I'm f'in sick of the bullshit here

[great bear]

A quick and correct lesson on economics. Tks Sheik

 

[playw/respect]

Seems that all the mods make genuine and fair statements in every thread. Sheik, here is my salute to you

 

[Viewer]

I feel a little "me too" with this post, but...

Right on Sheik. Well said.

 

[danmand]

I doubt that many terbites had thought about the connection between whining about rates and lost advertisement revenue. I know I hadn't. Good that you pointed that out.

 

[svtcobra]

Ruck! You have a valid thoughts and I like reading you're post. This is one guy that stands up and don't hide behind his handle. Good post and I have to agree with you on what you said.

Ruck is a stand up guy, we have spoken allot in the past and once in awhile now since we both have very busy lives. He is one guy one here that isn't afraid to say what he has to say and speak the truth.

Good for you man!

shiek. thanks for the comments.
its great to hear it all laid out so clearly.

im one of those, very few clients, 400 dollar pricetag girls
that a very select few posters here like to harrass.

and, yep, admitedly, these few people can sometime push me close to my breaking point. not to drop my prices, because my clientelle is steady. but to focus elsewhere, on other venues of advertising, and call it quits with TERB drama.

I hope that the atmosphere can improve here. more tolerance for differences and less hostility and complaining.
sure, everyone here has an opinion. but is it neccesary to air it out if it is only negative?

i'd never think of someone as "cheap" for not wanting to see me, or pay $400 an hour. everyone has different desires, priorities and tastes. there exists a perfect SP for every man..i think.....and no doubt it's probably exciting to play the field, and find that gem of a girl for $100.

in the end..to each his own.

may i just point out shiek not all us women with lower rates see several clients a day. in fact i have always had lower rates, and i see at most one client a day most times 3 a week

Where's the guy who used to spend $1,500 every time he went to a club?

Maybe doing car windows in the financial district.

In general, it is reasonable to say that you think a Lexus costs too much, that it is not worth it, that you love your Neon and think that you would have to be crazy to spend the extra money for a Lexus. And then the Lexus guy can say that you are just too cheap to drive a Lexus, and not sophisticated enough to tell the difference. That would be appropriate on a car review board.

What perhaps sometimes people forget is that SPs are not cars, they are people, and saying that they are not worth their rates is a personal comment as well as a business comment, so it is not surprising that people get upset.

 

[frankcastle]

Don't take it so personally this is a biz. You spend what you want. I love a good massage but while I have treated myself to SRM, HFH and IT I also try mid range places like Star, B&S and low range places like AC.

 

[frankcastle]

I understand that it was about SPs and the price is much wider but there is also a wide range in massage prices too..... you can spend anywhere from $40 to $260 and beyond.

And IMO people say pretty much the same things about the guys who are looking for the cheap rubs with high mileage.

Regardless of whether you are talking about cars, MPAs, SPs, clothes, watches, cologne, suits or whatever so long as you are happy with what you are getting you shouldn't concern yourself with what others are spending.

That's my point.

Sorry if they are percieved to be that different..... just not in my books.

I cant count the number of times I've had to pull posts off from guys whining about someone charging $400 an hour and guess what guys, you drove them off the boards with your constant whining. You in fact cost TERB several advertisers because you offended them. Are they hurting? No, is business slow for them? Not from what I hear.

This is an important statement to make.

Has the philosophy of TERB changed from being a review board to an advertising revenue generating board?

Who does TERB "Respect" more - Paid advertisers or guys who post reviews?

If high class hookers aren't hurting for business, then why should they give a shit? As for driving them off, if business is so good what were they paying for? The opportunity to post? The opportunity to be-little guys who bitch about their rates?

If I had created a review board such as this, no doubt one of my business objectives would be to make a few bucks off of my hard earned time. However, the means of creating a viable revenue source have depended upon the quantity and quality of reviewers. Catering to the needs of advertisers (who will always be demanding and one-sidedly selfish) jeopardizes the very means (the reviewers) that allowed the board to be in the position it is.

A fine line indeed...

Where the fuck is poolie?

