So I used to see provider's almost every week when i was younger , there was an excitement and thrill to seeing someone new, and the whole game was new. Posting a new review was exciting, and sharing intel with other mongers was interesting.  

you were posting when you were younger?  

Fosta/Sesta, the decline of TER and the rise of Twitter have destroyed the business as it used to be.

I had my old handle and all my reviews deleted. I believe there were approximately 85. Just left with my memories now.

and I think that it is mostly that I have gotten (much) older.  

I started seeing hookers at the ripe old age of 21 while living  in South Central PA. The year was 2002. I might have seen 3/4 that yr as I was still a broke student. After getting my first job and moving to DC area I started seeing hookers every single pay period although I was making a paltry $35K/yr . I would do some side hustles to come up with extra $200-300 to get some pussy. Since my dad was a businessman, getting side hustles to do wasn't that hard at all.  

In the past year or so I’m not as rambunctious as I use to be, kinda have this blah,blah attitude. Sometimes it’s feel forced. Being late 60’s ..maybe that’s the root of it. It use to be once a week in my home town then a 2 day free for all in Vegas every month. But now, it’s like whatever

since you are articulate, I thought it might be good reading and would give me an idea if we like the same types of providers.  I'm always looking for newer fellow mongers who have similar experiences as mine with the same girls.  I can give their reviews more cred for girls that I have not yet seen, but am considering.  

the rest of us here should call you "the kid."  Lol   Most everyone else on this thread is at least 60.  I can't tell you how much it sucks to be the same age as old people.  Lol

Once you have seen about 200 providers, there is not a lot that is new and exciting, just different looks, and oftentimes varying degrees of worse when it comes to the sex.  Lol    But it's hard to stop completely when the alternative for sex is relationships with women closer to my age who are even worse in bed than the bad providers.

I hear ya. I've been completely spoiled by the SB's I've met since I started hobbying, which led me to stop seeing ho's. There's just no comparison. I've always gotten along very well with young girls, since I've stayed in shape, and can relate well, have a good time outside the bedroom.  I like to spoil and be generous as well. I think that Sugar sites have become jaded with gold diggers, unfortunately. Hard to find a gem anymore. Many of the ho's on here are also fishing in those waters....

Okay, I'll dredge my memory for a few Provider's I've seen over the years that I think were excellent, in no particular order.  

ClassyIV/ Ivy League ; retired, Masters in quantitative finance; In Stamfod and Greenwich

I still go  through the offerings on SB sites and pro sites and want to do just about every other girl.  But when it comes to parting with $300-$400, that's usually the deal breaker.  

I'm about a decade younger than Tom Cruise, but not young anymore either. Been at this hobby on and off about fifteen years. I got much better in shape like mad since Covid started. But now it all aches daily with the regular exercise and gym and I have to decide if I want to keep pushing it like Cruise did , my "inspiration". The 'inflated' providers and the sorry state of the hobby and ter today aren't appreciating it anyways for the most part.

Plus the providers today are 95% no way as good as they were in the mid 00's and society, cultural propaganda and media today has given females carte blanche on faking or ignoring all they want on not working staying in shape, in their 20's and 30's and depending on body jobs or evolved photoshop fakery. All that onlyfans and twitter nonsense has led to far less GFE- services at crazy prices today for escorts charging 700 to 1k+ that don't even bother working on staying in shape anymore,  in my opinion, where I feel it's mostly not worth it anymore. Whoever said, that most guys like those ungainly bubble butts, that propaganda has pushed on society for a decade now. And those of us from mid 40's to  60, etc. gen-x, of course we remember when tats wasn't a thing in general culture and only seen among lowlife and punks. It's maddening today seeing what it's become, where only eastern europe cultures (or asia) have some semblance of 20th century sanity left in how people should healthily look.

If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car....

Lola, uptown near Columbia. She was a true nymphomaniac. Damn shame she retired in 2009. Offered Greek.

