When women aren't so much as ranting, which probably is never attractive, but just sharing thoughts about the industry and experiences, do you then think poorly of them?
I depends on the rant or whatever in question. My best friend is a provider with whom I've never had a provider/client relationship. I'm well aware that some clients (and escorts) are just sociopaths whose absence from the world of p4p could only be an improvement and I have no reason to disbelieve her.
Is it a massive turn off? Does it help put things into a little bit of perspective, just understanding the thoughts of companions even when they're more selfish and emotional then logical?
Unless what I'm reading is logically coherent and I'm being given what are claimed to be facts (as opposed to judgments and inferences), I have no way to draw my own conclusion. Emotional content only gets in the way of trying to figure out what the actual problem is.
I personally feel the value of such things is hearing the other side, putting me in check a bit, or at least trying to understand why things happen they way they do.
The advantage to leaving out judgments, inferences and emotional content is that by sticking to the facts, both sides are more likely to have a number of things which neither side disputes and which makes discrepancies easier to spot. It helps to state things as clearly and concisely as possible. If that is how a post is written, I can't see why such posts should be seen negatively (or positively). Facts have no morality. They simply are.
