Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

[QUOTE=FortunateSon1;3894324]Unfortunately, that is true. While many of the ladies are out for gain and will take when possible due to their individual habits, that isn't all. Some have become jaded because of how they are treated. These ladies are still people, and deserve to be treated with a certain amount of respect on a basic level, and then more depending on them. That is the only way the "good ones" stay good. That's just my $. 02, but it's how I have always chosen to conduct myself.[/QUOTE]I read a lot of guys complaining about getting treated like shit during appointments. I'd guess most, not all, but most times it's because the girl is being treated like shit. I've heard some stories from them that leave me shaking my head.

I've had a few no-shows but I have never had a bad appointment. I have had some meh appointments due to lack of connection or we just didn't click, but never one I'd consider bad. They appreciate the respect I show them during the visit and it is always reciprocated. Sometimes with extra time. Sometimes with extra special service. Sometimes with just an extra smile or "Thank you. " Yes, I'm sure there are exceptions, although I've never met any, but for the most part, respect and be respected.

[QUOTE=CactusIago;3886619]This is a very true statement--I travel for work so I am all over the place. For the size of the city and the number of quality providers at the price point around here has is no equal. Maybe Dallas or Houston. Those places are EPIC. But Cincy is def a gem! Unfortunately, When a traveling lady comes into town, her doubled (or tripled) price point is a tough sell even tho the service is much better due to the customer service intangibles!![/QUOTE]I'm celebrating my first anniversary in the hobby, and over the first 8 months I got increasingly depressed because the girls on p4 and the indypendent site kept cancelling and slamming Cincy. Then I got moving with USA and found that the exact opposite was true. This was confirmed when I met with Ella Mae recently, who said that Cincinnati is such an awesome hobbying town. The truth is, USA is fantastic and is a big part of why Cincinnati is in fact a great place to live for hobbyists, IMO. However it is true that many traveling ladies and agencies will cancel coming to Cincinnati, which really sucks. And as I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm lamenting the loss of Flawless because they were one of the most dependable agencies regularly stopping through town, and if you like Latinas a lot it really is a major hit to the hobbying scene. .

[QUOTE=AlfReady;3892860]I used to use 'bitches of backpage' which grouped pictures by phone number. Alas, they are no more.

Anyone know a good site that does something similar?[/QUOTE]When I find a phone number and want to look up the provider to be sure, or try and see if she has reviews, I plug the phone number into them to bring them up. Of course, they charge a fee now, no matter what I think, so them has lost some of its usefulness for me currently. :-S.

Heheh, I was trying to say E. M. Let's see if this works this time. LOL.

I highly recommend clicking the "Preview Report" button and rereading your post before uploading it. That way you can try to un-correct something that got autocorrected. Or fix your own screw-ups before they go public.

LL.[/QUOTE]Ohhh, I never noticed that. LOL I see it now as I post this. Let me try it. Yeah, you're right! That is helpful. Unfortunately it doesn't let me put multiple dots for a pause, like _ Heheh Well it is a nice feature. Let me see what happens when I type them, E. M. , and "them". Ha, you see that, the only way to type E. M. And not have it changed to "them" is if you type E. M. LOL Well there you go everyone, my stream of consciousness here proved: (a) Preview Report is helpful, (b) E. M. Is how you have to type that site, and (c) I think out loud, even when I type. .

[QUOTE=JimJaimes;3895925]I reached out to Steve with EE last December, first thing he needed were copies of my pay stubs. Where do those copies go after he verifies me? EE serves 3 states I know of, making them vulnerable to being investigated by the FBI, not that the locals can't do major damage also. If I were to get caught up in a sting I absolutely believe LEO would contact my employer and get me fired. NO doubt in my mind that those self righteous cocksuckers would try and destroy my finances, even though they most likely do it themselves. I'm not taking a chance. If I am being told that after verification all info sent is being destroyed and only my user name is being saved and none of my personal info was put on a hard drive, I MIGHT think about it. But most likely would pass. And that was not being offered up anyhow. And. How do I know that even the most reputable agency won't roll and offer up info after getting popped for federal crimes. I can't start over at this point in life, I have a lot to lose. Maybe in 3-4 years when I'm retired I'll roll the dice. If I can still get it up! As they say. Be safe and be wary JJ.[/QUOTE]In December you were a relatively new member with low post count. Depending on if you had any provider references which I could verify (some providers do not answer reference requests) I would have tried to verify you thru employment etc. If you wanted to get verified now I would not need that info since you are more established etc. I have many different ways I verify and screen new clients. I do not want your personal info. That is only if I can't verify you some other way. I don't care who you are or what you do etc. I just need know you are safe. Thanks EE.

[QUOTE=YUM69;3895178]I was glad to see the response about having monger meetups! I had my first-ever hobbyist meeting recently with Raj Reddy. We had a great time knocking back beers and sharing stories. I look forward to doing more monger meetings soon. Please PM me if you're interested.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=RajReddy;3899587]Thanks YUM69 for initiating the conversation. It was definately fun. Any other mongers willing to meetup. Would be great.[/QUOTE]Hi. Can someone explain the appeal of meeting other mongers in person? I did it once years ago and wasn't impressed, and no value. Especially since most busts lately seem to come from these off-site meet-ups. Just curious, what's the big draw? I mean, if you guys are lonely, go buy some pussy! lol

Moved to this thread just in case it goes off the rails.

Wondering the same RO. You all remember this?

(Examples $1. 00, $0. 50) It also tries to get rid of text speak, slang words, and what I call lazy words like:

[QUOTE] 'em for them, gotta for have to, gonna for going to, etc. [/QUOTE]If you absolutely have to use those words, you can put the bracketed quotes around them like I did here but it shows up highlighted and looks odd, like it's not part of your post. It also adds a period and capitalizes the next word. (See below) There might be another way but I haven't found it. We can't complain though. This shit is free!

Now, if only there was software that could figure out what the hell people are trying to say when they use [B]NO PUNCTUATION AT ALL[/B] in their attempts at written communication. But I suppose that.

[QUOTE]ain't gonna happen[/QUOTE]Anytime soon.

Moved to this thread just in case it goes off the rails.[/QUOTE]I've never been to one but I think the appeal is talking with like-minded guys, sharing experiences with each other. Especially crazy shit that you can't talk about with your friends or family. This forum is one outlet for that but it's a whole lot more fun telling a story face to face with someone and hearing them laugh, or maybe groan in disgust, or gasp in disbelief.

Like this story. I was with a girl who was giving me a BJ and taking care of the boys. Her little dog hopped up on the pillow, lay down six inches from my head, and started licking his OWN balls!

I wish I could hear the laughs, groans, and gasps right now.

LL.[/QUOTE]Couldn't have said it any better LL. Whatever your hobby might be, following a sports team, fishing, golf, biking etc. You could do it in isolation, never getting together with other enthusiasts to share experiences. But it really wouldn't be the same. And I don't see a security issue at all as long as the same precautions are used in inviting individuals as you would use in setting up a session. There's no illegal activity occurring so it's not even going to attract the attention of LE.

[QUOTE=RogerOver;3899721]Especially since most busts lately seem to come from these off-site meet-ups.[/QUOTE]Seriously? Busted for what? Is it illegal to meet friends for drinks and conversation these days?
