it's interesting how many parallels there are to the clients-only groups. however, one difference is that the escorts-only groups do not aid and abet violence against clients. then again, maybe they do?
I peeked at the Los Angeles private girls board and all they did was list the names and personal info of their BEST clients in hopes of scaring the other girls away from seeing them if contacted. I saw the personal info of several of my better clients and it churned my stomach to know this was going on....
this is not unusual in the world of finance. it is what Charles Keating of Lincoln Savings and Loan claimed (to greatly oversimplify his story). the federal courts provided a certain degree of vindication for his position.
but, at least the escorts are trying to keep the clients for themselves -- rather than destroy them, as is done on wall street. something along these lines happened to Ross Perot. a number of wall street firms convinced him to put up money to save Dupont {the investment firm, not the chemical company}, and promised him to give the firm 'breathing room' if he did. as soon as Perot sank his own money into proping up Dupont, the same firms organized a 'bear raid' to send Dupont under, and then pocketed the assets (ie, the money Perot had just put up). Joseph P. Kennedy, later the first head of the SEC, was famous for this kind of maneuver.
... I have clearly listed on my site "Do not talk to me about other escorts and do not talk about me to them"
when i read that, i thought to myself: ~wow -- my kind of woman!~
... and I also refuse to accept or give referrals out to other escorts. The point is I don't want contact with them .... {I} instead rely on my own screening process and my gut instinct.
i am the same way. i try to avoid reading reviews. whether sincere or not, i don't find them helpful.
in the social sciences, there is a term, 'field dependence'. it is a measure of how much people are influenced by the opinions, perceptions, etc, of others around them. a famous advertising campaign had just three words: "It's a Sony." the more field dependent the person, the more those three words would suffice to determine his or her purchasing decision.
some people, by contrast, are relatively field independent. while it is true that "no {one} is an island", still, some of us are less influenced than others by what books, movies, tv shows, museum exhibits, etc, are the biggest bestsellers. some prefer, for example, independent foreign films. (hmmm)
but, there is also 'negative field dependence'. that is the people who won't go to
any hollywood films, or watch
any television, etc. i think these may be the unhappiest people of all.
so, i decide on an escort based upon her pictures (i admit it
), the way her site is presented, and what she posts on the boards. what is most important is the implicit 'attitude' expressed by each of these three sources of data about an escort.
what seems clear to me from
your 'net presentation is that you are a woman of character and independence who shows the respect for others that she expects from them.
