I was browsing through the posts of a lady who recently advertised in the Corpus Christi forum, and found the following. I believe this is my favorite all-time post, and feel it is worth copying here (especially in light of recent drama). We should all have this attitude.
Hi All!
Some of you may know me from the Houston forums, and although I now live here in Austin, I rarely post in this forum...
But lately, I've really felt the need to. Whispers' most current thread (Why do we Play the way we do? Independent Providers vs Agency Girls vs Dancers that P4P vs Civiliains that P4P vs Sugarbabies - eccie.net) truly struck a nerve with me and I wanted to start this thread and get some input:
Because we as providers and hobbyists are for the most part, social misfits, it saddens and disappoints me to see so much mudslinging and and animosity towards each other. It seems to me like people on both sides feel like they are being fucked (and not in a good way lol) by each other. Why is this?
My feelings as a provider are this:
Although this is my job, it's my passion as well. I LIKE what I do. And this year, on the dawn of my 24th birthday, I can say I have been more places, and done and seen more things than my civvie girlfriends my age. Why? Because I am a provider....
With that said, I never, ever forget what I am providing to someone who decides to see me. I understand, realize and whole-heartedly appreciate what all of my clients go through just to pay to spend time with me. So many men sacrifice their jobs, family, and social standing just to pay for a few hours of my time. Why in the world would I would I view hobbyists with contempt?
So why am I reading so may hurtful, accusatory and just down right mean things from many of the hobbyists on this forum? Why do you feel cheated? I appreciate you and I hope you appreciate me...
I am a young, childless, single woman who travels the nation providing escort services. I'm barely 5'5 and weigh 110lbs soaking wet... I may talk a good game, but at the end of the day, I am tiny woman and if someone wanted to do harm to me, they very easily could. This fear is what I deal with on daily basis. Not mention my family and friends deserting me because I work in the adult industry... or getting in trouble with the law... or the crippling lonliness and isolation that comes along with living a secret life.
I'm sorry to be long winded, but my point is that hobbyists and providers are partners... NOT adversaries. Can we please stop demeaning each other? Hobbyists can you please stop telling us providers how much we are monetarily worth? Providers can you please stop bitching about guys who can't afford your rates(and, its high time to treat the ones who CAN pay your rates with with the ultimate respect)? Hell, we're really the only ones who understand each other. Now lets all sing "Kumbaya" and go fuck.
