I agree with Shooter. What you are insinuating is insulting. Just because you can't accept a gratuity or gift without feeling guilty doesn't mean everyone is that way. Most of us have matured to the point that we can accept someones appreciation of who we are and what we do without losing our objectivity. If you can't that's your problem but assuming everyone is as prone to dishonesty as you and then calling them names is flat wrong.
if I'm wrong, show me where all the negative field reports are. Every girl and every party couldn't be wonderful.
SIDEWINDER,
Looks like you need to do some research. Some "negative" reports (depending on what you mean by negative) can be found in the field report database and/or in postings on this board. I have a few field reports in the field report database and in a few of my postings about my parties that I consider negative. Others from this board have also submitted field reports or posted about their negative party experiences. Now, before you go look for them, I think a definition is in order--I consider a field report (or posting) about a party with an LPIN to be "negative" if the customer won't repeat with that lady. That's not necessarily a bad party since the lady may have delivered what was asked for in the party but the party just wasn't at the level required to be considered a good party that's worth repeating. That's the definition I use but I'm sure others have their own definition of what they consider to be a negative party experience. Now, as far as a "rip off" party experience--I haven't had one of those since my last party at Sheri's Ranch back in 2001. There are a few "rip off" party experiences that I've seen posted on this forum & in the old SIN forum during the last few years. The best place to find out about "negative" party experiences (or "so so" party experiences) is via back-channel means (PM's, emails, private chats & face2face meetings at LPIN Gathering events) because far more party information gets exchanged.
The main reason I don't like to submit "negative" reviews for inclusion in the field report database is that, for me, writing field reports is a difficult task. English is like a second language to me and it can take me an hour or more to write a single field report. I just don't feel like wasting my precious free time, of which I have very little, on writing about an experience I'd prefer to forget. I'm sure others on this board feel the same way. This information is far easier to pass along to others via face2face meetings during LPIN Gathering events or other get-togethers when a bunch of Monger's are in town.
Interested Bystander is correct--Experience is the best way to avoid a bad party and it's the main reason that many of us here typically end up getting good-to-great parties and then share that information with others. The better choice one makes in who he wants to spend time with is the best defense against getting a bad party and that is best accomplished through experience & research. In my early days of mongering, I had some crappy parties (1999-2001) but as I gained experience and learned how to do appropriate research & choose wisely, those crappy experiences became fewer & fewer. Presently, I rarely even have a "so so" party experience and prefer to stick with the ladies who I have a great time with and repeat with them as often as I can.
