It's a bunch of horny old guys who need to pay girls to have sex with them, so yeah, I'm betting a lot of them are wound up real tightly, ready to lost their shit on any provider with an opinion. They probably also yell at kids to stay off their lawns too.
I’m laughing so hard I snorted!

That's how I knew I was getting old, when I literally told some Jr. High kids to get off my lawn. That and changing into a pair of shorts and walking outside to get something I left in my car. I noticed I hadn't taken off my black socks. So, I was that guy in shorts and black socks with my dress shoes - and the sad fact was I didn't care.
Got the picture.But you forget to mention the beer gut.
...but, not all of us are wound too tight, don't need to pay all the time, and don't yell at kids to stay off the lawn. Be careful when you generalize, there are always exceptions. Peace.
for that feeling of Freedom and Wind in my hair...
Your "Way of Life" makes me throb with excitement.
*there's Nothing "Old" about you, Senator.
...a man's ego. Among other things. 😎
for being the first reply and spot on. And before anyone starts yelling that I'm/we're bashing anyone, this post is about the disgruntled trolls. If you don't fit that description don't take it personally. If you do, come on down. I'm so very ready to ignore your BS. 
xo
You are of what you speak.
This isn't exclusive to TER. Pick any social media platform or website comment section and you'll find loud obnoxious trolls tossing around ad hominems.
and don't allow people to move around "spewing" all the time. Or at least they don't make it as easy as it is here.
The internet is a platform for misogyny, racism and meanness. The anonymity allows people to say crap they would never say in person. You just have to ignore the negative posts.
Indeed. I see a few keyboard warriors in this forum, but majority of internet users usually are. Nothing new.
I agree what you say to “submit to the idea that there will be fools and leave it to that” . As an example, there is a provider having a train wreck currently dominating the conversation on the deposit thread right now. Let it be ...
Sorry, but that's not a train wreck.
That's lucid, logical, rational thinking falling on fallow fields.
Branding brave women who stand up to bullies online or in person as crazy is so twentieth century.
Listening to us is the new black, welcome to the future. That I stand out here only confirms how polluted the waters
There should be no reason for us not to have a healthy debate with a variety of diverse voices from all sides with solutions to boot, but instead we have to be knee deep this nonsense.
I don't leave it be..
WE cannot ignore these things online anymore than we can ignore it in person
Oh, ya a lot of folks wouldn't step up in person.
That's not my cue to follow that's my cue to lead.
Hop on board. Not afraid, intimidated or impressed.
........... I am not a negative. But, we do have a mix of people, just like the real world. There are some people with some good things to add, there are comedians, there are arseholes and there are douchebags.
The douchebags usually end up screwing up and getting banned from the boards.
I am here for information, entertainment and to have a voice with people who are doing some of the same things that I am. And those things are illegal. I think that sometimes gets forgotten.
I realize this forum isn't to everyone's taste. I have a lot of fun with some of the mongers and some of the providers.
I also realize that there are only so many topics that can be discussed, without going over and over again.
What I also see is that, if the douchebags go away from the boards, usually the good people rarely contribute anything new and the board ends up dead.
Sorry, you feel like it's no fun for you. I don't see anyway of making it fit for you. I tend to see if I can fit myself into what is going on. If I can't, I move on.
Now to get back to the glorious fornication.
Have Fun!

I know what my clients think because it gets mentioned in dates and most say that it is way too negative to engage in.
Sounds like you got the right kind of clients.
There a lot of well adjusted people who pay for sex, but there are also losers who use it as a crutch because they have absolutely shit going for them. I don't know what the ratio is universally, but it's safe to assume that the ones who have don't have much of shit going for them are more likely to post things on the internet. Because, yanno, what the fuck else are they going to do? And if it's the losers doing most of the sounding off, it's going to be negative and adversarial. They got a platform, many bones to pick, and lots of spare time to pick them.

