Let me preface this by saying that I absolutely love touring indys and I hope that we get more ladies to visit the Hub. However these days, my hobbying has advanced to a different stage.

I have 3 ATFs who are local Bostonian ladies mid 20s-early 30s, who work from their homes. One is a totally UTR and the others rarely advertise. Since I'm in finance, I can definitely say that the ROI is amazing.Since I am doing ok these days, multi hour appointments are not an issue, but with these ladies, they have turned into dinners, hitting the clubs, and going well beyond the appointments. I am really enjoying this aspect of hobbying and their company.

Don't get me wrong, I think ladies on tour are amazing, but it's trouble if you get addicted to one

And don't tell anyone via PM who you're referring to because I'm very sure that you have a special relationship with those ladies because they like you.

Beware though, all that glitters isn't gold and while you're enjoying the benefits of extra time and affection understand that many, many hobbyists have gone there before you and 9 times out of 10 it ends horribly.

Its a business.  Respect it.  Meet your friends in the produce aisle or at happy hour or on Facebook lest you wind up in a nasty situation with a provider that will be hard to get out of.

amen brother !!!!

Just wait until one of those girls pull a Michelle Robinson on you.

If you don't know what I mean google it.

Try Googling "Michelle Robinson Boston"
The reference is to a provider who presumably backmailed a hobbiest with lots of money and connections.

It's scary you don't know about it.

She worked for a Yellow Pages agency and ended up blackmailing a wealthy regular who was doing overnights and the like. She got him for about $300K (if I remember correctly) before he realized it was never going to end and got the cops after her.

Solid points, Gents.

I should scale it back.

Isn't it easier to get addicted to local ladies
since they are around and available much more
often?

As a hobbyist, I am glad the judge didn't release the name of the client, but as an interested citizen, it seems like the judge was bending over backwards to protect him.  I wonder if the judge was a hobbyist too?

I find it one of the challenges of hobbying to balance my desire for something more that a 60 minute trick with an ATF against the fact that she is there because it is her job.  Very easy to slip into small head thinking and, no disparagement of providers intended, but in my experience they are more than happy for you to delude yourself.  Has cost me considerably on a few occasion.  I did try a relationship with a "non-pro"/mistress for a while thinking this was an answer but she pulled the Michelle Robinson thing and I still have to look over my shoulder.  Bottom line here is that romantic illusions are great and can make time spent with a provider seem much more satisfying. But illusions have their cost.

She looks awfully familiar.
