BugleBoy, rest assured I wasn't calling you out & did not have you in mind when I typed out my remark.
MadMilo, sometimes I wonder if the provider bashing isn't done with a strategic purpose.
On dating "game" sites (think Mystery Method), the technique is called "negging", and it's used as a way to keep women's allegedly runaway self-esteem from getting up into the clouds.
If providers aren't constantly reminded of their limitations, their flaws and their younger, more physically attractive competition (references to $300/night strippers and coed SBs,anyone? ) why, we'll just have this nightmare world where 300lb BBWs can charge $$$$ for 15min CBJs and attractive HWP women of all ages are simply priced out of reach for us poor middle class 'mongers.
I really do think that a subset of the board population sees themselves on a noble quest, and that putting the ladies down regularly is a necessary evil to ward off GPS, which is a side effect of WKs saying too many nice things in public & private about the ladies whose companionship they've enjoyed.
WTF ever. Like Milo & BugleBoy, I will praise & appreciate providers of all ages,shapes and sizes. (Unless they give me the "Radio Silence Brush-Off", then I'll be.. considerably less appreciative. Ireallyhatethatfriggin#$%#$%.

)
I only ask that they, in turn, judge us by the content of our character & not the circumference of our waistlines.
(Well, I suppose judging us by the content of our donation envelopes is OK too. This *IS* HobbyWorld after all.

)
