and yes there are so called "professional hobbyists" that must drive the women mad. I don't think it's so much a number of reviews, posts, etc. I think it's more of an attitude that everything she does BCD or otherwise is gong to be judged, rated and then published for all to see and all the spontaneity, not to mention all the fun is going to be sucked right out of the session, not to mention used like a weapon to get a better rate, or to extort an "off the menu" activity with the threat of a bad review.

I think that is what some women consider a "professional hobbyist" and I really can't blame them for not wanting to see those type of men.

and the term predates you by many, many years.

but I will concede your last paragraph sums up a "professional hobbyist" rather well

I recently came across a lady's profile on P411 that basically said "Professional Hobbyists" need not apply.  

This was debated a while back when CPA and SaturnSky were going at each others throats.. London Rayne was still a hooker, and Nationals were sitting on top of MLB with 98 wins...  

and that is the hobbyist/reviewer who shows up with a acronym checklist, an entitled attitude and who is often hyper-critical.

In fact, when I was a Newbie, one of my first posts was along the lines of "WTF is up with this lame term?  Are we stamp collectors?"  I got flamed for daring to say such a thing, but I have never used the term.
As for being professional, if I'm such a pro then why ain't I getting paid?

Some people just approach things differently. Some people are more artistic in nature. They can paint, write, sing, play sports.. Some are good at Math, Physics, Accounting etc.  

A guy who wants to try all the gals as a bucket list option... I.e. Not a high chance for a returning client. Some ladies like to stick with a small circle of men.

The ladies must sense that attitude through the initial email exchange and reading the guy's reviews. I suspect that this type of guy definitely has reviews which display his character for all to see.

as there a need to call her a bitch for not wanting to see a certain faction of guy?

Actually I am not surprised, the ones reacting so badly are possibly the ones this lady is referring to.

In all fairness. I don't even know whom the Senator is talking about.

But you are pretty much the textbook definition of a "professional hobbyist."

you guys have a good rotation, but you better settle for a wildcard because the NL East belongs to the Atlanta Braves.

She should worry more about seeing an Unprofessional hobbyist than a professional hobbyist.

I get what the above description is and I've had a few. They watch the clock to make sure abcdANDe happens in the allotted time. Or after what for them was a great session they give you a look and say things like "little lady I'm gonna do you a favor and write you a great review…now you may not know who I am but if I give a girl a good review she will undoubtedly have a fantastic career". I'm thinking  
A)My booker already informed me of your weight on the boards. Can't play a player.
B)Career????????????????????

A professional is one who is paid for what we do, but we hobbyists pay for the opportunity to see providers.

Maybe they mean serious hobbyist or avid hobbyist, but why that is a negative?

I guess she means an obnoxious hobbyist who treats people like dirt, but that could be amy hobbyist.  It makes no difference if they hobby a lot or a little.

are you saying that I am a textbook definition of a nebulous concept? lol...

Watch out for Nats this year.. We are rocking and rolling.. Have you seen the starting rotation? Damn....  

I remember she posted a cartoon about a "professional hobbyist" a year or so ago, it was hilarious.

There's always the option of deleting old okays from p411 so that you appear far less of a " professional " monger.  

It's really not that vague.  

Daaaamn girl. The fuck did he do to you??

Post here or pm me 10 traits of a professional hobbyist. I have an idea of what you think of me, and I am preety sure you are not evenn in the ballpark.

See GaG's and Tabu's posts.  

And I rarely write reviews unless the girl asks me specifically. I don't even mention reviews.  Using it as a weapon is just a low blow imo

Think with your own head.  Overly critical? That's it..Just one?

How many are saying this as they read the post........"my name is XXXXXXXX and I am a professional hobbyist"

.because they expected too much. In other words........they knew what should happen and'd report BS service.

I think its pathetic to be a "Professional Hobbyist" or "Escort". It clearly spells out someones delusional priorities

describe it, I think its a good thing. My name is Curly. I am a Nats fan and a Professional Hobbyist..

..Al Gore did... just before he invented global warming...

I'd really rather not get into this with you because I can already tell it'll turn into a train wreck. Plus I just don't feel like typing that much shit. Let's just not go there.

Start a new thread. Do it over a PM.Do it after a week. I am all ready for debate anytime of the day or night. Or.......Just admit that its a nebulous concept, and can't be debated intelligently.

Fine. Remind me via PM and I'll give you the breakdown if/when I feel like typing that much. It's definitely a debatable topic, and one that can be articulated intelligently, I'm just lazy.  

Yassssssss! I am beyond pumped for opening day! I tried to convince my friends to make a trip to Viera to catch a little bit of Spring Training during spring break this week but everyone is much more interested in stayed blacked out on the beach the whole time... Rats!
