Ladies and gentlemen. It's been fun. Really.
Somewhere around the 30th of January, my premium subscription expires. After much thought, I am going to ask the moderators to render my account inactive at that point. I have decided to evolve to the next level of existence in this little universe of ours.
I have met some truly wonderful people here. Ms. Elena got me going in this arena. And though I rubbed her fur backwards a few times and earned an occasional paw-swat from her, she never failed to give good, solid advice. Most of it I followed. The most important advice I have chosen to ignore until now.
"The happiest clients" she once told me, as I basked in the dreamy afterglow of a typical Elena moment, "The happiest clients are not on the boards."
Alas, that I did not comprehend. I do, now. Even now, I parse my words carefully, hoping not to offend or be interpreted wrongly.....knowing I will fail.
I have learned a lot from my fellow hobbiests. And I thank you. Smooth Sailing, you devil, I especially want to thank you.....and you know what for. I have tried to contribute what I can, with reviews and recommendations. I hope some of you have been helped* by that, and that I have therefore earned my keep. Some of you guys just make me laugh out loud. It brightens my day. I may still pop in to lurk once in a while, just to get a grin. But, I really don't think the good I can do with future contributions will outweigh the potential difficulties I will cause.....at least as I see it. The one thing I seem to be best at is stepping on my own dick. So, its best I stop.
To all the ladies I've met here on Eccie....Thank you for great memories and I wish you the best. I'm really sorry I was never able to run down some of you. Kay2day and Gia especially. If you ever find some ugly old guy hitting on you at Whole Foods, please don't dismiss him outright. It might be me.
I'll still be seeing the occasional lady......a few select ones in my P411 account ok list. They have all indicated that they would love to see me again. And I have a couple of favs I'll be seeing a lot of. If I am truly honest with myself, I have achieved what I set out to do when I first started. I'm getting laid on a pretty regular basis. And by some pretty hot women.
But I think my days of meeting new providers is over. You see, I've been blacklisted. And it is affecting my screening. After this year, with no more use for an account that will let me screen with new providers, I will probably let my P411 account lapse.
What evil deed led to my blacklisting? Loyalty. But, to the provider who put it up there, it looked like "gossip and drama."
No good deed goes unpunished. But no deed at all leads to no punishment at all. THIS is why the happiest are not among us.
A word to the ladies: I know you frequently see the vilest examples of manhood in your chosen vocation. Just like cops, in dealing with criminals on a daily basis, become jaded and view all non-cops as criminals.......so you ladies learn to hold the men you see in contempt. To some of us, though, you are angels of mercy. We hold you in highest regard.....and are confused when treated with suspicion. A lot of us are just trying to do the right thing, with no idea as to how to go about it.
To the men: Ultimately, respect for your fellow human beings pays the highest dividends. I sometimes think that, in reviewing the ladies for the services they provide, we lose sight of that. Yes. Some are theives and con artists. They deserve reporting and worse. Some provide more limited or better experiences than others.......but some of that is us. Sex is a team sport. All team members have to give their best.
Finally, loyalty. I know the old saying.....we're paying the girls to go away afterwards.* And there's some truth to that. But, in a world where alliances are brief, and men and women come and go, loyalty is a rare and precious commodity. Trust has to be earned, and is easily destroyed. It is because I most fear doing this most that I bid you all farewell.
"Party on, dudes. And be excellent to one another."
