"Rules of Thumb"
 
LAST EDITED ON 29-Jun-10 AT 10:35 PM (PST)
 
Here are a few:

1. If the girl says she's Russian it's probably a scam.
2. If the girl has a name like "Armani" or something else like that probably gonna be issues.
3. If the ad says "real pics" they're probably not.
4. If she gives a first and last name probably gonna be $$$.
5. If the ad says "visiting" or "new" but the number is local probably a scam.
6. If she reposts her ad 5 times in one night probably a scam.
7. If she's based in Hayward 50/50 says there'll be a pimp or problems.
8. If the ad is super long probably $$$.
9. If when you click on the photo it's tiny probably will be problems.
10. If she says she accepts gifts probably will upsell.
11. If it's a 775 number watch out!
12. If you Google her number and a different name pops out watch out!
13. If there's a lot of tats probably a pimp or ghetto.
14. If it's an AAMP ad and it says "2X ok" look for a 50 year old woman when the door opens.
15. If the ad says "Back in town" but there are no reviews watch out.
16. If the photo looks like it was taken by a 1985 Polaroid camera probably not the girl or, if it is, you'll wish it wasn't.
17. If the photo looks too good it probably is.
18. If all the photos hide one part of her body there's a good reason for that...
19. If all the photos look like they were taken by a different camera at least half of them aren't of her.
20. If the ad says stuff like: I'll treat you like your wife/girlfriend doesn't you'll get taken for a different kind of ride.
21. If she's wearing ghetto jewelry she will be... ghetto.
22. If her phone number has a "O" instead of an "0" or if she breaks it up like 415 Six 34 679 Zero best to pass on her.

   Thanks for sharing. Nice list but you forgot one. If she doesn't answer on the first ring, run as fast as you can to the next one.

Here's a tip.

Type the area code in at www.google.com

I'll do the first one for you.

http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&as_qdr=all&q=702&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=


Some believe that girls from these area codes are ROB's.

This is a very sweeping statement and not necessarily true. There are, and have been, good quality Hookers that have relocated, visiting or otherwise have a good rep.

It simply means you need to do more research, closer scrutiny, read reviews, and make your own conclusion. I would not rule someone automatically out just because of her area code.

702 = "seven on two": this is a gang bang
619 = "sixty nine with a barrier in-between", e.g., condom, dam, dry humping with clothes.

You're welcome.

Some pretty good observations, but I don’t think #6 is right.
6. If she reposts her ad 5 times in one night probably a scam.

Given the number of women posting ads a provider’s ad will move out of view in a very short period of time. Ladies can repost (bump) their ads, but the system requires them to wait about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Some ladies pay for the auto bump feature so the system does it for them automatically.


Too much sex is still not enough

   Very nice!

"Then there’s Emmon Bodfish, of Oakland, California. Emmon figures that, as a rule of thumb, a relaxed person needs to inhale twelve times every minute. Emmon’s research also shows that it takes two minutes for the sun to drop out of sight after it first touches the horizon. These are not earthshaking rules, but it's nice to think of Emmon just sitting on his porch swing, counting breaths and watch ing the sun go down."

Some of the guys that have been around as long as we have,
chabanais, know that in some ways I am involved in the scene
from a different perspective than most here. Whatever. I
have some comments on your points


>2. If the girl has a name like "Armani" or something else
>like that probably gonna be issues.

Girls name themselves to try and sound sexy. Some have
issues, some don't.

>3. If the ad says "real pics" they're probably not.

Pretty sweeping generalization here. All girls are aware
that some use phony (or real old) pics, and so many who use real pics want to
differentiate themselves.


>4. If she gives a first and last name probably gonna be $$$.

????? come on.


>5. If the ad says "visiting" or "new" but the number is
>local probably a scam.

Might be. But the first thing any new girl who comes to
town is likely to do is get a Metro phone. Takes 20
minutes, costs under $100, and is a local number. Or use someone elses number at first. I mean, how many guys are gonna dial a New York prefix with an inquiry?

>6. If she reposts her ad 5 times in one night probably a
>scam.

Many girls know damn well that few guys go beyond the first
page or two (in CL or whatever) and post accordingly. Though I grant you 5 times a night on one site is overkill. Not necessarily evil, though.

>7. If she's based in Hayward 50/50 says there'll be a pimp
>or problems.

Seems pretty sweeping. With ANY girl it is 50/50 at least
that there is a pimp involved. Don't know personally if
Hayward is better or worse than average.

>8. If the ad is super long probably $$$.

Never noticed this, but then, never looked for it either.

>9. If when you click on the photo it's tiny probably will be
>problems.

When it is posted where? And how knowledgable is the >poster? Pretty broad statement.

