1. Stop treating your sessions as dates. If you want a date, go to Date.com and sign up and pray.

2. Pay in cash. Your VISA may be convenient, but the paper trail back to all of the pussy you've bought will be your ruin.

3. See a variety of women. Familiarity breeds contempt and it's not strange anymore if you provider refers to you as a client or worse a friend.

4. Don't overpay for foolish whims such as Pornstars, PSE, GFE and other alphabet BS. Find a provider who has the personality, temperament, and likes what she does.

5. Remember rule #4.

on sport-fucking level I follow your construct exactly. This is the *great* majority of my "hobbying".

But I do occasionally discover someone who has "personality and temperament", (not to mention, who really lights me up lol) with whom I wish to repeat, perchance even to enjoy as an "ATF"

I do not mind being a "client" or a "friend" of an ATF at all

However

If I were to become taken for granted, I would move on.

Do whatever works for you.  It's your money.

I don't see whores, maybe you do.

To each their own.

Who made you the rulemaker anyway?

Sure, you see girl next door types and church goers. Stop hating and get your own shtick Beano. You're boring. You are right about one thing, there are no rules, but stupid people need them and being Friday, I had nothing else to do. BTW, your ATF sucks cock and she gets paid for it.

"to each his own" is the phrase you are looking for.

Always treat the lady with respect. Weather it is the first visit or the 20th. There are many "enhancements" that can be realized by giving respect. Many money can't buy but will take you to levels of bliss you did not know were possible.

bean099 said "I don't see whores, maybe you do."

Huh? You don't see whores? Then why are you on this board?

Oh, I get it! You think the prostitutes YOU see are somehow "above" being labeled a whore, even though they do the same thing as every other working girl - they trade sex for money.

Don't get into a semantics game with me on TER. I don't care if you pay $5 or $5,000, if she's having sex with you because you paid her, then she's a whore. If you think calling her a "provider" changes anything, you are incorrect.

I'll leave it up to you to define what YOU are...

these are words of wisdom coming from someone with no reviews

Rule#6: See only streetwalkers from now on.

Give respect, get seen again.

Dont even bother. This board is overrun by men who have zero respect for the ladies they see.  Why some women are comfortable seeing men like this baffles me but hey, every one has their own standards. I suppose these guys dont mind being called "johns" or "tricks"  While they do fit the definition, it shouldnt define who they are. Unfortunatly they do in fact act like tricks and johns. Im perfectly aware of what I do but again it dosent define who I am. A whore offers sex for money with a business transaction attitude and if thats all they are getting out of a session then Im sorry for them. Most GFE providers offer a lot more than that making them a lot more than a "whore".
Whore, trick, john...Terms I find tacky but again Im judging by my standards.
Luckily Im so vanilla that I dont run into guys like this. Reviews are very beneficial in that way.
You sound like a nice man, too bad you're just going to get attacked for that here.
While I dont agree with most of GTM post I have to respect and appreciate that you see there are 2 sides of this hobby and they are very different. Not all of us want/deserve to be labeled with derogatory terms.

PittPanther, this provider=whore argument is entirely retarded. You're playing as much as semantics game as Bean. The standard definition of whore: someone who trades sex for something else puts everyone in the "whore" category. Even if you want to restrict it to simply a monetary exchange...you think your mother, your sister, your SO, any woman with half a brain doesn't take a serious look at her potential mate's ability to pay the bills on time, continue moving in an upward mobility fashion, and in general do her due diligence to ensure she isn't signing on to a sinking ship? Personally, I'd argue that the only people who aren't whores are fools. To trade oneself away without any consideration of a return value is a supreme sign of a lack of self respect.

In that way, we are all whores, at which point renders the entire label moot. What many have done is redefined the label, so that is can effectively apply to a distinct category of individuals as opposed to an entire gender or entire population. The problem with this semantic shift is that people (such as Bean) throw it out there in arguments with the misguided expectation that everyone knows what the hell they are talking about. I don't mind a little semantic play; meanings shift as cultural expectations and values shift. But seriously Bean, take a moment to define and defend yourself before attacking others.

Respect is earned and his 5 tips read like he really doesn't like women too much.

Many men LIKE treating us like dates that they get guaranteed play from.

