This should not be considered an attempt to stir up a slew of hostile responses. I truly would like a sincere answer. I am, and have been, wondering how it is that so many of you are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to spend time with a provider.  For example, I have noticed that Anna - an average-looking woman/provider with high marks on her "reviews" - commands a $550.00 minimum for an engagement. She's able to do this only becuse there are many of you who are willing to pay it, which leads me to believe that those of you who see her value her services that much. I find this extreamly difficult to comprehend since the only thing she offers is intimate female companionship. Are you people that lonely? Are you not getting what you need from your significant others, or from anyone else for that matter? Do you have better luck at making money than at developing lustful relationships? Are her actions that much more superior that the actions you would recieve from someone else? What is it? And please, hold the donut jokes. I'm not LE trying to gather information to psychoanalize hobbiests!

how else can i achieve the impossibility of a "new" fresh woman grace my bedroom. even if i had a significant other, the shock of the new touch, the uncertainty of the encounter and the unpridictability of the meeting, cannot be attained unless i parted with few franklins. call it hobby, addiction or a sickness. it is the most satisfying value money can rent.
the only way a beautiful young woman would want to screw me would be if i either dated/married her or got lucky. and i ain't waitin around for either.
granted paying $550 for anna or the likes mayb an abberation, but hey its only money and only the bearer of the green knows best how much to spread and to who.
only caveat: stay out of the game if you don't have a lot of greenbacks! cause it will eat your lunch.

When you don't get it at home, you gotta get it somewhere.

When I first saw Anna, she had just started in the business. Her fee was $.5 for an hour and did not have a multiple hour rate. I suppose she felt that one hour was enough. Her rates now are beyond my means as far as talent vs. cost (I had to go back one last time to see). However, I do consider Anna to be one of the most beautiful providers in this fair city. I now have a friend who gives an equal amount of pleasure and is more beautiful. Do not ask who she is because she is not a provider.

Because, I've tried to voice my opinion regarding a few of your opinions and they did not get posted. So in the spirit of proper decorum and really trying to be a gentleman, I will attempt to respond to your questions in a different fashion.

First thing is a $ figure you put forth in you question. That is not a good thing to do and you know why. The more important thrust of your question (I think, as you have referred to it before)loneliness and companionship have nothing to do with anything as far as many of us are concerned. Many of us also enjoy both sides of equation you present. Because we have one, does not mean we can't or don't have the other. I would presume that most of us can still get some trim any way we like. I don't think, However, that many of us would want to have a Significant Other for only the reasons, that you Rationalize, as a means of satisfying our sense of having some fun. Or, interupting our indepedence.

You have also made some references to health issues in other posts and gone as far as to blatantly incinuate that AIDS (removed due to the mean spirited attack and a fabrication)is an issue with the provider you seem compelled to center your attentions too on this board. There is much more to your stated concerns and questions than you are really letting on.

The reasons vary...from time to time and person to person. You've expressed a view and have an opinion. Are you saying that you are contemplating changing your view? If so the nature of the question is understood.

A quick, easy and snappy answer: It a sport!! Some guys like to have the finest (and generally, the mose expensive) wines, cars, horses, homes, toys, etc... We love women and our experiences with them. I trust you understand that the specific answer is far more complicated and is best answered by each person as we all have our own particular reasons.

It sounds as if you are doing some soul searching. If so, then I wish you the best regardless of your decision. Good luck hunting and be careful out there.

Cleavor play on words in your closing sentence. Maybe your not, as you say. If you were, you certainly would not be trying to gather information to psych-profile hobbyists would you? You would be trying to gather information for something else.

I couldn't agree more with your observations, 'onemorepecker'!!

I also posted similar thoughts in previous threads and got attacked by providers and hobbyists alike, although I was NOT making any personal attacked other than making a simple observations like you.

I am completed confounded as to why anyone would pay for what amounts to a girl that is no different than those just a few miles south of the border.... a girl like Anna, perhaps more attractive and without the mileage, would cost less than a third to us dumb but 'wiling to pay' gringos!

However, I DO understnad a man wanting to see her, but NOT at those rates. I have seen FAR better looking (comparable service level) here in SD (a few visiting providers), as well as some in LA.
!!!!!!POST THIS MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!

a troll looking to stir up trouble and cause problems or another provider who's trying to stir up trouble and cause problems through an alias.

Best thing to do is just move on.

Why is this poster a troll?

If this person went out of their way to be polite, yet state an opinion, what is the problem with that? There were no personal insults; and frankly, I have been extremely confounded with this lady's rates myself, given her 'average at best' looks.  She is no where even close to the Platinum Connections ladies in LA, yet the price is comparable? Come on!

Would you pay a new Ferrari price for a used Buick?

I do appologize for the AIDS comment and am glad it was deleted; however, I do still think that it was a valid concern that was worthy of recognition given what was propounded in the orginal post - the declaration of unprotected activity. I have no latent purpose here, nor do I have any concerns in or with Anna as you have implicitly suggested; I referenced her instead of another simply because she's popular and discussed often.

You're way too paranoid; lighten up.

I HAD THE BEST LOOKING MOST GFE EXPERENCE IN TJ LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
FOR 60.00. I GAVE HER A 10.00 TIP. VERY SWEET,VERY GRATEFUL.

Has anyone noticed how well Ness and onemorepecker share the same thoughts and glad hand each other. They must both be on the same frequency because they both made their posts on the subject within the same time period. Just like to peas in a pod. Wow! that's really something, huh! What a coincidence! probably nothing to it.

Why did you choose "The Troll" and not "the provider" also mentioned?

So what ever happened to your review on Ms. V. Vonhelkin? You remember the visitor that you just happened to bump into in the hotel and proceeded with the quicky.

First off, while not on purpose, you may stir up a few hostile responses. Are you a hobbyists? Do you see providers as the rest of us do? Instead of saying"do you...", it would have heled to say"do we...". You wording is a little accusatory(sorry if that is not a real word).
   Some, if not all of this falls into the area of"To each his own". While you and many others consider Anna to be average looking, many of us consider her to be spectacular in looks and performance. Her pictures really don't do her justice.
    That said, I personally am looking for variety. I have pleanty of other places for love,affection,etc. All I can say, is that Anna is one of the best at what she does. I think that you will find very few who have seen her will disagree with that statement. Her attitude is great. For those of us who like the Latina flavor, she fits the bill perfectly.

Someone who is sleeping at 3 in the morning. Does the term tired sound familiar to you? You've heard that before. You were tired and lonely when you posted this morning were'nt you?

All of the points you folks have presented are well taken. I just have a hard time with the donations some of these providers have come to expect - and I just ask, is it really worth it? Although I haven't participated in the hobby recently (well, with the exception of some street action and the occasional massage parlor), I am no stranger to it. In the past, I used to hobby often. I hope this clears up any preconcieved notions some may have formed about me, and I do sincerely appreciate all of your feedback.