There are posters here that attack and insult you when you post? Those bastards!!! I would NEVER insult a lovely lady like yourself that is still 27 years old after all these years. I agree sometimes the board is "contaminated." I just do my best to try not to step in it and get it all over my new shoes, but its difficult to ALWAYS watch where you step.
You don't know me. My reviews match up with my age. I've been here for close to six years and started in college. All my early reviews say YOUNG because I was college age. Why insinuate that I'm lying about my age? Am I suddenly 35? And you know this how?
You want to agree with me, but just can't help yourself. Why?
Irony . . . . "used typically for humorous purposes" . . . . . to quote the online dictionary. I can explain I further, word for word, if you like, but you claim to have gone to college. Let me know if you need the help after you calm down and lighten up a little.
is that you have to actually express it for it work. You can't fuck up the execution of it and then wave everyone else off as ignorant because they can't crawl in your stupid skull and know what the fuck you were *trying* to express.
Good job getting your associate's from Devry, but you have a bit to learn about literary devices before you start lecturing on them.
Didn't fuck up anything. I bashed guys insulting girls, then turned around and insulted her. It doesn't get any simpler than that. If you don't get it, too bad, I'm not dumbing it down any more for one guy who's full of himself.
But why bash her at all? Especially since you honesty don’t know her age. So joke ironically that she still 27? Where did that come from? Or that’s the only purpose to your posts to belittle everyone? Do dumb it down and reply to my questions not ramble on please with worthless drivel unrelated to her question and mine.
I did not "bash" her. I feigned moral outrage that there are guys here that insult providers, then I threw her a soft-ball insult for laughs. THEN I agreed with her post. Why are there so many people here that take this hobby so seriously and seem to have a stick up their ass all the time? Now YOU answer my question. You're hiding behind your alias, so that should make EVEN you feel a little bit brave.
Before you question where the 27 came from and say I don't know her age, you should check her website. (Great photos, BTW). Its bad form to white-knight for a girl when you haven't even looked her up, much less seen her. Makes you look like a dumb love-struck millennial. I will endeavor in the future to only belittle YOU, only because you're such a tight-assed tool. Lighten up brother, life will be good if you let it.
“Didn't fuck up anything. I bashed guys insulting girls, then turned around and insulted her” and insult is a soft-ball punt for laughs is not bashing?
I’m not here to defend her. On the contrary. Her post asked a legitimate question which I don’t think you addressed at all.
“Does the constant negativity add something substantive?” apparently it does for you.
I tried to back up your insult to see how seriously off her age could be only because those that even care to point that out won’t say they wouldn’t see her because she lies or her age is miscalculated. She hot... will I see her, no, would I see her, yes.
So to further how constant negativity add something substantive? Well, your reply about my posting as an alias and later saying “Makes you look like a dumb love-struck millennial. I will endeavor in the future to only belittle YOU, only because you're such a tight-assed tool.” Surley this topic fits you perfectly.
Show me the data where your assumption of age comes from, I looked, he website, ads, P411, review history and only see in her TER profile an age range.
Then again, explain what’s the purpose of bashing or your soft-ball insult punt makes a damn bit of difference since you said you liked her pics? Not negative?
And follow me my brother all you want. It will only support your sole intent in posting is negative to get reactions from those who might be sensitive and then entertain your continued BS.
Btw, this has been entertaining for me how about you, going for a smoke and beer after this you going to join me?
Were you born without a sense of humor or is it a result of not getting enough sex? One more time, and if you're too dense to get it, I give up: the age crack was a joke. I'm only serious here about a third of the time, and it's pretty easy to figure out when I am, at least for the educated ones here. Have you ever even seen a provider?
That reply must be in the one third of time category. Lol
And her age matches her website. She’s all she claims to be and then some.
Why are you always such a dick?

