My year has been crazy, for a variety of reasons. Of course, black Wednesday had a lot to do with it. But also, two of my atfs made lifestyle changes, thus altering the hobby for me. What I've found with all the newness is a lack of professionalism, and dependability in the new ladies I've tried to meet. I haven't had a flake in years, yet in the last six months I've had two with new ladies. Many of the new ladies I make contact with start off promising, then completely drop the ball even before we set up a session. One recently wrote me, apologizing profusely about dropping the ball back in November. I got my hopes up until she dropped the ball again. We're talking highly rated ladies now. In the old days the rating system was more dependable. Not perfect by any means, but one could decipher the hidden meanings of a highly rated lady.
Let's also mention that rates have skyrocketed. That's cool. I don't have an issue if a lady has the looks, body, and professionalism to demand such numbers. More power to her. But when I see an ad of a lady who used to charge 2 bills with mediocre reviews in the old days, and is now charging 5 bills, that's a joke. What, she got 2 1/2 times better looking over the years, and lost weight?
I'll keep trying to figure things out. This one has a steep steep learning curve though. Maybe there's a gem out there. I've still got my hopes up for one new lady. Maybe she's the gem who will replace my two atfs. We'll see how that plays out. All I can say is thank the TER Gods for my old friends. They're the only reason this last year has been worthwhile. And hey, if I never meet another new lady, my old friends will be ecstatic.
