Someone recently asked me " Are you a hobbyist?"  I answered instinctively "No" because I've though of myself as one. Then I got to thinking...

How does one define a "Hobbyist"?
Is any man who uses the services of a Provider a Hobbyist?
Even If it was just once? (Surely not!)
If not, when does the moniker apply?
Is it related to frequency?
Quantity?
Perhaps, the REASON he uses such services?
Is there a benchmark somewhere that determines what makes a hobbyist?

Then I realized, I'd had waaaaaaay to much to think!  

Can anyone shed some light on this?

However, if I had to say....  I would believe a hobbyist to be someone who utilizes the services of a provider, whether it be once or many times.

If you have not utilized a ladies services, then I would call you a newbie.

Have a fabulous day luv and think about more pleasant things, like how the word doughnut came into play!

From _I Hear America Talking_ by Stuart Berg Flexner:

Doughnuts are so called because they were originally small, solid balls or "nuts" of fried sweetened dough. The Pilgrims learned to make these solid doughnuts during their stay in Holland, 1607-20, and brought them to New England; the Dutch, who called them oylkoek (oily cake) also soon brought them directly to New Amsterdam. ... The Pensylvania Dutch (Germans) also had doughnuts, called fastnachts, because they were served on Fastnacht Day (Shrove Tuesday) as the last sweet treat before Lent. To these Pennsylvania Dutch fastnachts we owe our round, hole-in-the-middle doughnuts: the Pensylvania Dutch preferred the hole to a soft and soggy center.

dingus i dont what this persons issue is but i would love to know who this person is.

Although I don't necessarily agree with the angry tones of the general argument, I do appreciate the well thought out and well written satirical logic. I am guessing that the poster here is simply answering the question in general and not actually directing this to the original poster. He or she basically makes the arguement and concludes it with his or her rhetorical premise ending with the last two sentences as really the thesis.  My guess is that this post was made by either a provider, or a male who perhaps is involved with a provider on a more frequent intimate level than just friendship.
Nice peice of creative writing anyways. Brilliantly structured and to bad its a shame that it was stated under an alias.

P.S. I read this post several times to really understand what this person is saying. I believe this is a statement supporting providers as real people rather than inanimate objects of gratification for the purposes of self amusement. Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't think so.
