Talk is cheap and most hobbiests know when a lady is trying to put another one down. They may listen once but will pass on seeing that lady again. Gentlemen are here to enjoy themselves not listen to provider crap.

Even if you don't cause drama on your local board defending yourself is enough to chase people away. Just let it go and no one else will listen.

It may sound archaic of me to say this, but a gentleman wouldn't be repeating to you distasteful things another provider has said about you. That's tattling fit for third-graders. Best probably to let it go in one ear and out the other as you say.

Also, however, I'd think twice about seeing a client who's this prone to pass gossip.

However, there are folks who just want to tell lies and bash others.  Thankfully, most people judge for themselves rather than believe everything they hear.

I have to wonder what good a hobbyist thinks telling you something negative someone else said about you will do him?! GREAT idea get the woman you're about to have sex with angry. DUH and if he starts to enlighten you after the session just cut off the conversation by letting him know you prefer not to hear or discuss that subject.

Three thoughts about this:

1)  What kind of client would go about spreading this kind of gossip?  Certainly not a gentleman or even a very considerate person.  I saw one provider (not reviewed) that made a point of voicing her negative opinions about a couple of other local providers.  She was a beautiful woman - outside.  I will never see her again.  And I would never tell anyone else what she said.

2)  You don't even know whether this 'gentleman' is even telling the truth.  Maybe he embellished what was said.  Maybe nothing was really said.  Maybe he heard it from someone else, but he has some twisted reason for wanting to pin it on her.  Either way, not realiable enough to worry about.

3) Karma is a bitch.  Being a decent, honest human being has its own rewards.  The less scrupulous may not pay for it now, or soon, or even in this lifetime, but it will come back.  

Appreciate the good people and don't let the bastards get you down.
