I am new to Houston and this board, but not to the hobby.My first experience was all by accident 26 yrs ago and I haven't stopped since. While I don't venture out as much as a lot of you due to various reasons I still like to see 1 or 2 a month. I like this site and find it to be very valuable to everyone.
My only question is why some of you guys bicker, bitch and complain on this site, worse than two old woman. More information from some and less complaining or picking on each other. In my opinion the only people that should be haunted and criticized are the ones that ask for info about someone with out researching, or without giving on the board. Everything else should just be viewed upon, and asking information or questions rather than ranting on someone because they seen someone that someone else isn't in to. We all have diffrerent, likes, dislikes, are into different things. That is what makes this place good is there is info for everyone to use to make this hobby better and safer for the hobbyist and provider.
Hobbyist and Providers are no different than any other there are 3 levels, Poor, Middle Class, and The Rich. The poor tend to use Street Walkers, Craigslist $.40-80, middle class is Backpage and lower priced ECCIE verified providers or specials or quickies $.80-$140, Then the rich the ECCIE, 411 etc. $160 to sky limits. Everyone wishes the could play at that level but not everyone can, so they make and look for the best bang for the buck in there price range. There are always a few providers out there that are good and give a good service in every price range. So I don't always think its about being cheap or anything. Some just don't have it to spend, either because of lower salary, bigger families, living beyond there means, or a ball and chain that keeps a tight leash on there funds. Bottom line we are all looking to have that experience or excitement that we are getting or cant.
