... and no follow-up? Super-weird, bordering on creepy...

I was in a music venue in my home town Chiraq, listening to some good music, having some good booze. (The tender was giving me double shots too I think. Oops. I'm not a drinker, so I don't look for that shit lol. Next time I'll ask. Oops!)

Anyway, back to the story.

This guy, older, probably 50, give or take a few years, looks like your typical John, (which to me is any guy that walks the planet lol,) came up to my table and gave me a mischievous smile. The "I know something you don't know" smile. He said, "You look almost exactly like someone I know of. Don't worry, that's a compliment. Your personality matches too. Maybe I'll see you around sometime." Winks, tips his hat, (actually his beer that he walked out with???) and left.

Lmao. Now THAT is a reason to think, "Maybe he's a John." I don't remember seeing him as a client, but he may have been like, "Maybe she's a hooker. THAT hooker." lol.  

This was a while back, I think in March 2014. I had my head completely chopped off of all my photos, but you could kind of tell by the hair style at the time. That has only happened ONCE in the entire time I've been doing this, which is a little over a year.

Actually it's called "Hooker....or not"

And I'm not a drinker either.

The ones who look like hookers, aren't.

Sometimes it's tough to know the players without a scorecard.

Sounds like the guy that left just in front of him put him up to it. But he may be that good. Most of the time when I am out and about I am looking, not speaking though. Thought I saw one in particular on Sat. but when she turned around she was just a baby.

for being indiscrete.  I've run accross providers, at most we exchange nods like strangers who pass, to show they mean no harm.  It's sloppy & careless of him and sloppy gets you (or him) caught.

... and no follow-up? Super-weird, bordering on creepy...

Reminds me of an email I once got from a total stranger. Something to the effect of "my buddy cheated on his wife as a client of yours, then he confessed to his wife. The other day, my wife and his wife went to Outback and she recognized you as the hostess. Later my wife relayed this story to me, and since I've met the hostess and compared her to your pictures, I'm pretty sure you two are one and the same."  

First, I'm not that Outback hostess (and I feel badly for the poor girl as she has likely been creeped on by this dude because of her supposed resemblance to me). But the main thing that really bugs me is I think he made up the whole story about the friend and wives, he just didn't want to admit that he thought he had recognized me from his own hooker-shopping. It was really ominous and sketchy. Had he actually recognized me somewhere instead of mistaking some hostess for me, I'd be thoroughly upset.

It's full of creepazoids of both sexes.  Nature of the beast.

I like to think that most people are reasonably rational human beings, so it's amazing to me that anyone who operates at a functional level would think that that would do anything other than creep someone out.

Sex is the most primal thing we do.  As a result, there are more neuroses relating to sex than any other activity.  So since this little world revolves around sex it inevitably attracts Wack-Os of all varieties and both sexes. If it didn't, you wouldn't have to screen nearly as thoroughly.

Have you ever talked to someone, and they are gossiping about someone you don't know personally. The person you are conversing with says "hey you know so&so?" You answer with "the guy with the hot GF?"  

That's when the drop the "yeah she's a stripper"

 
.... Have you ever talked to those guys, why do they say that?

Don't you know any lunatics... or ever heard such a story?

 
I've seen it reenacted on television and in movies, What would a person find relevant in such a conversation? Why mention it?

 
I think those guys think such things will impress other guys.

Why some guys actually think it's a good idea to tell her these things in such a creepy way. So what if he saw her or recognize her,  better to stfu about it in front of her friends.  

What happened to discretion? Privacy?  

We all know that all it does is creep the girl out.  

Like a few weeks ago,  when I was visiting your town for a few days  I ran into a girl who looks just like you. It was a popular bar near campus.  In fact I had my doubts but started wondering if she was you from the similar figure,  the same college major,  and location of tats. What are the chances? I didn't say anything about the hobby though. Yes I was that guy you were hitting on that night. lol

If he recognized you he should have done one of 2 things.  Walked away and mentioned it next time he booked you.  Or #2 - came up and said Hi Courtney! Or whatever name he knew you by.  What he actually did was creep you out with a pseudo pick up line that helped neither of you.  

I saw a provider on the street one time whom I had been with.  It was no big deal.  I said Hi, she said Hi.  Introduced me to her boyfriend as a customer of hers and told me she had quit that waitressing job and didn't do that anymore. I shook the guys hand, said see ya and that was it.  All nice and easy.  They had moved into my neighborhood.  I saw them like 20 times after that, pretty sure they got married.  Always said hello and moved on.  Providers are people just like the rest of us guys no need to be stalkerish.  Even saw the guy at a local pub once and bought him a beer.  Nice dude.  My ppint is, why scare anybody or blow up their spot?  It boggles my mind.
.

If you see me in public and say "Hi Tobi!" I am going to be extremely pissed off. That's the same as one of us ladies coming up to a client when we see him out with his wife and we go "Oh hi, John!" Then he has to try to explain that shit to his wife. You even bought that chick's boyfriend a beer? Christ, man. Approaching her when she was out with him was bad enough (it's obvious she had to make up the waitress story on the fly). Seriously, don't do that.

Ok maybe just "Hi" with no name.  Fact was I didn't approach them, we walked through a crowded street and kind of came upon each other.  I didn't even realize she was with anyone and she gave me a smile as we came up to each other.  As for buying the guy a drink.  I was in the bar and he came over to me.  I never set out to find her, or him, it just kind of happened.

Why not follow up with a question to find out where he’s coming from instead of assuming?  

Like: "Sir, do I know you, and what do you mean? What are you trying to say?"

However, if he creeped you out and you didn’t want to be bothered, you did the best thing for yourself at the time. (Just saying

Several years ago...okay, many years ago...like 8 or 9 maybe, I had booked myself a room at a hotel a couple of cities away from where I live.   As I walked through the lobby (wearing Levi jeans, a tank top and baseball cap) at about midnight, the young man at the front desk nodded his head at me and said "hello".  I nodded back and said "good night".  As I entered my room, the phone was ringing.  I answered it, and it was the young man at the front desk.  

Young Man: " Ummmm, Ummmm, Ummmm, I'm sorry to bother you, but...I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"  
Me:  "Excuse me?"
Young Man:  "Oh Miss Alexander, I am your biggest fan!"  

He goes on to explain that he is a member of TER and that he recognized me from my photos.  I found this to be odd because I had made it a point never to show my face.  However, there was one photo that showed my entire backside...from head to heel, and that, combined with the telephone number I was using at the time, did he put the puzzle together.  

Well, he ended up moving me to the only suite the hotel had (at no charge)...complete with a Jacuzzi tub surrounded by Roman type pillars.  (similar to the one pictured, but not quite so opulent)  

True story!

Insane. Same thing happened to me in North Carolina. Only he didn't say who I was, just the wink and explanation of an upgrade in a secret hallway. Umm ok, lol. I'm still here I guess.

Some times I wonder if they're phishing for information... But it's genuine. I'm very good at looking like the 'confused lady that's trying to act like she's just agreeing and being overly nice because the other person looks like an idiot and is way off'

That was a run on, but for a reason lol,
