Hobbying In Your Backyard

I don't see a lot of local guys either, just the few regular gents I meet. My clientele comes primarily from out of town to Dallas on a regular basis.

I don't know. It's very disturbing to hear that a lady's chance of getting clientele in her hometown would be hindered because of the CHANCE of seeing a client in public keep them from playing. But if I were a guy, that's what I would do.
I've hobbied in my backyard before. I have no problem with this. I follow the rules for safety (including not showing up and waiting in a car) and I try to see ladies who have a positive reputation.
I've seen clients by themselves and with their wives or girlfriends out and about.. I just walk the other way.
Mostly when I'm out of town. As mentioned, my time is more my own then, the lady will usually come to my hotel, which is a nice one, instead of a notel-hotel which makes me feel cheap.

I've seen a few in my backyard, but sometimes I'm either so paranoid about being seen or the hotel or incall is so depressing that the session, uh, flops.

Rarely, if ever, do I see a lady traveling to my backyard. Feels like it could be a cattle call.

Although, lately, not hobbying at all, just lurking and reading.
