PIMPIN'?

So, I wanted to chime in about all the "pimpin'" statements. Of course, there is the dictionary definition..................pa sted below.

Though its probably fact for the majority of folks who run a service, Im finding myself taking some offense to the attached preconceived notions. I personally do not own one fur jacket, nor a single feathered hat! I dont drive a cadillac, nor a lincoln and have never tried to make someone do something they did not want to. Its well known ( or at least i hope it is) that i do not hire anyone with "issues", ranging from drug use to mental instability. Not everyone is suited to this profession and I have not hired someone on more than one occasion because I thought the business would do them more harm than good.

Any woman or man in this profession needs to have an incredibly strong sense of themselve's, and where they are going. I have seen too many flame and burn, i'm sure that im not alone in that statement. Believe it or not, I have seen very many blossom and mature because of this business also.

I run a business. Bottom line. Like any business, I must have a good product and not devalue it. It must be delivered on time and perform as described. (we're talking about people here, so please don't confuse the abject nature of my description). Of course there is competition, therefore we must always maintain our reputation and value our customers, as they are our business.

That being said, I would like to hear the difference's and opinions from our members. I am not looking for kudo's or slaps on the back. I seriously believe that there is a huge difference between a "pimp" and a genuine service.

Thanks for reading and all thoughts will be appreciated. I could probaly say more, but I think its a good start. Looking forward to an intelligent and thoughtful thread!!

pimp/pimp/

Noun:A man who controls prostitutes and arranges clients for them, taking a percentage of their earnings in return.

I personally dont care eigher way, if you took offense to my reference of "pimp" it was in the context of that OP in the other thread.I wasnt thinking i had to be sympathetic with my terminology, just streamlining a point I guess.Im not sure I was meaning offense but at the same time didnt think i had to sugar coat things,,,,geesh,, I really do piss off everyone here...damn

I do not like pimps or agency's. pimps are similar from one to the next. I have only met a few pimp that run more like a ok agency. Agency's run from great to well pimp. That may be why I lump them together. But I find now that now that ee is not on the board that I was wrong to do so. I do think if a agency is on the board, they can not be both provider and hobbyist. But that is not up to me.

your agency seems ok to me. But as I do not use agency's from things that have gone down for me in the past with them. You may be a great agency, and I will never know. I know that's not fair to you. sorry about that. But after a few standoffs. I kinda keep away from all.

I hope you keep looking ok to deal with. And you are doing well in the biz. Even if a few like me will probably never call.

and thanks for this thread,

PIMP = Person Into Marketing Prostitutes

It does not necessarily have to have a negative connotation if the proper services (marketing, communication, logistics, security) are provided in return for a reasonable cut of the revenue.

nice try jack

if you ever seen a client or girl getting ruffed up by one

you would not have tried

haa, Jon, i was not referencing any one post or person! it was more of a thought. And meant to be thought provoking, sometimes its nice to step back and take a look at your self and who you are dealing with!

that's why i started this thread, to promote a little self reflection and maybe some meaningful convo. Hope that clarifies a little bit.

thanks for the feedback thus far.

Oh, my childhood watching TRL(Total Request Live with Carson Daily)... I'm getting reminiscent.

when driving, all pimps must take special precaution to use all proper traffic control devices at all times or a "bitch" may be their problem

You call yourself a hobbiest when it is all over that you go to any length to find the cheapest piece of ass you can, all the while complaining that you got ripped off time and again..
You can't stand it that another man has the ability to not only not have to pay for it but to build a business model around you paying for it. Please don't think escort services are alone here.. Every titty and regular bar for that matter has built that same business model.
I honestly don't care what people call me cause I know the Guy People who talk shit about me are fed bs by their little coke cola pounding girl who also likes popping shit about me... I don't deal with girls anymore and fucking like it...

You were issued points before I read this post! Your next comment will have much more serious consequences!

thanks!

i'll exercise that freedom by saying even though he was obviously referring specifically to "you" (singular), the same sentiment also applies to "you" (plural).

you (singular) encouraged me, so i will also say that i've noticed since your ringleader was smacked down with the ban hammer, you (plural) seem to have lost a lot of your voices.

it's refreshing...
