*Has the hobby that I once knew and loved all but disappeared?

Change is a strange thing to witness. Actually being in the bubble of change makes for an easier transition. Leaving that bubble and then returning is quite different, a bit shocking to be a little more accurate. I moved from Dallas and left the hobby for the most part. I dabbled here and there, but nothing regular. I went back to the real world, with a real job, a real boyfriend, and real life problems. I come back for a visit and wham! Things in Dallas are different. Everything is different.*

I thought the amount of Dallas traffic was bad when I left. I now wish for that traffic back. I thought the construction was insane. I want to go back to that insanity level. Back then a few bad apples had infiltrated the hobby now it seems they run the hobby.*

I remember, from my own experience, that saying ‘fuck you’ to somebody awarded you a small vacation. Disrespect and name-calling seem to be acceptable now. Discretion used to be what was expected. Now one’s business is all over Twitter and real life occupations are listed on profiles. Many of those I knew in the hobby forefront are gone now…or just sitting back quietly. There used to be a sisterhood and a brotherhood amongst people. Now it is very much to each their own. Ladies who offered BBFS were on some super secret list being passed around by the gentlemen. Now it is being openly advertised as if it were no big deal. Screening was a requirement and a guy was not getting around it. Now it seems to be no big deal to have no references. And do not get me started on LE activity. WTF?

One person’s progression is another person’s regression. Sort of like that whole trash/treasure thing. To me, the hobby has regressed much to the same level that reality TV has completely ruined my watching pleasure. The hobby as I knew it is no more.*

“Then” was not that long ago. What has happened? It used to mean something….the intimacy I mean. Now it’s all about completing as many acronyms as possible in as short as time as possible for as little money. Has the hobby changed that much or have I? One cannot live in the past. But there is nothing wrong with wanting “then” back…….

What I've been saying about the hobby environment here for the past 3-4 years. It ain't as much fun as it used to be. . .

Yes & No,,,,,, change has happend for the good as for screening methods advanced.
Craigslist was the start of internet escorting that evolved from escort agencies. You couldn't view a picture portfolio,,,, a recourse didn't exist, reviews was unheard,,, personal websites started popping up. Internet has strengthened the safety measures but the opinions aren't sugarcoated,,,

I have a handfull of hobbyists that trust is granted ,,,, had it not been for Eccie the relationships wouldn't have existed.
The escorts have a tougher experience ,,, ijs
I am on the receiving end,,, far different outlook.

The shit a escort goes through is ,,,, hard for me to imagine.

I don't know man. I get what she's saying and all that, but I'm having a fucking blast myself.

Fun is what you make it. If you want a peaceful environment 24/7 then it would need strict moderation at all times. It'll be run like a Nazi camp. Everyone needs to be adult and deal with your own problems. None of this "Eww he's being mean to me!" Bullshit. Grow up, put them on ignore, and move on with your life.

We're here to exchange information while fucking. Don't act like a little bitch and you won't be treated like one

I've only been hobbying for a year and a half so I don't have the "old"'days to compare. But count me as well as someone having a blast. A big reason for that is that I spend considerable time choosing my companions, am careful about the guys I exchange info with back channel and am careful about which opinions I pay much attention to on this board.

You could have placed "royal cunt" in where you said "little bitch" and it might have had a bit more teeth. But either way this is the best post in the thread. And so true!!!

Interesting take. When I read it my mind wanted to substitute the words verified asshole there.

Agree it was a very good post. So whine away and pound that alert button, or be cool.
