I have a question that's been bugging me lately.  When a provider posts her weekly ad on a regional board, there are posts by guys drooling over them.  I realize that looks are very personal, but sometimes you see a picture that just screams "blah" and guys will fall all over themselves to tell her how great she looks.  I've had providers say that these guys are typically all talk and no appointment.  Other providers have asked me to please pull the replies.  On occasion, the ladies banter with the guys but I have to wonder if it's for any more than continued attention.  (It is an ad after all.)  So, what are these guys hoping to accomplish?

Its not always about the picture as a whole.  It might be the way her hair is caressing her cheek or the curve of her neck as it flows into her shoulder.  I've seen some very eye catching things in most of the pictures the ladies share with us.  Look at the details.  They must have seen something in them that even they find appealing or they wouldn't post them.

I frequently have ladies ask me if I have seen their web site pics and which ones I like.  I sometimes respond to the ad postings with a compliment just to offer a little positive feedback.    If i were running and add (making a post), I would welcome a little feedback.  It keeps the board active too.

LOL at: "Other providers have asked me to please pull the replies."

It bugs me, too. If I like what I see, I'll tell her in email along with an appointment request. I think these guys are getting off (not literally, I hope) on virtually flirting before an audience. Perhaps they think they're helping the provider appear to be highly coveted. If anything, I think it undermines any personal appeal her ad would have.

or are one of her regulars and are just trying to support the lady's ad.  Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or sometimes beerholder).  One man's aphrodite is another man's "blah."

Its much better than someone trying to post something negative or rude.

Pull all such comments, including comments by other ladies.
Leave the comments/questions pertinent to an appointment, eg., "what part of town will you be visiting"?

Personally, its a huge turnoff when a regular posts something like, "Believe me, guys, she is one special lady. Hope we can do it again soon, darlin'." Put in in a review, sport. I can do without a winking intermediary, thank you.

I suppose I can agree it's better than a negative remark. Barely.

Negative is just as valid as positive.  While negative comments aren't allowed on ad postings, repeated puppy love posts just make me want to vomit.  They don't make me want to see her.  Rather, they just make me discount anything positive the guy says about her or anyone else.

There are several provider ads that get the same reply from the same dude every friggin' time.  And this guy is generally the ONLY one to post a reply.  He's like a little shill puppy...or puppet!  LOL

When I first started posting that is how I became active.  Looking back on some of my early posts (similar to LP's discussion on why post to an ad) and realized that they were nothing more than a way to banter with a lady (some I had seen and others I never did see to this day).  Now if I see an ad by a gal I have an interest in (and hadn't previously seen) I will send a PM or email (but generally only if I have an interest in setting up that appointment).

I definitely agree that it is redundant to see the same guys posting week after week to an ad of a lady (effictively shilling for her).  You would need to ask a lady if she appreciates this (and I suspect some like it as it does keep the thread alive and draws some attention).  But like anything else, if it bothers you, simply move on to the next thread, as you don't have to read the responses.

I guess that's why it bugs me.

If you pull the replies of the guys drooling over a lady's post, you'll need to pull the replies from the other ladies.  You know the ones, "oh girl, you're looking so hot, we need to get together soon."

But then the regional boards would be a ghost town.

A couple of times, I've posted a short reply to prove my TER handle to someone I had been in contact with via regular email: "I'll reply to your TER post with 'Great picture. I like the hat.'" or some other 'coded' message.

A couple of times, I've posted short questions. "Any reviews?" Recently, I asked Adrianna_Star about the other girl in a picture on her website. No reply. (And that "blue" pic IS great!)

Usually if it is a out of town lady I know, who will be visiting our area, but I doubt that's what you're talking about. I believe you're talking about the same guys replying to every ad.

My guess is it is the same reason they suck up in their reviews. Hoping to curry favor for whatever reason. Just as some guys give a "slightly skewed" review to get a referral or whitelist...

For the habitual cases, your guess is as good as any.
