You are right that there are a lot of threads about location. Girls travelling through want to know the best place to stay, providers take role calls to see where the biggest concentration of hobbyists are, and both alike seek advice on areas to avoid. I guess I consider my thread to be slightly different because I'm curious if hobbyists look for the provider nearest to them or if they travel further down the road or city to see someone they are interested in or if maybe other factors rather than geography go into the equation.
It seems that about 2-3 years ago guys would travel from one metropolitan area to another to see a specific provider (not just bc they were going there anyway). This seemed to slow down and it seemed that guys wouldn't go out of their way to see a specific provider unless she happened to be in his town or he in hers. Now I'm starting to see a slight increase in what it was before. I'm not a "major player" in the providers arena and I don't post a lot, but I'm active enough and talk to those who are to notice a change. Maybe it's a conscious decision by hobbyists to look outside their local area or perhaps just another side effect of the changing economy.
Or perhaps I just started another over discussed thread LOL
The location thing seems to get brought up weekly. I don't have any hard and fast rules about location.
