Why don't more SPs post?

[letsn0twastetime]

Wow so many posts, in such a short time, I didn't know this would cause such an interesting debate. Well I think it's obvious I am on the side of more SP participation. I wouldn't see it as self promotion but that's just me. And as for those SPs who had bad experiences on here, or trolls going after them, I'm really sorry about that but this review board probably more than other places in real life, open one's self up for scrutiny which can be hard since its so personal.

With regards to SPs, doing this as a job and then being turned off by reading more on here about their industry? well I can understand both points of view, especially those just doing it for the money. But I wasn't speaking about the review sections, I was more thinking about the lounge where they could share things such as likes and dislikes.

Does 'humanizing' the SP remove the mystic about them or on the flip side would it to the overall GFE fantasy since the clients would now that much more about them?

SPs post on Terb for essentially the same reason men do - it's fun. :hippie: There can be ulterior motives in some cases (and I'm usually pretty good at recognizing those as I think most others are as well). If a guy posts a lot nobody questions his motives. I like to pun or give my opinions on certain topics...nothing more, nothing less.

If I had to write a guidebook for SPs on how to post, I would probably include the following:

-- Have a sense of humour.
-- Say something that goes beyond posting your hours of availability (although blatant self-promotion can be fine if done right -- usually with a sense of humour, or through something clever).
-- Avoid nasty threads that are clearly going downhill.

Looking at the current situation, I would say Alona M. and Sweet Petite Jessica are two ladies who know the right way to post. They engage in the discussions and let you know about their personalities without ruffling feathers. (And, no, I'm not shilling -- I've never met either one).

Also, you can't spend too much time second-guessing how people might respond.

Last summer, I got into a debate with an SP (she may not welcome this publicity, so I won't name her). If I was reading her comments correctly, she thinks I'm an idiot.

So how did I respond?

Well, I liked her signature pics, and I did enjoy reading her posts. And I kept a watch on her reviews. Now, she's at the top of my TDL.

You just never know.

Post #13 is a good example of what turns an SP off. Totally unnecessary.

wow ... cause you obviously know an aweful lot about it from our perspective .... nothing of what you said is true ... my clients don't toss me around, they aren't gorillas and certainly not social misfits. I look forward to coming back to work ....these few days off is more likely to drive me nuts to be honest!! But thanks again for pretending you have a clue and for speaking for us ....

You're a middle-aged woman that works as an SP to pay your rent. Your input can hardly be trusted.

Post #51 in this thread is another good example.

What the heck, I'll play -- "trusted" to do what?

SPs are often best seen, not heard. Do you think you're missing out on great wisdom because SPs rarely post? SPs are usually one of several things: 1) students paying their way through school. They will go on to great careers and once in power and married will come down hard on the profession of prostitution 2) broke women that need extra cash 3) psychologically unstable (may or may not be addicted to drugs) who have no other skills to earn money.

You are no gentleman...she's a lady and should be treated as such...

You didn't answer my question, Mr. Long-ass Name -- "trusted" to do what?

If you're suggesting I can't take everything that's posted on TERB as the gospel truth, well sure ... but that applies to everything posted on forums like this, from men and women alike.

Your comment is nasty, but that's all it is. Insightful, it ain't.

It's pretty simple. It means her public opinion about her clients can't be trusted. If you depend on people for your bread and butter, and those people are disgusting, you'll pretend to love them anyway because you need your rent paid. The truth will turn them away and your rent won't get paid.

You're late to the game on this one. Mrs. Loki has already made that point -- more diplomatically, in fact.

I'll repeat my point. When it comes to factual accuracy, you shouldn't take anything you read on TERB as the gospel truth. Why, I've even heard some SPs aren't completely honest about their age.

However, SPs who contribute to the board can still be part of the discussions. Like the OP, I use the comments posted to learn more about the SP's personality. I don't worry about the literal accuracy of everything that gets said in an underground hobby.

Posting too often can be misconstrued as pure "marketing tactics" and I have even seen some SPs blatantly tell other SPs that they "must be enjoying the free advertising" when they comment.

Your colleagues' criticisms are silly. Of course it's part of your marketing of yourself -- so what?

Although some of you are kind enough to enjoy reading through my posts (versus just staring at pictures!).....

Well, if you're looking for comments that can be "trusted," I have to admit ... I mostly stare at the pictures.

I think you're correct, there is a degree of pretending involved sometimes so we can't take their word completely about their clients.

But we should welcome and encourage them to post about everything else in the world, we can learn a lot from women and their experiences. They can civilize our lives and add warmth where it's often a cold and lonely place.