 

[luv4lust]

It's all fine and dandy. Everyone is entitled to go and get what they want in their own budget range. Those folks who use the more expensive escorts dont bitch about the prices of the those that are not as expensive, however those that use less expensive escorts have a tendency to bitch about the escorts that charge more saying they aint worth it.

Which is fine, keep your opinion to yourself about the prices of the ladies and the board will be a much more sociable place to visit. I cant count the number of times I've had to pull posts off from guys whining about someone charging $400 an hour andguess what guys, you drove them off the boards with your constant whining.

I've always said that if a girl prices herself out of the market she will learn to adjust her rates to what she is comfortable charging.

Basic idea of what the higher price girls go thru who really are good at what they do. When an appt is booked, they require min number of hours, usually 2 to 4 is the minimum booking. The go for a tan, get their hair done, prepare their bodies with shaving, moisturizers etc and taking the time to do it right. They do their nails and not just their hands, they get a pedicure done as well. Sometimes they hire people to do this and sometimes they do it themselves. All this costs time and money. This is the reason why they charge as much as they do. The majority of the time they only want a few clients a week and dont want appts every day. One lass in the business only sees one client a week, she charges $350 per hour with a 2 hour minimum booking. She's happy and it allows her time to focus on her studies without worrying about how she's gonna pay her rent. She lives a modest life in a simple apartment.

Other girls are happier charging a lower rate and seeing several clients a day but its all irrelevant to us. Only the girls decide what they want to charge and how many clients they wish to see. If they dont get what they want, you will find them lowering their expectations.

It's not up to us to tell them that oh you dont charge enough or oh you charge too much.

So guys, learn to STFU about the girls rates. If she's too high, ignore her and quit whining about it.

Let me let you in on something. You are worse than the ones who openly admit to being cheapsters. Why is that? Because at least those guys are real enough to say "hey, I can't afford 200 bucks to get laid." That and they walk away satisfied, even if the experience was subpar. Part of the reason being that they saved cash on a bad experience. You don't feel so bad when you lose 60 or 80 to a bad experience but I bet your blood pressure goes up big time when you get fucked over on a 250/hr bad session.

Its not even always that they cant afford it... maybe they can but they are just a different kind of hobbyist.... one that thinks that 250+ (or what have you) is simply not worth because all they want to do is release the tension and get on with your life.

Some guys hobby because they cant get girls
Some hobby to live a fantasy
and others hobby simply because its convenient (this is where the lower priced girls shine)

Your motives (in conjunction with common sense) are largely whats gonna dictate how much you spend....Some of these "big spenders" need to come to grips with that

 

[hunter001]

Isn't this a little off topic now?

I beleive Ruck's point was he didn't liked being put down (his perception) for looking for "cheapies" or "gems".

It is pointless to debate prices because value is only based on what a SP is willing to provide for and what a client is willing to spend. Everyone has a difference sense of what value is.

I agree with you there and was just about to point that out myself. It seems every time there is a hint of an SP pricing discussion, the lecturing comes out, warranted or not. (In this case, not.)

 

[Smash]

Well for me I can afford a $200.+ "high priced sp" BUT I can't justified spending the extra coin when I can have a greaaaat time with a sp who charges $80.-$120. Instead of dropping $400. on a sp I'd rather see a $120. sp that knows how to get-down and finishes me off the way I like. The difference can be used for other more important things in my life besides sex.

I just can't warrent handing over x-mount of money for someone's company. I would say I see a $120. sp once every 3 weeks on average and i'm happy with that. I date various women and get laid quite allot. The reason I see sp's is because somtimes I just want the no-holds-barred sex without all the talkin, cuddeling and aftermath I get when I bone a girl I'm dating. It's just conveient for me.

So maybe I am a "cheepster" on here which is fine with me. I don't really care what anybody on here thinks about me...why the hell would I

 

[LancsLad]

Which reminds me, its time to visit the politics forum again and clean it up.

Say there sherriff, is that a .45 you're packen or are ya just glad to see me?

 

[LancsLad]

Sorry Lancs, I caught a glimpse of Shauna and Dani on the way in. Forgive me?

All is forgiven, just make sure the weapon is on "safety", those two can cause an early discharge.
