[QUOTE=Jsmw1980;3690898]Has anyone ever done a legitimate business transaction with a provider or former provider? Specifically I am talking about renting a house or an apartment to a former provider. I own a few rental properties and a former provider who I have kept in contact with for sometime wants to rent a house from me. I know previously she rented a house from a guy who she would see as a client for A discount in her rent. I don't think that is going to happen in this situation but curious as to what everyone's thoughts are. This girl has been out of the game for a couple of years. We kept in contact through social media because before she retired we became friends. Even since her retirement we hooked up a couple of times. I know she needs some help and I am able to help or just not for sure if it is a safe thing to do for either one of us.[/QUOTE]It's funny how many of you guys have PMd me trying to figure out who. I'm not going to say for her privacy but I'm thinking it won't work out. I decided to go ahead and do it but I think she's having second thoughts. Every now and then you run across one of these ladies that really gets to you. She got to me and in real life and under other circumstances I'd go for it but I can't. It causes me to realize the real side of life in the hobby. Some girls end up in a lot of trouble and some end up ok. I hope this one ends up good. Enough with the sap. But I'm done with this hobby. I'll contribute when I know info about some people but I'm done with seeing new people and done with the hobby in general.

She is was one of the nicest gals in town. I really hope it works out for both of you. Stay in touch.

No PM's from others asking "who" I won't respond.

Put her on a month to month lease if you have any doubts. Always trust your gut over everything else. Good luck to you!

Good luck to you![/QUOTE]I have rented to people before that I knew were in the biz. I never did see them as a part of the hobby but was just a regular landlord. This lady I've known for five or six years and I have seen countless times even as recently as a couple times last month or so. She's really not in the biz anymore but anyway. There's just a lot of stickiness to the situation.

[QUOTE=Jsmw1980;3725056]There's just a lot of stickiness to the situation.[/QUOTE]No pun intended I'm sure, but as a landlord, I immediately went to an after she moved out cleanup visual.

Since I chased my Unicorn way down the rabbit hole, a term used by warlockky, more than a year ago, I have been fairly inactive within the hobby. Sure, I have dabbled a little during her time of the month, however, not of any significance. So, I have decided, with help of fellow long time monger, mojo, to stop trying to find out if my unicorn is exclusive and just enjoy the ride. The sex is amazing every damn time and she is a freak. So, good luck fellow mongers and others. Stay safe and enjoy the hunt. I will miss that part. Thanks for all the good intel, the shared stories, and the like. I will check the board from time to time to keep tabs on the conquests of the brotherhood. Get all you can, while you can. Especially the ebony ladies!. Peace out, aruba.

Occasionally a provider shows up on my "people you may know" part of FaceBook. So far, only 3 of the providers I know have showed up. This is a little troubling to me as I do not want to know their private identity and I don't want them to know me either without my consent.

I am not going to name the names of these "ladies" but they are well known in town.

Is anyone else experiencing this and can anything be done to change this?

B, Twitter, and Instagram links on backpage that goes nowhere though.

Clicking on the girl's social media link will cause one's social media account to populate the suggested friends link on the provider? I don't click on those links anymore just to be safe.

-Barry.[/QUOTE]There is a great article I read about this last year. Basically, anyone who has the app privacy settings set to allow access to all their contacts is giving FB permission to pull phone numbers and email addresses specifically associated to those contacts. That all gets lumped into a algorithm that FB uses to match the People You May Know stuff. So basically any email or call you make from your phone will get sucked into the FB algorithm and eventually send a PYMK notification once it matches that email / phone# info to the FB account it is associated with. The best option to limit this is to go to Privacy settings and change how people can look you up by changing it to "only friends" or "no one" can search for you by email or phone number.

Any thoughts on the value of joining? Thanks!

[QUOTE=GrittyB;3738959]Any thoughts on the value of joining? Thanks![/QUOTE]I used it a lot before getting involved with SA. I liked it and if you travel a lot, it's a must have.

[QUOTE=GrittyB;3738959]Any thoughts on the value of joining? Thanks![/QUOTE]Not worth the money. One of the providers got me a short term free membership and except for a few traveling girls that come in town at times, the locals are slim pickings.
