Be as honest as you care to be.....

I truly wish that I had known When I was single of the existence of the hobby world, the sites, the possibility of being with so many attractive women without the multiple dates and courting involved, being in love for one hour, and then go home happy!
I would have have so much fun!
Now that I am married is so hard dealing with having to hide it, time wise and financially as wife is a CPA financial planner, hence she manages the finances. So doing this when I was single and free to do what I pleased, would have been a life changer!

[WW-DEAR_JOHN]

I wish I knew about the middle ground of the hobby. From watching TV or movies, it seemed like there were either street or high call '******s'. I never 'played' with the street girls, and never payed more than $300 for a session. There is a huge world between the two and it's a world most of us are/were involved in.

I wish I knew how addicting it can be. From being a very shy guy who didn't have much game, when I put on my Dear John hat, it seemed I lost my shyness and came out of a shell. I guess my self esteem shot to the moon, however I was smart enough to know this was an illusion because I had a couple of C notes in my pocket.

I wish I knew how down to earth a lot of ladies were. IMHO they were still ladies that were really good people, they just made a living in another way that most ladies did. I tried never to be judgemental.....after all, I was a john.

I wish I knew that some ladies really get into the sex. You see a movie like Pretty Woman where one lady tells another never to kiss a client, so you go into the hobby kind of expecting that. How pleasant it was to discover some ladies like to be more romantic than others. These ladies were the ones I revisited on many occasions.

I guess I was very lucky. In all the sessions I had, I only had less than 5 horrible experiences, but had hundreds of great experiences. I had a chance to be as intimate as one could get with some truly attractive women, who at another place and time would never give me a second thought.

To the lovely Ms. Athena, this is as honest as I can be.

Everyone has a different idea of what GFE is
Everyone has a different idea of what PSE is
I need to get in good with a Latin agency
Do incalls instead of outcalls
Should of started hobbying sooner
Have your own stash of condoms just in case

[GeorgeDRII]

Let's see, when I started Hobbying 27 years ago...how many more great people I would meet and know as opposed to in the beginning.

All of the different possibilities of types of encounters with the ladies.

How I would be like some of the elder statesmen here, and lose track of the number of women I would have the joy of pleasuring.

I should of done this hobbyist thing sooner.....well, minus the fact. I’m not from Texas! Lol

[Anna Nikkole]

I wish from the beginning I would have stayed to myself, made my money and made it count. Making friends in this industry isn't for everyone. I would had never met the first provider. (Although I do see some great comments on the board, mixing rw isn't cool)

[Classysexxx]

I could have started charging 500hour along time ago..

1. How draining it could be.
2. The women(some not all) are jaded and think everything is a competition. So avoid making “friends” and always work 100% solo.
3. CLICKS! Lots of clicks, on both sides.
4. That the “popular” guys online are actually the lame and cheap guys. They prey on new girls and try to take advantage
5. Don’t trust a hobbyist lol this is my biggest one. I had to remember they’re professional liars who live having to act and pretend.
6. It’s ok to be outspoken and strong. Speaking out against certain things doesn’t make you “drama”. I was worried in the beginning(tip toed with my words and opinion) until I realized, a strong man will always appreciate the fact I speak my mind. Even when it goes against the norm.

You're number 4 is spot on!

[Anna Nikkole]

I would have been kind to board bully's like I am now. It took time to realize they just need love. Not everyone in the ****** world gets love.

However negative attention makes you both look like dumb asses. So giving sweet feedback is best. Always be the bigger and kinder person

[JessieJane]

... I wish I knew then how much I really enjoyed the company of older men.
When I switched up how I viewed people in the hobby, my life changed. Now I give a shit less about a dramatic provider, pennyless for a thought opinions laugh at the antics. Don't forget enjoying giving old men ball rubs great ball rubs making long term connections...

Life is great !

You get what you pay for most of the time

[RoboCock]

Wish I had realized earlier that "...if it flies, floats or fucks, rent it, don't own it."

I'd have a lot more $$$ in my net worth if I'd followed that philosophy!

[NordicJag]

that half of these guys are batshit crazy. The other half are sweethearts.

Yep and it goes both ways. I doubt if it's quite 50-50, but there's plenty of both. I've been blessed to have found so many more sweethearts.

[Drealman832]

I wish I knew that paying for pussy with money was cheaper than paying for pussy with time.

[Ms.Athena]

Some of the responses I expected. But wow some I didnt. It is awsumn to read your personal thoughts. Thank you and keep them coming
