I can concur...
This thing does get in the way, plus a few things to consider.
The rates are out of this world. One SP wants $300 for an PSE, plus you have to park at King & Yonge. Another asks for $220 and gives you a lame BBBJ plus a lame session. The never been seen before girl who asks for $300 - based on what? The asian B&S places. The drama, scams and money gone.
The attitude of booking an appointment and continually hearing of no shows. Then the opposite whereby an SP complains about a no show and they wonder why? In our case, it's the job, the kids, the boss, the meeting or life that put you in a situation where you can't make it. You would like to call and cancel, but maybe that conference call is still happening or something.
The days only a few years ago where you could see Zanna, Charlie, and a host of others. $200 was what a phenominal session got you. Ladies charged less until they had credibility.
Yes, there are goals we have and sometimes these things become nothing more than an unwelcome distraction. I hope he meets his goals. I hope he decides to stay away for the right reasons and if he returns maybe because its is for the right reasons and things have improved.