Many men LIKE seeing the same provider who gives amazing service everytime. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being referred to as a friend.

Who is Radcow to tell another man what is FOOLISH to pay for. If he wants to bang a Sasha Grey wannabe, let him. If he likes PSE to slow and sensual, rock on. If he likes to cuddle and kiss, let him.

keep starting threads on how to pay your money to please the lady!!!  Although a mutual satisfaction session is the ultimate in fun.....it's YOUR dime....don't be an impulse shopper...make sure you leave with what you "came" for!  

As it is often said, to each his own. If you choose to follow your rules, I hope that works for you.
I choose to look at things a bit differently, and I get what I want and more out of every appointment with the ladies, and I believe they do also, by NOT following these so called “rules” of yours.
But please feel free to spew your vitriolic pontifications here anytime you wish, so that many of us can shake our heads in wonder over your electronic rants.

It sure is funny that when you use the word whore, all of the whores come of the woodworks to denounce the word. It's how you are thought of and described even by your nicest caller. The word is older and wiser than you AmandaLisle. Since when does a term tell you anything about who a person sees and how they treat them? You are hypocrite madam. You don't have the skills to do much else but you try to act as if these guys want you for anything more than to blow a load. You're a wannabe and you'll have to live with your sad existence. Women that have a great temperament and personality make money even when the economy sucks. A woman that truly gets into what she does doesn't have to act as if she's not. She accepts it for as long as she does it and moves on. You are no different from the SW, other than your address or your hotel room. The reason you hate the 5 tips is because it blows you off the map and when that guy reads this and cancels on you, you'll find that you too are not really all that special.

just make it so much easier for ME to get laid. I guess I owe you a debt of gratitude.

It's MY fantasy, and I'll run it MY way...no complaints so far.

Glad that you don't get taken away with mere words and your explanation of what a whore is truly spot on. I think you are the type of woman that I described in rule#4 and therefore a credit to the women that know themselves and are quite discerning. As I read your site and your words, I know that you are not someone out there that treats what you do as a sideshow, nor does it define your spirit. As for Bean, he's really a mild mannered mental midget who really can't post his own thoughts or musing, so he takes his stab at 15 minutes of fame on TER, mind you. He can't define, he can only mimic,bandwagon, and be the follower that he is.  You have only to read his prior posts to know that is his MO.

You live and breathe for someone to wake you out of your drunken stupor long enough to get your brain going. That I pissed you off enough for your silly retort is fine and deep journalism on your part. If you shake your head at all or get moved to leave your silly rant, it means I got you.

Who shall wake me from my drunken stupor?
Will it be the ravings of one who is intent on stirring up emotional responses by using words that carry with them connotations that are taken by some as inflammatory and defaming?
A word is a word is a word is a word.
It is not the word but the emotions it evokes that cause the response.
In much the same way a bit of color added to an electronic message for attention can change the interpretation of the emotion of the message.
But fool that I am, I have played into the hands of the poser by feeding his trollish ire with sustenance so that he might live to occupy his time (and ours) to no useful purpose later.
For he is looking for neither agreement nor acceptance but merely wishes to receive the response...


C_K

YOU sir are a piece of work. Talk about narcissism. Your sustenance is hearing yourself think. God, that must be awful?

As I unfurl and twist my mustache and loosen my hair from its ponytail. On guard, you pestilence. A fight to the death or the first one to get laid.

and have at thee you scurrilous dog, for yours is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

C_K

Just to jump in as a relatively new hobbyist - there IS a difference between women who trade sex for money directly and those who trade on a long term basis (wives, SO etc) And that difference (time committed) is the basis for all sorts of hostility by men and women towards each other - just how long do you have to stay together? Whore does imply a lack of self-respect and callousness towards others which I personally have not found among the providers I have seen - although some have been really lovely and others not so much. So calling any women whores does show a lack of class and bad attitude (except when it is truly justified by the overt actions of the girl in question - like she rolled you). Anyway, the rules guy seems kind of lame...it is your dime and you should get what you want and I don't see anything wrong with seeing the same provider more than once or twice - if you liked her once and she seemed into it its only going to be better the next few times. If she becomes a fuck-buddy....excellent.
I've tried dating and dating strippers and its become clear that the easiest and best way to get laid in through TER and a careful reading of reviews. Now if i can just stay married, out of LE trouble and healthy this will be a truly great hobby (LOL).

