Best Advice you've gotten about this world (for Him)

[atlcomedy]

Kinda of a mirror thread to LS's:

Guys, best advice you've ever gotten about this world?

Me:
1) Be careful. Trust your instincts. If it doesn't feel right exit yourself from the situation (even if you are out a little money). There is always tomorrow.

2) Respect the boundaries of the relationship. Don't fall in love with a provider. Also hold her accountable for adhering to the boundaries & cease further contact at the first sign she is unable to do that.

3) If you have a bad date or potential date, even if she was downright mean or tried to rip you off, try not to waste your time or energy getting angry about it. Learn from it, then move on. Almost by definition not all of your dates with meet your expecations. That is part of the game.

1. Research, research, research. But there isn't always data there.
2. (A variation of #1) Guys who don't write reviews are taking advantage of the rest of us. We need more reviews of bad dates, and be blunt.
3. Expect every date to be terrible. That way, when a good one comes along it will be a pleasant surprise.
4. The picture is always better than the person...including me.

Well, I'm not a guy but...
Lets see... best advise I have got, in this world...
I would have to say...
"learn to have, self discipline."

[Marcus Aurelius]

That could mean many things Nina. Would you narrow it down a little?

I mean afterall, if we had more self-discipline, a whole lotta providers would be out of business...

That is great advice for the escort as well. Letting a few bad experiences mess with your mind can eventually ruin your future time with other women , or in our case men.It is rare for me to have a bad experience , or in one situation I ended up getting robbed, but whatever the circumstances are it is so much better to just let it go. For every bad experience there are plenty of good ones, and it is so much healthier to focus on those.

I never received any advice. I had to learn it all the hard way.

Me:
Think of it as an adventure. The bad experiences are all part of the experience.
Only read reviews if you need a tour guide.
Only write reviews if you want to be a tour guide.

It is a business relationship.
If you are confused, ask for clarity.
Don’t ask or accept freebies. It will lead to confusion.
Emotional and mental boundaries are important, but for excitement play it close to the edge. Playing it close to the edge - for the reckless - will increase the likelihood of crashing and burning.

Love in the real world is unconditional.
Love in this world is conditional.

Always be aware of of your surroundings. Never be luled into a false sense of security.

This can keep you alive, inside or outside of the hobby.

atlcomedy, What about her vagina? Can I at least fall in love with a tight beautiful vagina?

Seriously this is where both parties get hurt by one of the parties taking advantage of the love component.

If people are giving you gifts that come with strings/expectations then run run run from any form of this so called love. They are just toying with you. People in love do not have regrets...they have learning experiences. They do not regret any gift they gave.

At this high end is where this coddling up to the line is marketed. This is where as a client , one needs to be very careful. It is marketed as ..."If you love me, you will take care of me."

That can be a great business partnership but it ain't love.

End of my little rant on BS.

#1 - If you are married or have a serious SO, protect your real identity with the fierceness of a lioness protecting her cubs. Have layer upon layer of identities between your hobby and your real life.

#2 - Never violate Rule #1

[MrGiz]

#1 - If you are a gambler who likes high risk with a relatively low rate of return .... go for the TGTBT Girls on Backpage or Craigslist. If you like lower risk with a higher rate of return.... go with the well reviewed girls from one of the proven review sites.

#2 - If you like 'em shaved.... she probably does too!

#3 - It never hurts to bring your own 3-pack!
