We don't pay to get what we want. we pay to leave without strings or emotional obligation beyond professional friendship with providers and the establishment.
We?,....and as for the rest of the quote,.... that's really presumptuous, suggesting all these ladies, the agencies are sitting around trying to lasso you or anyone is just nonsense. Of course it does happens, and for many reasons but in spite of what/how you may think about, the "we",....did you ever consider you're being played?
I use the board differently, exactly the opposite of what you suggest.
For me the board is simply a directory, a vehicle for the chase, the ultimate goal not being the session/s but trying to build a rapport with, if appropriate, the lady, for the sole purpose of only seeing her/them OTC (off the clock, outside the spa). I treat them like girlfriends, go to dinner, over to my home, over to theirs, to the beach, etc. Examples would include Lisa (LH), still see her since meeting her 13 years ago, 2 ladies from the Elegant Asian days, 2 girls who still work but I haven't seen them where they work in over two years,.....for the most part, it doesn't cost me a nickel other then what one would spend with a wife or girlfriend. I prefer this for several reasons:
I have been taken down in spa's, actually twice.
I prefer more, want more, then an hour if the lady is what I'm looking for, so spas don't work after the initial or second visit.
I treat the ladies like human beings, kindly and caring and I'm rewarded accordingly plus when I see them, neither of us is worried about the door caving in.
If the person is seemingly what I could be interested in, I immediately try to get a phone number, because in these times, she'll be gone in 2 weeks, maybe a month. I'm still kicking myself over a Hillsborough lady I dropped the ball with, only worked for two weeks and like a fart in the wind,.....was gone.
This is my goal, and not for the obvious reasons we read on the board. As people come and go, and they do,... one long time friend married a Chinese businessman, they now live in China, another now living in Canada with an architectural furniture designer,... thus the reason for me to continue the hobby, for the reasons which work for me,... comfort is where you find it,.....and not one of them ever making mention of strings or obligations. It puzzles me that you would consider your perspective a "professional friendship", what does that mean? Be honest with yourself, what you suggest, your model is clearly defined,....you're spending time and money for sex, no reason to fashion it, color it, as friends, professional or otherwise.
I respect what you do and how you do it,...and leave it at that. No need to assume we all go about it the same way.