Of course some needs to be laid at the feet of r the COVID crisis as well, something we really couldn’t control. That was when Only Fans really took off. PTB also needs to realize that prohibition of this activity hasn’t really worked anymore than it did with liquor a century ago.

And still remember the mind blowingly gorgeous model level Russian girls near Fairfax / la brea - my fav was Jennifer who I saw almost every other week for nearly 1.5y until she got into a green card marriage. At like 300-350 each time, she was way better than the 1k-1.5k girls I see advertise now. Yeah, there is inflation I get it but the quality of service and beauty/ fitness is lower so it ain’t as much fun anymore

I tried a few times to see Ivy. I was enthralled by her ass as highlighted in the pictures on her website.
Couldn't make it happen.

She is still one of the top providers.

Yes, Ivy had a truly amazing ass. Probably saw her 3-4 times.

Freudian slip?

I wonder if anyone remembers the movie "Network" , the Howard Beale speech. Nothing like speaking the truth.

Did you just find out that I am 41 ?  Almost everyone here who knows me, knows my age.. I have been quite open about it..  

Unless you see the same people over and over doing the same routine things. Mix things up,get creative, surprise yourself. If you think cost is getting to high and service is not matching  up , then see people who are a guaranteed good time, offering the services you're  interested. It's  a case of demand and supply pretty much, and many of us are to be  blamed.Never date someone paying them hundred of dollars without  knowing exactly  what you're  getting.

After sosta this hobby toke a nose drive! A lot great agency from Miami got busted and closed shop . The girls from  Columbia, Venezuela, Brazil disappeared.The talent and service was incredible . Only Fans and Twitter killed this hobby. $700 girls  only give cbj and No CIM  and no DFK . And talk about inflation some want $1,000 or more for 1 Hour plus a deposit!! After seeing 300 Ladies. One Lady was my best Eva St  Laurent . She’s the gold standard!

I see the landscape now , and have heard similar commentary from many mongers on the board.

I answered a similar post below.....

Interesting thread. For me the thrill is never gone. I get excited preparing for a date. I plan out according to the desires of my new friend. I love to have lingerie picked out that is the persons favorite color. I enjoy having snacks & libations to indulge in as we chat for the first time. Adult toys maybe an option. I’m, like the epic party planner & playtime entertainment. In everyday life I don’t wear make up, so I get to paint my face for the fun time & dress up in whatever my friend suggested that tickles his fancy it’s a blast. I haven’t even started on the good stuff that comes after…

This world used to be awesome, absolutely sucks now. Not sure where are all the good guys disappeared to but wow. Only see one great guy now with no hopes of anyone new popping up. Can't stay great forever I guess.

And I'm literally nobody, you can just call me the invisible woman

How much do you weigh?  

Farts are invisible, how much does a fart weigh. Perhaps that is a good reference point.

They may SEEM invisible when you are fully dressed, but later you can discover that the tangible parts became trapped in your underwear.  Just ask any old person over 70.  Lol

Or you can ignite them with a lighter and get a pretty amazing flame.

Farts are visible when they catch on fire.

Gas???? Lovely. You guys are certainly charmers let me tell ya. For what it's worth I'm about 115 lbs so I guess that weighs more than a fart🤪

The links (below)  from the Philly and New York ad boards show you are in Philly and New York at the same time.

When I first came on board, I had to ask, too.
New York Yankees
40 World Series Appearances
27 World Series Championships
Will "2023 = 28" ?

Now that I'm 70, I still find the sight and feel of a beautiful young naked woman thrilling.  I'm more selective about who  I see these days, but I look forward to these encounters.  I enjoy every minute that I'm with them.  And I feel good about it after I leave.  I hope I never lose that feeling.  I appreciate what they do, even with an old guy like me and I certainly don't think of them as hookers or whores.

So... you shit you pants on a regular basis.
   
not surprised.

I'm NOT over 70.  How about you?   When I posted this, I knew I was baiting the dumbest guy on the board to say exactly what you said, but I'm really surprised it was you.
