Struggling....

Gimme That, I don't understand you initial response to the OP's statement that she was raped at gunpoint. Your post seems to be a critique of her advertised services (or purported lack thereof) instead of an effort to be somewhat supportive. The response struck me as somewhat insensitive.

If you had posted "I was washing up at the Y and when I bent over to pick up my soap......I was anally raped!" I doubt that I would respond by saying "perhaps your newfound soapy paramour wouldn't have been so attracted to your ass if you hadn't aimed your lovehole in his direction!"

It's simple. In part 1- I lumped everyone in the same category. But then a provider contacted me and explained that she does this because she enjoys this line of work. So in part 2- I apologized for lumping everyone into the same category.

I was simply stating how this career is dangerous and she should try to get out because the next dude who she sees might harm her. ...

Thanks for finally understanding. It's really quite simple. If Michelle wants to ask you guys for another chance, fine. I was looking at the bigger picture because the horrific act she explained really bothered me on a personal level. I think she should try to screen better to decrease her chances of running into a psycho. Originally Posted by armydude

it just read like, instead of answering her question, there were a lot of should's in there [advice/directions].

in my case, i dont have any advertising suggestions for her or requests to meet up, just sending along positive energy and one suggestion.

Michelle,
It's up to you, but would an alert on the guy help others avoid him?

there is one for the girls in PR... kinda nervous to have one so public...

I can understand that. It's your call. I'm just thinking that most providers here don't have PR access anymore, including you if I understand the requirements correctly.

My thinking is that your attacker already knows who you are, because he booked you, and he knows you have reported him to the police, because of this thread. Nothing would change by putting out a public alert, except his ability to book appointments with other eccie ladies.

I don't know the details, so if I'm off base you won't hurt my feelings by telling me to mind my own business, or something more colorful, if the mood strikes you.
Again, only you can decide your risk level, or what might raise it. I hope things are getting easier as time passes.

. So everyone knows, I had a situation occur the other morning where I ended up raped at gun point. I went to the police and admitted to them how I met the guy on backpage. I havent booked many appointments on here and backpage . And now I have to stay away... Guys, give me a chance..And ladies please let me know if there is anywhere else I can advertise.

I am so sorry that you had to go through that.
I know of a few places I will get to your inbox shortly.

I want to go back to school. Are you volunteering to pay for it?

The world doesn't go round on our schedules and the bills don't stop coming in just because a person has had such an event occur. We still gotta do what we gotta do to get by. May not like it-but it's life.
