Yes, sir, I'll be glad to help you redeem your frequent flier miles.

No, I'm sorry, that date is during a blackout period.

Yes sir, that day is fine. Let me see. OH, I'm sorry, sir, there are no frequent flier seats available on that flight.

Thank you for your business. We appreciate you choosing Escort Airlines. Please call again soon."

Exactly, or I would've married one of those women who "loved" me.

I don't see anyway I'd come out of a deal like that feeling like it was worth it. But more power to ya, ladies. If you can find a chump... er, patron... willing to cough up that kinda cheddar to hit the same piece, I say go for it.

My dad taught me an important lesson: If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

All I was saying is that I wouldn't rule it out. It would depend.

Hypothetically, blowpop lets say that lrr offered you this deal.
For whatever the reason, she's limiting herself to 3 or 4 friends
simply to cover her $1100 rent? ($367/$275 ea)
As one of these friends you're able to see her 2 maybe 3 times a month.

Are you saying there is absolutely no freaking way you'd even consider doing anything like that?

I think it is possible for something like this to work but it would require a perfect storm type situation where everything just lined up.

there are some providers who are very professional and could do an arrangement like this but the guy would also have to be a very professional and well adjusted but more than likely it would just blow up and be a big dramatic headache.

[selot]

Never again in a MILLION years will I do something like this.... It turns in to a horrible situation.

Pay AS I COME is my Motto now!!!

[ANONONE]

All joking aside. . .

This. . .



. . .is a powerful tool. In some ways it offers you more protection than a condom.

Not to be melodramatic, but attempting a tryst with a provider without sticking to the white envelope can be as hazardous as going bareback. It gives all parties involved the emotional buffer they need.

I know I was loading on the sarcasm a few posts ago, but honestly I have made this mistake before. It was a very painful lesson.

I would take no pleasure in being around a few weeks or months later and giving you a smug "told you so." It will end sadly. Having been there, I know why you are tempted to do it. If I could go back in time I would try to reverse what I did. Since that is not possible, the best I can do is warn gents from making the same mistake.

Sofa, not attacking you, but playing devil's advocate here is really not a good idea.

You might as well be helping pour a half gallon of whiskey in a beer bong for a guy and then tossing him the car keys after he gulped the last drop and telling him not to worry about that pesky seat belt.

LADY'S..LADY'S..
Quit the hating..I think with c-sun's recent reviews, he would get more bang for his buck by going ahead with it than with any of "you"...at least his sessions are never interupted by that "time of the month" problem!!!

[bigbadbill969]

68 posts and not even 1 hobbiest has claimed to have had this type of arrangement work for him......Bill

ANONONE, why are you allowing emotions and feelings to come into play? This isn't a freaking BF/GF thing, it's a professional relationship and should be treated as such.

If you're not able to keep your feelings in-check and stay well within the boundaries --as you're supposed to do with ANY provider--then hell yes you're setting yourself up for a painful fall and deservedly so.

This is only different because it's 'pre-paid'; but it is still a P4P business relationship.

Granted, it's not the most ideal scenario being that it's pre-paid, along with the cards stacked against you, etc. and only in extremely limited instances would this work-out. But it CAN work out. The perfect storm analogy was dead-on.

I would never take the firm stance to say unequivocally, "No. I'd never consider it", because I would. More often than not, I'd pass...however, should the planets line-up just right a very mutually beneficial arrangement can be cultivated.

You can backpedal all you want, but your tone seemed a bit reckless. It was like you were trying to give this poor bloke bad advice so you could sit back and watch a train wreck.

We are supposed to look out for each other, not set up a pratfall.

The emotion risk is just one danger here. Ask any guy above that eluded to making this mistake and they will tell you stuff that will make your manhood shrivel over what started as just helping a gal make rent.

[SofaKingFun]

I'm not back peddling at all. I have not once waivered from my original position nor am I doing so now.

Again, as I've said all along, I would not rule it out. It would depend.

In keeping with the "looking out for one another" line of thought.
-It's not an ideal scenario. The cards are stacked against you. Only in very limited situations can it work out.

Should a situation such as this present itself, Yes, I would consider it. I will weigh the pros and cons and act accordingly. I am a big boy so if I get burned, it's my own doing because I was aware of the risks. If you've got an aversion to the risk, it's probably best for you to pass.

MOST IMPORTANTLY~~> In ANY provider/hobbyist interaction, keep the relationship a professional, business relationship. DO NOT allow your feelings to come into play. Keep well within ALL boundaries. This lessens the likelihood of "painful lessons".

There. Did I cover everything?

Not really. There seems to be one big gaping hole:

Find me a gent that did the "rent party tango" and it worked out for him and he came out happy and unscathed.

[nebtex1]

Sounds like sugar daddy territory ... that is a whole different senario from basic hobbying ... a lot more involvment. If that's your thing ... go for it, but know what you are getting into.

Direct Deposit from your checking account. Of course you'll have to feel very comfortable with said provider. Tried and tested over time.
