Are things getting slow?

[Juandoe51]

I’ve had at least 4 ladies reach out to me that they are available same day! Only one of them provided a discount rate.

One of the previous ladies that I’ve seen warned me about ladies reaching out same day. She said she had been doing this for 20 yrs and got caught up in a couple of stings where they made her reach out to her client list and offer them services to bring them into the string operation. I hope that’s not the current case right now!

Anyone else seeing this?

No. Instead I've been playing email and text tag with someone for 3 weeks lol... Same day availability happens but if it's "RIGHT NOW HEAD OVER NOW" vs "I'm free in a few hours", something is a bit off IMHO.

I'm not believing the forcing someone to reach out to clients for entrapment of that client. That's a bit out of bounds for LE.

Could just be that they had cancellations and were trying to fill a spot.

That sounds plausible, but are you 100% certain? How do you know that?

[TXSUN55000]

common sense with regards to the law. They already walk a fine line when pulling off stings, etc. so do not believe they would arrest someone, then have her call a bunch of people, in order to have them show up and get arrested. They (she) would be the one soliciting/making contact, not the Johns. Doesn't work that way. No crime with your number being in someone's phone.

I think the stock market being a bit unsettled, tariff uncertainty, economy contracting 0.3% for the first quarter, etc. has affected people’s spending. I was going to get a new car, but held back and decided to keep the old one for a while longer. Postponed a trip to Europe. Consumer confidence is down, too.

Agree with TTH that economic uncertainty cutting discretionary spending a more likely reason. Too many easier ways to bust guys with less likelihood of having the case thrown out on an entrapment defense.

If they have the ladies cooperation, they can just get access to her phones or accounts and field the incoming communications soliciting service from the woman without much effort by either LE or the provider.

After a year or so of hobbying, so maybe in 2011 or 2012, I noticed that when gas prices increased, bookings decreased a bit. When gas prices came down, bookings increased. It wasn't a huge shift, it's just something I noticed. I tend to look for patterns in things.

Hobby is a little slower than it typically is for this time of year, and when ladies start reaching out, that's a sure sign of it. For the frugal guys, this may be a time to reach out to new ladies, but only after due diligence on her.

As a side note, I would be wary of any lady, at any time, that says to come over right now and doesn't ask about screening first for new to her friends. For established friends, I wouldn't worry too much.

If I ever get a request to meet that seems a little off, I just don’t respond for a few days (if at all) until I get some assurance that it’s on the level.

I’d rather miss out on a good opportunity than get caught in a trap. It just ain’t worth it.

Lewisville had to drop like two years worth of sting operations because the cops went just a little to far. Not even fucking them from what I can tell.

I’ve been receiving several messages a day from independents and AMPs recently. Between rising costs, economic uncertainty, and AMP raids, I can see why business is slow. I don’t see it getting better anytime soon.

Providers all respond differently. Some provide discounts/specials. AMPs, for whatever reasons, have responded by increasing house fees and their tip expectations.

Non-hobby businesses are being hit too. A lady I have visited for two years for facials, scrubs, back waxing, and lite massages gave me a L2 this month (we’ve talked about my visits to the AMP in the same shopping center before). She is obviously trying to generate additional income.

I guess the question is, are the ladies reaching out to you the same ones who have increased their rates?

If so, that last statement makes sense. If not, then it could mean that the slowdown isn’t universal.
