Now, I'll ask the question that no one will answer, if a hobbiest has a preference for spinners or blondes or BBW's and that hobbiest does not deviate from his personal preference, does that mean he discriminates? Why then does an NBA policy mean discrimination? Originally Posted by DFW5TravelerDepends.

This is not reasonable, because providers don't make appointments based on their physical attraction to a guy. Appearance is almost a moot point. Chemistry is always a huge bonus on both sides, but oftentimes we don't find out whether that exists until the appointment has already begun - it is rarely a requirement, and women are, as a general rule, not nearly the visual creatures men are anyway. Our chemistry is usually mental, though I'm chary of making sweeping absolute statements for all women so this does vary.
OTOH, there are any number of restrictions ladies place in ads, as we've all seen. No young guys (rough, too demanding, attitude problems). No seniors (erectile dysfunction, uncomfortable with men old enough to be their grandfather, might have a heart attack). No black guys (variety of reasons that I've heard). My opinion is: Whatever floats their boat, but it's bad business policy. But their loss is my gain. More young guys, seniors and black men for me.
My business policy is, if you're clean, on time and respectful, let the madcap hilarity ensue. If you're an asstwat, go bug someone else.