If you've spent any time at all on the discussion boards you learn very quickly who the most frequent posters are and MOST of them are quite full of themselves. They're only here to entertain themselves at everyone else's expense. They'll hijack threads, pick fights and challenge anyone who dares to differ with them. They thrive on getting anyone riled up and the worst thing you can do is respond to them directly and engage them in their stupid games. Just ignore them and filter through their bullshit to get to the posts that are substantive.
I must admit, however, that I intentionally provoked one of the worst offenders the other day and called him out on his bullshit. In other words, I behaved just like him to get him all out of whack and riled up. He got so pissed off that he made a total And complete ass of himself!! It was fucking hilarious!!!
on this board. There are more positive posters than the one's I suppose you are talking about. I guess it's all about perspective. I think a lot of the negative comments come from people who are not regular contributors. I did say a lot of, not all of.
Please just contribute.
There's a bit of a good ol' boy thing going on. One of the most prolific and worst offenders used to be a TER moderator, so you know they cut him a lot of slack and enforce things unevenly because of that.
Once he ends up on a subform it turns into the usual turd swirl.
Ultimately it is TER's responsibility to set the tone of the forum they want to maintain ... and this is what it is. So it's their responsibility.
I couldn’t say it better myself!
Ultimately it is TER's responsibility to set the tone of the forum they want to maintain ... and this is what it is. So it's their responsibility.
The rules of engagement are lax and almost seem to promote the BS. They are obviously mods, they could be more proactive.
and they don't much like being hit back when they lash out with insults of their own when you DARE to disagree with a them.
I am (since this is about me! 
) happy to have a rational, logical discussion but I will not be insulted without replying in kind. Get past it. Sweetheart, you are incapable of making anyone with a brain "helpless" (with your clothes on!). Don't flatter yourself.
Your BSC "sister" on the topic of deposits started a wholesale, barely comprehensible attack on pretty much all men, and had an epic hysterical fit when folks responded. Then you weigh in defending the indefensible with your own set of preemptive insults and snarky bullshit. Precisely what the fuck did you expect, flowers? Grow the fuck up and get over yourself.
Spare us the innocent act! Help me TER White Knights! Help me! Help me!
Your posts are chock full of the same personal attacks and insults that you condemn - - you are as bad as anyone with the sarcasm and vitriol.
Spare us the victim act and pull on your big girl panties .
If you don't want to be insulted, don't insult, having a pussy won't always protect you from the consequences of your own words.

NorahLucille, I posted something similar in the "suggestion and policy" board. The first response to a thread shouldn't be negative.
I would like to have a lot more providers participate here, as the information on what has been posted has been very helpful to me. Even the language that I use, which ma seem innocuous, isn't. It helps me understand how somebody else interprets it - even if I'm not really intending harm, it is hurtful on how it comes across to others.
I agree that the vitriol causes fewer people to post because they don't want to deal with being attacked by a pack of hyenas. What happens is people stop posting, and the forum distills down to a group of loud and obnoxious people that chase everybody away - and it just feeds off itself so you get a black cesspool of nastiness.
So what you have is a condensed group of people that feed off each other and ruin a board and potentially helpful threads. I've seen it on other boards, especially where the moderators allow it.
You'll be told to just ignore them, but its never just one person, its a pack. I could put together a list pretty quickly of the clique of assholes on the General Discussion Board.
When a new poster comes on board with legitimate questions they get told, "Oh, not that question again". Well, people are new to the business, and may not be the seasoned pros or mongers that others might be. Welcome them into the fold and be patient, versus treating them with disdain.
Still standing on my soap box on this issue. This is a good site, could be great with some better moderators. I've just noticed that the number of posters has dropped dramatically in the past year. There are other reasons, but what you posted Norah is one of the factors.
I couldn’t agree more with what you are saying. One of the first things I see on the board from the mods are if you post anything mean it will be removed which is not the case. These people who insults anything for any reason and get off topic and much more.
Then when there are more troll posters who are dominating the board, people who are just coming in get the wrong idea of the whole site in itself. When in reality there are many good providers and clients on this site but if you go by just what you read on here you would definitely get the wrong idea quick and think this is a Facebook for retirees with way too much time on their hands and not enough meds LOL
Its sad but true what sociopaths do to compensate what they lack in life and have already burned their bridges with people in the RW so they turned to the Internet to cause havoc until they are kicked off and so it goes..

