Posts: 149I do spend wisely. When I spend "money". $700 is not "money". Anyone sweating that, anyone who rushes to McDonald's for the Dollar Meal Deal, can't afford this past time.

Posts: 1384Exactly this! Me wasting an hour or 2 dealing with flakes and time management issues costs more than the $700 for someone who is prompt and provides services as expected.

Posts: 1358That's all well and good, but most folks with money actually spend it more wisely. However, if you want to keep spending the way you do, fine. There is still, though, nothing wrong with voicing one's disdain about provider rates (or anything else, for that matter). Again, as long as one does not demean the op, things are good. Also, there is the possibility we'll learn something from such discourse.

Posts: 149Your perception is not my perception and perhaps your finances do not look like my finances.

Same with an entertainment consultant. My time costs more than her time, so I care more about her promptness than her cost.
The last $700 consultant provided an amazing experience. The last below-$300 consultant provided an epic disaster of one. The best, most expensive are not typically on TNA or SkipTheGames. Try P411.

Posts: 1358True, but I make the choice as to which providers I visit. And if part of that is based on donation amount, so be it. There are other hobbyists that have strict spending limits for providers, as do I.

In actuality, I've never visited a woman whose rates were above my limit. As it is, have seen comments from a number of hobbyists that such experiences were not that great. I've had many great experiences with women that charge rates which are within my budget. That is all I need.
See my remarks above about convenience.

Posts: 1358Note I said "(I think)", ie, not sure. But whether breaking the law or not, why can't common sense prevail? In that particular case, after the idiot gave me the finger, it would have been reasonably right for me to do something to him (maybe physical harm).

Posts: 865You need to read up on the law, I think
Are you so sure of that? I quote from.

And as for sidewalks, in many jurisdictions you cannot legally ride a bike on a sidewalk (in Seattle you can, mostly). But if I am confronted with a choice of riding on a busy, shoulderless road with 40 mph traffic and riding illegally on a sidewalk, it is a no-brainer and fuck the law.Ride as far to the right as is safe and practical except when turning or passing. Bicycles are not required to use a bike lane or shoulder.
I agree that some cyclists can be obnoxious jerks. But there are a lot of motorists who are obnoxious jerks as well, the difference being that one group of obnoxious jerks are operating tons of metal and machinery that can easily kill people, while the other group dresses in odd clothing. And that's why I think motorists need to be held to a higher standard: simply because they can kill and injure others so easily.
You also need to keep in mind that motorists invade bicycle lanes all the time, for any reason and no reason at all.

You may place any member on your "Ignore List" and resolve your problem. I have found this to be a valuable option and utilize it occasionally.

Posts: 170Absolutely not!
Should have phrased that better. All I'm saying is in most countries. The cyclists are smart enough to ride in the bike lane or side walks. And those are all congested. American cyclists here are entitled! I just hate how you have to wait on them in a one lane road while they pedal up a hill. No hate or harm to them. Was just venting, pretty sure some have been hit my cars before.

Posts: 964Sure, but you're talking about chips here. You can get the exact same chip with the exact same quality from store to store. But when we're talking about providers / people, that isn't the case. They are vastly different from person to person. No one person is the same. I've had great experiences at lower rates, but I've also very bad experiences at the same rate. It varies wildly when it comes to humans.

If some hot provider is closer and she a bit more $, most guys are going to do it. Not all, but I'm willing to wager most will. Convenience.

Having said that, if my financial situation allows me to pay more and still save money, it's not a concern for me. That's that thing. What's expensive and takes from your savings to you isn't a hindrance to someone else. This is why Walmart can still carry those chips for a higher price and still be in business.

Posts: 1358The problem with your argument is that if "we" (people who are decent, considerate, and obey the law) do anything slightly wrong, we'll be basically castrated! Also (I am writing this right after the other post I made regarding the narrow bicyclist who caused me issues), read my post about that, and you'll see why many of us might be "fragile".

Posts: 1358I understand there are laws governing bicyclists, and protecting them. But with some common sense and decency, we would not have so much hatred.

When we moved into our townhome in 2005, the main road "outside" the community was completed, and bike lanes were installed on both sides of the street. Each homeowner (including other adjoining communities in the area) was subsequently assessed with a "payment" for the improvement of that road about 9 months or so later, including the bike lanes (it was about $1450 for us, and not tax deductible! About a year later, I exited our community, approached that main road, and made a left (it is 2 lanes only, plus a bike lane on each side). The road ascends up a hill (not too steep). As I drove up the hill, there were 3 people riding their bikes on my right. 2 of them were correctly within the bike lane, but the third one was outside of it, on the road, and impeding me. Now, there was no traffic coming the other way, but legally one is not supposed to cross the line into the other lane. Well, I honked my horn for the bicyclist to move, but he ignored me. So, I did go around him (again, illegally), but as I went by, he gave me the finger! Unfortunately, I am not too strong, plus older than him. And I had nothing in the car I could use to fling at him. So, I had to just drive off. (A now deceased friend of mine would have stopped and did something, and he had WAY more guts than me!
So, legally that bicyclist was breaking the law (I think), but of course there were no police around. Plus I do not know of any way to report it, and subsequently have something done to that bicyclist. Still frustrates me to this day. Fortunately (and so far), such an incident has happened only once.

Posts: 46Gfe
I'm in the same boat, I've given up mostly on girls in WA. I now get enough GFE and PSE outside the US, and it's never been the same since. I've seen quite a few of the CT girls, and mostly they have been great. I've seen most multiple times too. CarmenNicks, CaseyTyler, CelineBelle (last session was bad I won't see again), CamilaLove, and others have been great. Usually MSOG, DFK, BBBJ, CFS. You can't go wrong but keep in mind they're always busy so you'll be hitting it right after another monger and as soon as you leave there will be another dick waiting in the parking lot. LOL.

Posts: 1358I hope you are correct. But with all the harsh economic sanctions nations are implementing against Russia, and with the Ukraine forces putting up heroic resistance, Putin might get pissed off.
