S&P 500 material. Consistent reviews, obvious self-management skills, dependability, good return on investment. Etc. All of these factors, and more, play into my consideration for a date. Actually, safety is the top factor for me, which is why follow a strict screening process for who I go see.
If I hear one word about cash-and-dash, that provider is dead to me until I hear significant numbers of reviews to the contrary. But that doesn't usually happen. Once a cash and dash has occurred and has been noted by a reliable monger, you can be pretty certain that individual is going into the downward spiral 99% of the time. Stay away; there are plenty of fish in the sea.
I would also add location to the list of necessary screening elements. If your location is sketchy, looks insecure or crappy, has a lot of undesirables around, is a magnet for LE, I don't bother. I'll wait till your situation improves. If the location is upgraded, it's usually because the provider has her shit together and is making better money due to an improved business strategy.
These are simply ways to minimize the risk to yourself and your money. But money is all you lose in a bad investment in the stocks and bonds world. In this hobby, a bad investment can get you in much direr straits. Some examples of the providers I think fit the S&P mold are Sandy, Sydney Moore, Velvet, Silky, JennaDaytonCL, and EE's service. Remmy was on the list; holy shit do I miss that woman! Grace May probably fits the bill, but I've only seen her once and I'm going to play cautious and make sure a few more good reviews come for a few weeks before I see her again. See, it's all about discipline! For those of you who are new to this hobby, I will stress discipline and sober choices as being of paramount importance.
All of this being said, there is no way to prevent risk 100%. But, my track record has been good. I've taken a couple risks here and there in my day, but I've avoided cash and dash completely in about a decade of participating in this hobby. Some of the girls I've seen went downhill eventually, but due to following these personal rules I avoided getting enmeshed in the drama that went down. For those of you who were doing this back a few years, I remember seeing independents like Sexy Morgan, Tiffany Charm, and I used the relax2 you. Com service a few times when it was the only local agency around. By the way, a girl from relax2 you a few years ago gave me an upsell in the middle of the session for "progressing" to full service. Guess what? Fuck you I'm not doing business with you again. It remains the only upsell I've experienced.
Your ability to say no is a powerful tool in this hobby. Use it to stay safe and you can enjoy the hobby responsibly. God dammit now I sound like a public service announcement.
Really? That is a classic Rant and this is my oponion
If you could copy / paste the part in my post that admonishes Silk? No liberal interpretations or word spinning OK? I even started a completely separate post and carried nothing from her post to mine. I am pretty sure you completely missed the point of my 1st and 2nd post and no doubt you will miss the point in my 3rd and final post on this subject. Disgraceful behavior? You even admitted the letter of my definition is true. Silks name was never used or intended to be used in my original post. I mentioned no names and anyone who thinks I was going after Silk is only playing word games. Don't be a JO by trying to tell me I am a asshole because I already know I am a asshole. OK I am correct asshole also. If suckin Silks tit was your intention you get a A+ for being a tit sucker but get a F- for tyring that BS that I was disgraceful. I have more honor in my little toe than you have in your entire body. Suck tit or go after another vet? Did you know a proud tradition of the Marines is not take a shit from a hind tit suckin JO like you. Any JO who wants to swing on my nuts about Silk after this post will go to the my ignore bin wearing my cock hairs on your chin. Well on second thought you might get the point of my 3rd and final post on this subject.
[QUOTE=PhatDaty;2943979]Don't be an asshole. Decoration Day has been around since just after the civil war. The tradition, though, goes back to the Revolution. It became common in the best part of Spring, before it became an official holiday, to decorate the graves of soldiers that died in service. It quickly spread in scope however. It became a North American version of the day of the dead. It usually involved a weekend where they cleaned up small local cemeteries from winter damage, held a picnic or potluck, and when the government decided to make it official to allow travel for out of town relatives. This then expanded to a weekend of memorial for all that had died, mostly born out of the tradition of grooming cemeteries from the long winter.
While the letter of your definition is true, to admonish Silk for simply honoring those to serve is just you being an asshole, and no not all jarheads are assholes, just this one in the moment. The USMC has a proud tradition of being honorable in all things, and your behavior was disgraceful. Memorial Day is great time to reflect on both the fallen and those that survived the fallen watching their comrades die in front of them. It is a time of reflection. I suppose you feel firemen and police officers that died in service have no place on this weekend? It is a different world now, so let it go,
Mike, I appreciate that you served, and sacrificed injury to your body in service to your country, but to preach at someone that means well is counterproductive. These new kids are lucky if they even care about anyone other than their insta-google-face-tweets for five minutes is amazing, and Silk should be admired for at least thinking of service people even if that is supposed to happen in the fall.
As a person that has served our country and has a family with a legacy of service I was offended by your remarks. My grandfather died in the Pacific WW2 and I lost two uncles to Vietnam, and my brother was never the same when he came back from The Sandbox--might as well count him in the walking dead. I think I am qualified to offer a different perspective. If you want to get technical, the original reason for having the day was the sheer losses experienced in the Civil War and then again in the World Wars. It would take volunteers that long to service the graves of the fallen. Since we no longer have as many losses in modern warfare, maybe we don't need a full day anymore? See how ridiculous your rigid definition is now?[/QUOTE]