Now that was funny!

You two sure are silly!  Why don't you just get together for dinner and a drink already!?  LOL  Either that, or a good sword fight!  

Keep things light and keep them fun!  
Peace! Betty xoxoxo

Doesn't like women??? This guy doesn't like anybody!!!!
TER sure had a better atmosphere before MADCOW showed up!

Stamp out RADCOW disease!!!!!

some dudes need this rule too.....   probably not a bad idea to tell guys that if they see an escort, they are gonna need $$??? Right?  and if the see a civie.... they are gonna need $$??? right!?  So whats the diff... in one, there is a such thing as a sure thing... in the other, not so  much.

Amen to that,,,CK.

Lungman, the board knows you to be a fool. They read your posts. If you followed my rules, you'd be less of a used condom and start to act like someone who can make a decision. Sure, I know you have a great need to fall in love and be treated like an ATM, but most people pay for play and go home. You think I want to share your fantasies about seeing providers? I do not. Unlike you, I pay, play, then go home. You fantasize over a cup of coffee, write poetry, and beat off with your dollar bills. Head to the strip club because that's where you can fall in love, one dollar at a time.

Radcow,

When time came in the 70's and I had reached the age of legal to go to bars men were all around on ladies night ready to buy a drink hang out dance some dine a lady to breakfast after closing. If a lady yes LADY felt some sort of attraction and let her gate down or enough DFK and pawing of her happened to give him some idea where this was all going to go be it going back to his place, her place or making a date for a future night,no matter how the cards may fall after man got his sex with her he may have come back until the next chick at his bar or party or wherever he took his horny pants on Friday or Saturday was found.Yes you can find a whore most anywhere if they are looking for you they will find you.That's what whores do.And if you are classless you will fall into whore haven. Not the case on here. Does this describe you?

I mean the bar scene, picking someone up wanting
her all for yourself and when that did not happen
if by chance she was attracted to another man
or oh my gosh ( GASP) another woman do you have
a name or title for her??  Would that be whore?
 
 
Did you ever think, that for as long as men have called women whores, tramps, sluts and all those BS words that woman would never wisen up and charge them to spend time with ? Maybe we know
where the cards may fall ahead of time and on your dime? No matter how or where he met her  man already knew he was going to try her on for size no strings just casual sex.No matter how you view the entire situation men created the words.Men who are not seeking relationship weather on this board or elsewhere who want to play should pay. You aren't paying for sex I can show you how that works dear.

Tell me something. What do you define a woman as, who marries man who has sex with him for a house, car, vacations, jewelry , all her bills paid etc etc while man continues to have a wandering eye? Who's calling the kettle black?

I have no idea who you are, but I'd bet that you
aren't this type of crass individual in person .

some or any providers based on their business model or approach to the biz

Many of the ladies I see are agency girls. In this environment I am not looking for a lengthy GFE date. Just a bit of sport. I appreciate good service regardless of the modality.

I do like to see the occasional independent GFE provider. I like an unrushed, romantic interlude with a lady who conducts herself as a courtesan and shows a legitimate interest in a gentleman.
If a relationship (of a sort) develops, I am happy for it. And if not, a quality time with a lovely courtesan is a great pleasure.

Just as providers model their approach to the biz differently based on their circumstances, interest, or temperament, and just as I higly respect providers regardless of these choices, I *ask* for respect for my choices in turn.

Sometimes however, independent GFE providers seem to look down on gentlemen who like variety and a bit of sport, and who frequent agencies....

Thankfully, I have met a few true Courtesans who appreciate me '

Cheers

GTM

It's not just the facts of that story but the booking photo!!

That poor lost soul look on his face.

