I'm a fan of ladies (and gents) participating on the boards to get to know them better.  People sharing their likes and dislikes, opinions, and advice make life interesting.  Lively debate and bawdy exchanges make the time pass a little easier.  For me anyway.  I love stories.  But you probably know that by now.  

I am not naming names but there are women who I won't see because they post something along the line of:

E,

Interesting.  I haven't seen much of that but now I'll be on the watch.  I can see where it would be indiscreet for a lady to call a gent out in that way, and how it could also make it awkward for her other clients.

I've been told I'm very opinionated.   They like that about me.  I don't hold back and I'm always honest.  I like to be upfront and forthcoming in everything I do.  I used to be nice to a fault and was stepped on repeatedly.  Now,  I really just try to be a kind and good person and tell it like I see it.  You, generally speaking may not always or ever agree with me, but, that's what makes the world go round'.  I live with a healthy conscience.  

I think you're looking at that in a manner that kind of inconsistent with why girls post stuff like that. I'm not sure on motives of others, as I only have  my personal experience, but it's actually the opposite. I have fans and secret admirers  that buy me things occasionally and I thank them for it--sometimes publicly, sometimes privately. It's being done out of gratitude for whatever it was and showing appreciation for that.

I think quite a while ago, I may have used what I found on social media, boards, reviews, etc as some sort of deciding factor of if I was willing to see them or not. Over time that's kind of evolved in a manner that /most/ of it is irrelevant, with some additional pragmatism sprinkled on.

"Think before send"...?  I'll have to try that sometime.

Khori,

I absolutely agree on the appreciation angle and I'm all for that.

Great post, thank you.

A ladies board persona would definitely be a factor in seeing them.
Everybody wants good chemistry, no?

I don't see this kind of stuff on the boards a lot, usually on twitter.  

When someone gives me their TER username, I do look at whitelists and contact the ladies there for references on a client. I don't typically look for their board posts, reviews, and etc.  

LOL!  Sparks do add to a zesty session!  Agree!  I try not to argue,  unless it's for more um....fun!  

Lol, whenever I hear "Sparky" I think of Clark Griswold.

Yes, I agree with you.  For me it factors in.
I look for a good sense of humor and a sense of adventure or open mindedness.  Also I look for someone that doesn't take themselves too seriously.

Ah, now I see - I pretty much ignore twitter.  That's probably why I haven't seen it.

Yes, that's very understandable that you wouldn't want to meet someone that has a history of being derogatory or abusive.  Absolutely.

Yeah right, not in this fucking lifetime. lmao

LOL I find your posts to add up net neutral and make logical sense, which is the most important thing.
