The word symbiosis comes to mind.
When it is all said and done, hobbyist don't care about providers and providers don't care about hobbyist. It is all business.

Some of it came to a head after a ladies last trip to a Social here a little over a year ago....I personally, being new to both this board and only recently becoming an Indie after working at an agency since I was 19 experienced this Austin "clique" attempting to recruit me more or less. I recognized it for what it was within the first couple conversations (manipulative females with an eye on MY money) and didn't take their bait and PERHAPS it's just a coincidence but my number of NCNS did increase right after that. The atmosphere in this business as an Indie is a lot more shady than it needs to be and I'm considering just going back to an agency or leaving Austin after my current SD/SB contract is up in October.
There are always rumors... always back channel talk..... The latest talk is of exactly that.... A group of ladies that have banded together to only provide references to each other while undermining anyone's business that does not join their little group...... That's just the surface of the rumors surrounding them... add manipulation, control coercion and threats of reprisals should someone want out......
Seems to me like some of the ladies found themselves a new PIMP that just seems to be a female this time.....
There are always cliques.....
But it does seem to occur here a bit more........ I spoke to a San Antonio lady that is fed up with having her time wasted here in Austin...... She has no problems making ends meet on trips to Houston and Dallas but coming here is just not worth the effort lately.....
Deny it all you want... There is no way your not away of it if you are a regular female poster in the Austin area.....
I discount anything I here once, twice sometimes even a third time..... but when it comes from multiple people, both male and female......
I start to give it a little weight......
The names are known and shared and many of the guys will have nothing to do with any in the group as well as make sure they share the information with any guys inquiring to make sure others are aware..... Originally Posted by Whispers

Ha, it's all a moot point anyway I guess so I should just STFU now!I just had make sure that it was CLEAR that her experience was NOT affiliated with the former ATTA Girl yahoo group. I don't need another month of dealing with the FALSE accusations of pimping streetwalkers, organizing price fixing amongst providers, brainwashing the providers and hobbiests respectively, using men behind the glory hole and advertising them as a woman, (did I miss anything?) etc. from men who think we're overpriced and have no worth anyway. Just wanted to clear that up. Thanks.
