I'm sure some of us have stumbled across this screenshot of a clients comment on TER. This screenshot has been circulating over SwerX with a lot of people giving their opinion on the matter. When I read this I was confused, then astonished, and then a little confused again. As much as I'm trying to see this from the clients point of view, and I am partially, I can't help but think this client my just be a little uneducated on things. If not that, then very hazy on how this all works. This honestly makes me happy we aren't as open as we use to be.
I've read this screenshot at least four or five times. Essentially, the client has paid for 4 days with a Europe based provider that he's seen before. I was actually impressed with the renting of a helicopter as well as the jewelry he already got her. You don't do any of that for just anyone. Anyway, with all this planned he's told that the provider will be seeing clients before they're scheduled to see each other which he has a problem with. Companions are eating this up dissecting every bit of what he said here as well as questioning his boundaries as a client, but I think it might be more to it then that.
There is truly on one reason a client would feel this way about a provider. I don't know who the provider or the client is nor do I know their relationship, but no one is feeling this way or demanding what this client is demanding unless BB is involved. When a client books a FMTY they primarily believe that provider is flying to them for the soul purpose of seeing them. With four days booked of that providers time whatever happens in that timeframe is between to consenting adults. However, whatever happens prior to or after that engagement has jack shit to do with us which includes who providers are with. I think BB is the only reason I believe this client would cross the boundary he's crossing.
This is just my opinion. regardless of what really is going on here as clients I don't think we should be pushing boundaries like this. I hope this guy didn't lose his booking with this screenshot circulating. The best thing might be to end it if I'm being honest. At this point the amount of awkwardness in those four days would be solid enough to cut with a knife.
