You are correct. And I have a lot to weigh in on this topic.
Let me start by saying that their is no set 'criteria' for one of these 'johns'. What I mean is, you can't say that their is a typical kind of john. There isn't. They come from every walk of life. Happy, successful, and married with kids, just looking for a fling, right down to people who are so depressing, you sometimes want to cut your own wrist just so you can stop hearing them complain. Having said that, I tend to find that a lot of these johns talk a lot about how 'macho' and what not they are on the boards, are usually the low life losers who sit at the end of the bar alone unless they have a few hundred in their pocket...which will, if lucky, find it's way to a 'providers' pocket. I have had customers come to me, who act like they are tough guys, but being able to read past their character, I know they would never act that way towards a man their own age and size.
On the very different other hand... Some of these guys really aren't looking for sex. Some of them just need that little part of them fulfilled.... The wife's to busy to cuddle. (Seriously I had a 6 foot 7 man who weighed damn near 350+ pounds cry to me, that all he wanted was for someone to hold him.) Sex wasn't needed, nor wanted. It was the simple desire to be desired. For someone to want your affection, and to give it back. Other men aren't getting it at home, or their getting it but are bored with it. Some guys couldn't get a piece of *meow meow* if their life depended on it, so they turn to their wallets... time to buy a woman.
As an experienced provider I can surely say that I have seen it all. For the good and the bad. More the good thankfully, and no I do not glamour-ize the life to anyone and would never bringanyone into it with me. Johns come in all shapes, sizes, attitudes, walks of life, ideas of woman and how to treat them. I have had johns that I could go to their house, when they weren't home, have a shower, some food, a nap, watch some TV... turn the lock and leave, all while he's at work. I have also had johns that wouldn't allow me to ever see so much as their vehicle for fear of wives/gfs finding out, etc. My point being is, it all depends on the guy what he's looking for, and his moral standings. Not everyone is up to par with doing good by others these days, and that is sad; especially in the case of a SK running around axing providers because they are merely an ''easy target.''
