With all the things you hear about what goes on in the hobby, I felt the need to start a thread about how lucky the ladies in my area are. With the day to day risks we take, the effort to balance our public lives with private, and the stress of running a business, the ladies in south Louisiana really have reason to be grateful. There are a few things we seem to not have the worry of...
A few ladies in other states have been telling me lately about how much BS they've gone through recently. For some reason, the gentlemen (using the term loosely) in their areas have had the audacity to threaten girls with bad reviews (or worse) if they don't give them discounts, ok's, extra time, the dreaded BBFS, etc. Its really gotten to the point of being ridiculous. Luckily, since I've been in this area, I've not ever had to deal with a proposal like that. I've met a few who forgot their manners once in a while, but not for long, and never to the point where it seemed they'd completely lost all sense.
So "thank you" to all of the gents in the area who "play" here with integrity and respect. You all seem to realize that you can catch more flies with honey than you can with attitude. Most of us ladies recognize this, and are glad to offer little tidbits or extras after being treated with such decorum.
Cheers to you!
