Provider Decline

[LoveNHorny]

Great discussion! I come and go from the hobby, and my board activity mirrors this, for the most part. This includes two periods during ASPD (I was around when it shut down) and now here with the reinvention.

Although I do not have the more complete experience to draw from, as many of you, the intermitance has provided different perspectives from several points in time. I agree with a lot of the great observations offered already, especially Bubba's and Grump's.

I wouldn't be surprised if the economy was not as big an influence as you might think (on numbers not gift amounts). Population density is a good call. More technology, and more use of it is a good call. I would like to add culture change. The youngers are different and have a different experience. Newb, this probably plays into your question as well.

No apologies necessary for the rant. It was food for thought. I hadn't really reflected on this. And as far as the slump, just get outta Baytown! (just kidding)

Happy Easter to all of you.

You have lots of ladies to choose from. There are some places where they have hardly have any ladies. Just saying. There are men out there who can only dream of complaining about finding ladies. Lol

Out of 900 okay maybe its 1000 ladies, there is somebody or maybe even a few ladies who will take good care of you.

There are still good providers out there. Some are right though, they don't post anymore, they tour or UTR.

Good luck . Have fun on the chase, it can be fun :-)

I started hobbying in the early 2000's and in my opinion the quality in terms of service and looks has appeared to be getting diluted. I remember providers of the day were Heather Hooter, Lauren Tate, Kandra, Claudia, Dakota Dare, Violet Star, Anna Anderson, Giddyup Casey, and Kimberly Kisses to name but a few of the many which have since slipped my mind. Maybe my tastes have changed as i have aged and i have grown to expect a certain level of service and quality which is escaping me now. Micah Lee/Rachel Lynn was the last of what i would consider an era gone by. Just my observation after looking at what is available on ECCIE showcases and reading how some other hobbyists are also getting somewhat frustrated with the hobby and leaving. My apologies for the rant but after a string of less than stellar experiences i was wondering what fellow hobbyists were finding. Maybe i am just in a slump?

I thinck the ladies now are at least just as accommodating and attractive as the yesteryear ladies.

The p had high member numbers because they pissed off so many people so they created different personas. I alone accounted for six different handles on the p. The ham handled moderating back then was ridiculous. Let us not forget the several pimp mods the p had where the local mod tried to control the hobby in his fiefdom. Oh yes, those were good days but I prefer to live in the present.
