I recently had a provider tell me about a girl who gave the cross streets near her hotel in her ad.
She then said a girl she knows who works at a high end hotel near the streets in the ad said LE dropped off pictures of the lady to the front desk and not at just her hotel but others in the area.  
Perfect reason to blur your face and just give general area of where you are at.
She said she tried to warn the girl and got yelled at for trying to help and now says she just wants to mind her own because you can not help those who do not want to be helped.

   The same thing happened to me I tried to tell a lady about this and she did not want my help.
At first she said I have been to Chicago 5 times I know what I am doing do you think I am stupid. She was offended and even thought I was trying to set her up and said LE does not even go on TER  She asked me what's a matter do you not find me attractive. You contact me to warn me about this but you do not want to make an appt. She then went on to say people do not do this kind of thing and found it weird that a stranger was trying to help her.  WTF ?
  I then told another provider I know about this and she said do not let this discourage you from  
trying to help others because at the end of the day you will be a better person and feel better about yourself for making the effort to help others.  Well I have always thought this way and at the moment just a little shell shocked.

It always amazes when people post info like street names, hotel names, or other detailed info on a public board.  LE does read the boards.  It is even worse when you give them helpful advice and they react like you are trying to kill them.  If those people don't want to be helped, f#ck em!  There are others that are more appreciative of helpful info.

Don't get discouraged.....it's apart of life. I have given girls and people in my 'CIVIE' life plenty of warnings on certain issues and they did not want the help. Just know that you were trying to help and if they ask again for your help or advice ignore them.  It's not worth the drama.  

That was sweet of you to help the girls. Some just want or have to learn the hard way.

A gesture of good will is always the way to go whether people appreciate it or not. Why? Because it's who you are and if you didn't try to help people you wouldn't feel like you! : ) I can relate as a former Red Cross Volunteer. I traveled from NYC to help after Hurricane Katrina for 2 months. The entire time I was down there locals kept turning their noses down at me just because I was from NYC!!! Never mind the gas cans, the perishables, the medical supplies, the clothes, the toys AND the cash donated - they wanted nothing to do with me. I took it somewhat personally for a long time until I realized that some people simply don't have a broad enough viewpoint to appreciate all that they should sometimes. I go out of my way to support my provider sisters in Florida and often they crucify me on the board for doing so where as others are all about a sister-friendly environment. The world is made up off all kinds. Keep your chin up and never stop lending a helping hand!!!

ps. I would have absorbed that information in a NY minute!!!!

That's just sad. Screw anyone else there are plenty of people who don't mind free advice.  

Thanks for being awesome!!!

Laney, that's just nuts! I'm from NY, and I've been down to the Gulf a lot for business. I know the attitude that people can have. "We can fend for ourselves, etc." "Don't need no yankee to help me, I got my pride", etc.  And I suspect that many of those folks were good "church going" people. But insulting someone who was providing charity assistance???  That's just too much.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm just stunned at the small mindedness!

I agree with the provider you spoke with. Don't let this event discourage you. Simply sharing this incident on the boards will help new ladies avoid the mistake of listing their cross street. That said, reaching out is beyond helpful. You went out of your way.  

There are some ladies that know it all and insist on learning their way. You never know who they are until you try to educate them Just like you never know who really didn't know better and want the help until you try

You did the right thing.

Amidst all the flaming and name-calling, I see nothing from anyone in this forum that indicates any awareness of how our Good Samaritan's advice might be received by its recipient —or even that such awareness on the part of an advice-giver might be a consideration.

Unsolicited advice and the motives of those who offer it are rightly open to suspicion, and at minimum may simply be unwanted for reasons the advice-giver may not have even thought of.

That said, it's no secret that the idea of thinking before one speaks is foreign to many.  Those who blunder in this direction may, if they are lucky, reluctantly discover that they also have some learning to do.

Providers absolutely hate being told how to do their job by hobbyist. Personally, I take all the advice that I can get to protect myself.

IMO, she should know better to know that Chicago hotels are notorious for seeking out providers. Front desk and security keeping images of girls checking in is pretty common, but issuing alerts to nearby hotels is very characteristic of Chicago hotels where the higher-ups in hotel security are usually retired policemen with strong connections to the police department.  I've already heard so many stories of busts that happen, even at establishments where I have stayed. How sad that providers can be completely delusional by believing 4-5 star hotels equate to immunity.  

I've never been arrested but from what I have been told by other providers, just the aftermath is not worth it. Typically, in an arrest, they take you down the service elevator so other guests do not know what is going on. All your stuff in taken away and locked into police storage which takes a few days after your arrest to be able to retrieve (minus phone, computer, and cash which are used as evidence). You are blacklisted from ever entering that hotel again and if you check into nearby hotels, you are definitely put on a watch list. Just for starters....
