There was a discussion in the Centereach AMP thread which was going off-topic, but I thought that it deserved to take place. There was a bit of back and forth going on about the way providers are being described on these boards, and whether or not they are deserving of a little more respect than some mongers seem to be giving them here.
I, for one, completely agree with what Genius has said here, as I usually do; he certainly seems to deserve his username! I know that the women reviewed here are literally putting themselves on the market, and they should be fully prepared for sometimes brutally honest reviews of their product/services; however, we, as gentlemen, have the responsibility to always treat these ladies with respect, both in person and in our reviews. Yes, they are engaging in an occupation which is looked down upon by society at large, but individually, they are still human beings who have feelings. There is no need to be hurtful or disrespectful in our dealings with them.
Anyway, I thought that it would be beneficial to open up a dialogue regarding this issue.
Agreed. Remarks like that do not convey any useful info and are so mean spirited I question whether or not the posters have any sort of decent relationships outside of mongering.
That said, statements such as 30 lbs overweight, comments on teeth or breath, body odor, etc., can be legitimate opinions that may convey useful info to help mongers decide if that provider is someone they may want to see; they are not mean spirited — just observations, some of which the provider can benefit from to increase their client base or pricing (cleanliness, odor — things they can change with a little effort) and some of which they can't (immediately anyway such as very overweight, acne, etc). If a providers feelings get hurt — well that the way things are when you are selling your body — people comment on your product.
I don't see what your point is as they are the ones with the $'s. Also, WADR, you may be falling into the same mean spirited trap in calling them disgusting animals for some things they may not be able to change e.g., canes, limps.
