Come on, now. We are all pretentious wannabes or we wouldn't be posting on a forum called Diamonds and Tuxedos, Catering to Lavish Lifestyles, etc. If any of us were that important we would be living our lavish lifestyles and not wasting beautiful days indoors on an internet escort forum.
I joined HDH because I was curious about the women and wanted to see if I could fit in to the Cool Kids Club. To my excitement, I could. It was also a nice community with interesting people and discussions. I joined Eccie (which has been sort of a disappointment lately, as there's more arguing and mudslinging and "this offends me/that offends me" than intelligent dialogue) because I had met a few people on ASPD whom I liked and wanted to continue interacting with. (Thanks PJ!)
I'd love to see all this nonsense about calling people out for how upscale/discreet/smart they are/aren't, because it's all been another incarnation of "what defines a HDH?," which is a conversation that's, among other things (like elitist), really dull. Can we move on? Even the people who (I'm assuming) came in here with an agenda to dismantle the elitist attitude they perceive here aren't really getting the job done; it's been lots of nasty elite cattiness and clique-iness from men and women and old and new members. Can we just stop? Because I sort of enjoyed the community we had going and I'd love to sign in here and not see so many mean and passive aggressive things being said. I want the forum to be welcoming to new people, but I'd love to see a little more respect all around. (And no, not "respect" in the sense of an disingenuous politeness, as discussed in a previous post. Respect as in a dictionary definition; grab a dictionary if needed.)
Feel free to tell me I'm part of the problem; I probably am, but I'm ready to move on if anyone wants to join me.
