What is a ROB?

I've been using the acronym, ROB (Rip-Off Bitch) for some time now; though I never read a definition, or even what it stood for, anywhere. (I just guessed).

I've always defined a ROB as "any provider who used the escort business to rip you off in any way."

Recent discussions on the General Discussion Board has indicated that others seem to have a more narrow definition.

What is your definition of a ROB?

My definition of ROB is someone that advertised as an Escort, collected the fee and used the excuse of "We are not allow to perform something illegal" to refuse service or claimed that FS is not available.  This happened to me in Phoenix at '96 and Beverly Hills right after the Heidi Fleiss' arrest.  An escort in this business means FS in my dictionary.

Another type of ROB is to try to do an outcall at late night and show up late, upsell the service and not deliver.  For example, she will state that the initial donation is just an agency fee or a nude-dance fee (very common in Las Vegas), any thing else requires additional donation.  Since the hobbyist probably had waited 2+ hours and it was late at night, most likely he will just cough up the money.  After that, the ROB will just do things half-hearted, kept saying no to simple acts or touching, kissing or licking to frustrate the hobbyist so he will let her go early.  Someone in NJ just posted a tale about this in the general discussion board.

For me, a lousy and unenthusiastic performance by a provider is just that, not a rip-off service.  Refusal to provide basic FS is definitely a ROB.

One provider I saw - and wrote a review about - did provide full service, but with such disinterest as to make me uncomfortable and cause me to quit and leave early.

Other rip-off reviews (Austin) tell stories of providers actually robbing a guy. Now if a lady gave me full service and then stole money or property from me, I would still call her a ROB.

A disinterested provider is a WE provider (Wife Experience, to borrow other's metaphor) not a ROB, IMHO.

A ROB intends to rip-off her clients.  A bad service might be YMMV, having a bad day and any other things.  If this repeats constantly, that might qualify her as a ROB.

Stealing and robbery are extremes cases.  They are more than ROBs. they should be clearly indentified as thieves and robbers.

This is an interesting question. And I am sure different people will have different views on it.

As for me, I consider the following situations a ROB:

1/  False advertising - your typical bait & switch.  Adverstise with a beautiful model, and then deliver someone else.  In bait & switch there are instances when you simply can't walk away without losing the fee... Take for instance, the advertised model greets you at the door, convinces you to donate to her favorite charity, and seeing that you need some loving attention asks you to get comfortable.  She tells you she will be back in a minute.  Vision of pumpkin pie are floating in your head, and in comes someone like Rosane and she tries to convince you she is just as ... Now, you can end the session right there and then.  But, it would impossible for your to get your charitable contribution back.

2/  Disinterest or someone with a poor attitude

3/  Not delivering on agreed upon goods/services

4/  Getting a run around (have you drive 50 plus miles each way, and then provide you with excuses for the delay, and eventually cancel the appointment)

5/  Stealing property or something valuable from you

Why you may ask I classify the aforementioned in the ROB category?  

The answer is quite simple.  There is a common denominator in all of these scenarios -- that is, the provider was intentionally deceitful.

In scenarios 1, 2, and 3 the provider and the hobbyist have an agreement.  The hobbyist has lived up to his end of the bargain.  UNFORTUNATELY, the provider has NOT. Hence,there is a breach of contract. When you take a fee and not deliver (for example -- disinterest, aggressive upselling, clock-watching, constant interruptions, etc.), the provider can offer restitution - return the fee, or work our some other form of compensation.    

In scenario 4, the provider maynot have taken the fee directly, but indirectly.  In the sense, she wasted someone time, and energy.   She deliberately mislead the hobbyist with false expectations, and sent him on a wild goose chase.   There is something to be said for personal ethics, and integrity.  

In scenario 5, stealing is stealing!  What else can I say ;-).

Cheers!
