But TER makes it easier.  And it's amazing how prior to the Internet hobbyists would skulk around in total anonymity, not having much meaningful contact with other guys that shared this hobby.

I am writng this from Florida, where I'm spending a few days with 1way, a fellow hobbyist and great friend.  Last night, he was with a fav of his, and when she left, he still had some spunk and he still had some cash, so he called an agency and ordered himself up another lady.  Oh, to be young again!

The reason for this story is to show you a difference between 2 guys.  I take Viagra for medical reasons.  Without it I cannot hobby at all.  It allows me, regardless of outcome only one date per day.  With this limitation, I am very careful, as my reviews bear out, to chose a lady that I know will in all liklihood be fully enjoyable.  That's where TER excels.

Can I hobby without TER?  Sure.  But why?  If TER and the like would suddenly disappear (God Forbid!!!) I would still hobby and endeavor to find other resources to assist me in my quests.

Insofar as your friend from NJ is concerned, having never hobbyed in the Garden State, I cannot give him any first hand information, so I elected not to help out.  Honesty reigns, at least here.  If I was able to assist, I would have probably PM'd him and not posted very much in this very public forum.  Many guys will attest to my generosity when it comes to sharing information.  I simply elect most often to do it privately.