I rather like Eve's explanation, we are all whores to something. Was I to call it provider-mongering? How you define yourself and who you are should not be defined by what you see on a public opinion board. Notice, none of the rules referred to anyone by name so why the outrage? Is prostitute a better term? And yes, women that use men (or men who use women) for money, gifts, etc are whores too.  It's mildly funny how people who know what this is all about get so twisted with mere words. No one is pointing fingers or naming names in the post. It shows me that there are quite the number of thin-skinned people on TER. Whatever you choose to call yourself I will respect that. This was not about any particular person, persona, image, or agency. It was five simple rules. Finally, Angela, it is very clear to me that I am buying sex. Sorry, I don't come to admire your drapes.

A whore is defined by what they do.

A woman is defined by who she is.

I get out of bed every morning looking forward to going to work. If you are like 99% of workers, you roll out of bed groaning that its Monday and the weekend is a long ways off, and the only reason you show up at all is because they give you a paycheck.

So who is really the whore?

I find it completely funny...no just odd really the way so many feel the NEED to try and use words They feel are degrading. I also think it's out of their own anger that they have this need.

I don't care if you call me a prostitute, whore escort companion slut what ever works for you. It's only words. I know who I am and what I am doing with my life and Only I know so what you or anyone else thinks...well, it's just not important.

I have an ex who just feels the need to  call me a whore and I'll tell you the same thing I told him. Being a whore is an occupation. Switch jobs and I no longer hold that title. Yet being an asshole who feels the need to label women poorly is a character flaw, and that's never going to change for you.

I often wonder if men who speak this way do so because they are jealous of women and the Power we possess. I've always said Pussy has the power and I still believe it, yet since entering this business i have really learned how much power we have.
A successful woman in this business is usually a very bright women, accomplished in many ways. Kind interesting and able to entertain a man in many ways aside from sexually. They have great personalities and are people oriented. That takes real skill.
Any man can fork over over the cash, that only takes money, personality not required.
Not to say many Gentlemen we see aren't very interesting but not all of them are.

If you truly need to call the gals you see whores...go right ahead I am laughing all the way to the bank with your $$$$...and going to get a manicure. That's it for my work day and I think I'll take the rest of the week off.

Men who insist on attempting to degrade women here with words most likely have an issue with women in general. It's an over all additude. Many are jealous of women and the obvious power just being a woman comes with.

No i don't call myself a whore too often, I consider myself a private companion, a sensual muse if you will...yet in the end if I were arrested it would be for prostitution. I have not yet seen anyone arrested on Passionate Companion charges. So its 6 of one half dozen of another.
Tolerance is needed here and respect for other  ppl.

I am off to Myrtle Beach on vacation... all have a great week!!!!

Nicole

Not sure of whether you read the entire thread, but you've made my case. Despite such vehement opposition to the thread, the word WHORE was not used in any of the rules. Like you, I believe a whore is not who your are, but what you do. I am certain if I walked in to your boudoir and I disrespected you verbally or in any other matter, I would be out the door. So, let's not play with words.

I bet if we took a vote on who's a fool,my name wouldn't be at the top of the list.I think you need to re-read some of the responses to your mean posts.I get the drift, that i'm not the only one that thinks your attitude stinks.What gives,why all the bashing and negative attitude all the time? It's fine to have your own opinion on a certain subject(post),but why the need to attack someone's character.I normally just ignore the ridicule,but you just don't know when to stop.Do you really treat people this way in the real world or just here in cyberspace! Geez man,,,,"Give Peace A Chance"

But I wasn't following you as a whore would.
You should watch what you say so public as
pandering is a serious crime.

Have fun on vacation Nicole,
I couldn't PM you,but i understand.

Everybody has his own rules, and those rules are established based upon his own priorities, values and objectives.

I'm sure Radcow's rules work just fine to give him the sorts of experiences he expects.

I will share mine as an alternative perspective, understanding that they are suitable only for me and not intended to be prescriptive.

1. Select women that you admire and respect as whole people, and from whom you can learn. Find women who are emotionally mature, intelligent, confident and accomplished.

2. Select women, as closely as possible, to meet the same criteria you would use in at least a girlfriend. No, you don't *actually* want her as a girlfriend, but life is too short to pay for time with women you don't like.

3. Do NOT select women who cannot return some degree of admiration and respect. Nothing sucks more than seeing a woman who thinks of you as stupid, a loser, in some other way unworthy etc. The very idea inspires nausea. And paying under such circumstances is willing self-degradation; plus confirms the woman's worst traits.