>10. If she says she accepts gifts probably will upsell.

I think it is tacky for her to say that. Does imply a certain
greediness....but still a broad statement.

>12. If you Google her number and a different name pops out
>watch out!

That's silly. Few girls work under their real names, and
many aren't sophisticated enough to be aware of googling
phone numbers. In fact, a girl would have to be fairly stupid to work under her real >name with a phone number listed to her. "OK, I've decided to be a hooker. I'll just use my real name and number and hope my parents and friends don't call and get my message"!

>13. If there's a lot of tats probably a pimp or ghetto.

Depends on the tats! Lot of punk rock hookers with tats.
Beware of crowns. Or "property of" (though that could be a biker chick)

>17. If the photo looks too good it probably is.

Or was just done by a pro.

>19. If all the photos look like they were taken by a
>different camera at least half of them aren't of her.

Come on. Girls choose pictures they like to post. They may
not have been taken at the same time or by the same camera. Again, sweeping.

>20. If the ad says stuff like: I'll treat you like your
>wife/girlfriend doesn't you'll get taken for a different
>kind of ride.

Or just get some head or rimmed. Come on now.


>21. If she's wearing ghetto jewelry she will be... ghetto.

Good bet.

>22. If her phone number has a "O" instead of an "0" or if
>she breaks it up like 415 Six 34 679 Zero best to pass on
>her.

Lots of reasons girls disguise their number. Ranging from
sites that won't let you post a number (if the computer
recognizes it as a phone number) to LE concerns from
previous problems, to hiding from BFs, family, or former
pimps.

Your post is a real mixed bag, in my view. Some good info,
some, well, not so good info.

I hand it to you for trying to share your observations with
others, even if some of them aren't (in my opinion) really
valid.

PS did you know that the original "Rule of Thumb" was that it was illegal to beat your wife with a stick bigger around than your thumb? Don't tell any pimps....

wow, you are being WAY TOO LITERAL in your interpretation of his rules. as the post stated, they are rules of thumb. Wikipedia defines it: A rule of thumb is a principle with broad application that is not intended to be strictly accurate or reliable for every situation.

I think there was also an element of humor intended in the rules. all in all, I think it was a great post with some good observations and definitely some good rules of thumb to consider when hobbying, especially if you want to error on the side of caution.

How about this one:

If she has sex for money she's probably a hooker.

I don't have a solution but I admire the problem.

I realize there may be a humorous intent in your post, but I want to point out the following:

>>>6. If she reposts her ad 5 times in one night probably a scam.<<<

That is not necessarily true at all. Have you heard of AUTOBUMP? Many providers pay for an ad feature called AUTOBUMP, which can bump their ad up to once per hour. This can be useful in areas that have so many classified ads where their ad can fall off page one quickly.

Scroll down under the section AUTOBUMP:

http://forum.myredbook.com/dcforum2/DCForumID8/16403.html


>>>11. If it's a 775 number watch out!<<<

Dude, there are nothing wrong with many 775 numbers—just like any other area code!!! All of Nevada outside of Vegas is under the 775 area code. This includes Reno. As the public forum mod for Reno/Tahoe, I can assure you there are MANY reputable and outstanding providers from the Reno area that have 775 numbers, including a number of five star providers.

I WOULD be cautious with the 702 (Vegas) area code. Many scams in Vegas and among traveling girls with that area code.

>5 bumps in an hour? Don't think so!

Again, refer to the link in my previous post. Quoting from that advertising thread:

"Currently, everytime you edit a classifieds ad, it will bump to the top of the "new" listings. This is subject to a once per 2 hour 15 minute limit. While you can edit your ad ad many times and ad often as you want, it will not bump more than once every two hours and 15 minutes."

IOW, classified ads can only be manually bumped ONCE PER EVERY 2 HOURS 15 MINUTES!

If a provider opts for Plan B, she can have her ad automatically bumped ONCE PER HOUR maximum.

   How about:

1) If she's got tats on her tits or ass and it's some dude's name. She's pimped.
2) If you and her text back and forth, yet she doesn't remember anything, you were texting her pimp.
3) If she calls you "Sweetie", it's not because she likes you, but rather "sweetie" is another way of saying "trick" or "John"
4) If she demands money up front then disappears to hide it, be prepared to get fucked (and not in a good way).

   a.) If she's young and speaks english, she's probably ghetto (vocabulary & hygene) and pimped.

b.) If she's asian and doesn't speak english, she's probably older and not a looker but can make up for that in service & attitude.

c.) Just because she costs more doesn't mean she's worth more.

d.) If she's the one, then she's probably not available.

e.) What goes around, comes around.

f.) If you're a quick draw shooter, in the heat of the moment, just think of her last customer's genital cheese you just licked off her.
