Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

[QUOTE=BigMack;3210537]Been a long ride over 3 decades and so many changes and with the seeming outbreak of losses of old friends and mongers it is time to reassess the continuation process. There are a number of good ladies out there still but the numbers are diminishing at an alarming rate either through drugs, just leaving the hobby or disappearing.

The number of clients who continue to see ladies using and abusing is alarming compared to the way it used to be.

For me it has become borderline crazy to continue wondering who is and who is not safe anymore. I love ladies who love to get busy but.

The main concern for me is who have they been doing who have been with guys who still continue to do ladies who are using.

I appreciate the friends I have made and the intell I have received from well-meaning guys but the more one reads about who is doing who.

And who have they been with one has to step back and take a deep breath and evaluate the risk vs good s*x factor.

Let me make it abundantly clear I am NO ANGEL and not making any judgements about any lady or man, only concerned for my personal health and safety and that of others I respect and worry about, who have special meaning for me.

WIth that said have a good NEW YEAR and remember those we know who have left us and give thanks to those who we know who have or are trying their best to beat this and move on to better things. To Jackson and A2 thanks for all you do everyday to monitor and give us options and for moderating the boards. You guys do a hell of a good job for all those you watch over and help. Kisses to the ladies and best wishes. BMack.[/QUOTE]Thanks for at least breaking it into digestible paragraphs. But I still (as usual) have no idea what you're talking about. Happy new year!

The risk of getting shit you can't get rid of is increasing algebraically (sorry a lot more than it used to be).

He is deeply thinking about if this is fun and worth the risk any more.

Hope that helps and hope I translated that correctly BigMack. T69.

The big question is does anyone know anymore who is doing what with whom and how it will effect each of us?

Since getting back into the game about 5 years ago, I've quit the hobby a couple times, but couldn't stay away for more than a few months. Women are my vice. I've sort of accepted that this is how I'm wired, so I try to offset the risk by using covers for everything 100% of the time, no exceptions, and by sticking with reviewed providers. I've come across a chick in everyday life who I think will drop the panties if I play my cards right. Hopefully that happens both for the obvious reason and so I'll have less time or need for the hobby.

[QUOTE=ProVid;3208139]You are right. Walk / balk does work.

But it's worth pointing out that they talk to you because you belong on the street with them, boom. You're embedded in that world. You literally sit in your "spots" and watch for hours. Most guys with normal lives aren't going to do that. Not only wouldn't they blend in, they don't have the time to waste.

Look at it like this: How many hours of your life do you spend lurking around? How much is an hour of your time worth? To most people, it's worth a lot more than 20/ hour. So isn't the true payment for the pussy you're getting being subsidized by a life wasted (my opinion) sitting in the hood steeping your soul in all that horrible shit? Most mongers are paying for convenience as much as anything. What you do isn't convenient.

There's a lot of business out there, all the time. Girls will almost always say they need more because when you're living from hit to hit, the way you perceive time changes. There are more mongers than available pussy. Always. Trying to unite the mongers is futile, though your advise to walk / balk is effective if the monger believes that sucking a dick is only worth 10 $.

I don't doubt you get better service from some who actually respect you. But these are girls who are somewhat fucked in the head. Their idea of respect includes beatings and being pimped out. To earn that respect, truly, a guy would need to be willing to do things most of us aren't interested in doing. Some of the shit you've posted about doing, most don't want to deal with. And I'm sure you've dealt with worse and just kept your mouth shut about it.

For some, being hard with the girls is a turn-on. For some, it doesn't matter. But for some, they don't want to be hard with them because of pity and empathy.[/QUOTE]I almost never agree with you because you know. I think you're a dick. However, I think you're right on this one. The whole SW thing isn't really about getting laid, it's about getting a woman to get you off for the absolute lowest price. Guys who spend all their time on that and brag about a creampie for $10 or how they volunteer in a homeless shelter to take advantage are simply pieces of shit.

Just my opinion.

Are there some guys that volunteer in a homeless shelter, so they can take advantage of some women? Oh shit! How come I couldn't think about that myself?

No, just kidding. I was shocked with the fact. Is this a fact? Does people really do that?

What's the average amount of time between time posted and when it is approved and public? Does it depend on which category? If I post a review, am I able to include a screenshot of the ad on the site?

I unfortunately pissed A2 off by going off on a new guy in the wrong forum and have to get my posts approved for a few months till I can prove I won't do that again. But my posts usually show up in a few hours. Hope this helps. Stay safe.

Otherwise it's going to wait until someone (as in an actual person) takes a look to review it's content and format. With that, there is no, "average", but rather, "It'll be there when someone gets to it. ". The good news is, with as many things as the admins have to do, they are usually on the ball and get stuff put up in a few hours.
