Daniel17 3616 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 Hey all, I just wanted to say goodbye to everybody here. Long story short, I've met a wonderful girl thru some friends of mine, and the last thing I would want to do is jeopardize this new relationship. I not only wanted to say goodbye, I just wanted to say thank you all in that you have shown, taught, and just gave me on not just the whole escort scene, but a wide variety of topics around the world. You guys have taught me that seeing an escort isn't something mechanical. I thought the whole concept of escorts was more like a science, but in reality it's more like an art. It's not as simple as a+b = c (aka man pays money, escort pleases man = fun times). In reality, it's not just a + b, but there's countless variables like x, y, z (chemistry, respect, trust, etc.). The point of contact from the initial phone call to that final kiss/hug goodbye is never a simple linear line. It can be full of zigs, zags, and all that's in between. I've learned from this, not only in regards to escorts, but in regards to life. Planned things/events are over-rated (much like New Years Eve), and sometimes it's best to just fly by the seat of your pants, and embrace randomness. Sometimes the unknown will be better then our own wildest imagination. Originally I thought all guys who paid for escorts who sick, pedophiles, creeps, degenerates, (insert hurtful name here), but in reality it couldn't be further from the truth. After meeting a few of the guys at the social, talking to a few in chat, discussing topics in threads, I became like Tony Hawk (pro skateboarder, lol), and did a complete 180 on the portrait of a man who orders escorts. I've learned that the guys can be respectful, funny, educated, and really are just nice genuine guys. Same with the girls, I admit when I went into it with the false impression that escorts were druggies, dumb, emotionless, (insert more hurtful names here). In reality again, it was the complete opposite. Most escorts I've met are actually healthier then most of my active friends. I've yet to meet an escort that even smokes, or even have a puff of marijuana. The girls here do yoga, run on the canal, bike rides, you name it. They also are all very well educated girls with university degrees. Bachelors, masters, PHD, you name it. The girls here too have emotions just like any other girl, they aren't mindless robots. They are beautiful, smart, intelligent, and independent women. One thing too I've learned is about the CERB boards. Originally I thought the "coolest" people were the people who had the most reputation points, the most posts, or a silly members choice banner next to their name, when in reality, that has absolutely nothing to do with it. First off, I don't think anybody is cooler then anybody, because it's such a subjective term. I respect the person who might have a different opinion the me, but respects my opinion, and is willing to see things from a different perspective, and not just dismiss my views because it contrasts with theirs. I also respect the person who might not write everyday in the general discussion area, because he/she doesn't want to write about what colour socks they are wearing that day, but is willing to just write on my wall, a simple hello. The point is, respect isn't something that can be obtained thru posts or awards, but is something that can be earned in countless different undefined avenues. Originally the point of this post was to say goodbye, but I think it should be more about thank you. You have all taught me so much. I just wanted to say thank you. You are all wonderful people, and I'll think about all of you anytime I see crayons in the crayon box :) Goodbye CERB, and THANK YOU! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soleil Sublime 38108 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 It's nice to read that you really grew while being a part of cerb. I applaud you for having enough of an open mind to allow others to dispel many of your preconceived judgments about hobbyests and escorts. Live well Daniel. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
