So what else did I miss since 2014?? Besides

...Fosta/ Sesta, Coronavirus, and bitcoin payments.

I feel like how Crocodile Dundee must have felt (to date myself):

1. For example, this week I saw the term surfboard and took me awhile to realize what it meant...

2. Wtf is GSH (giving) as a menu item... Good Sense of Humor lol?

3. If TER seems back for US hobbyists why do the boards feel so tame? Also feels like some other boards have risen while TER was away.

Some veterans, I beg you pls catch me up on their top three observations (or at least one ).

**At least some things are the same, like the lifetime P411 and recurring TER posts (dick size, AA, “relationship”, stalking, scams, fake reviews, bad review threats, I’m sure I’ve forgotten some)

I checked the UD on GSH, and they weren't much help....

So, this one's a mystery, though good sense of humor could be what it means.

“GSH (giving)” was the exact menu item

I would copy the entire ad for context except I was told I would be banned for life, which would make me lose access to 10-20 providers... which I’m not prepared to do in my fragile state

But everything before and after that phrase was a standard menu item: BBBJ, CIM, GFE, DFK, DATY, role playing, COF, etc.

The giving qualification makes the sense of humor thing weird... like she’s a standup comedienne or what?

It’s driving me crazy so I will gladly PayPal someone a cup of coffee who comes up with the best answer

I really can't answer your question.

I've been here pretty much the whole time, so I'm probably too close to it for meaningful observation beyond that it ain't what it used to be. I keep hoping for a return to those halcyon days but I see no evidence of that happening.

Nicky good to hear from u bro

Was PMing with someone else and your name came up.

Glad to see you’re still kickin’. Hear ya on the being too close thing. If any insights do pop up suddenly, pls do let me know.

Not to invite ANY politics, but it’s amazing to me to have had a pro-prostitution President in office (I mean who owns a money-losing pageant and uses their own lawyer to make payments?!) and yet have a crackdown of sorts on the industry even before the pandemic!! End of rant.

I’ll tell you what I remember about the halcyon/heyday days as I recall them. People always did their thing but some real relationships were formed. I had several people from here take deep convos offline into PM here and then into my personal “Johns” email. I had a few regular acquaintances, guys and gals, some of whom I met IRL at mixers. (Not least among all this I met my wife, a former well known PS, during this heyday and we’ve lasted

) It’s gone the way of the heyday of Wall Street. Sigh.

Re: Welcome back!

Thanks, more power to you sincerely for getting on here and adding your input! You remind me of my old acquaintance and frequent poster MatureGFE (who’s hopefully enjoying life somewhere ).

It’s a shame that the female posters have been driven off by such stupidity. I recall some of the best convos on here were with five or so extremely active and activist provider posters when I left, many of which we took offline to PM and then email and in one special case OTC phone calls. This goes to Nicky’s comment about the heyday and what we’ve lost here.

I suppose the Internet makes it easier to name call people and be less polite, plus pent-up misogyny, fetishes, and such. There’s no reason to rub your noses in what you choose to do to make ends meet. And anyone who thinks I’m WKing can click “see my posts” going back to 2012. I generally only call out the “work” when a lady is being uppity about the service she was providing, which happened in the heyday too.

That said, the “work” is what it is and so we have to call it something. “Provide” is a good euphemism which gives a small degree of legal cover. Btw, I have no problem saying that I’m a horny John (see my handle, my P411 handle, etc.) who thinks I’m better than most lol (a Don Juan of John’s

). Plus I’m fairly well trained (my wife is a former PS).

Re: Welcome back!

One other thing i forgot since you’ve brought it up is deposits. I don’t think I’ve “complained” abt deposits.
For the record for anyone who wants to connect with me, I just don’t do them and people I see know that. My history with TER etc and a provider including the service tips should ensure that I treat the next visit accordingly. Having been in finance, it puts unnecessary risk and hassle on the table. We just both show up or know we’re allowed one real emergency cancellation to be made up somehow in the future.... this is what business people do to keep a relationship.

Only time I pay a deposit in life is when significant cost of materials goes into a product/service... That doesn’t include makeup/ grooming because you girls love that and it’s an indirect cost (like wifi). Another exception is a celebrity PS on a limited tour. Not just a starlet but someone on the bucket list.

I will treat you all professionally. I may pick you guys up in mY sportscar if you’re having car problems getting to my place (last month). I will not pay a deposit (except PSs above). If this means it excludes me from some stellar visits, so be it. My Bucket list (and I’m 40) is too big anyway. End soapbox.

Agreed. I'd only correct one thing.

Re the politics of prostitution, both parties are equally guilty of foisting SESTA/FOSTA on us.

I don't "complain" about rates or deposits either

Except for agreeing occasionally with the guys who do make OP's whining about them, but like you I don't pay them, I don't even "consider" paying them, not even once. lol

I guess if I did have a "bucket list" provider I might be tempted, but after all the thousands of hookers I have fucked over six different decades I don't have a bucket list. I just have a long list of hotties I want to fuck in no particular order with more and more young women entering the business every day, way more women than I could fuck in a dozen lifetimes.

Nice to see you back here, please stay. Boy there was fun to be had back then, wasn't it?

When I'm travelling out of state...

or doing an extended date, yep there will be and small(ish) deposit.. And I'm sure you know that most ladies don't sit around in their makeup and getting their hair professionally done all the time if their not working.

I was bugging out at the beginning of the Covid lockdown...I couldn't get my nails, hair and other of my beauty routines! Whoa was me.

Thank you for your kinds words beautiful lady!

I'm now mostly in the Greensboro area but still go to Raleigh/Durham since it's just a little over an hour away. I'd say it's a 60/40 split favoring Greensboro. I want to head to Florida before the snow birds leave. See you there?
