I’m rarely chiming in here, but has it not been stated that we are not buying groceries here. These ladies incur all the risk to brighten perfect strangers’ day. No, we’re not paying for their time, we’re paying for what they can add to our lives. It’s not the hour+ we’re w them, it’s the lifetime of experience they’re NOW profiting from that is worth more than the normal rate.
I’m highly selective w who I see and when all the boxes are checked (fun, brave, kind + exciting) I venture in and when I leave, I’m at full calm. Full peace. That’s not a dollars and cents thing for me; it’s the most intimate vulnerable thing someone can do for you and NO, not all time is equal. Not even repeats w the same girl are equal. I express gratitude w touch and gift and tips…bc there are actual angels among us doing shit for some really undeserving clients bc it’s their reputation if they don’t so yah. Tip the girl. Not tipping IS communication of your appreciation. Or maybe you’ve never had a true connection w someone? Either way. Each of us are here for something oddly specific that we cannot get elsewhere…if we could, would we be doing the pay-to-play thing? I’m a better lover/kinder man when my confidence is high after I’m visiting my favourite healers. I can’t quantify that. I don’t tip a lot, but I always bring lunch/gift cards bc that’s still a fraction of what I’d pay to take my SO out and my satisfaction is significantly greater.
This debate is more about what our perceived “ceiling” is for an experience than it is about wage-standards or inflation. What I want is SPECTACULAR and there are some incredible women that give me SPECTACULAR. Usually days/weeks afterwards. DMs. Some actually give me a gift when they think it’d make a difference in my day. It’s a relationship after all (for me anyways). It’s full trust-for-hire which is absolutely insane that we can do that. My therapist cannot even come close to what I feel and the perspective I get after time w a great woman.
Lexi I appreciate you’re weighing in here, especially against the grain it seems but IMO you don’t owe any of us that bc not everyone you’ll meet/interact w wants the best for you. Period. We’ve not met but to stay in this world, you and your friends/peers, again, incur all the risk.
I’ve been scammed before. It sucks. But at the end of the day, I was reckless w my money and had it not happened when it did, it would’ve happened again another time wsomeone else so this discussion here, IMO, is our only protection fr bad actors in the industry. Any such shady shit by one can change the opinions on many others but it doesn’t negate the fact that there are some women we get to see in this city that are directly from heaven. How can you or I reason an actual angel, in my eyes not yours, isn’t worthy of feeling that appreciation w 0.001% of a $100k income ($100). Is the benefit to me not greater than 8.76hrs of my life, which is (0.001x8760hrs in a year).
Don’t @ me bc I’m right and don’t care. Do what you like but don’t act like this discussion respects the value of these women. They’re not machines or consumables. They’re selling time and a basic service but beyond that they’re literally giving something we didn’t know we wanted or even needed. For me, that’s worthy of appreciation and if she appreciates a tip then that’s what it is for me.
