...maybe it's time to take a break for awhile?

Since the holidays I've had...

2 encounters with bat shit crazy...

One regular no longer willing to tour my area...our last night together was very emotional for both of us...

One regular bitten by the complacency bug...2 dates in a row were less than satisfying...

One regular jailed on charges unrelated to escorting...she gave her public defender my number as a possible source of bail money...that was a very short conversation...

I have nothing scheduled until the end of February, when I have a dream date arranged that will take 2 months of my hobbying budget to pay for...

Sometimes I wonder if I really just suck at this, if I'm unlucky, if I'm making bad choices, or if I have unreasonable expectations regarding the meaning of "no strings attached"...

And I'm sorry about your unfortunate encounters, that really sucks.  About all I can suggest is take some time off from the hobby, and get active on your local regional board, if you're not already.  Unfortunately, there is nothing I can suggest to alleviate the problems your local providers (and the lack thereof).  Only you can evaluate your expectations of providers and you're assumed bad choices.  Ask yourself if you are doing sufficient research on providers you visit or could you do more in checking them out.

Good luck with your dream date later this month, be sure to let us know how it goes.  You can always PM me if you need some private answers.

LLAP,

but your last paragraph may have nailed it.

Have you noticed that some posters constantly have issues with providers? They get stood up, they got robbed, they fall in love with women that don't love them back, some guys can't even manage a simple dinner date without fucking it all up.  

And then there are the other guys, the guys that rarely if ever post about ever having an issue with the women here that was worth bringing to the peanut gallery. Some of us so rarely have problems, it's sometimes difficult to relate to you guys who constantly have issues. It's not luck, it's making good decisions and having the discipline to sometimes say NO, or in some cases HELL NO!!! to BSC, dishonest or just plain lazy hookers.

It's no accident that drama follows some people and not others, I guess some of you have a "kick me" sign tacked on your back and you need to learn how to get rid of that target on your back that attracts all the bad actors. The one thing I would suggest first is NEVER get emotional with a woman you are simply paying for sex. That is where so many of you guys get burned over and over, you can be kind, you can be generous, but do NOT get emotional with women that only see you as an ATM.  Tomorrow I will give you lesson number two. lol

you are doing it wrong.  Why do I say this?  Because from your reviews you are playing in one of the most fertile hobby environments in the world.  It is rich with hot locals and the top touring girls.  If you are consistently striking out you need to revisit how you pick your dates.  I won't go through it but there's lots to read on this board.  I suggest you start right away and hope your luck changes.

You are swimming in the shallower end of the pussy pool.

My recommendation is to take a step up in class and maybe cut back your hobbying a bit if money is tight.

There are several girls in the $400 range in NYC that would make a world of difference with your "luck." If you were to jump to $500, your choices would triple.

Do a search through the db and put $300 to $400 in the price boxes along with your other criteria, i.e. Menu options, age, etc.

There will be multiple providers that will pop up and make you wonder wtf you were doing before. Lol

Pm if you still need help as I play in Gotham as well

When George complained to Jerry that nothing was working for him, Jerry offered this:

If everything you are doing is wrong, then just do the opposite from now on.

George took heed and in one day had a great new girlfriend and job.

So, give it a shot

"Doing the opposite" isn't going to help this John.  

He needs to stop getting his burgers off the Mickey D's dollar menu and order from Red Robin.

...in keeping with the 'opposite' theme.  

And I didn't even stop for these before posting:

You might not believe this but I have never had a bad date with the Atlanta provider's.   They have all been special with their own beauty, personality, and style.

That was excellent,  and I think it can be extrapolated out to  
other areas of one's life.
