Sometimes money seems to flow, life is great, and nothing can go wrong. Other times money gets tight, kpho releases lists of names (mine isn't on there, thank god they don't get to ruin my life), and you have to step back.
My personal perspective is this: When you are young, the world is full of possibilities and you can accomplish anything, but when you get older you suddenly realize that you have to take the world as is, and you settle for what is good enough instead of striving for the best. As adults, we all settle for the good enough, but there are special times in our lives when we still want to reach for the best, and I think hobbying is a great outlet for that. Not everybody chooses hobbying for that outlet, some choose religion, some start families, and other do whatever they like to in order to resolve the disconnect between hope and reality, but either way, we all have to deal somehow.
I know, for myself, I have seen some ladies who I consider to be top notch, and am very happy to have made their acquaintance. It's not something I can do all the time, and of course it is something that I hope I can continue to do, but as time shifts, so do priorities, and perhaps someday I'll give up the hobby entirely! However, at this time, I am trying to take a step back for a little bit, to at least catch my breath, sort out my other priorities, and then perhaps look afresh at the hobby. I think my priorities have shifted to fewer meetings with ladies, but with ladies of higher quality. I'd much rather have the feeling of more money well spent on a great provider than of less money thrown away on a craigslist scam.
I've never had the pleasure of meeting Brook Banks, for instance, so perhaps I don't have quite as much room to speak, but, from my point of view, Black Angus is an excellent place to be!
TxToast,
You mentioned that the "hobby" is "out of touch"... Im wondering what it is your trying to say.
My Hubby Alex AND I have both decided to offer an experience that is truly special and unique by becoming providers. True, we are a little "green" - but having come from the swinger lifestyle - we are not "amateurs".
Further, we've been told our rates are "up there"... but then again, we have our reasons.
1) We have no desire to become high-volume "meat"
2) We only take 2 appointments a week, so our time is scarce.
3) Hobbyists enjoy the company of BOTH myself AND my husband.
4) Beyond your more typical "service calls" we offer an adventure.
Why do people go on vacation? We figure that much the same reason they vacation will be many of the same reasons they choose to hobby with us.
xxoo
Christine & Alex
