I meant that relative to Company of Men(CON) users, a randomly chosen member of the entire RM population is going to be likelier to be flaky/duplicitous than them.

 

This doesn’t equate to the statement “the average person is potentially a flake”.  It is just saying that a randomly chosen member of the entire RM population is likelier to be a flake/scammer than a COM member.

 

Yes, feel free to keep asking for deposits love.

I was simply quoting what you said. It’s fine if you decided to double-back and edit what you meant, but regardless of how you sweet n low or Splenda it up: You can’t get miffed because I agreed with what YOU said 🤷🏾‍♂️ Yes the numbers will show that the average and majority on RM are flakes and regardless of which side it is, browser or advertiser: we both have to do things to protect their time. However, it’s never going to carry the same weight. 

I’m not really here to say how clients should do that. I’m just making suggestion as it pertains to this topic of deposits.

The anger we feel when providers request a deposit should be directed towards irresponsible clients who book appointments without any intention of showing up. Before the advent of burner phone apps, clients were more concerned about their reputation.

They're losers, they have nothing else to do but to bother you and others because they can't afford hiring!

and for that reason I'm out. Go the gym, go release your negativity and combative nature.  Find something, at least one thing you're grateful for, meditate on it, post something here that's positive, share with us something good. I don't agree with you on basically everything but that doesn't mean I don't want you to eat. 

Sir by all due respect: there is no negativity or combative nature. I stated my points in this thread in a factual manner.

My issue is, every time I discuss something that you find different than how YOU think or believe advertisers/sex workers should operate: you have to then make some flippant comment, or talk about how it’s whining and complaining; and that’s disrespectful. Because when you minimize someone’s experiences and discussions, and then try to poke fun: that makes you look no better. 
 

Instead of telling me what I need to do outside of the forum, why don’t you start speaking to me with some respect and credibility? Acknowledge my experiences and challenges, instead of just acting like I’m some starving artist who has no experience and knows about anything except whining and complaining? Let’s start there. Then if you actually have something positive to recommend to me, you would go out of your way, and meet or speak to me privately: not on a forum where you can earn clout.

My position on deposits has changed over the years. Now I am willing to send a small token to a well reviewed provider or someone that’s trusted here to earn their trust back. I won’t do it for a password to a gallery though. Some of the people here have changed my perspective.
