My side..

And a certain hobbyist thinks that I have a pimp?...seriously? This story wasn't quite told the way it happened. Of course there is his story vs hers. You heard his, now here is mine. Met him in chat he commented on how beautiful I was and asked me how much it would take for me to be exclusively his. He said how he could take care of me and make sure that I didn't want for anything. He said that he would put me up in a nice hotel and make sure I was taken care of if I was only to be with him. I thought ..wow..never heard this before...but ok. I was on my way to Dallas and told him I would let him know when I was coming back. When I started home he told me that I should stop by his place on the way home. I didn't feel comfortable doing so, because I found him rather arrogant. I had already booked a room in SA locally and informed him that I had arrived and told him he was more than welcome to come see me then. He let me know when he was in the car. He arrived and I had him wait no longer than 10 min to finish getting ready. We were in the room and I excused myself to change clothes. While in the bathroom he made a rude comment about my clothing. We started our session and when he attempted to bbfs I demanded he use a condom. After the session was finished and we had gotten dressed he was laying across my bed and said.."well that was about 30 min worth..its what 125." I said ,"no my 30 min session is 150" he then got into his pocketbook and pulled out another 25 and tossed it on the bed. I understand this is where I messed up. First I should have gotten the money upfront, and if it wasn't the right amount then I should have mentioned it then. My bad!!. I am a non confrontational person. He got up and I walked him down and out of the hotel. After he left I met my bf outside. He saw I was visibly upset and asked what was the matter. I told him that I would not be seeing him again and that he only paid me or half hour, when we all 3 knew he was there for longer than an hour. He called the hobbyist and asked him to bring the balance of the donation back to the hotel because I had been shorted 100. When he arrived back at the hotel he called my bf and asked him to meet him on the side of the hotel and asked him what color shirt he was wearing. My bf left the room but before he went downstairs looked out the window and saw himc and 2 police cars waiting on the corner of the hotel. He was talking to 2 of them. We didn't go downstairs or talk to anyone. I had decided to let this incident go, but then the infamous review came out. I have held my tongue long enough. I understand there are certain things that I should have done myself, but being in this biz is stressful enough and we shouldn't have to be concerned with the gentlemen trying to scam or bargain for our services. One persons false words can destroy the life of someone that doesn't like confrontation and only tries to make everyone but herself happy. Granted if you look at the review and all of the comments that follow you will see that he didn't have a problem with me or my services..his problem was that he was called out for trying to scam me...with all of this being said...who is the real pimp? or punk?

Very nice to gave your side of the story. Thank you.

All this controversy over one Ben Franklin? Does your boyfriend/pimp/SO/Gladheate'er/[Staff edit. M] or whatever realize how much potential business he might have cost you going forward?

You have your fans and satisfied customers and a client base, but anyone who hasn't seen you and does a proper search will find this trainwreck. And many hobbyists won't see girls who have loose cannons for boyfriends or pimps.

You definitely should have handled this yourself without getting [Staff edit. M] involved. If you and curtymac can't work it out then you have other options to explore.

It's OK to have someone in the background watching your back, in case you are threatened with bodily harm, but having him confront a client over a lousy Ben is definitely not cool, IMO.

Too much drama for me!

I am sure the phone call from your boy friend went like this: "Hello, you didnt leave the whole donation for my girlfriend, could you please return with the proper amount" and not like this, "Hey fool who you fuckn with, you better bring back the full amount now or Im gonna fuck you up".

Trynagetlaid hit the nail on the head. If he did short you, the hobbiest was wrong, no denying or disputing that from me. However, there are many better ways to have handled this IMHO than how it went down. Like he said, for a lousy Benjamin, you costs yourself countless amounts of business, worth well-over $100.

I've flagged you on my "Do not see list" and I'm sure at least a few others have or will as well. We're paying top dollar for company, and with that, I want assurance there is no trouble/drama involved. You may have been 100% in the right, but for the risk of problems/drama, I'll take my business elsewhere. You've spoken your side, he's spoken his side, and people will decide how they want to interpret the facts. Best of luck to you carrying forward from here.

"Boyfriend" = PIMP
You're flagged on my DNS list.

We all take enough chances in the hobby to deal with any drama albeit extensive drama, things will need to settle down extensively before I would see this provider. Just don't need any added problems to deal with.

Compare post #15 in this thread http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=296319 . Note the word "I" on the rate. Freudian slip?

Thank you for your input. I do appreciate the feedback. Although money has been lost due to this, I still hold myself to a higher standard. No, Boyfriend does not equal pimp. That is the farthest from the truth. Some of you have decided not to see me...that will be your loss. Some have decided to take your biz elsewhere, I have done the same. When I came to SA I had a perfect review record and high hopes, In leaving SA, i feel devastation and I see nothing more than a bunch of guys that pick apart anything and everything. I mean come on...grammatical error and everyone's panties are in a wad...seriously? Imagine when you have done nothing other than try to survive in a world where what you do is only acceptable by yourself and the guys. It becomes a lonely place when its You against everyone else, and all you wanted was for someone to do the right thing. There is no drama...nor will there ever be as long as you do the right thing. My life was actually getting back on track, things were looking up. The obstacles that I have overcome are tremendous compared to this. Anyone who knows me, or knows me and [Staff edit. M], know the truth. The rest doesn't matter.

Having an SO and being in this business must be a challenge. However, the two MUST be kept seperate. I am sorry you had a jerk for a customer but letting the SO get involved was a big mistake. Time and terrific customer service will allow this to pass. We all have made mistakes that cost us in one form or another.

Best of luck in your new adventures!

Both parties have stated their case.