...it does seem like a reflection of what we hear everyday on the news channels. In my opinion, anyone who has to resort to insults and shouting has lost the arguement. Any meaninful dialogue is lost at that point.
Now, I do enjoy locker room banter which is mostly harmless fun. I guess there are those who don't understand, but, that's okay. We're all entitled to our views. I just draw the line when someone tries to tell me how I should live and think.
Yes, there will always be fools and it's easy for me to ignore them. I don't think that they overwhelm the conversation. There are enough rational fun loving voices that balance things out most of the time.
Solo mis dos centavos...
...and since I know I'l get grief if I don't add it. This is for those who like pictures. 😎
I always enjoy the pictures you post, but just lament that they aren't providers. 
I, too, lament that they are not providers. But the senator still gets my vote every election for posting them.
not providers does not mean Senator B isn't fucking them anyway. Never make assumptions about politicians.
A wise man said "If an argument last longer than 3 minutes, both sides are wrong" Neil deGrasse Tyson
The answer otherwise you wouldn't have posted. It's like any other social media platform where people have giant cojones and say whatever they want. For me I am a very happy and positive person. If they are negative in the forums most likely we won't be a good fit in real life.
Just move on or put the user on ignore. Dont engage them at all. It's very bad for business and your well being. For me not all money is good money so I make a note and move forward to someone who is happy and not tearing people apart. Life is to short for all that. Your persona on the boards is important..since most of my business is based off people finding me on the forum, I post often and keep an upbeat, drama free attitude. Sometimes I post ads but I prefer a more organic and low volume approach anyways.
Don't get caught up in the hype...

in which the loudest, most frequently heard from, are often those who want to push other people around because they feel a right to control the body, action, speech and property of others. Sometimes it's appropriate to call bullshit; most times it's best to live and let live. Some haven't reached that level of intellectual/emotional maturity yet. Just saying...
I live in Minnesota where we have quite a few mosquitos. They can drive you crazy If you let them. They will always be there so get used to it. The rest of the outdoors here is awesome. We still go out and enjoy the awesome activities and the beautiful Scenery
Yes this board has mosquitoes but it has even more great posters who add a lot to this delightful hobby.
But mosquitoes die off when it gets cold.
Otherwise, a great analogy.
In my opinion, it's more an adolescence. Bullies, smart asses, egomaniacs who have to get in the last word, thin skin hotheads, etc...Welcome to social media. Yeah, it gets old and ruins some good OPs and useful comments trying to weed through the mess. You can be funny, stand up for yourself, or point out right from wrong without being obnoxious.
More importantly, who’s gonna be your quarterback for next year ?
You have to have a thick skin. You have to know how to separate the locker room banter from the actual misogynist trolls. I get a lot of laughs reading the arguments on this board, kinda like watching the 3 stooges. Personally, I don't post unless I have something valuable to contribute to the conversation, and I generally keep it positive. However, when I do jump on someone, I can be even harsher than the usual trolls.
"the locker room banter from the actual misogynist trolls"
can you expand on this? i personally don't really see a difference
Say GaG, Jake and CDL giving each other shit Vs some fucker going off on the ladies because of price points, deposits, tattoos, etc..
by the just omnipresent posts by some of these guys that are on here commenting on every post poo pooing everyone, It makes me wonder when do they actually have time to have the sex they claim to be having.
You are, after all, one of the most frequent posters so why are you so uncharacteristically silent? And hey, I have another question for you buddy, and I mean this sincerely. Have you ever had an epiphany moment where you think to yourself, for however fleeting a moment "Oh man, I really AM a fucking asshole, I should shut the fuck up." and then that moment passes and you go back to being yourself? Please think about it before you answer, okay? If the answer is yes then there may be some hope for you after all. Thanks, buddy.
GaG? Come on, buddy I know you're out there. It's been 4 days now and I know you've checked this thread out and...........oh, wait a minute....oh my god! Could it be that you've HAD that epiphany and it really hit home with you? WOO HOO!!! I'm so proud of you, man!!!!
Oops. I guess I was wrong. Looks like he's been doing his thing in just about every discussion but this one. People, you really need to ignore this guy and not respond to his posts. I have a theory as to why he's such a prick though. He has a very serious "flaw" of some kind that would be obvious if you met him. Maybe it's a speech impediment. Maybe he's deformed in some way or was disfigured in some kind of accident when he was very young. Perhaps he's a dwarf. Whatever it is, I believe his parents didn't care or love him enough to teach him how to deal with it when they raised him and it subjected him to the taunts and cruelty that were inevitable from the kids around him as he grew up. He became a miserable piece of shit and wants everyone else to be miserable too so he baits everyone from behind his monitor into his fights so he can try to make you look stupid, ugly or worse. Do yourselves a favor and don't dignify his posts with any replies at all.
Negativity ads nothing, it just alienates people. There are certain topics I do not discuss with people unless I know they are insightful or at least capable of not flying off the handle if they begin to lose the debate. Sucks that you have to be a victim of the attacks, but keep stating your opinion it is your right, and know you own those nasty bastards, because you got them angry.
No matter the board. No matter the topic. There will be trolls. There is only one well known rule for dealing with them — do not respond. Do not take the bait.
It is painful and exasperating to step aside and not engage. But it is the only way. This of course can only minimize — there is no cure.
but I really don't see anything negative on the TER discussion boards. Some guys are overly sensitive and most hookers seem to have a thick skin while laughing with the guys at the shit show.
Haven't been to the Politics and Religion board lately have you. ;P

