What amazes me is members here that bitch when they get scammed on Humpchies, personally I would be too embarrassed to admit to being an idiot.
If you are isolating specifically the ones who
complain and bitch when they get scammed or B&S, then I agree with you that they should not be bitching about it and feel entitled. They knew very well what they were getting into and that is part of the price to pay to find gems. If one decides to venture through humpchies, one has to be willing to take the loss and move on.
Where I don't agree with you is the idea that we should keep those horrible experiences to ourselves and not share them in the review section of this board. I feel that this is a very selfish mindset. Did you know that many reviewers do not share their experiences here because they get judged, bullied, criticized and called idiots when they should be thanked for TOFTT. Sure, they didn't exercise proper due diligence, they didn't research properly, they thought with their dicks instead of their brains and they got screwed. These guys are sharing their bad experiences here so that other members become aware. To me that is commendable, not to mention the ability to put their pride aside.
What I don't get is when someone reports a bad experience, some members here are always so quick to tell them "
Always go for reputable providers, seek top agencies only, never go on humpchies, etc". I find that quite funny because when we report good experiences from humpchies, we don't hear these comments. We actually get bombarded with PMs and thanked for TOFTT
from the same people who said to never go on these sites. If we were to completely avoid humpchies, leolist, annonceintime and annonce123, where would we find these rare gems that everyone talks about? Did you know that some providers on this board started from humpchies and some guys just TOFTT and they gained popularity and are now top providers. If we follow the mindset of many guys here of NEVER using ad sites, these girls would never have been discovered.
How do you think that a well-reviewed indy provider who doesn't advertize on merb end up becoming well reviewed? How does a gem end up coming a gem? It has to start with some "idiot" taking the risk. What's funny is that he will be called an idiot if it was a bad experience but will be praised if it's a good experience. It seems that there is a very fine line between an idiot and a Boss and luck is often the determining factor. It's people like UncleBob and Jalimon who take these risks so that you don't have to. The point is that they should be thanked even if they got scammed because they just saved thousands of members from doing the same mistake. Writing what you wrote will discourage some people from sharing their negative experiences (
unless I misunderstood you, then please feel free to clarify).
The point here is that there is behavioral inconsistencies from some members depending on the type of experiences reviewers share. It is not true that we should completely avoid booking through humpchies. This is bad advice. We should rather point the less experienced reviewers to an excellent post that was done by our fellow member bobbiz called "
Guide to TOFTT". That way they will be more equipped to make better decisions on these sites going forward.
It's important to create an environment where it is encouraged rather than discouraged to post horrible experiences and not to feel ashamed about it. Trust me, the shame was already felt while walking out of the session.
100% of my experiences from Humpchies, LeoList, Annonceintime and annonce123 have been TOFTT. 80% of them were using real pictures and provided good service for the low price I pay. 10% were using fake pictures but still offered decent service and the remaining 10% offered horrible service that I just want to erase from my brain. But all in all, great average with proper due diligence.
