This site has toughened me up a bit.
For maybe 12 years I've been a bit fluffy. Turned down for promised services, rushed out after 1 pop, even getting attached a few times etc. I'm a lot more demanding since joining this site 6 months ago though.
I thought I was being a nice guy, but in reality I think I was just an easy customer and a bit of a mug.
I thought I was building friendships with some of these girls, but that's a bit of an illusion when you don't even know their name! I have one girl I've seen over 20 times but she still won't reply to a text if it's not to make a booking. Great friend there!
I also never really valued the money, thinking ah well it's only £100 quid or whatever. Nowadays I realise that it's actually a decent amount and it's actually a bit of a pisstake to lie about services in order to basically steal from you.
So nowadays I do my research more carefully, am a bit more demanding, and a bit less afraid of walking or confrontation.
