Members Lucky Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Last night I felt that my answer was incomplete, and now, having slept on it, I realize I wanted to stay away from thee tangents of my pet peeves and just answer Lookin's question directly. He asks: If we like our own little idiosyncracies to be indulged, why shouldn't we indulge those of others? And the answer is an unequivocal yes. We want new posters, we enjoy fresh points of view to keep the forums charged, and we can indulge little idiosyncracies. Some folks just need time to adjust to the board, and sometimes the board needs time to adjust to the individual. We shouldn't give up on anyone unless and until it is clear that a match just cannot be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anton Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hey guys, So is this the first response from an escort in this thread? Wel, if I'm right then it's the second, but maybe that illustrates the lack of participation on this board. Because I really think that if you want vivid discussions, there are a number of things you need. One of them is sufficient input from clients as well as escorts. I think it's the latter that's missing. Somehow this board doesn't seem to be attracting escort. Does anyone have an impression why? (I do, but for a change I rather wait for the responses.) Sincerely, Anton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members manticore Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 This site's forums are less inviting than they could be. I'm referring to how a login is required to view images in forum postings. The 'keep me logged in for 2 weeks' option does not work when I try it. People will always view more than they post, and if viewing is a hassle then they may not stick around long enough to post. If you want participation, why are you hiding the images?

Guest EXPAT Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I suspect the images being required by login is probably saving the website owners from potential legal problems in keeping under age people from viewing the pics. I would suspect that is the reason and frankly that is a good reason. Why the login doesn't stay on is another problem that I can't explain.

TotallyOz Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Normally, I try to read and respond to all posts but on my return trip from Thailand 10 days ago, I got seafood poisoning and had to go to the hospital and spend several miserable days traveling. I have just settled down for a long winter's nap in LA. I don't know why escorts don't post here. My feeling is that many that post actively on other escort sites have had reviews denied on this site and they got pissed off. I know of one major escort poster who was pissed we left up a negative review and doesn't want to post. Are there other reasons? As far as something few know, most know I owned an escort agency for many years in NYC. Before that, I too threw sex parties in the city. They were safe sex parties for under 35 and fairly expensive to attend. We started out with only about 15-20 but then ended up with over 40-50 at every event. I loved them as I loved watching sex. The BF back then participated and I worked the door. However, the one time I did met a boy I liked (cute Asian boy) he flipped out. LOL We started the parties for fun and not to make money. By the time we spent hours getting the apartment ready and taking it down and then buying all the refreshments and condoms and lube, we made no money. It was fun as hell. And, many of the boys that came to those parties ended up working for me when I started the escort service. In fact, one boy who was 18 at the time came to the party early to audition and ended up living with us for a few months and then he was the biggest earner in the service for a long time.

Members MsGuy Posted October 2, 2011 Members Share Posted October 2, 2011 LOL...And now we know the backstory on how OZ went from pre-ministerial studies and the Fear No Evil Holiness Church of Backwash Springs, Alabama, to business agent for the largest stable of boys in NYC.

