sandimoon 72517 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 What I believe frustrates you (SPs in general, not yourself specifically) is that you think they actually want something more on the side, like you would do them a favor to close the deal or something. Which is generally not the case, not that they would refuse of course, but don't assume it is unless explicitly mentioned (and then you would have a reason to get mad as it would be disrespectful to you). I do understand it is frustrating, but welcome to every businesses world. I am glad I can now share this with SPs (just kidding) I missed this part. It honestly never occurred to me, grendall, until now since none of these guys ever proposed it. The timing, randomness & classless acts are our bones of contention. Trust me, some of the cheap S.O.B.s you mean have the bravado to just ask. These were on another site. Trade ServicesFit and Good looking handyman looking to trade services. (with female sp) Cabo for New Years?Want to spend New Years in Cabo? I have a junior suite timeshare at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx available from xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. It's located xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Unfortunately, I can't use it this year, but am willing to rent it out for $400 cash, or trade for fun with the right girl. For more details, ping me at xxxxxxxxxxxx Hobbyists also responded with laughter. Those we can pick out. Lol obviously. I actually have employed the trade option in the past so I am not averse to using it to my advantage. I have 2 photographers. One is free, he just enjoys photographing SPs. The other was trade. He was reluctant to propose it as to not offend me, he didn't, he freely gave me references & a link to his portfolio. I balanced an hour of my time with what I would get in return & felt it was worth it. It was & I have no regrets. If someone is upfront & respectful in approaching me, about anything, I will consider it. When the ladies are looking for drivers, they are looking for professional drivers, not someone who just has a driver's licence and car. And unwanted soliciting via pm's and emails, that isn't professional. If you are a professional driver, advertise. If the ladies are interested in hiring you, they will. But just having a car and driver's licence, well just about everyone has a licence and vehicle, that doesn't make you professional And on a final note, the closest I could envision providing driving services, as such, is if I had an encounter with a lady at my hotel, and it's ended I would offer and be willing to drive the lady (only if she is comfortable enough with this) back to her place be it hotel or home and save the cost of a cab. I do emphasize it would be an offer, no pressure, and no strings attached Another rambling RG When I had my car, I actually gave a ride home to one gentleman. lol But I knew & trusted him. And RG, simply based on your posts, I would never fear you. It's when Zippy the Wonder Twit pops into my phone out of the blue that I say.....Hmmmmmm? I find it quite astonishing that this is going on. I've said it before, I don't know how you ladies put up with all this BS and yet are still able to even tolerate the presence of men!! You all deserve a medal!! Porthos You are so sweet. They have pornstar awards, why not poonstar awards? I would love to see that trophy. Haha! I tend to take most silliness with a grain of salt until it becomes particularly bothersome. This was just one of those times. Truth be told, 4+ years & I have few problems & am grateful for the charmed albeit odd life I lead. Baffled but still happy! When that changes, I will take my leave. Until that day, BEST JOB EVER!!!

Andee 220524 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 Just for the record, it's not just "men" who are soliciting us, I have had women contacting me as well. I find it more of a nuisance than an insult. I chalk it up to misinformed and misguided would-be opportunists who see this new change as a chance to jump on the gravy train. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
