Altered Circumstances Test:  During a session at a hotel or residence, leave valuables in plain sight. However, the valuables are not the genuine article (for example, a replica high-end watch, attractive cosmetic stones set in a ring, or high-quality counterfeit money).

I've seen many guys who remove watches, etc etc. during our date but never once have I ever thought to pocket it. My mother always taught me you don't take what is not yours.... and when my friend is already giving me so much why ruin it by taking something so small and insignificant to me? I would rather have a friend for life than a man's watch lol. Lets see how this goes. I think a provider taking any item would be damaging to her character ---- she took something, end of story. Does not matter how valuable.

You are SO right.....if not yours, you don't touch it. For me, there would NEVER be a second chance. I rarely use the word NEVER. This is one case I do. Trust and respect are everything to me. Without them you have nothing.

A good example is a man who showers, I always want anyone to feel completely comfortable and I don't want someone to even wonder the slightest about their things while they shower....I'm pretty sure most of my "regular friends" wouldn't ever be worried of this, yet when meeting someone new I encourage them to leave the bathroom door open so we can chit chat a little or take their stuff in or whatever they want I have seen one take in his pants & most keep the door partially open so we can hear each other some.
      I'm not sure if anyone ever worried about this after having met me, but as a person who has had her home robbed a few years back, ((thankfully I was out of town at the time))
 I know how violated & almost paranoid one feels after such an attack....I do see it as an attack- violating someone's property even if the robber is a stranger & its not violating trust, its attacking that persons sense of security & safety and that's pretty low!!  
       Anyway I agree with Natalie, handle yourself the way you were raised, do onto others...Trust is a very precious thing, most times more so then anything materialistic.

I know it's just a hypothetical situation but I would not involve counterfeit money.  Where would you get it anyway?  I have noticed a couple of girls holding bills up to the light though.  

I don't like the idea either.  I think it not only opens too many opportunities for things to not work out as expected, but our integrities are constantly being tested anyways.

...besides, I've never been in such a position to worry about it. I'm fully alert and aware of my environment when I'm with a lady and I really don't want to shower after we've finished...I'd rather steep in her aura by not washing for as long as possible afterward. I haven't ever owned a watch over $500 anyway but the only thing I would worry about is my laptop. I keep my cash locked in the room safe at all times, not just because I have a lady friend visiting me.

the item is filled with Skunk scent (or some other vile smelling liquid, but nothing dangerous) and it opens up automatically in a couple of hours if you don't "shut it off".

You can look at the world as full of people trying to take advantage of you, or with a few people who might try to take advantage of you. Different ways of looking at the world, that reveal different ideas about what you think the world is.

...what would they likely give me for it and what would they, in turn, try to sell it for? I've never sold or bought anything from a Pawn Shop so I'm clueless. And, as I remember from my Business Law classes, someone who purchases property from a Pawn Shop never has clear title to it and the original owner still retains some rights to that property, no?

Make it sardines!!

There has only been one provider that looking back I would suspect would if given the opportunity. She caused issues for a few guys on here and change the way I would go into a room with a new girl. Prior I never worried about a nice watch or a substantial money clip. Truth is in over 10 years I've never been robbed and my favorite know I carry a lot of cash.

On one occasion I had an extra $50 bill in the back pocket of my pants.  I did not realize that it had fallen out of my pocket.  After I got out of the shower I returned to the bedroom.  The young lady pointed to the nightstand and the 50 was laying where she'd placed it, as she told me she thought it had fallen out of my clothes.  I was and remain very impressed with her honesty

I am not a big fan of this idea.  I spend my whole day wrangling with complex issues, difficult situations, convoluted political forces...  I don't need any of that in my hobby life, I just want to be loved on by a nurturing woman who needs to love on me almost as much.  Planting land mines and monitoring the provider's intentions just sucks the very life out of what I was hoping to have.
