If you think that RB is just another escort as site, or just a review site... I ask you to show me another place where a woman can put up an ad and make over a $1000 dollars a day any day of the week(unbelievable for most in this economy), chat with a community of dedicated providers who provide each other with information to keep each other safe, have an overabundance of both public and private forums for hobbiests to discuss providers and their services(as well as safety)and share legal info, for ads to be both easy to post and free(also with many advertising options), but at the same time moderated to some degree...

Show me that site and I will stop shouting from the roof tops that RB is an amazing place incomparable to any other. RB has changed my life in a positive way, and I am not ashamed to say it. I say this because I think that many of you "mongers" don't realize just how just much time and hard work goes into providing both women and men alike a place to have fun and exchange info.

I also feel strongly about RB because I feel that unlike other escort ad sites RB creates enough of a community for us providers to get the comfort and support we need as women and give us a sense being more then just a few minute fantasy fuck for you. I think sometimes you nice guys forget that not everyone we women meet is kind or even gentle. We have to take the good, the bad, and the ugly, while doing so with a smile We women are sensitive creatures who have detailed needs that are sometimes hard to satisfy fully(at least when the only people you meet just what you for your 3 holes).. That's where pimps have a place in what should be about a client and a provider. My point was please show some respect and appreciation for the site that actually gives providers a place to be as independent as they choose to be...

I personally bought my first(and second)car, am paying for my education to start a real career, and I am also buying my first house all with money I made here on RB. You can say I might have made that money on a any escort site, but I know for a fact that if I had spend the last year of my life on another site I would not know all the information(I know more about the legal and business side then I could imagine existed) I do today, nor would I have the irreplaceable circle of friends I do now. So I will say again Thank you MYREDBOOK!
PS Sorry for the long post, I'm not an English major, so please excuse any errors.

**Special note: If you want to be a woman recognize your needs and find the best way and safest way for you to fulfill your needs.. after all how can you hope to fulfill someone when you are not fulfilled?
It's one of the easiest things for men to do, and the hardest for women. Identify what you want/need to feel fulfilled, then seek the best way to get it! Isn't that why most men are here, and why most women here have pimps??? (isn't that how you guys search for a provider)

Dayum, break it down...whatever you said, I agree...you don't have to be an English Major, you are a Scorpio, that's enough for me to know, not to make any smart remarks, so please don't tear my head off. WORD.

Shout out to Red, for making this site great! Red is my Homeboy!!

Think about it, but don't let it stop you

I would like to address the issue and several of the replys if I may. I spent the first 20 years of mongering looking for girls on the street. The rush was more immediate and intense but it was always luck of the draw. On the track you could sometimes find a diamond but usually not. It seems to me that SW's started disappearing about 10 years ago and I couldn't find out where they went, it was tough for a few years. In '05 a friend told me about Craigslist. I thought I had found Nervana. It was good for a couple of years till it became to well known by the types who don't like this business. I stumbled onto Redbook about a year ago.

RB has made it so much easier to meet a full spectrum of $60 bj queens to $300 (my limit) eye/arm candy. I miss the the rush, the juice, from the quik pick-up days but generally now it is much safer and you get to think thru your choice's before hand.

To Pohaku, I have read several of your posts and am taken back by your sometimes brutal honesty but I hear the truth, my commends.

>Strangely, the most important thing I have learnt in RB was not about prostitutes, but about women in general. Perhaps because "whores" are the most radically honest and most " giving" bunch among all women.

I love whores. I say "whores" with the upmost affection because how else would a extra-regular guy like me even get close to the plethora of young hotties that populate this board. Honest is OK cause we're both there to get what we want, sex, companionship, money. Giving, sans the donation, I don't think there would be much giving going on.
In closing, RB has been a boone to my enjoyment of life here in the Valley of Hearts Delite. I will also blame my next bankrupcy on RB.

It's a mixed bag. On one hand, for the last few years, I almost always have had an enjoyable experience here on RB. On the other hand, before the internet hobby-ing only cost me $20-$40 in my car, once in a while I would pay $60 and take her home. Of course I never knew what I was getting, there was more drama then good times and sometimes rather then cruising ads on redbook I was driving around the TL till the wee hours of the night.
I have also emailed with providers here on a social level with no intention on hobby-ing with them, more just to get a female perspective. I have also emailed with providers I have seen for fun.

