have become wimpier in the past six months (with the exception of course of P&R). There are definitely many more providers posting and more newbies.
Part I think is just the tendency of boards to morph and change over time. I've noticed that you often have people who are very active posters for several months who then leave entirely. We have relatively few old veterans.
I also wonder whether more women are posting because TER remains one of the best, free forms of promotion. That certainly seems to be going on on the regional boards. In bad times, the providers are going to look for economical ways of promoting their services.
Personally, I think if some newbie posts a jerky poem on the GD board he should be flamed and sent running with his tail between his legs. As far as I know, the Newbie Board is the only place where we are asked to be nice.
I think it's gross when the providers jump to a WK's defense but I don't see anything to do about it.
Men's honest opinions on these boards tend to either get shouted down by providers or White Knights these days. It's become almost impossible to post as a REAL MAN with manly opinions & thoughts without an alias these days. Something is seriously wrong, and most every man I talk to is saying these boards are now glorified women's chat rooms with a few metrosexual men sprinkled in.The usual WKs, DQs, and effeminate tree huggers feel free to flame me!
I'm not sure!
...And perhaps some whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
And do not forget the Cherry.
..But why are you reading this?
I'm ready for that ice cream sundae...make mine with extra chocolate syrup and skip the cherry. Once you are all set up lets lick each others bodies till are sweet tooth is quenched.
Kisses Haley
but no crushed nuts, please.
When have we ever had any manly posts?
That is why you all like the alias.
From the beginning you can hide. Just like now.
The only person who is stopping you from being a real man is you.
I don't hide behind an alias. I get all sorts of stuff hurled at me, and I have hurled.
I don't get it.
I happen to think, you get what you put forth.
Just to let you know. I am Sexy Carolina, no other alias needed. And because I don't hide behind anything, my identity and it's "Character" is never an issue.
Atlanta board over past few months has moved in this direction. Seems our mod and others seem to think it is a mortal sin to say anything negative. In some cases, the comments do go over the top and I think their warranted in shutting someone down. But, they have taken it to extremes lately.
I had responded to a post my an Atlanta Male, I can't call him a gentleman.
I was going to Atlanta for the ACC Tourney.
He had posted about getting his 50th review.
I posted I could help him with his numbers. A fun and sexy response, even though I didn't know him.
he pm'd me and told me exactly how I wasn't his type. It was very rude and I actually was blown away.
I posted about it but made the mistake of posting what he said to me in pm, verbatim. I was moderated for a week. I didn't know I could get in trouble for it..but I learned. At the same time I was touring Atlanta, and couldn't even post my tour until the day I left for Atlanta. Someon, while I was in Atlanta posted he was looking for a MILF. I responded and also mentioned that I had only ONE date while in Atlanta.
The Mod allowed a poster to come out and be so rude as to say I was a Duke arrogant complainer who is never happy and that it was my own fault for not giving Atlanta more notice I was coming.
I also noticed this. The moderator likes to greet some ladies...you know be a White Knight...local ladies, touring ladies...his own favs. Not everyone. just his favs. i called him on that the other day in a pm. He told me ain't it a bitch to have your own board!!!!
So I guess I get it. I was probably thinking about the General board..etc. In the Carolinas, we had a mod for a few years, but mostly he was absent. Then we got Fuzzy, and now he is gone.
I do now get what you are referring to...REGIONAL boards...and that I agree on yes!
Sorry this happened to you. I have the greatest respect for the providers who genuinely try their best to deliver good times. And, I enjoy their participation on the local boards. But sometimes a little criticism in the form of an opposing point of view to their comment seems warranted or at least ok, such as the case of a provider who recently decided to double her rates and brag about her new found fame. I made a simple comment, " too excessive for my blood". and it was erased. But you know, such is life and its not the end of the world. If it gets under my skin too much I'll just find another form of amusement. I have seen exactly what you describe and the bias toward some folks is overwhelmingly obvious and quite frankly disgusting.
more than 1 appointment with you.
Yes, some boards have become that way.
It would seem that many hobbyists have not been posting real meaningful threads.
I think part of this is the political correctness that is running rampant.
The whining and complaining at every turn does not fester activity from experienced hobbyists.
I think if I see another WK post a poem, I will puke. This is not match.com, and is not about finding love.
You are also correct about using an alias. While I enjoy my aliases, I think they are necessary when I have strong opinions and do not follow the herd.

I don't think the boards should be "one sided" in either direction since these boards are not the property of any particular subset of clients or providers. These boards are TER's property and exist for the purposes deemed profitable by them. If TER "allows" certain forms of speech here then they are fair game.
There is room on the boards for a variety of opinions to be expressed. If you feel that there is no room for "real men's opinions" here then it is because "real men" have abdicated responsibility to contribute to the overall tone.
If by "real men's opinions" you mean rude and obnoxious posts, and trying to run everyone who does not share your "sensibilities" away, then TER has already addressed that with the new policies on board use - and YOU LOST. Get over it.
You must have a very weak ego and fear competing with other opinions - especially those "weak" opinions you apparently despise.
This is confirmed by your FEAR of using your "real name" to post this opinion.
Time to grow out of short pants, sonny boy....
that's what we're really here for -
how 'bout you?
They do things for me that they never do for other men. They like to keep that private so I honor their requests.
Mmmmm... Feels soooo good to be the best.
you have a need to learn to communicate effectively, like an adult, instead of like a 13 year old boy in bottle bottom glasses, pulling his pecker while he reads the boards.
Grow the fuck up child.....
There are some chicks on this board with bigger balls.
if you want to annoy me, sonny boy.
I hear your momma calling.....
(have a nice wank!)
while you pussy boys were busy popping your zits and giggling while looking at naked pictures.
The real measure of manhood here is giving the providers a proper seeing to, writing reviews and being willing to take one for the team. I've seen ladies four times who had no previous reviews when I made the date.
How 'bout you?
Your measure of manhood is seeing providers and writing reviews? LOL.
But you seem to think asserting yourself as a man means staying away from estrogen. How does that work? If a man really likes women he shows it by avoiding them and any description of them?
When a man starts to piss on thing related to women and women's lives, he demonstrates himself to be a man women think twice about being around.
My alias is Less estrogen, not none.
This is not about a man and a woman. This is about hobbyists and providers.
I think you are confusing the hobby with civie life.
BTW, I could use a good massage. No Thai please.
And how nice a person I am is somewhere after money and hygiene. Lol.
The reason that the boards have become this way is because the guys have let it. This is how the ladies earn their living, it is recreation for the guys. The ladies do get vindictive and territorial partially because bad posts and/or reviews can hurt their commerce. The shill/white knight posts defending every lady without an ounce of knowledge of the situation are nauseating to read and quite honestly one of the main reasons I have all but left the boards. The Florida board has turned into a shadow of what it used to be and the PS board is so full of newbs, I don't even bother any longer.
To see the guys flame another hobbyist for the sake of sucking up to a lady is deplorable. You know who you are.
I know the original poster and if you did, you would not question his credibility at all.
"It is what it is." I'm not certain how someone gets "shouted down" on a discussion board. People do disagree with each other. And, having a personal response to a post and expressing it is not shouting someone down, as long as there is no moralizing, or name calling, or attacking the poster's character. Expressing one's personal response to a post is just part of being in the community. If someone doesn't like something you said in your post, then take their response as feedback. Sometimes it's helpful, sometimes it's not.
Oh, and I find your speaking in vague generalities unhelpful, and what you have described, has not been my experience.
Fully accept and agree with what you say. IMHO, that's how it should be. Unfortunately, if you end up with a mod who sometimes aligns with the so-called WK crowd and supports that scenario with his/her ability to delete posts, then you end up with a TER board that is really not being managed consistent with the published TER policy statement. My 02 worth.
I see your point. I guess I don't keep close enough tracks to know what's going on behind the scenes, particularly regarding deleted posts.
Any connection?
Men have their "time of the month" too!!!
but how you say it.
You can disagree with opinions and even call someone out without being rude and obnoxious and without making personal attacks. It's a choice. Unfortunately, some choose to take the low road and make assenine comments instead of constructive criticisms.
I'm sorry, but I just have to laugh at posts like this. I really do.
Let me guess, you think TER is supposed to be akin to a smoky back room where the boys slap each other on the back and tell whoppers right? Are we ladies just decorations, to be seen and not heard? You wanna f*ck us, so long as you don't have to talk to us. In a previous thread, someone asked if some men hobby because its the only way they can have sex. Here is a perfect example of why the answer to his question is yes! You must be a real lady killer with the civvies! Knuckle dragging and all!
Dude, you seriously need to work on your ego issues if a little back and forth with a woman you don't even know other than as a handle on a discussion board is "seriously wrong". Last time I checked, every member here is entitled to chime in with their two cents. That includes women, as well as gentlemen you erroneously label "white knights". If you can't handle getting as good as you get on a discussion board, either get some thicker skin, or go find a hobby more suited to your temperament, like knitting.

You are so dead on w/that dissertation, finally a provider who understands, now if only the usual suspects (WK's & DQ's)on this board would.
Def. your best post ever, less is more baby!
The original poster was complaining about a difference in style that's come to the boards recently. There are many more female posters and fewer male. Read my post above.
Don't see any reason to insult him. At route, TER is about about fucking a provider. Some conversation is polite I guess, but it still boils down to fucking a provider. And the point is that all the white knight bullshit on the boards has nothing to do with fucking providers. It's namby-pamby flirting crap that often goes over the top and prevents the kind of lively back and forth you seem to like. So what's your complaint?
The label "white knight" is sure as hell not erroneous. Would you like me to point some out to you?
And I really think no one on this board should be questioning the refinement of someone else. Aren't we all either hookers or johns?
The nature of these boards is to seriously critique a provider's looks, ability to fuck, swallow a cock, take a dick in her ass etc. What we get too often is mouthy providers with too much time on their hands, and white knights getting in the way of such discussions. The top reviewed gals are rarely ever flapping their gums on these boards... rather they are flapping their gums around an engorged cock. Think about it.
Homo guys looking for a love connection stay home. They ugly hos as well. Let's have some quality control here please.
Before TER turns into skanky hos looking for desperate johns online.
Fuck you all. I'm rich bitch !
you are rich bitch! lol......

Nope.
There are a variety of boards here, and not one of them is called "Critique a provider's looks, ability to fuck, swallow a cock, take a dick in her ass etc."
This board in particular is a "General Discussion" which, as stated at the top, is for anything related to "the hobby, erotica, and sex". TER did not set this up to be limited to critiquing provider performance. The review section is SEPARATE from the boards. In fact, if you start critiquing the looks or performance of any particular provider on this board, I bet DC would pull it. The boards are NOT for specific reviews.
attitudes like this make me embarrassed....not as a man but as a human.
The top reviewed girls don't come here mostly because what good comes out of responding to a moron. For the type of experience you seem to want just buy a inflatable doll and we'll all party on without you just fine.
Some of us prefer the true GFE and not just a receptacle to fill.
an attitude like this in enough sessions and soon enough you probably won't even be able to get it by paying for it.
I get you, hon and I agree. Some of us have other jobs that are just part time, etc., so it's easier for us to post when we've got some free time. However, I try to stay away from the bashing part.
Hugs,
Ciara
if you don't want to. Why begrudge others the opportunity to converse and exchange ideas. There are many threads I never open, other topics I almost always open. Besides, when i'm setting up an appointment, I enjoy search for post by a provider and getting a sense for her personality from the content and words of post she makes.
I agree. I would peruse here or post here more if it didn't seem so overtaken by men squashing their true opinions in favor of sucking up.
Any man showing any sign of stating an opinion which might offend a lady will get ostracized. This is not the kind of forum to have to walk on eggshells. We don't have to be politically correct here.
Then there's the coddling of insecurities. The typical "Do the providers prefer bald men? Fat men? Hairy men? Big dicks? Small dicks?" No matter what the insecurity, a flurry of replies from the promot^^^viders will come in with "Oooo, I live bald, fat, hair men with whatever size dick. Cooo. Cooo...." and then the inevitable replies "Sweetheart, if you ever make it to Miami/NYC/Chicago/Whatnot I would see you in a heartbeat."
Would you prefer they tell the truth? It has been demonstrated time and time again that if a provider tells the truth they get flamed or worse...it kills business. The ladies that coo coo are doing what is expected of them considering they get reviewed. So if provider A says she finds uncut, fat men abhorrent, what happens if a gent fitting that description visits her..knowing she will put on a good show because she may be reviewed and he, because he was offended at her truthfulness, slams her in his review just to get back at her regardless of how well he was treated?
This board has a way of slapping the ladies no matter what they do or say on here. Frankly, it surprises me there are any women who bother to post. And those that are complimentary and playful are now being slammed.
Hey I'm all for it being a non politically correct site. It would be like a cyber-locker room...a lot of guys walking around in cyber-towels talking about the last lady they fucked into submission. You could talk smack about the ladies and thump your chests in perfect harmony.
Nobody is saying it has to be like a locker room. This is the "other side" argument which often comes to counter the point.
It's the vomit-inducing coo coos from both sides that really just needs to get toned down.
There is a way to be adults and be frank without resorting to either locker room behavior or nauseating coo coos.
Now, if you're not into S&M, then seat in the back seat and watch everyone else get chewed up and spit out. I think some men have too much estrogen. It's giving me a headache. 
Now, come here for your spanking!
Hugs,
Ciara
