Hurt feelings and the misconception that money buys friends. Some guys think because they break their back bending over backwards to help a provider, it gives them a special place in the provider's heart. If a provider cuts you off because you won't loan her money, she was never your friend to begin with.

My statement was a bit too general in painting all providers with a broad brush. OBSG stated that another provider cut him off because he wouldn't lend her money due to the issue he had with Ms. Sweets. That provider that cut him off never saw him more than someone she could get money out of.
People who rip people off give us all a bad name.

I knew that there was little chance I would see that money or a session (actually less than I gave her) in the future. I don't miss the money. I also discussed doing some work for me (business). Now, she is in a more desperate position. Now, all I can say, "you never paid me back, the last time". I ignore her texts. A person is only as good as their word. I keep mine and expect nothing less from others.

They are called that because, generally speaking, it is foolish to pay providers in advance. There are of course, exceptions to the rule.
If I give anyone money, I never give more than I would be upset about losing, and I don't expect anything in return. Loans complicate things and cause people to avoid you. Originally Posted by Roger.Smith

There are of course, exceptions to the rule.I agree............but to take it a step further, on a personal note, I would not ever loan someone money, without some type of signed documentation that they know it is a loan, not a gift, and they will pay me back by a certain date. Depending on how you want to pursue it, you can go to small claims court and get your money back, as you have the borrower's signature as proof you loaned him/her the money and they agreed to pay you back.
But it's generally a bad idea to pay anyone in advance for anything unless you know the other person or business well and they have a reputation for honoring their word.
I don't know of very many, if any providers, who would provide a session on the promise of being paid later. It would seem to me that they would run the same risk of being ripped off by the client, that the client would in paying for a future session.
Here is a good rule to follow.... If a provider asks for help and you decide to give it to them, consider it a gift for which you will expect nothing in return. That way you are not disappointed when she doesn't pay you back. Think of it in the same way you would lending money to a family member....or best friend. But you should always consider that if the other party doesn't come through, it does affect the nature of the relationship. Originally Posted by Luv_da_girls
