Airline's On / Off Pattern
[QUOTE=BackpageDude;3832500]I went to gtown today and found airline and it was crickets it was about 4 pm I got off work early to beat the 85 traffic found airline kinda excited to be on new ground and it was crickets on the SW'S I might ry again soon.[/QUOTE]If you are persistent enough, you should see some sooner or later. There could be any number of reasons why they are not out, but if I drove there, and didn't see any out at a time that I thought they should be out, and that has sometimes been the case for me, I'd assume LE must have made a patrol through the area recently. I believe it's only because of LE's periodic harassment that they are not out 24/7. Otherwise, I think they'd be out everywhere, all the time, and picking them up would be a piece of cake. They want what they want just as much as we want what we want.
So I figure it's a pattern like:
1.) SWs come out.
2.) People in the community complain (parents, religious people, school bus drivers, etc.).
3.) LE comes out and scares all of the SWs away *OR* locks them up.
4.) No SWs are out anymore. People stop complaining. LE stops looking for SWs so much. Time passes.
5.) And the SWs come back out. The cycle repeats itself all over.
Hottie on Airline A Couple of Weeks Ago
I don't get to go out to Gastonia too often due to being busy with work, and other things, but I did see a hot looking WSW on Airline a couple of weeks ago. She had a nice slender body, D cups I'm thinking, with long red hair. Kinda reminds me of how Poison Ivy looked off of Batman. Sexy and seductive. Anyway, don't know who she is, but I'm thinking she would have been nice to pick up, and would have had it not for getting up with Nicole for a nice long BBBJ that lasted for like 7 minutes earlier in the day. (Well above the 2 to 3 minute average that most SWs seem to give out at.).
Comparing Gastonia to Charlotte
[QUOTE=SkidRow;3860998]Seen her out today on Airline around 6. 50 with a BF intow.[/QUOTE]And here I was about to brag about how Gastonia has a better SW scene than Charlotte on account of all the dopeheads, boyfriends, pimps, lookouts, or whatever you want to call them around the SWs in Charlotte. It's bad in Charlotte. It seems like almost 90% of the time when I see SWs out, there are guys around them, following them, or watching them it would seem. In Gastonia, I guess you'd still have a little bit of that, but no where near the extent that you do in Charlotte. When I think back to all the times I've seen SWs in Gastonia, it would seem like about 10% of the time where it would seem like there was a boyfriend around, or something like that. So I guess, in that aspect, it's still better than Charlotte.
What Happened to The Streetwalkers
[QUOTE=QueenCityGuy;3865836]And at least in my experience that is true Jammer, although I haven't worked those gashouse streets in like 5 years, I admit. BP killed a lot of the SW action as have some of the SB sites so now you are left with the most desperate and dependent 'walking'. They usually aren't my type. Personally I have never dated or picked up anyone who was with a handler (and neither have I been beaten, robbed, car-jacked, or anything). [/QUOTE]It never occurred to me that the online websites, like Backpage, had that much to do with the dwindling SW population. I'm sure it may have had something to do with it, but I had always assumed the primary reason for it is an increasingly hostile culture and intolerance towards the hobby. Maybe I am wrong, but to me that would seem like the most logical explanation as to why there are vast differences between the number of SWs out today versus the SWs of 20 years ago.
From what I understand, twenty years ago, the focus of LE was in arresting the women, not the hobbyists. Today, LE goes after the hobbyists, and it is our money that brings the SWs out in the first place. (A shift that I'd blame on the politics of our country that has been influenced by the politics of some other countries). So if the number of hobbyists goes down significantly, I'd expect that to bring down the SW population as well. Then when you also look at the role of technology not in the sense of websites, but in the sense that there are cameras everywhere, and today, everyone has a cell phone whereas back then everyone didn't, it's a lot easier for someone that hates our hobby to report anything they see just like that, and have LE right on it. Plus you got a lot more churches out there today, then 20 years ago too that I think has played a role in influencing people's attitudes toward the hobby. Like I can't even enjoy putting my radio on scan anymore without some religious music popping up in the mix these days because religion is everywhere in this country. Even in Gastonia's SW areas, there are churches everywhere. You can not get away from it's influence here.
I do think it's smart thinking to avoid SWs that have guys with them, and like you, have credited that with being able to avoid some potentially unpleasant situations.

As I have shared before, catching someone walking into or out of a store, striking up a friendly conversation maybe offering a ride on a hot day and seeing where it goes has worked for me. Heck even gals that weren't looking for action may take advantage of some quick cash. I always go for inexperience and naivety over a methed out / cracked out gal that would freak a snake for a fix and is turning 12 tricks a day and is an expert at stealing everything on you or in your car.[/QUOTE]If a monger can pull it off, I'd agree, that is the ideal route to go.
