I can honestly say I have felt the same way-AA providers are not as desired -although lots of guys love AA women I just feel other races of providers are more desired.
Ex. MOST sugar daddy/ISO/Personal exhaust their desire for a Caucasian 1st Hispanic 2nd and Asian 3rd
Some even so much as say No AA girls-I understand preference but besides that?
MOST think we are FAT(as I am a heavier chick-huge boobs-matching a** and i am fairly tall for a woman) although the guys that see me LOVE me I seek to be desired by more.
Although I may be -I am not sure what to do to improve my business.
I do better traveling-but would love to enjoy my home in Houston.
I speak properly- have always been joked that I am a white-black girl.
Guys even often hang up on me because they think i am not the girl in the pic when I answer my phone-they think I am Caucasian
I have one tattoo-that I do not make visible in any of my pics-I am professional-keep nice clean MOSTLY UPSCALE incalls-I offer some things MOST AA providers DO NOT-I travel-Keep an open mind-stay prompt-courteous and communicate well.
In certain places you'll see a trend of no AA desired and other's love us.
I have definitely seen the negatives listed and do not hold those qualities.
I feel as though other AA providers DO contribute to our potential. WE set our standards and A lot of AA have IMHO F*cked up or contributed to bad stereo-types.
BUT how do the successful AA providers manage and excel?
I did see that it has been expressed that it is deeper than this thread-I totally agree-BUT are any of the successful AA providers offering the things they feel can grow our race's bond? Are they open to helping each other or just themselves?
I don't know. But I know I try to help everyone I can. I change rates to see if there are anyone interested that may not be able to afford or wish to spend as much because of different reasons and HONESTLY I haven't had much success even with changes I make. I reach out to other providers and help them in any way that I can. NOTHING returned
I started out limited strict "menu"-and i am open-minded now-I see what is desired but sometimes I DO feel there are more strikes against AA providers-especially myself.
I am not down about it or weak minded-I just have a sense of reality and live as a realist.
Most AA rate are significantly lower than other races and if they aren't they get haggled-why? I never feel the need to compete with any individual but it does affect business sometimes.
I get everyone wants a deal-which I definitely have to understand BUT I possess quality and don't wish to be in connection with high-traffic "I'd rather NOT be a freeway" LOL
I try to base my rates on what I would be comfortable with and staying within my markets range. As my service is great-I provide an experience-I continue to feel the need to raise my rates to receive (closer to) the value of my time.
Like it was stated-make your date feel like they are the only man in your life. (how-ever it was worded) I possess that-I feel our time is OUR alone time BUT I miss out on other's because I spend too much time with one. My dates always go over and the one that didn't go over much made me feel bad because he didn't want to leave-yet offered no additional compensation.
I really haven't got much from this thread-maybe my post will give me a response that will enlighten me and NOT criticize or put me down.
We will see

As far as being a "Successful Ebony Provider" goes:
I'm not a "Successful" Provider until I leave this industry. Point blank.
And yes, I agree with you on the fact that there are other black providers on here that contribute to the negative stereotype about Ebony ladies. But then again, bad service should not coincide with color and bad service is definitely not limited to one's race/ethnicity.
Also, I never question why guys put "No AA" in their requests/ISOs. If they say no AA, then they don't want AA. They have a choice of where their money goes and I need not to start a thread that advocates the reason for wanting to see (or not to see) black tail. I am grateful and happy for the wonderful men who have seen me and enjoyed my brown skin.
Oh, and as far as the Sugar Daddy thing goes, you might want to read up on the
Black Sugar Babies of the 1700's who were also known as "Placées". Apparently, there were some gentlemen who needed a chocolate fix back then too.
