Willywants- I want to thank you again for such a poetic and humourous post, that was one of your better ones. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. I hope you are packing for our trip ;-)
Colt- thank-you for further explaining and agreeing with what I was trying to express in this thread . I am a very passionate person in and out of the bedroom LOL. And yes I expressed myself in a very passionate way because this has been a very hot topic amongst a lot of escorts as of late. And a regular client of 2 years recently tried to bargain my tavel rate down to a unfairly cheap rate. And when I said no I could not afford to do that(I have financial responsibilities and would be losing money by going away with him) he was insulted and had the audacity to say, 'well I thought we were friends, cant you make an exception'?
Joebob- My 'attitude' as you call it stems from the way Shack , as I percieved it ,disrespectfully referred to some SP's as cold hard money-grubbers if they would not lower their daily rates and him stating that we were unrealiable 'creatures'. I am human being with human emotions and have the right like the men on Terb to be angry, and express my opinions too!!! It is funny that you totally dismissed my playful, humourous posts with Willywants, what does that say about my 'attitude' ? I guess people only see what they want to see. BTW- your travel trip with a SP seemed very fair and reasonable(free time, and different sleeping areas and shopping$), in comparison to shacks
The Fan- I never said I would 'never' negotiate my rates as long as it was a reasonable, fair offer ( I have done it ). It is the clients that think they are 'entitled' ( because they are a regular and we are friendly) to a unreasonable and unfair reduced rate ,that I have a problem with. And I believe that it is not going out on a limb when I said, a young person who has never left the province or 'been on a plane' is probably not very worldy or has a lot of life experience , and is probably more naive then someone with more life experience and who is twice her age.
I for one have NEVER cheated or rushed a client when he has spent his hard earned money for a session with me. I prefer to go over the time then under because I am so concerned in giving my clients their moneys worth and more.
When I first started in the biz I worked for an incal agency. I was so pissed off when the other SP's would find it funny if they could rush their client in the quickest time, I think the record of one girl was 7mins. when he paid for a hour session. I felt sorry for the client because she ripped him off and cheated him out of his time and hard earned money. I believe that is rude and disrespectful and mean! I never did that and some girls even mentioned that I spoiled my clients because I was too nice to them. And they wondered why I had such a high repeat rate. I just called it common courtesy and respect , the 'golden rule'. I would try to explain to them that, how would they feel if they went to a restaurant and were treated the way they treat their clients , they would surely have a hissy fit!!!
(I only see regular clients at the moment, I have not advertised in over a year, and as you all can see I do not post a link to my name, website, or email addy- because I dont need the extra business- I also have great reviews on Terb, so I must be doing something right when it comes to how I treat my regular clients). I do well in this business because I am professional, fair and treat my clients like kings for the time we are together. I have very strong feelings about this thread because it sounded like Shack , took advantage of the fact that she was young and probably naive ( he admitted to talking her travel rate down considerably) and therefore , as I see it partially cheated her out of HER fair worth for her time. And then bashed other SPs who would not lower their 'outlandish' rates as 'unrealiable creatures' and who were hard, cold and money grubbing. I percieved that he was almost bragging that he was able to bargain down her prices and score a bargain basement deal. And hinting to other Sps and hobbyists that they should do and expect the same.
In closing , it ANGERS me( and obviously all hobbyists, thus the valid purpose for boards such as Terb) when a SP cheats or rips off a client of his precious time and money. It is wrong and I am glad that you guys here on Terb expose those SPs tactics, because that behaviour is unacceptable.
I hope that the fair and reasonable guys here on terb are ANGERED and realize, that it is just as wrong and unacceptable, and insulting to unreasonably bargain down a sp's rate. And to feel entitled to an unfair discount because they are a regualr client, is an attempt to 'cheat' the Sp out of her valuable and precious time. Cheating works both ways guys!!!
