LOL, yes old Athooga, lol. I happened to see an ad for her recently on Tryst. Was shocked to say the least. She was unpleasant, nasty, old and way overweight back in the day. Hasn't changed except now she must be collecting social security. Perfectly describes the state of the Pittsburgh Hobby today Originally Posted by berryberryDoes anyone here doubt that Berry thinks the scene here sucks? Has he repeated it enough times and Made enough blanket statements yet? I think we get the point.

And guys, don’t feel bad that you are insulted by this. You should be... you like what you like and are trying to “share” but then are ridiculed almost as much as the ladies.
Hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend! Originally Posted by Dreamgurrl

And yes, the local scene sucks. Nearly every guy who has posted on the two hobby threads has agreed.
And why would Laserface or anyone be upset about my opinion of Athena. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Hell Laserface said "But from that, and my other interactions with her, she seems like that obnoxious aunt ... Wears way too much makeup . . . (and about 50 to 75 pounds ago) . . . Has an enormously (and unjustifiably) high opinion of herself. . . her profile says she's "in her 40's", which is what she's been saying for at least the last 20 years... I've just had multiple unpleasant experiences with her, and I've never even met her in person..." Originally Posted by berryberry

*relevant to original topic*. Local “hobby” scene. If you care so much about Discretion then you wouldn’t be on a “hobby” board 24/7 providing all kinds of information, And details about providers.
And a person who actually cares about discretion, wouldn’t support anyone who has been proven with actual provable evidence that they shared someone’s ID and threatened them with that knowledge.

The one I primarily remember was Athena. She was pretty transparent that she was trying to cultivate an environment where providers got as much money as possible from clients, while being expected to do as little as possible in exchange. Her base level of expectation seemed to be that she didn't want anyone to take less than $250/hr (I think she also "approved" of charging something like $180/half-hour if someone wanted a shorter session), and for that she didn't think it was reasonable to provide anything more than a massage + HR. I know she preferred not to do FS herself, and she thought that if FS was provided, it should be for a big tip (over the base $250/hr). She had particular disdain for any provider who dared to provide BBBJ, she never thought that was something that was reasonable for a client to even ask for, let alone for a girl to be willing to do it.I’m going to go out on a limb and say clients who want to meet after 10pm are more likely to be drunk.
I actually tried to see her at least three times - even given the "premium rate" she expected, she at least seemed to have some intelligence, she was supposedly open to BDSM and fetish sessions, and for a while her location was within walking distance from my house. I've always generally preferred massage + HR sessions anyway - so I was willing to pay extra for the convenience and for seeing someone with fetish options and that I could hold a decent conversation with. But every time I tried to see her, she always found something to get snotty with me about, and it sort of drove me off. Either it was that I was trying to book on too short notice (at least at the time, she was one of those who didn't want to book same-day sessions), or I was trying to book too late in the evening (she pretty much told me that she didn't like to see clients after like 10pm, because clients who asked for late night appointments were always a problem in some way - I guess most of her clients didn't have to, say, work at an actual job during the day or anything...), or one time it was that the roleplay session I was asking about was "way too complicated, I'm not reading all that - you need to boil this down to one or two sentences at most". If her intent in those interactions was to make a potential client (who was actually willing to pay her published rate and everything) so annoyed with her that he walked away, then she succeeded every time.
I actually ran into her in public once, at the Giant Eagle. I will admit, she is not entirely unattractive (or at least, she looked reasonable for her age, at that time - this was years ago now). But from that, and my other interactions with her, she seems like that obnoxious aunt or whatever that just about everyone has at least one of in their family... Wears way too much makeup. Was probably considered "hot" at one time, maybe in her 20's (and about 50 to 75 pounds ago), and still thinks she is, even though the outside world probably not agree. Has an enormously (and unjustifiably) high opinion of herself.
She's actually still around, and has an active profile on Tryst. And she's still asking $200/hr for a "massage" (or $300/hr if you want an "escort"). Something else that hasn't changed is that her profile says she's "in her 40's", which is what she's been saying for at least the last 20 years...
(Sorry if I seem a little salty about this one - I've just had multiple unpleasant experiences with her, and I've never even met her in person... ;-) ) Originally Posted by laserface
