WHY are you bargaining???

[Rigin]

In my own humble opinion, I think some providers may cause this, you will see prices changing with different ads and that gives the impression that the price may not be set in stone.

Here is a post from another thread:

Local Houston provider told me to check her reviews... The last six 1 hour appointments had 5 different prices. The three half hours had three different prices. Later I realized she had a web site which posted her prices.

Now if her prices are posted on a web site... while do the reviews show different prices? I would agree they are certainly not set in stone!

[AdventureAdams]

Yeah I agree some girls rates ebb and flow depending on how much they think they need the money at that time.

[amusemeant]

LOL I bet my reviews have different prices too. Some of the men are nice enough when they write a review to post "this was a special" (if it was) when posting what they know to be a reduced price. Because a review is subjective, I personally would not expect potential clients to gleen my current rates from that info. If a girl is pointing you in that direction for rates and they are all different, she can hardly expect you not to get confused. I'm not sure how to politely point that out to her without possibly making her angry...personally if I am being ambiguous and someone points it out - I am thankful.

I always change my rates on all my ads to reflect whatever the current rates is whenever possible. Whatever the current rate is, it's on my showcase or my ad, and I'll gladly point a potential client to the right place. If the special is over it's over. What I did last month or last year I am not obligated to do now. That's why a girl has a special...she's looking to raise a certain amount or offer a reduced rate within a certain period - not permanently change her rates. Dang! *thinking of Napoleon Dynomite*

I think trying to negotiate a lower price is insulting to the provider. We are not buying cars or clothing or cell phones or some other mass produced product. Negotiations belong in businesses where the same product is being offered at different prices and profit margins.

Every lady in this business is a one-of-a-kind individual offering a one-of-a-kind experience. She has the right to set her own value and the marketplace (we hobbyists) can then determine whether that value is right, based on our decision to make an appointment or not.

I'll be the first to admit it, I negotiate if it comes up. And I have the right to say no. But sometimes, if a guy says, "This is what I have" ... well, I'll either counter it, accept it or say no. It depends on my mood, really.

I have run specials and it always comes back to bite me in the ass. Four or five months later, I'll be half naked with a man and he'll say, "Oh. It's so and so, isn't it?" and my rate was that for three days months ago. There isn't much to do at that point.

But as one friend used to tell me, she always wanted to be the first to say no. So yes. I negotiate. I don't like to but I will. And I do sincerely believe that I'm completely worth the modest rate that I charge. Shrug.

Shoot me.

Interesting.

This is all moot, because we all want to be overpaid and want pay less than full price for anything we buy. In terms of the hobby, if the shoes were on the other foot, women would be doing the exact same thing.

How many of YOU providers have never tried to get a price on ANYTHING reduced or even tried to get a guy at a club to buy you a drink? Trying to get out of paying a traffic ticket is HAGGLING. Everyone does just about everything in their power to save money, including hobbyists. What's REALLY the big deal here?

There are too many providers in Dallas. I do have a spending ceiling. If I don't like your rates, then I don't even HINT at seeing you.



I've seen women that charge a lot and those more affordable. Enjoyment had NOTHING to do with how much I spent. I remember a $300 encounter where there was no oral, one pop, and she couldn't WAIT to hit the door. I also remember a $150 encounter with kissing, MSOG, and I had to remind her to take the fee.

A good (but not be all) measuring stick of services compared to rates is the amount of repeat business you're getting. If it's high, then more power to you. If it's low, perhaps you aren't doing something right.

Just saying.

Sorry bud... I disagree. There are NEVER to many providers anyware! Trust me regardless of price or services, if you don't want to hit it, someone else will!

[Randall Creed]

Lol.

I just looked at Dallas' P411.

717 providers.

It almost looked like a typo. In fact, lemme check again.


[checked again]

Yep. Still 717. Wow! 717!! Seven hundred and seventeen LISTED providers on P411. That means I could see a different woman EVERY DAY for two years and not repeat. But hey, Ms. Lady, if you've got the moxy like that to where you don't worry about repeat business, more power to ya.


As well, more power to that 'somebody'. Maybe if I save up I can spend like him.



Oh, wait. You're a guy with a girly avatar. Thought you were a woman.

My avatar... you're welcome!

717 you say? All right lets divide it in half. Thats 358 for me and 359 for you. (I give up the extant one and I'll let you know which ones I pick!)

If we do 3 per day, that’s 120 days or 20 weeks (Sunday is a day of rest! we'll need it!) and only (5) FIVE months. Now I'm sure your a nice guy like me and will hook a brother up with half of yours (Perhaps another bud with a girly avatar) and your done in 2 1/2 months! Hell you see that’s just four buddy's doing their thang... what about the rest of the guys? Like I said you can never have TO MANY providers!

[seductivesarah]

I agree 100%

Your latest review:

Price: Special (What the deal with that?)

[Randall Creed]

That's fine.

Charge what you want. I'm just saying. If I was in a market with 700 competitors, I'd make having repeat clients a priority. Hell, this is just the LISTED number of girls. Youv'e got pockets with hidden gems and BP girls who have their little fan base.

If you're doing fine with things the way they are, that's great. If you AREN'T, well, I guess you have some things to figure out.

Just saying.

That is very common in Ohio , not intrested in it ! One suggestion is hang up the phone , times are really tough up here.
