I didn't quote you nor any other member. My opinion was put forth based on the thread topic. In which I stand firm in my pov of *holding a lady/guy to a higher expectation & standard because they're on eccie.*
Eccie is nothing more than a hobby site where folks come to and find out who is/isn't enjoyable, safe & reliable to see (based on alerts/reviews-which can also be found on various other sites). As well as to anonymously share a wide range of discussions. Eccie doesn't make individuals who they're are. Just because one is on Eccie doesn't mean a guy isn't going to NC/NS, stalk, short pay or cause harm to a lady or that they're not LE. Nor does a providers status on Eccie mean that she enjoys catering to men & thus she's going to provide you an excellent experience. Her Eccie membership doesn't mean she's not going to be B/Switch, NC/NS, have good TCB, etc etc. Neither does ones membership on TER nor P411, so on and so forth.
Thus again, holding someone to a *higher standard & expectation because they're on eccie* is ridiculous. As I feel, one doing so, is in for a let down.
I personally feel that you should hold the individual (you'd be spending time with) accountable for whatever expectations & standards one might have based on the fact that--
A. the lady is in this adult lifestyle to cater to mens desires & needs. If she doesn't meet said expectations. It's because she doesn't truly enjoy catering to men & shouldn't be in the hobby. Not because she's a member of Eccie.
B. Men hobby to enjoy being with women. A lady's expectation of men should solely be based on said adult interaction.
If the man fails to meet your said expectations. It's because A: he either doesn't respect or adore women, and just views them as an object to be used. B. You two simply weren't compatible for various reasons. And thus didn't click.
Doesn't mean he's a jerk. Nor does his Eccie membership have anything to do with it.
I personally do NOT in any form or fashion have any expectations of men based on the fact that they're on eccie, TER or P411. Heck no.
The only aspect I care about regarding their hobby board membership, is for screening. (whether or not their handle has been noted on alerts or whether or not they see sw, so I can decline). Beyond that. The expectations I have of them is based on them as an individual and how I expect them to treat me as a woman & how they've treated the women they've seen before me. Nothing more.
That's my pov and I totally get that some folks are not going to agree. Which is A-OK with me.
Laz,
I enjoyed our discussion. Thank you for your thoughtful insight .
(now that's how you agree to disagree and still leave with a smile and warm regards to another). Much appreciated, kind sir.
Holy Hell, welcome back WM! (lol) I don't think you understood me. By stating *higher expectations,* I meant ANY board member...not just hobbyists. I think most of us try to set our bars high. Not saying...just because we're board members that it's acceptable to be an idiot...or that we are entitled! (lol)
IMO...most board members strive to be good citizens of the hobby community...because of our affliations here. When a hobbyist or provider is isolated...it's much easier to rob, harm, cheat, and give half-assed companionship...as they aren't subject to reviews, etc.
What I've learned through the years is...whenver I meet providers, who are VP's, and set the bar high...it makes me want to work harder to maintain my level of success and service...and respect their professionalism.
