Never give a fuck about what anyone else thinks, does, or says.Thanks Primetime! I need to keep this in mind. There are a lot of haters.... With that I digress.

I like Russ's observation about the changes we go through in our journey as hobbyists.
By the way, I have instituted an NUTA policy. No uppity twats allowed. Originally Posted by spear88

I find it laughable that I would visit ANY client and slowly convince her I want to be her pimp that's not a very good Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) for me and quite frankly is a time waster. However, I think it's deeper than Dorian's understanding and his message should have been two-fold.
One to the women who are truly (discriminating Indy) and another to the Pimps controlling the girls he wants to see. The issue for me in part is ultimately rooted in socioeconomic factors that many of these providers have lived with or been led to believe all their lives. It's hard for many of them and even their PIMPS (who I know is running things behind the scenes and reading this as I type ) it's hard for them to accept educated and very successful young (or older) black guys at face value.
For the Pimps reading this specifically, I understand your hustle. I suspect either (1) you were never brought up around good examples of black academic achievers and so your circle of influence has always been negative. You likely think that successful black men can only be found in Sports or Entertainment. (2) you envy when you look in the mirror and sense a personal failure by way of comparison, or (3) you're afraid black guys pose too much of a retaliation risk if you storm in on a session to intimidate.
That's how I would have laid it out if I were Dorian. Then again I probably wouldn't have at all. Originally Posted by Zanzibar789

I love this woman. Can you "catfish" me for a few years?
Dorian I am glad to see you have made it to 37, wait until you turn 50 and you won't give a fuck. You may not make it if you let that shit get to you. I have experienced prejudice that would make you faint, before you were even born.
My Dad told me "Son, I have some bad news for you. You're black, which means you have to work twice as hard, be twice as smart and if you ever use your race as a reason for failure, get the fuck out of my face!
I am sure if you let one of these NBA ladies know..."I am Dorian and I will take care of all of your bills!" - NBA Policy gone
The other ones will just not be attracted to brothers. Damn I am not attracted to certain types of women. What do you know!??
I think you should find something or someone you care about more than yourself. If you cannot...You're fucked. Originally Posted by DarthMaul

As a white guy, the NBA ads had no impact on me at all, and it never dawned on me that those rejections are a real shot at people the provider not only doesn't know, but never will.......... That crap has got to hurt you on some level, even though posted by a total stranger.....Or maybe just because it's a stranger.......No deep philosophical ending to this reply, but wanted to let you know you reached at least one person on the board who isn't going to give you a smartass answer...........One day we might all learn to live together, but I'm pretty sure it aint gonna happen anytime soon.........

Some of you brotha's just don't get it. It's all in your provider references. If your references vouch good for you, regardless of the color of your skin, you'll have no problems.To the average NBA provider its 90% personal.
The real issue is this: Many independent ladies are concerned that a black client will try to become their pimp and cut in on their business. They've had it happen to them or their colleagues too many times before.
So, it's the pimps that are your enemy and the reason behind the NBA policy, my friends, not the ladies, per se.
But, then if you're a dork loser, that don't help either. Originally Posted by StinkyFingers
