It's very interesting what skills can hobbying bring abouts. I don't know about you guys but I think I am able to recognize providers and hobbyists in the lobby of the hotels now. I have been hobbying for a year now with a little over a dozen providers experience. In the last two months, I had to do some traveling for work and on two occasions, I could tell ladies checking into the hotels were providers. Both ladies were dressed in casual clothing but I could tell they were providers. Of course, tool hobbyists are easier to spot. They would sit in the lobby, holding their cell phone in hand, keep looking at their phone to wait for the text to go up, and just looked antsy or nervous while sitting there. Shit, I know I did that the first 3-4 times.

Is it my imagination of recognizing providers and hobbyists or I am hobbying too much and think everyone else is in the hobbying game?

Hey Newbie673,

I think you are overthinking this a bit.

Not all ladies who dress casually are providers in the hotel lobby. I've seen casual dressed ladies who got out of their cars acted like they have driven for hours. Those are the business ladies, not providers. I mean, I wouldn't want to be driving for 8 hours in my best business suit, that doesn't make sense.

Not all guys who are looking at the cell phones every 15 seconds are hobbyists, some are probably waiting for their co-workers to show up because their company had reserved a block of rooms at a certain negotiated rate and they are not able to check in until everyone else arrives. I ought to know... I worked for a company like that. I always arrived early... then I sit in the lobby... waiting... waiting... then finally the rest show up. Yes, I did check my phone a lot.

So, stop making assumptions and don't worry too much about what others may or may not be doing.

Just act relaxed as much as possible and enjoy your session.

Newbie673, you make some curious assertions below:  

Crackpot Idea #1 : "I could tell ladies checking into the hotels were providers. Both ladies were dressed in casual clothing but I could tell they were providers."

 I usually encounter this type of thinking from religious fanatics & right-wing nuts (these two traits often go together).   What else do you know about these women just by looking at them?   There's a psychological term called 'projection' where a less than rational individual projects their wishes & fantasies onto others.  

Crackpot Idea #2. "Of course, tool hobbyists are easier to spot. . They would sit in the lobby, holding their cell phone in hand, keep looking at their phone to wait for the text to go up, and just looked antsy or nervous while sitting there."

 More projection here.  Since you admit that you're a business traveller, I'm surprised by these assumptions.   There's all kinds of people in this world, including businessmen nervously checking their cell phones before a meeting with a major client or a presentation for their regional manager.  The attractive women in casual clothes that you assume were providers: they might be that businessman's major client or perhaps his regional manager who arrived early at the hotel.

Good Idea #1:  "Is it my imagination of recognizing providers and hobbyists or I am hobbying too much and think everyone else is in the hobbying game?"

Yes, let's go with Good Idea #1.   --z

No, it is NOT your imagination. As you've learned, there are certain "tells" that paid escorts and clients show which are dead giveaways.

Just because a woman is in casual clothes i a hotel lobby does not make her a provider.  What was it about them that told you they were providers other than they are single women checking into a hotel?  I'm in Florida and most people checking into a hotel will be dressed casually.

As far as the men go, a competent hobbyist will not be hanging around the lobby watching his cell phone.  That is the last place he should be contacting his date for the room number.  If he is smart, he will know the number before entering the hotel and just go straight to the elevator and not hang around the lobby.  You call shortly before arriving to get the room number, not when you are in the lobby.

Lastly, why are you hanging around the lobby if you are there for a date?  You should just come in, go to the elevator, and act like you belong there.  Hanging around the lobby is never a good idea.

Your Profiling. Your taking your limited exposure and experience and placing everyone in your box.

I travel a lot on personal non companion business. When you see me checking into a hotel you have no idea why I am there. I could be in casual clothes, a business suit or whatever. Am I there on business, pleasure, companionship, or a combination of all? Better yet am I there on business but really looking forward to finding a good one-nighter at the hotel bar after work to scratch an itch?

If you can get all of those correct even 75% of the time, I want you as my stock broker.
