What is your favorite part of being a provider ?

I am a low volume provider who sees only one client per day and usually only three or four per week. Most of my clients see me regularly. Anywhere from once a month to once a week. We go out for drinks or dinner off of the clock and talk about life. Sometimes it's about his work or his wife or the topics can be lighter and more playful. I text them back and forth about whatever whether they are planning to see me or not. Phone calls don't just have to be about an appointment with me. All within reason, of course. Many guys just want a friendly woman who isn't their wife who will listen and be interested in what they're saying. I enjoy my job. Of course it's a way to pay ladies' bills and sometimes much, much more. But many of us try to be more than just a set of holes. Originally Posted by Lily Kat Wood

All of those FREE dinners add up in his mind, and all those who don't think this isn't so, just remember what you said before, and then remember I told you so....

Never mix business with pleasure, unless you plan on throwing your business out the window...

Oh yes, how could I forget about connecting with fellow providers!

I love getting to know my fellow providers. Many of us come from such diverse backgrounds and have some pretty interesting stories. It's so nice to put a face, voice and name together since so many of us rely upon each other for references. Originally Posted by Lily Kat Wood

Ok everyone works for Cash at every job. This profession is no different than Any other in the respect. What you like in your profession was what was asked and I enjoyed the responses and candor from the providers.

Speaking of that, and the recent memory lane thread, whatever happened to Arverni? The guy that called himself Fabio and had the heman white knight thing going on in his signature.

Oh that's right, no mean to derail this thread. It's about what providers enjoy about providing. I forgot about the Pretty Woman aspect of it.
There's no rule though. Do whatever you want.

That's the main point in all of this... there is no rule book. Each lady brings something different to the table and appeals to each gentleman differently. Some guys hobby to find those girls who they no longer can pick up at the bar anymore. Some guys hobby to find a woman that fucks like they wish that their wives would. Some guys hobby to be with a woman who reminds them nothing of their wives. Other guys don't have wives, but work too damn much to be able to cultivate long term relationships so they see providers for the connections that they are missing out on. As for us providers, we are definitely not a dime a dozen. So many different flavors and attitudes to choose from. Each of us has our own area of expertise. As in all professions, you get what you pay for.

You crack me up Al!!! I forgot one important detail in my white knight fantasy though... The Hot Pocket!

I agree with Kat. Everyone has a different perspective. I never intended to make friends in the hobby, but it just evolved that way naturally to my delight. So I have gotten to spend some really enjoyable OTC time with wonderful people out of the bedroom. The difference is I don't take them for granted. I pay for my services because that's work for them. I would never disrespect a friend by expecting anything free or discounted. So it comes down to what someone wants out of the hobby. Yeah its a business first, but there are always going to be different variations on it. And sometimes that can be really cool.