4. Treat those women you have selected as worthy peers; because they ARE.

5. Pay them their rate. Enjoy their companionship. If it works well, see them again.

6. Play it by ear because each case is different, but always bounded by the parameters of self-interest, a hierarchy of values, and existing obligations. Friendships are fine as long as they are reciprocal and you always pay for intimate time.

7. Enjoy and feel the emotions in their full glory. It is part of the experience. But squash them mercilessly if they endanger others, your self-interest, your values, or existing obligations.

8. The sorts of women you select have the capacity to be formidable in every imaginable arena. Be sure of their ethics in advance.

Don't blabber about one provider to another provider or to you friends and keep your business to yourself.

his baby!"

but i rather like these rules.

rule #8 is something that is difficult to be sure of in advance, though......

in retrospect had i simply been more vigilant about first indications of defects under #8 i would have spared myself some trouble.

i'd even suggest #8a: expanding "ethics" to include courtesy. e.g. the ability to say thank you for a gift, deal with wait staff without condescension.

now i don't mind divas. i just prefer considerate divas who understand limits.

Good rules John. I don't see how mine are really at odds with yours. Because I used the WHORE word, all of the creepy new stud hobbyists think I've been a bad boy. I love these guys. Some of them are such fools they start believing they are sleeping with women who really love them (er money).

So I am now a pimp for making up some rules? Angela, your logic escapes me. You would be charged with multiple crimes if you are busted in one of your incalls with a customer, drugs, and hundreds of dollars of cash. I am betting that just from your history on TER and other websites and blogs, most everyone reading it would consider you more wed to this business than me.

Words such as Prostitute, Whore, Slut and Harlot (that one shows my age huh?) all bring with them negative connotations.  These words have been used throughout history to demean and caricature woman and it’s almost always by men to keep woman in their place.

You can point to the dictionary and use the sterile and innocent words to make your argument that Whore only means this, and Prostitute means that, but what you can’t see in the dictionary is the vile and hateful ways these words have been used to manipulate, punish and even control woman.

Pay for Play gives woman control and with that power and money.  By using their human interaction skills and their bodies they can become highly successful business people.  The “power of the pussy” Nicole refers to, acts to level the playing field against all the advantages men have had because of business, history and social norms.    Undoubtedly jealousy is at work here also.  The man asks, “Why can she get rich doing what I would do for free?”  

All of the women I have researched here, and ventured to actually meet with, have all been much more than a three holed, money-grabbing emasculator of men with nice tits.   The beautiful, successful, happy and content women I’ve met with, and spoken to, all have something in common.  They are all very intelligent and also very bright in a street sense sort of way.  The successful woman in this hobby nearly all bring superior communication and social skill to the encounter and all of them have a keen understanding of customer service on level men would find hard to comprehend.  

Then after all all that, they’re pretty awesome in bed too!

I agree Nicole,
We all need to show more Tolerance and Respect for other people around here.

This was a mean post? Lung, take a smoke. Read your posts and it easy to see your hero worship. At least find your own voice man. Why be a pansy follower all your life? I will respond to attacks in the same tone and voice and the attackers. You have the issue apparently, not me.

in a fashion appropriate to the "relationship" and the circumstances.

I so appreciate manner and a ladylike demeanor

and I so detest vulgarity in a woman especially when escorting the M'mselle du jour in public.

I have found that accomplished equates to 'haughtiness' in some. Given that,I avoid accomplished. Relative to your association of course.

Oh brother a blogger lol! Please spare me.Now you are off your own topic of your own post!

Pandering has not just one definition
Pandering, or inducing another into prostitution, When you negotiate and ask how much she will take to service you , then yes you are pandering .
You are then soliciting to a woman.


You clearly stated that you pay for sex.Maybe you even negotiate and make offers sure sounds like it to me.I have no substance abuse problem nor do I lock myself in a hotel room with wads of cash.You sure do have a selective memory and are quite the bold one behind the alias. Sounds like you know many who may or you just follow that you read and hear. Why don't you argue here with one of the guys? Not your style? Your character here
in my opinion is quite abusive . Were you abusive
to women ever?