When I first start reading Conservatory (now Bay Lounge), I became completely obsessed with women's writings. Back then overt trolling was not allowed so women posted about everything from likes and dislikes of clients to the books they read. As far as I know RB still is the only place in English language world where the working women post openly about their POV and thoughts.

There are numerous sex related social networking site and discussion groups but nowhere you would find this level of openness in sharing their experiences of sex and relatiionships. Perhaps this is because in non-hobby world, women seek other type of payments ( commitment, long term relationship) and too honest of discussion about their sexuality may not be conducive to finding such " payment".

It certainly changed the way I look at this world. Or more like RB women just blasted all of my pre-conceived ideas about prostitution to pieces. I may have been more receptive to their POV because long before hobby, I met Ms. Margo St.James as a visiting lecturer in my college.
and I also met her colleague from COYOTE who later became good friend.

Strangely, the most important thing I have learnt in RB was not about prostitutes, but about women in general. Perhaps because "whores" are the most radically honest and most " giving" bunch among all women.

>> "Strangely, the most important thing I have learnt in RB was not about prostitutes, but about women in general. Perhaps because "whores" are the most radically honest and most " giving" bunch among all women." <<

I will not attempt to speak for others, but to me your statement above is just about as broad a generalization as a generalization can get, and it certainly does not coincide with my experience in real life or on rb.

I can only assume that you are offering this statement to the readers not as fact, but as your personal opinion.
An opinion based on your perception, and perhaps reality, of your past and present experience with women in general, as well as the "whores" (and their writings) you have encountered here on rb.

I'm trying to be as mindful of the context of your usage as possible, but your statement causes me to wonder how you would define the words "honesty" or "radically honest" as well as the word "giving".

Overall, for the better. I could never get the type of girls I can on this site in the 'real' world. I've enjoyed the message board forums as well. OTOH, this place is fucking up my financial situation.

I would hope that an anonymous monger board did not change your life. One can get a sense of community from these boards, But I believe it is an erzats sense of community.

It allowed me to meet some women I probably wouldn't have received the time of the day as a regular date. As a result, I gained more self-confidence, and feedback in certain areas. Additionally, I have found very valuable information on some of the boards in several topics of interest to me. Thus, a good guide.

   Even though I've had a few bad experiences, I would have to say for the better. I've met a lot of nice guys here that I normally wouldn't get a chance to talk to and being able to ask questions or advice on the boards is great! It's always made me feel like I have a friend who is an accountant, lawyer, insurance agent, mortgage broker, doctor...the list goes on!

   WTF: ersatz? Webster's: being a usu. artificial and inferior substitute or imitation.

This is a hobby for me. It is a fantasy that I act upon. RB provides a relatively safe method of acting out my fantasies. Before RB, I found myself starting to look at my SO's girlfriends; especially the divrced ones that were "available". I did not act on those fantasies; and am still in a happy relationship. Thoroughly, completely happy? Hey, I'm on RB! Point is RB provides a substitute for those times when needed.

Without RB I never would have met wonderful ladies like Gretchen, Vanilla Ashley, Ckiara Rose, Mistress Kalliope, Rachel Toyboxxx, Stella and a host of others. i never would have had the chance to receive Piper's newsletter, or read Annika's epic ad and her many eloquent and potently worded posts--not to speak of viewing those glorious pics of her in the shower and her sumptuous "pad" in SF, nor would I have ever encountered the sage comments of The Gilded Rose on DATY and other essentials, and where else would i have ever encountered the peerless Dong, an entrepreneur of Gang Bangs (!), or the grumpy culo is a culo is a culo is a..., or the estimable Blue Lantern with his great sensitivity to the nuances of our interactions with providers, etc. etc. ? I could go on and on. I've learned so much from the posts, from their give and take, and I am so grateful to you all. I've never encountered anything like RB in my life and only wish I had met up with it when I was 19. Has it changed my life? Hell, yes, and strongly for the better.

I wouldn't be here w/o RB or a site like it. While I had a couple of misadventures, I didn't really start to hobby until the Internet made it relatively safe and review sites took some of the guess work out of the equation.

   I've enjoyed my time here on RB and have enjoyed it even more over this past year. I've met several hundred RBers both providers and hobbyists and all have been very cool and fun to hang out with. Always fun to just be yourself around people who are comfortable around this industry and I've become good friends with several ladies who have gone out of their way for me. I've run into an asshole or two here in the forums as well, but RB wouldn't be RB without a few internet warrior losers with a Napoleon complex.
