Fact Check - your are a "commodity"
By definition - ' commodity is a marketable item produced to satisfy wants or needs.... Economic commodities comprise goods and
services.'

BTW, after the endurance test of reading your misguided novelette, I humbly suggest you look for another line of employment before you suffer from an existential crisis after your age makes it prohibitive to make a living as an SP.
Sincerely,
Jeff
Again, this is where we are going to disagree and this is where you use "simplification and honesty" to justify and de-value a person.
Yes - the SERVICES we provide can be consider a commodity but we as human beings are not considered a commodity. A lawyer is not a commodity, their service is. We are not a product, we provide a service.
Now if you want to go on about us being the product because that is what "guys are paying for", then again we are not the commodity as people, our pussies are. A part of a our body that again does not define us as a person.Those opinions are what lead to things like human trafficking and slave selling. Those "owners" feel that people are a commodity and buy and sell them like apples and oranges. They are not commodities either but the people who buy and sell them seems to share your opinion. I wonder if you truly share theirs or if some of this just hot air for the sake of shock posting.
See your comments are used to passive-aggressively hurt, insult and devalue most people that you post to. But in reality when presented like above, do you really feel that way? Do you truly believe that slaves, both child and adult should continue to be sold around the world? I don't think you do or at least I would hope not, so I don't understand why you insist on posting this type of thinking or this type of behaviour regarding
people as a commodity. Because that is the reality of what a person being used as a commodity actually is.
I understand you say your postings are not because you are jaded, but I can't fathom someone living with such negative thinking all the time. When the world holds no value to you... well let's just say life would be miserable for me. I will of course assume you will come back and report that your life is just peachy-keen, but you are just talking reality, but if that is YOUR reality then I do feel bad for you. That is not my reality and that is not the reality that think most have if I am being honest.
To each their own I guess. I will say that I think most, in this thread at least, would feel that you could easily be classified an example of the what the OP is talking about. That is not meant to insult, but maybe the masses have some valid points that you could open your mind to, instead of going on the negative attack track all the time.
Most likely I am just typing and wasting my time, but I would hope that something of value could come out of a conversation with you.
To both your points; I wouldn't consider discussing truth in advertising as derailing the thread at all. In my OP I used my recent experience as an example, and to be clear there was no misrepresentation on the part of the SP. I think the honest advertising is a key point to this example. I don't know if the client was a regular or not but I had the impression she had seen him before. In any event the client knew what he was signing up for. If he considered her "overweight" why was he even there other than to take advantage of an opportunity to be an asshole? From here on I think this specific SP can be removed from the discussion since the intended focus was on guys like this are dicks.
I think the way you described it is the way it happened. He was a person she has seen before and knew what he was getting into. Why some men/women behave the way they do, is beyond me. Why would they want to ruin their encounter? Why would someone want to purposely hurt someone else with needless negativity? In this case, he could just not go back. It is simple. I do hope this SP is not upset with the addition things said by some in this thread. And if I am being honest, I bet if people knew who she was, there would be a much different response. I do agree, this thread is not about her, and more about the client and we have tons of examples without needing to bring her directly into it anymore.
It has been said before and I agree. The boom of the internet world has made people behave worse. It started with the "right to post" and the right to "freedom of speech" which morphed into the "right to be an asshole". I think more and more people are speaking negatively to each other now because we have conditioned ourselves to it through a decade of negative postings having no real consequences to the poster. You couldn't call a woman a cunt back in the day without shit hitting the fan from both men and women. You could physically see the hurt and emotional pain words and comments made to a person. Then slowly it was less and less shocking when posted online by men and women became desensitize to it. Now it seems like regular everyday conversation for both sexes. I will never understand.
Some would argue that we are getting a thicker skin in some areas, but I would have to question if that is a good thing or not. Because I can handle being called fat, does that mean I should have to accept the insult being used against me all the time? Because it does not have the negative impact intended, does that negate the person's wrong doing for saying it?????
The questions I pounder on a Saturday morning with a cup of joe.......
I think you had it right in the title. Some guys are dicks. I would just add that some women are too. You know, for the sake of equality. Well that and the hell I and a client went through trying to obtain a reference request from a lady (Not yours in this thread) out here. Some women get pissy when having to share apparently but that is a topic for another thread. LOL :wink:
