I was just about to say the exact same thing - while its good to be open and friendly and get into reasonable arguments on fourums, if you really want to be in this business a long time and more importantly have a quite life, good mental health and a good qualilty of life, then you have to keep a bit of yourself back ( if only for yourself and sanity ) and know when to stop posting
im often on the forums ( same one as you ) and i wont ever say what i really want to say not because i want to say anything bad about anyone or good or that i dont / do agree with whats being said, or that im asslicking or not ass licking or that im scared to post
But because i have seen the fall out of many girls who get into this bitch fest thing with clients on line and on forums both here and abroad and its only then when its all been said and done, that they the escort realise how vunereable they are
you wont be the first and you wont be the last to have gotton into this postion through fourums its the modern way of schoolground bullying
Sometime watching the post on certain fourums are like watching a train crash or a car accident you know you shouldnt look, you know you shouldnt read it , you know you should help the other person, but you just cant you keep on watching mouth open in amazment shock and bloody horror as it get to be a pile up with loads of dead bodies
The disadvantage of the forums are plain to see and they are not weighted in the escorts favour
The guys know everthing about you, its all out there on the net,
you know nothing about them other than what they want you to know, that means if i were a betting person, i would bet on them winning, by winning i mean, pulling the other person to pieces and ruining her mentally and financially even if only for a short time
I tend to stick to the safe posts or i try to have a balanced argument if i feel that i have to join in but i wont get into arguments even if i want to i just think that its not worth it i dont know these people so why waste a minute of my life arguing with them
The fourums, [a punting forum] inc can be a good and effective way of marketing yourself along with other websites even if you think that you dont want clients from there because of what they write about escort our clients have to come from somewhere and they arent all that bad
I have met up with quite a few from [a punting forum] who on the board come across as horrible and really really nasty but in real life when i have my strap on up there ass, they are nothing like that at all
i have been in this business for over 12 years and have never ever ever had any real problems, certainly none as horrible as you have had in such a short space of time .So it is possible to do (and i know many others the same as well who work and dont really get any problems)
im not trying to patronise you just trying to help - your a young girl who obviously good at your work, i can see that, but you dont want to be burnt out mentally with hatred of men within a year because of the abuse from these forums
its a case of keeping your head low ( but visiable) do good advertising keep working hard and methodically
and think once, think twice, before you post and push that button for internet fourums
i know they can be addictive but honestly they do you know favours if you do is get into arguments with the guys that are on there there are more than them than you they will just grind you down every day untill you feel like you do at the moment but only worse
Kylie,
I am familiar with you from lurking on another forum. I guess much of what you are talking about comes from there.
My advice is to stay away from punter led forums where the vitriol is spouted by few but is targeted and hurtful.
Just concentrate on providing a good service, keep your screening high and never blog on AW/AN other places about time wasters etc. I think, (and I am guessing), that portraying that you have been mucked about encourages other wierdos to do the same "for a laugh".
Good luck to you and chin up.
