Wow...just saw this thread! First of all, Charles...why ask why in the first place? And, please do not lump all providers as if we all act and do things the same way...because we don't. Also, please remember...this is all just a fantasy anyway, so why are you trying to rain on our parade? (lol)
I've had some experiences where the provider advertises being 38 and she's much closer to 48. A little truth in advertising would be nice. To me it borders on bait and switch. We all know how much that is despised in the hobby.
Palm...you just answered your own question. Some of you men seem to think and treat women over the age of 40 as if we have some kind of plague.
Trust me, in this day and age...women who are 38 are not much different than a woman who's in her mid to late 40's. And, I doubt that many women who are in their 40's are trying to pass themselves off as a 20 year old.
I'll tell you from personal experience...I'm much older than what's listed in my profile, but guaranteed by every review of me for the last five+ years...that I can hold my own against any 20, 30 or 40 year old...anyday. And, most hobbyists wouldn't have even given me a second glance if I would have originally listed my "true" age when I first started...because of that stigma of the "older" woman being worn out and haggered...which is really really wrong.
Also, most gents that look for the older woman aren't concerned whether she's 38, 48, or even over 50 years old anyway...imho.
