mistakes you made as a new provider or hobbyist? Ones that you look back at, and cant BELIEVE you were so stupid??

1. Chose a girl not reviewed (got burned)
2. Gave out my real name
3. I low balled a girl for one hour!
4. Gave a deposit
5. Went thru an agency

instead of my work address.  They sent a bill to the house and that ended up getting me on the road to being divorced.  (Which is actually a blessing in disguise, but I didn't think so at the time.)

Number 2 was parking my car on the street instead of in the hotel's garage to save a few lousy bucks.  That led to my wife seeing my car and coming up to the room and surprising me along with my date.  That pretty much killed any chance of avoiding divorce, and made for a very awkward situation.  The poor gal I was with burst into tears.  

Numbers 3 - 5 was being way too trusting and generous with some gals and letting a lot of money slip through my hands that I really could use now.

Overall however, I am very happy with this lifestyle and everything I've gained from it.

what were the repercussions of your mistakes?

Yours dont sound TOO BAD! lol

Now, if a girl HAS to have my full, real name...I HAVE to go to the next girl on my list. This business should be all about stress relief, not stress inducement.

Well I made too many lol but

If you can provide enough references or other ways to verify you, then you should be good?

1) Car date and got robbed
2) Total upsale for every service
3) Not checking the bathroom while doing incall, thats were her pimp was
4 and 5 just can't remember it was so long ago

2...  
Did you pay it???  

I will just send an email with out it and with all my other methods for verification, it hasnt been an issue. Proly biggest piece of advice I could give to a newbie is to maintain your anonymity, as best as you can.  

he has zero references, and I have to screen thru work....  

another was offering a great special and I asked about getting the same deal. Turns out they knew (and didn't like) each other so I got caught in the crossfire.

only the VERY big ones. LOL.

1. Charged by the hour

did she see you anyways?

1 Cant wait till my finances are set more so I can eliminate this lol  

I wish I had put half of what I made away from 2001-2005  

P.S. I haven't seen London....

Laffy is the moron on the P and R board...you can't miss him. He is like a hyper active lab rat who ate 7 hits of acid, and posts until he comes down.

Damn dude...you're lucky to be alive!

Answer to #2, yeah i payed,  i was dumb and full of cum

I guess your right, but i'm a pretty decent sized guy and really never get fucked with.

I swear, these gals with pimps would be better off getting a 2 bedroom suite  

It was over 20yrs ago, and i think we've all learned some lessons. And thanks to TER and other sites i am rarely ever disappointed or surprised anymore. I had like 100 dates this last year and i can only think of 2 that weren't very good. So i'm very happy now with the way things are and for how they have gotten better.

It seems the guys were more respectful in the booking process back in 2001-2005  

I can understand where your coming from, back then you were dealing more with the professional man where as now days every Tom, Dick and Harry's are joining sites and really have no clue on how to properly conduct themselves with you professional women. But what i am saying in the older days 10/15yrs ago hobbying is so much better now than it was back then.

I did work in my early 20's at a house in Nevada... so I can not relate to the days of the Newspapers/Yellow pages etc

My only mistake was spending way to much $$$$ at the Nevada brothels during my early days of hobbying which began about 13 years ago.  I suppose I was too scared to play illegally back in those early days.  Oh well, I guess we all have to start somewhere.

1. Joining TER and being a frequent poster five years ago... but never bothering to get a website, therefore no reviews. Should've been using TER a long time ago!

Maybe not be a bitch, but be strong in your convictions, and forceful when you need to be... but I try to be a SWEET BITCH lol if they deserve it...  

Brought a bunch of extra cash with me to an appointment, she knew it some how and must have called from the bathroom after the session while I was getting dressed. There was a guy standing outside the door when I was leaving. He tried pushing me back into the room and had a pipe in his hand. I think he was a bit surprised because I m a big guy 6'5 and played college football so he couldnt really do much. I slammed him into the door frame and got the hell outta there. I was very lucky, not sure what he would have done if he d gotten me into the room. TER is great for knowing what you re in for ahead of time.
