Drama? / Entertainment? / Information? / Controversy? / Silent Majority? / Vocal Minority? / Just what drives Board Traffic?

Note: the backhand from this reply comes separate from the complements.

And to contradict what I said on another thread earlier today: I do like the nicer threads, but I cant lie and say these drama-filled threads are not entertaining.

I own my own business and sit at a desk a good part of the day with time on my hands... But I did spend the last three days with a couple of new ladies and they kept me rather busy....

Thanks for acknowledging the reality of what a lot of folks know about threads on these boards.... Entertainment has a value!

Thanks... I mean that....



I occasionally peruse the vitriol-spewing sort of threads that have been so popular lately, but I just don't think it's a worthwhile way to spend my time. I have a limited number of hours in each day and a limited number of days in this precious life. Getting into it over petty issues with strangers on the internet is not how everyone wants to invest themselves. I don't think it makes you an apathetic hobbyist or provider, it just means you think it is more worthwhile to invest your free time and your energy elsewhere.

Some Ladies are not smart enough to avoid the daily posting and generating of controversy that their posts result in. They lose busy, whine and complain, lose more business, whine and complain more, ask how to fix it, whine and complain about the answers..etc..etc..etc.... You are obviously one of the smarter ones that utilize the board and participate to the extent needed to maintain your business and keep busy enough to not need what they are looking for. You are well thought of and post just enough to generate interest and curiosity that can't be filled on the board so guys have to reach out to you in another manner.
KUDOS!

If I had it my way, mods would ban members for excessive use of emoticons, for capitalizing common nouns, for using all-caps for more than a single sentence (and preferably only for the sake of irony), for abusing the exclamation point and for using up posting space to excitedly proclaim that so-and-so has posted underneath and/or on top of their post. That shit drives me bananas. Fortunately for the community, this is not a place that caters to the opinions and desires of a single individual.

Well... If you want to start a movement on some of those subjects I'll climb on your bandwagon.... I hate all that inane crap as well!


I'm all for healthy debate and for the free exchange of ideas, but I am interested in the hobby purely for the rewarding, fun and pleasurable aspects it adds to my life. I am definitely not unique in that attitude and I believe there's nothing wrong (and in fact think there is everything right) with choosing not to engage in discussions that turn ugly or simply don't interest me.

Nothing wrong with that! There are very obviously solid reasons why you are the favorite of a good buddy of mine.

I guess it is a good thing then that what drives most folks here are the review forums and information presented

Just wondering...

Not when it's mine!

Sorry. I disagree.... It is not my fault when a business owner chooses to percieve my assessment of a particular business practice in a manner that their "feelings" are hurt"

IMO... They need to get out of the business and off of a review site if they can't deal with that.

I just want to say... "Come on. It seems everybody is looking for a way to be insulted. People need to get a thicker skin and not whine and cry that somebody hurt their feelings. There is way to many people that want to play the victim card every fucking chance they get. Get over it and move on.

For some reasons they are ignoring my emails and PMs on that very subject!

I think some posters get read all the time... Hence traffic and view counts.

I watched it..... I think your assessment is fairly accurate....

We all complain about the negative and hostile demeanor of the very threads which are clearly getting the vast majority of our views and responses. There is a reason.

Yup!....

People apparently are Far more interested in the entertainment value of Negative Drama than in Positive Solutions or feel good threads. The numbers don't lie.

Yup!....


"Man kills family" gets way more news coverage and public interest than "Man donates to a good cause thus saving many lives."

Lindsey Lohen and Paris Hilton BS produces a great deal more internet buzz than some celebrity fighting famine and poverty.

Welcome to the human race. If it is a race then one has to wonder who's winning?

I would say the owners of ECCIE as well as the many new members finding their way here for the tremendous amount of information available as a result of the freedom to share information we have as well as the entertainment the board offers.

Ok.. I started to respond in a single long post but the cutting and pasting took too much effort and I need to head to Sugars....

Sorry for 12 posts but I always feel that those that take the time to respond to something I wrote deserve a reply.

Plus I am chasing my buddy dearhunter who has finally made the Top Poster list....

I think business has slipped over the years for most people, including you who claimed that your very important position with the Central Intelligence Agency was monetarily cut by a whopping 40 percent...but since you asked...I have been doing pretty well lately considering how clubs don't generate the revenue they did 10 or more years ago...and I guess some of that income could be a direct result of your obsession with me, giggle.

That said, last Tuesday I made over $800 at the Landing Strip...not bad for a 44 year old MILF!

[Anonymous170]

Only 900? And your proud of that? Strive for more! Try to get 1g next time most girls should be able to do that I think.

The chains are real darlin... The only thing "cheap" I adorn myself with are those admirers that so love to stir it up on line....

Your confusing Posters now darlin.... I'm in Sales and Marketing and used to be in the Club Business... There is another guy around here on that CIA bandwagon.....

but since you asked...

I commented darlin... I didn't ask..... Maybe with all that cash you are raking in you can spend a little learning the difference....you really should round yourself out a little more.....

I have been doing pretty well lately considering how clubs don't generate the revenue they did 10 or more years ago. That said, last Tuesday I made $900 at the Landing Strip and have been averaging no less than $1,500 a week (which is a big help paying my $2,500 monthly hotel bill)...not bad for a 44 year old MILF!

Excellent! I've always given you credit for being able to separate a sucker from his cash..... There has never been a question that you know how to work the Lonely and Attention Needy and leave them wanting more.....

$6,000+ a month? WOW! You certainly are doing great.... If you are not paying taxes on it that's the equivalent of about $100k a year! You should certainly be proud.

You are certainly the exception to the rule when it comes to gals in the clubs as most I know are struggling to take home $500-$600 a week which still is not all that bad if they aren't reporting it.

You should probably steer clear of all this negativity and give some pointers to some of the local ladies that are struggling....$1500 a week avg at the Landing Strip by a 44yo is nothing to look down on in this economy.......

I'll suggest some of the struggling young ladies I know head on down there and give it a try... At least the ones that I'm not interested in seeing outside the clubs.... They would have no reason if they were raking that kind of cash to spend any time with an old round fella like me.....

On another note.... $2500 a month on a Hotel?... Damn... You really need to take a look at the local Real Estate market and find you a deal on a foreclosure..... You are throwing away some serious cash....

She edited her original post where she claimed a $1500 avg

But I was in the process of a quote of it so it's in the one I just posted....

[Codybeast]

Whether $900 or the revised $800 in one night at forty-four in This economy? Dang That did it! I'm going downtown, borrowing one of Leslie's bikini's and reinventing myself as Bambi. One question. Do I absolutely Have to shave my legs? What I Won't do though is post all that future cash income on a public site. Ya just Never know.
