Never happened to me but, what one told me is.
[QUOTE=JaxSince1982;2761237]I was out with my SO the other evening and as I'm sitting at the bar facing the door I see what I believed to be a provider I had seen 6 or 7 months ago. A wave of fear came over me as I didn't need any drama. As she got closer I realized I was mistaken. Whew!! Anyway that got me thinking. Jax is really a small town! Running into a provider when we are out and about can happen. How would I handle it? Well I never give my real name to a provider so there's that. Also I've managed not to piss off any of them so I don't believe they would have any reason so be confrontational if I were to ever run into one. So have any of you had a provider run in? If so how did you handle it?[/QUOTE]Many years ago I saw Liz (getluckywithliz) somewhat regularly (damn, she may have been my first in jax come to think of it). Anyway, she is one who seemed to pretty much have her shit together and seemed to have a real life outside of the hobby. She told me about running into a customer at the movies and having the same "oh shit" feeling- hoping they would play it cool.
I am SURE that there are plenty of girls who would fuck your shit up if they thought there was something in it for them, but I do believe that most of them want to keep the private biz private. I just wish I knew how to tell the difference!
First year mongering lessons
So,
It has been about a year since I took my frst trip into "mongerland" so I wanted to give a recap and offer a little advice to any new members / mongers out there. My first visit was supposed to be with Riverside Gina but when I got there, I got the "bait and switch". She had apparently double booked and sent out "a friend" (Nichelle) To take care of me. It ended up being a car visit that I donated too much for but hey, live and learn. Since then I have spent way too much (this "thing of ours" is addicting) but had mostly a good time. My best times this year have been with Gina, Rikki, Miranda, Alyssa, (haven't sen her in months due to reports) Ashley (Skittles) and the queen Maliyah. I apologize for the lack of reports but will contribute more in the future. I am going to post a few late reviews after this. Now, the advice I mentioned. (feel free to direct newbies to this post and add any of your own.).
1. Do your own research first. I trolled the forums for about six months before I made my first visit and my first post was a "thank you" to other contributers and a review. Read back a few months or so if you have questions. Most will probalby be answered, especially if they are about a provider. The fact is that most of them have been reviewed already under one name or another. It just takes a little effort. A lot of effort will go a long way. No one likes it when a new member starts out asking for "hand outs".
2. Realize that nothing is more truer than YMMV. Your Mileage May Vary. I made the mistake of expecting the same experience as others and was disappointed more than once. You will not have the same adventures as a senior with 1000 plus posts. Yet. I have had a couple really good experiences but honestly, I think that I jsut got lucky at this point.
3. Remember that there are many more mongers than girls. They will double book and make multiple appointments and therefore aren't very reliable. If she is clock watching, there is probably someone on the way or already waiting.
4. Protect yourself and your stuff. I don't take more than the donation with me. I only take the donation, my phone, my protection and my keys inside. I don't do "car dates" or pick up SW but if I did, I would make sure nothing of value was in reach. I arrive early and check out the surroundings. I take the long way to the room. I check out the room, bathroom, house, apartment etc before anything happens. I try not to give the donation until the end of the visit. If I do take it out, I place it somewhere visible and make it clear that it should stay there. The doesn't always happen and then I get "rushed" but I try. I don't talk about what is going to happen until LEO check is completed. If anything seems fishy, I bolt.
5. Negotiate. Although a provider may have a set donation, that doesn't mean that she isn't flexible. If she is unwilling to adjust the donation, either accept it or walk away. For a long time I was pretty passive and just donated whatever was stated first. Now, I will at least ask if she is willing to accept something else. I understand that it is supply vs demand and am nice about it but have also saved a few here and there. Remember that if market price (or higher) is always paid, it will continue to go up.
I think that is about it, but I am sure there is lots more that can be said by Mongers more experienced than I.
Good post love #2 and 3 so true

Huntdog and his handheld theory
I believe with what we have now as far as tools go it does make it easier and I would imagine harder to stop. I remember my first dream. It was summer of 87. Found the ad in the village voice. Then went on to picking up the latest copy of screw magazine. While I do go on a hiatus of sorts now and then I must agree its so much easier to pick up this smarty phone and look around. Better than hitting the newsstand. LOL. Good luck JD. If you can quit buying tobacco you can quit buying ass. Just my. 02. This old chief can't quit the damn tobacco. LOL.
Damn. That had me reminicsing
Wow. Had to throw this out. If only just to remember,LOL. The days of old are long gone. My first dream was in a place where you went in and about 8 girls if I remember right lined up in front of this young scout and the lady of the house told me to pick. I remember being nervous and unable to decide. She mustve picked up on this and said pick two. This is your first time isn't it. Wow. I picked this gorgeous redhead and this really fine brunette. My first threesome ever and it was amazing. I miss that scenario where there was a place you could chill out grab a drink feel completely safe and shoot the shit with the ladies. But that was many moons ago and now its pick 1 and hope for the best and hope the place isn't shady or a sting. Tonto!
