Do you just come off as a guy who gives money to others in need?  Has that come up in conversation in session?

Not sure why they would target you.  There has to be an explanation.  Maybe if you could give us some more information...

Are these actual providers, or sugar babies?

It's tacky and very unprofessional. If you wanted a sugar baby, I am sure you would be on a sugar daddy site and not TER. That is typical SB behavior and should be frowned upon in the escort world. Simply avoid the texts and move on to someone else. You did not sign up for the hassle.

no way

upscale providers do not ask for money to pay their rent..and you had four!!.unless your forehead said ATM and they could stick a credit card in your mouth..i seriously doubt this fairy tale..

4, 5, 6, etc hundred dollars PER HOUR runs out of cash.

I mean, what is she buying?  A new car every month?  $10,000 birken bags every week?!  A pair of Louboutons every day??

there are Favorite ladies whom I will repeat with.   But the P4P rule is to consider any money given to a provider is gone.  They might offer to work it off (but often suddenly become hard to reach) or pay you back (stranger things have happened but it's rare).  So if you want to "help her out" you do so by booking an appointment, getting the services / leaving the donation.  It's just playing safe with your funds.
This topic comes up pretty often & I know there are fellow hobbiests who have successfully advanced funds to providers & have had the agreements fulfilled...   but many more have not.  A few admit to a 50% ratio.  
Personally, I can't afford to be their ATM...   If I'm about to book a meeting I might shift it to her, since she's now on my mind...  but she goes back in the rotation after.   Even going exclusive with one eventually leads to a drop in service quality.  
"Upscale" is an advertizing term, but true upscale providers are careful self-managers.

I have had this happen to me, and the lady absolutely fits the definition of upscale.  For reasons that are too complex to go into here, I chose to help out, knowing full well that the money should be considered gone, and that I should probably be tattooed with the word "sucker".  But I did it anyway, as the amount of money was kind of trivial, and I chose to give her the benefit of the doubt, regarding the situation she was in.

What she does not know, is that she ended up making a very bad business decision, by chosing to target me this way.  I had full intentions to become a regular client, but as a result, I have seen her for the last time.  This will cost her thousands of dollars in lost opportunity.  So even though I gave her the benefit of the doubt this time, I have no intention of maintaining any relationship whatsoever, with someone capable of being a financial train wreck.  Too bad, since I REALLY enjoyed her company.

If these ladies are asking you for money outside of a meeting then they are NOT upscale providers! Simple as that. Find NEW providers who respect you