Danger WIll Robinson! Visiting the Politics forum can cause you to lose 10 IQ points on the first look.
I post infrequently.....I am moderately successful in business.....I feel good about myself now......even when I did not I never felt the need to put someone else down to raise myself up. And that is what goes on here and other Internet forums.
There have been social and business situations where I have vented and tore into people. Trust me, they deserved it. I dont look for trouble, but when I need to assert myself, I assert myself to their face....LIKE A MAN!!
....and mostly my responses are fairly tame.
If I’m caught on the wrong day though and I’m feeling that way out and I’ll have at it with anyone who behaves likes a tosspot but I mostly ignore them...unless of course they want to call me out on my nationality, heritage and education in the same thread. That one was just too good/easy to leave alone...😄
Seriously though I mostly cannot be bothered with socially inept folk and just click the ‘log out’ button and go and make myself a cup of tea 🤪
Peace

Tosspots -- must be a British term. Hopefully they take the tube rather than drink-driving.
Isn't that something like ass-hat?
I don't think so. I know a few British terms, Let's see if I've got this right.
Torch = Flashlight
Water Closet = Bathroom
Ass hat = GaGambler
Tosspot= dickhead=knob jockey=arsehole=wanker=cock end
One and all the same really
Ah, good to know, Camille. I wasn't aware he was referred to by all those names as well but it makes sense. Thanks.
I enjoy mingling in real interesting and silly conversations here on the boards..and have made new girlfriends and guy friends and get dates. .business and pleasure... So Enter at your own risks 😚
Indeed. Your posts are always fun, sweetheart.
Oh thank you, I will see what I can cum up with next..Lol... Oh and Happy New Year Everyone!!

How do you really feel about the "loud ones" that dominate conversations here? I mean personally, every once in a while I love to engage them so that they feel so utterly helpless that they: feel the need to personally insult me, insinuate that I'm not smart enough to use "big words", insinuate that I have poor reading comprehension, use wayyy to many emojis, etc., when my replies deal directly with the topic at hand and feature no personal attacks.
Is it just fun to watch train wrecks? Do you submit to the idea that there will always be fools and leave it at that? Doesn't it feel like giving them that much voice contaminates the board? If you're a client, do you feel there's too much female engagement so you don't mind their toxic spewing? I know what my clients think because it gets mentioned in dates and most say that it is way too negative to engage in. But what do the frequent posters think?

Insecure men feel better, temporarily, by expressing their discontent toward others while feeling no shame when glancing in their mirror of constant social failure outside of their dreams.
An insecure man does not always realize how insecure he truly is, though they will often reveal their insecurity to all with constant mention of self inflated worth and wisdom, while belittling others they view as unworthy of respect.
It's easy to recognize insecure men for what they are.
In lieu of submitting examples of the most illustrious insecure men on TER general, I'll use an example I haven't read on the board but I've seen many times in the Real world.
When you find a man who will not accompany you on the dance floor because you are six inches taller than him you have found an insecure placebo man.
When you find a man who will proudly hold your hand walking down the street even though you are half a foot taller than him, you've found a man who won't be knocking you down to futilely help himself look bigger than you.
Norah, You are a winner, don't take the position of loud obnoxious social losers to heart, show empathy by ignoring them while silently laughing at their social dysfunctional nonsense.
Regardless what we do or say, insecure placebo men are here to stay, often outnumbering secure men ten to one.
No doubt I found some hearty laughs with insecure comments directed toward your OP. 
There are trolls everywhere not just on TER discussion boards. They lurk and wait just for the chance to entertain themselves. It would be fun and different to see how it would be without the negativity.
