As long as you are asking, I prefer an independent.  It is not an absolute rule for me, but with my limited time, money, and libido (getting up there, you know?) there are enough very lovely women who operate on their own and I will nearly always choose them.  I like knowing she keeps 100%.  It is also somewhat more confidential.  Also, there are pimps and there are schedulers etc.  If the lady employs a scheduler that is not a problem.  If there is a guy in the background who is abusive as hell, I would feel very bad for the lady and not want anything to do with that situation.

I say don't use them.

A pimp is like a scheduler, which many gals use, maybe with more influence.

As long as she has made the choice willingly, I could care less.

Perhaps business manager would be a better term.

So long as said pimp is not in the picture or a go-between, I am okay with that. Some ladies use pimps for protection, others have no sense for things so they need a handler. Some have schedulers. It not a whole lot of difference unless he's kicking her ass and taking 90% of her money. If it is a negative situation or relationship, I can't see this lady being any fun. This job must be hard enough and to have someone on your back about his or her cut has to be annoying.

It would bother me that the money goes to the pimp, but I guess if she's ok with it, and she's supper hot with great reviews...

... and that he was paying you with the money that came from that cut; would you have a problem seeing him?

Every taxing authority is my Pimp. They take their money first and hand me what they think I deserve. I then use some of it to buy the time of some of the lovelies I have found here. We are all pimped at some level.
Just an Old ,ugly, fat fuck with an opinion.

Are we talking hover-on-the-corner pulling-hair slapping-out beating-and-abusing stuffing-coke-up-the nose taking-75% type, the take-a-call-politely and schedule ladies-to-gents type, or the single-girl answering service type? All are facilitating illegal liasons and all are making a profit on someone else's skin. Wouldn't associate with the first situation (assuming I knew), don't do agencies (TMP - TMI), and have no problem dealing with answering services (although I've only dealt with 2). Being a 1-person business myself, I favor independent ladies - this way, I'm supporting Small Business In America!

is that the lady is forced into the biz by the pimp who takes most if not all of her $$$.  Not a good idea--I probably wouldn't see her.

There is a big difference with a personal assistant who handles scheduling, and screening for a lady.  Not sure but I would think these assistants get paid a small fee rather than a significant portion of the $$$.  I have seen independent ladies who use an assistant as well as some agency providers who obviously have help with scheduling, screening, etc.

In my area there was a pimp who trafficed a lot of providers out in my area. The problem being that a lot of his proivders were "young & mislead" so it was easy for hobbists in the area to find out stories of what they went through.

After a while hobbists start talking, and knew who were all in this particular group, and the abuse they all had to go through. Pretty much word got out about this, a lot of people stop seeing many of the providers because they knew where the money was going.

Did it hurt their pockets? I guess for a certain amount of time, but they soon relocated all their talent to other cities.

stay as far away from her as I could!!!! Just a question I've been wondering for the women with pimps? What could another man ever do to persuade another man out of his money that one female can't do by herself?

I would only change to "a substantial cut".

i've had an incident with a popular provider who got a pimp and she completely changed and made threats with the pimp...it was a mess.  i outed her as to having a pimp only because of the fact that she said her pimp would beat my ass because she collected first for an hour and said i was done in 30minutes, i said fine,just return a portion of what i gave  back, then the threats started.  if i could avoid i would avoid all the time, but being a realist, i know i have seen girls with pimps who i just don't know about. its not always about protection or technical help, this girl just did not know how to function on her own and she would seek whoever would pretend to care, and well there are plenty of lowlifes who don't mind taking advantage of a situation.  this was a while ago fyi.
ladies, if you have a pimp, just make sure to keep a lid on it...ignorance is bliss after all, right?

Ive known of girls who have abusive 'boyfriends' who force the girls into it. So in that case if she wanted to get out and I knew her personally I would help her. But at the same time many women in abusive relationships stay despite what anyone says or thinks until something happens.

Back to the subject at hand. A pimp can be abusive, or he can be a great asset. Pimps nowadays are even trying to pass themselves off as high class agencies!

frankly if I'm in once and done mode I don't give a shit either way unless I get the feeling that there is potential for drama.  I don't care how she spends her money - on her SO, her kids, her habits or her pimp. Not my business. Not wifey's biz how I spend mine either

Most business managers don't whoop your a** I don't think.

If I knew it was a abusive relationship, or if she was anyway forced I would try to help if I was able and she was willing. But I would stay away if there was a pimp involved just in case. Nevada's legal brothels are as close to pimps as I go and they are too close for my comfort. I am thinking about adding them to my no go list but have not done so at this time. I have no problem with screeners they are fine. I tend to stay away agency as some act like pimps. Yes I have seen agency girls before but decided not to do so in the future as I have heard some rumors about some local ones that I will not repeat as I can't verify them.

Re context, my current bride was previously married to a Serbian scumbag with whom she lived in Paris.  When one of her friends' husband heard she was seeing him he said, in his French-accented English, "But, he ees a peeeemp."  He didn't mean it literally.  In his lingo he really meant "scumbag," which is exactly what the guy turned out to be.

P.I.M.P

P= Playa
I= Into
M= Makin'
P= Paper

Call me a pimp all day long!

That sounds very familiar.....  Is this who I think it is?

was exactly that (and a bit more).

If the definition of pimp is the classic derogatory (he beats your ass, takes your money and then fucks you for nothing) definition, I have no interest in any part of that.

If we're talking modern pimp (IRS, mortgage, etc) things could be different. I don't even go for the "if she's in it willingly" as it appears our friend "what's her name" was witting in a lot of it. If someone goes along willingly because they're stupid or have no other options, I don't see that as very different from beating her ass.

I mean really, who of you is gonna see a gal that's covered in bruises or track marks? Would you even know? I think most of us wouldn't, so don't delude yourselves.

nope lol

lol u made my day:}
