My experiences with agencies always felt like I was paying two people. There was a 'walking in the door' fee, which varies depending on the agency. The worst of them would basically bait you in with what appeared to simply be a cheap hourly rate (say $.25). Turns out that's the 'agency fee'. The girl that shows up wants her 'tip', which ends up being HER hourly rate. Now here we are, paying anywhere from $$.50 to $$$ or more for a one pop, in and out, door to door (without freshening up), half ass service plus attitude, 'it's been 3 min...you haven't cum YET?' kinda of girls, the kind that give the business a horrible name. This is exactly the reason why I stopped going through agencies. This was years ago. Haven't been back since, and have no plans to go back.
Too many great, hassle free independents out there (like Kaci ).