Guest hitoallusa Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Escorts need to protect their image so I perfectly understand why they don't participate. I don't think a lot of escorts participate on the other site either. Gotten between two escorts attacking and accusing each other? If you have experienced one of those unpleasant circumstances then you will understand why they can't participate. I'm not here for business but all the accusations and assault I had to endure were sometimes too much. I bet it's more tougher for escorts. They come and read and they get help from the forum too so all your efforts are appreciated and contributing to our community. The most rewarding thing is that smart escorts weigh pros and cons of the business and figure out what's the best for them. Some are extremely smart and find something they value and enrich their lives with their experiences. When I see that I feel happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted October 2, 2011 Members Share Posted October 2, 2011 Escorts need to protect their image so I perfectly understand why they don't participate. I don't think a lot of escorts participate on the other site either. I agree. Unfortunately, posting for most escorts, IMO, is a no win proposition. All too frequently in the past, escorts have been drawn into minor controversies either by an irate client wannabe or maybe another escort posting under an anonymous non de plume or just by someone with a different opinion. It can easily get out of hand. Eventually someone always manages to lob a broadside at an escort who hangs around for long. But escorts have reputations and a business to hurt whereas other posters do not. Some posters take advantage of that to take a piece out of a working guy. I don't know why. I cannot explain the phenomenon. Escort posters that successfully navigate the treacherous waters are usually bit more mature and possess a good sense of humor to disarm potentially inflammatory situations. Some cultivate a coven of supporters that help them weather attacks on the site. Other who don't have an organized following tend to limit their participation to an occasional basis to keep themselves from becoming a target. In my observations over the years, the most successful long term high profile escort posters usually receive some sort of sympathetic support from site management. That may extend to some behind the scenes mediation with troublesome parties or more. Few escorts hang around for long taking continuing grief and flaming from other posters although some few do come to mind. Eventually they leave too or scale way back their appearances. So particpating is a bit of a high wire act for escorts with potential benefits and pitfalls. They put their business on the line and their income too when they do it. It is not surpising that most do not see an ovewhelming upside to posting on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gcursor Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yes...I'm saddened often by posts that Oz made and then how some other poster said sometimes posters will lob comments anonymously at other escorts. IMO (that's in my opinion so keep that in mind) So much of everything on the sites and the get-togethers and everything else is based on posturing, status and other things. When I started out on the boards as a small fish, I often felt there was no room for me. Now that I'm a slightly bigger fish, I realize the other fish have gotten even bigger. Eventually you realize it's a losing battle. As I said, Im saddened about how people are cruel to each other on the boards or how escorts might not want to be fair and equitable (dont put up the negative review) across the board. I think that in the end this all hurts us as a person. However typically people are too short-sighted in their own lives and wants to think about any of that until it's way way too late. All I can say is that I believe things happen for a reason and I partially believe in karma. I think that people who do dishonest things or lead dishonest lives will eventually have things catch up with them. Oh sure, they'll have lots of fun getting to that point but it's still gonna hurt pretty bad when the karma comes back and hits them in the face. I don't feel that there will ever be a totally perfect system of course. People are people. At their base instincts, they are selfish and will cheat on taxes, buy a paper to submit for a college thesis or a myriad of other things. It doesn't mean that we're all bad all the time because typically we may mellow with age. What it does mean is that you have to understand and look at why people do what they do and keep their desires/loves/hates/motivations in mind to get along in life.

Guest gcursor Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 and I notice how people are sharing their "stories" with everybody else which is cool and very hot!! I think one of the reasons I started seeing escorts again is because I have no exciting stories from all my life like that. So I've been trying to see some people here and there hoping that maybe I'll get lucky just one time to take home a story that I can think about and use to impress other people Everybody else talks about how they did this, or that or all of those things at once while juggling and whistling SHE'S A GRAND OLE FLAG. But for me, nothing really much to date so far. That's one of the things I hope to do before I die is to have one great sex story that I can tell people that I did! gc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC, it's all a matter of that 'open and honest' communication everybody's always going on about here. Just pick a 5 star escort like Anton and tell him you what you're looking for! And if it's all a little too awkward to talk about face to face, point him to this thread and tell him to use his imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's often enough to get my attention. I mean how do you break your dick? Sudden lateral thrust applied while fully extended seems to be the most common circumstance. and is it covered by some type of warranty? ---- Confession: I had intended to slip a couple of pics into this post but honestly, they're just too gruesome to spring on our innocent readers.

Members lookin Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 Seems a surefire way to get participation, as the OP asked, is to start a thread on how to get participation. It draws folks in like bears to honey. As a public service, I'm sure, MsGuy has now schooled us on how to lose participation. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my room poking my eyes out.

Guest gcursor Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 OH! Heres a true story and I am telling you guys this because I know that it will make me look all that much sexier to all of you. When I was younger (for some years), I had to wear an eyepatch in addition to glasses that I was wearing. It was to take care of an eye problem that I had (remember this was some years back before LASIK and all that). Finally they ended up going in and clipping a nerve in my eye to fix the "problem". After that, I no longer had to wear the glasses and the eyepatch I quickly discovered. Of course now that I am older, I am once again wearing glasses again and probably eventually will be wearing the eyepatch again as well.
