let me introduce him.....a mod from the Twin Cities, Ben has a unique view of the world but I find him spot on when looking at the big picture on this hobby.....with permission, I am posting his comments from the reviewers board....

Happy hobbying.

My advice...by Ben Dover.... Enjoy each girl for who and what she is....and only repeat with the ones that make you hard when you think about the time you had with them....

Girls aren't machines... they have emotions, feeling, esteem issues, hormones, hygene phobias and bills to pay, all for them to try and balance internally,,, all while attemting to grind an orgasm out of us for cash.... Many girls simply cannot handle all of these variables and "cut corners" in an effort to maintain "control"...
I can't really blame them... I put myself in their shoes, an imagine a line of BBWs with sweaty bodies and toiletpaper dingle Berries stuck in their pubes because they are so fat they cannot wipe properly... Then I imagine that it's my job to give all these women pap-smears.... I have to balance my Need to earn a living with all the little things about these women that bother me, with my responsibility to preform and complete the task I'm being paid to do... I would look for ways to "cut corners" yet still get results as well...
My advice is to not be so fiscally minded in your hobby... Never spend more with a  provider than you are willing to lose! Take your disapointments with ladies preformance in stride and use reviews and message board questions to improve your odds... If this isn't something you can do, then you're probably in a hobby that you can't afford! Think about Drag racing, or stockcars... Those men play their high-dollar sport year after year, with only the hope of a win, but no guarrentee! And some learn from their mistakes and constantly improve their game, while other bitch and whine  and throw wrenches, and blame everything but themselves for why it didn't happen for them after EVERY RACE! And what you usually find out about that type of guy is that they're always the ones trying to do the most with the least! And are probably underfunded for the level of the sport they're trying to play at....

Combine this with Roxanne's recent 'hygiene' post for some great perspective.

Interesting thoughts. Certainly the ladies here on TER represent the top in our town. They deserve to choose what they charge for their time. For you lurkers and newbies the price differential between the ladies here and less reputable sources is for a reason. You will be getting to spend some  safe amazing time with quality people. There is an extensive data base of reviews and information available really at  small cost. If your budget is not right today for the lady of your choice, be patient and save for future. Itis worth it. The idea of providers "cutting corners" is a disservice.   Those that do will not last long nor will they  be able to consistently earn high ratings.  The way they handle the risk, reward, good and bad  is why they are tops.
Ladies, the gents are not machines either....particularly not ATM machines. LOL    They choose to see you based on many factors including visual appeal, service,individual  intangibles and to some extent price. The gents do pay for your time with post tax dollars, so it is costing  them another 25-40% of their "work"   above what you see. Set the value of your time at what you feel is fair. You need to feel good about your  donation to give good service.   However it is still a part of the equation that determines how often the phone rings. I am really glad I don't have to make that decision.
