Do you think girls asked for a deposit prior to even the year 2000? No? And guess what? They all got paid!!

You apparently have no clue who I am or how involved I've been in my community since 1998.
Hint: I'm a bitch that allegedly spent 20k a year on phonebook ads and close to 50k on city paper ads.
"Reputable agency" - wonder if y'all know how many providers ran their business like a "reputable agency" in the year 2000, and before.
Go bs someone who hasn't been in this business for 23 years.
We started implementing deposits after FOSTA/SESTA because clients ramped up their NC/NS. If you want deposits to go away, become an alleged hooker and join the party.
Although on break for the holidays, in January we will resume our weekly meetings with Pennsylvania lawmakers...if you do decide to become a hooker, let me know I'll send an invite.
Some folks who are currently our supporters include people like the next mayor of Pittsburgh. Regardless of your opinion on him...he highly supports the sex worker commUnity.
Now...I'm really done with the client rendition of the history of my career. Unless you're a hooker, you can't possibly have statistics on deposits...unless you're doing the work itself to gather your Intel. Hookers don't share our inside information with hobbyists. You have no way to know if your stats are true...you're mistaking up numbers
I, on the other hand, have a background in research and I've been doing research since I came back to the burgh to end cop rape in 2017.
You should see the poll I did about how do you like your dick sucked
Oh...I also own/operate a grassroots org that is dedicated to ending abuse against us...we do research from within our community.
McDonald's doesn't present their research findings as comments submitted by clients...
And neither do hookers.
This is our career, hobbyists are merely clients with little to no inside knowledge of how our world works beyond your guessed dictation.
Working in Pittsburgh - haggled, NC/NC, shorted, "common baby everyone else does bareback" (<-- NO they don't...these guys lie), 20 emails ba k and forth with a bunch of nothingness, arguing about deposits, whining about screening. Trying to get providers hooked on (can't say) so hobbyists can take advantage and haggle their rates or down right assault them. The frustration of booking Pgh hobbyists makes my pussy dry.
Working outside of Pittsburgh - tipped, gifts, deposits, screening, 3 emails max to set up a session, kindness, respect and amazing lovers. I show up wet and dripping, ready to devour my friend.
Pittsburgh very quickly has gotten the reputation as one of the worst places to work...cause of the hobby culture here. Y'all are rude. If you want a wet hole, might I suggest squirting some lube on your wife? (Go ahead...point me for this one dj8...use that rule made upto police me, point me baby! Point me real good. Point me real hard! Lmfao.)
I also live in Harrisburg part time. Harrisburg men are so fun and really know how to fuck. And not one has argued with me about a deposit. They also screen with ease. Many send links to their LinkedIn with the initial email.
Keep complaining and running things the "new way" and wondering where all the "quality providers" are...we are around...we just leveled our clientele up.
Also many hobbyists can avoid con artists and robbers if you think with your big head...yes the one on your shoulders...when choosing a companion.
Providers, travel outside the Indys pervue and you'll find the clients who don't whine and complain and happily send deposits. Harrisburg, Philly, Baltimore, DC are some of my favorites. Philly I get a lot of greeting cards and small gifts like chocolates. DC I get mad tips...the smallest tip I recieved in DC was $75. Baltimore I go to lots of nice dinners and outtings.
I rarely see new clients in Pittsburgh. It's rarely worth the time...many clients have drank the poison around here that has dictated for years it's ok for clients to call us whores and put us down. If you're not a whore, you can't use the word. If you're not respectful, you can't touch me. It's that simple.
Explore the world outside of Pittsburgh. Your career will thank you...and so will your mental health. You'll find an entire different level of clients...ones who don't treat you with disrespect and disdain...you'll find the ones who dote on you (during your time), tip you and shower you with goodness. Guys (who post and speak up here) don't show respect on the boards...cut em off and move onto clients who buy you Christmas presents and send you on weekend getaways for your birthday...or just cause you need a break.
Took me about 6 months to rearrange my career away from the hobby culture aka review culture. Now I am much happier for it.
In case y'all wondering...I usually only come around here after getting reports in my org of abuse on this site. It's wild what some of y'all [bold] think [/bold] (lol) you can get away with. Whew.
Hey there Joshie Shapiro...you still around here spying on the boys or have you gotten board (lol) yet?
If anyone wants to seriously continue this convo, please hit my DMs...I'd love to think tank this entire culture shift we are experiencing...and will continue to experience...y'all should see the new national bill introduced....wow that one will be a mother-fucker if it's passed.
