Lately I have been encountering Bad Attitudes:

ems are harder to come by and the mediocre experience of people leaves much left to be desired.  Yes, that is why we are here, to slake our thirsts of desire with something that truly quenches.  Gems come out of adversity and pressure and making the harder choices, not the easy and lazy choices.  Being class and finding class requires us to hunt and requires us to use all of our wiles and what we've learned thus far to spot the good ones, to find the gems worth digging for and once found....  to savor them even more.  This hobby is no exception...   A few hundred dollars is no guarantee of paradise.  Luckily, women who sound awful on the phone are saving you time and money unwittingly.  

I’m sorry to hear about your troubles, but I can’t say I’ve encountered much of that. I use TER VIP status to shop for my companions to ensure compatability and leverage P411 as my primary meathod of first contact. It’s not foolproof, but it certainly weeds out the providers that don’t respect the hobby.

But in defense of the bitchy providers I've encountered, I do ask for some pretty revolting services, So I expect only about a 1-in-10 close-ratio...

but, your response to your string of bad attitude luck is to have a bad attitude??   Pot calling the kettle black, don't you think?

^^^^^ ^..^ awe shucks, you're making me blush in places

"I've got plenty of clients, I dont need you" & "I can post or say whatever I want cuz I'm a hot comodity" ...Attitudes are usually deal breakers.
But there was one provider on my local board that was very popular.  After reading many of her posts, it seems she barely like men!  I I was fascinated.  Yeah, twisted.  She retired before I got a chance to meet her.  Which made sense considering her attitude.
So to each his own I guess.
Just know some of us guys pay attention to that stuff.

And I've been fortunate to find some truly exquisite gems in the Twin Cities provider community... women whose inner beauty outshines their physical beauty, and skill... as wonderful as those are!  

And on the bright side at least you found out before you actually made an appointment.  But for my part most of the ladies I deal with have good attitudes.

I have been a hobbyist for a little over a year now and I have no idea what you're talking about. All of the experiences I have had have been wonderful. I've had the pleasure of sharing the company of a number of extraordinary and extremely professional ladies; Trinity, Portia, Katherine Astor, Elan and Melissa to name a few. If you're having all of the problems you describe I think you maybe responsible for them.

Hey Bossik,  I think you've listed some of the most obvious "gems" compatible for most hobbyists and you've taken the time to approach us all well (from my experience you're exemplary in your approach).  I still enjoy looking at your elegant gift to be consumed at some perfect time.   I have heard in earnest from the field however that experiences do vary once treading into, especially BP... where it is very much hit or miss, or even TER where a number of men have come to me rather wary and weary.  

What I have found is most providers are smokers, or out-of-shape, or do not enjoy what they are doing(doing it only for the money). In all my years of hobbying, I have repeated with 3 providers: 2 of whom have dissappeared.  

I'm not sure why anyone would knowingly want to see some of the worst providers.  Maybe if he's a masochist?  But I agree with the idea of seeking out the gems that may not be obvious, and finding something wonderful and unexpected.  I've had some wonderful surprises in this "grand adventure".  I've also had a few not-so-wonderful surprises... but they were my fault, for not doing sufficient research beforehand.  And they weren't terrible experiences at all... just not what I'd expected or hoped for.  But I learned a lot from them, met some interesting ladies, and these experiences helped me hone my gem-searching skills until I learned to find those "gems of great value".

I would not apologize for that, either. Although I would add to my vacation responder when I would return and when I would be returning all emails/messages. But apologize?

On first blush you are coming off as both a drama queen and AHole hobbyist.

FYI It is Option B.  

While I have certainly met a few that are as you describe, most that I see are young, pretty, full of life, enthusiastic, etc... BUT! This is precisely why I mainly see teenagers and girls that are new to the industry and don't have reviews... Because the provider-lifestyle does put more wear and tear on her body and emotional stability than normal...

I haven't seen a FS provider for under $300/hr in over 3 years, so I can't make any recommendations for you other than to try to nudge your price point up. (I also can't recomend a place with $2 a gallon gas, or a reliable new car for under $5,000) Most of the quality FS providers are all settled in at the $350/hr mark (or higher)now. There is reason for that.

and that is why I stick to them. They have always been nothing but kind, courteous, and professional.

No pun intended.  

Yeah. I haven't done FS yet (working on referrals) but have been scouting. Sub-300 I see a lot of reduced services, bad ratings, or red flags in the review. By red flags I mean unsafe practices (recently read a review where a $200 provider supposedly gave bareback sex), incalls to bad neighborhoods, lack of discretion, erratic reviews that may hint at health problems, etc. Exceptions definitely seem to exist and there seem to be several high quality providers that choose a 250 price point to make up the money in quantity of appointments, but it has gotten to the point where I am crossing off FS providers whose price is too low, taking it as an indicator of a problem, even if I can't see what it is yet.

I guess I'm just lucky. Over the last 15 years over 90% of the ladies I've seen
have had good attitudes.

Very nice response, well spoken. One who can cut to the chase of the issue. Bravo.

You are calling some agencies?  Some of them teach the girls to have "attitude" aka be rude when the guys what to pay less or have questions. The thought behind that is the girls will appear more desirable thus the men will not question when they call back. Hanging up on a client is common practice.