I'm not commenting on this post any longer
it's not a logical topic and your focus is not
staying on your own topic while you turning it into a flame I close my statements to you.
Comment if you may ... All - By - Youself.
I find it very exausting communicating with men
who demonstrate a personality disorder or who show signs of anger

And you are spot on.
Don't get used to the compliment from me yet.
My hat is of to ya, today, bro.

Thank you Ego. I don't get upset if you disagree with me. I will give my counterpoint and it still doesn't work for you, it's still all good. I don't have to call names, but if someone resorts to that, I can do it too. I state a position and its up to the reader if they think it is right, wrong, or indifferent. TER folks get might jacked up about someone's opinion.

Since we are both independents Sins, I suspect that I am no bigger whore than you.

The people on your current board say otherwise about you  and I never gang up on you. I think I know what they mean.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.  You probably know who wrote that.  I think it is a very fitting bit of words, do you agree ?

... because they aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

The only issue of contention comes in the question of price for extras, but that is very much a personal preference thing.

-- Modified on 11/13/2009 8:30:59 PM

Jacked up is an understatement.  
I see you have brought out a few red faces
Ain't it great?

I thought is was a PSA of sorts honestly. I do think hobbyists get too enamored with the alphabet diddle and make mistakes but never admit them on these boards. I know a hobbyist who paid for such a session ($1000) and though he wrote a glowing review, he admitted to me that he was afraid to write the truth because she was a very popular provider (it was less than average) and fear he be blacklisted. You probably read where one such hobbyist crows that he doesn't see whores (prostitutes, sluts, fill-in the blank). I wanted to erase the post from there.

Good reviews,for below average performance,Not Good! It is something to ponder!

The rule said not to overpay. Providers who say they offer PSE for example come in all varieties. You have a number of price points from which to choose. If you are willing to pay one rate over another than is your choice, but the point of the rule is to not overpay when what you are getting is not demonstrably different from one provider to the next.

As I pondered your post, Radcow, and my reaction to it, I have come to realize that I may have fallen victim to emotionality evoked by the TITLE of your post and not so much by the rules in and of themselves.
Point by point:

#1 - If I should prepare myself as if it were a date, by being clean as well groomed as this old horse can be, I don't see that as being wrong. Expecting that the "date" will encompass excessive unwanted activity outside the agreed upon interval, as in over-staying the time, then yes, don't treat the session as a date.

#2- Simply put, in the vast majority of cases cash is king for pure means of discretion.

#3 - While familiarity can and might breed contempt, seeing someone repeatedly can also go toward establishing a rapport that can improve the experience not detract from it. If you're still enjoying the experience why change just for the sake of change.

#4 - Not overpaying for alphabet soup promises is a valid point. It's not what the acronym promises but the delivery of the experience that is the crux of the biscuit.


So while we might not EXACTLY see eye to eye, we are perhaps not so far apart..

C_K

I think a lot of people jumped on the title of post in White Knight fashion when there is nothing in the rules that is so inherently bad or even contrary to what most people do. As to rule #1, the sad truth is too many guys want more than is really being offered and if they like a woman, they go ape-shit over her. Well, she's not there for dates, she's there for business. Why do guys want to take it farther is just strange to me. In rule three, I didn't say see someone only once, I said see many because it helps you avoid breaking rule #1. As for rule#4, it was not an argument about price, it was a simple way of saying, don't be taken in by the promises. Too bad the thread turned negative. I more hoped for what "rules" other people followed. For the one guy who claimed he didn't see WHORES, well that was really priceless. And finally, I am not here to win a popularity contest. What I will do is post my opinion consistently. If someone has an issue, they should state their case rather than resort to calling names and being big babies. Sheesh, as anonymous as this world is, you would think people would get that and not waste energy on thinking they are winning a point or a prize. Good luck Cosmic.

You stalking me? You call me rude, that's your opinion. If being in a profession so displeases you, why not opt for an honest living. The "rules" didn't attack you or anyone else, you CHOSE to be offended, that's on you. You are in fights on all the boards where you post. I am betting that most people think you are bit of a pyscho. Calling some rude for using a common word is your effort not to face the truth. Unless you attack every poster that uses HO, BITCH, etc., don't stalk me because I use the universal word for your chosen profession. It's just a word!
