There are many dynamics to this hobby. It's no exact science in any way. I've seen $300 girls that I didn't want to see again afterwards. I've seen $300 girls that I wanted to tip afterwards (she turned it down, actually). Let me ask this: does a guy need to make high 5 or 6-figure salary to enjoy this hobby? $300 an hour is a lot of fucking money. I'm using 300 as an arbitrary number, btw. Many would say $200 an hour is a lot. My point is, you ladies are making a LOT of money per hour to do an unskilled 'job'. Don't get your panties in a wad over the word 'unskilled'. It simply means that you didn't go to a certification school or college or have some kind of documented training on your job (unless there's a Provider University out there
). People who make this kind of money are those who have invested in their crafts in some way. 4 years of school or more, paid for some kind of certification, or something of the like. Many times they had to invest or get someone to invest in them, which means they took a gamble that they would get paid on the back end of learning this trade.
Providers, on the other hand, can just wake up one morning and say, "I want to charge $____", to do something that is natural. To defend pro athletes for a second, they've spent years investing in their ability to make the money they make. I would agree that they make too money to play games, but I'm not the one paying the money...not directly. If I had to pay a player say, $500 out of pocket to get him to shoot a basketball or throw a football, I'd be like, "to hell with that", because it's not something that I need directly. As far as the hobby goes, getting on top of a woman occasionally, I feel like it's something that I 'need' from time to time. When I do, I need you to be hot. If you're going to charge that kind of money, I need to have a hell of a time.
The problem with this business and 'upper tier' operations is, how I do say this...umm, timing, I guess. With BP, it's more 'fast food' kinda, not that that's bad all the time. BP has its flaws, but I don't like to bag on it all the time. The problem with BP parallels with the strength of it: ease of arrangements. Here's my point. I really don't like to wait 3 days to see someone, or whatever the delay time on the screening process is. I have a semi-erection right now, and when I call or text or pm you, I most likely want to see you within the hour, or two if you need a little bit of time. I don't know how I'm going to feel 3 days from now, or even tomorrow. I may not have the time. I just looked at your showcase, and it got me going. Now, if I'm flying into town 3 days from now, OK, sure. Let's make arrangements. But if you live 15-20 miles away from me, why can't we set something up in a couple hours? I know it doesn't always take 3 days to screen. I'm simply trying to make a point of emphasis on spontaneity. Some guys need it quicker than others.
I'm not trying to lessen the importance of screening, but if I'm not a newbie, why would it take so long to get through this process? This is where board persona I think should count for something, if applicable. I know there's a lot of range on personalities of guys here. Good, bad, great to terrible. Is hobby persona part of screening? I'm pretty sure it is. I ask, does every good, charming hobbyist make a lot of money, where they can shred 300 bucks and laugh? Probably not. Here's a news flash. Not everyone makes a lot of money. Now, does that mean they're not entitled to have some sexual fun? There's an audience that LOVES to say, "If you can't afford to hobby then you shouldn't be here." To that I say, 'fuck off' if you think that way, because to me it's a way to demean and discourage people who make less money than you. This is a perfect microcosm of this society, which says, "If you don't make the kind of money I make, then go away and die." Everybody needs to get a lil bit every now and then, and you shouldn't have to be a millionaire or high-thousandaire to get some.
This circles back to my original point. If you're charging that kind of money (anything over 200, IMO), then you need to have the body and provide the services that the guy is expecting based on what he sees in pictures and showcases. Hell, if you're charging even $100 an hour, and you have pics that says you look like Cameron Diaz or Jessica Biel, then you better fucking look like Cameron and Jessica. Using fake pics fuck up the game because now you've created expectations that aren't there. Now the guy feels like he's wasting his money...and time. Time IS money, especially when you have to work all week (not one hour) to make it.
As far as bargaining goes, I don't do it. If I contact you for an appointment, it means I've agreed to your rates (unless I'm asking for your rates, which is something I shouldn't have to fucking do because you should post your fucking rates so's we're not talking about MONEY in this fucking business!!).
I can go on for days on this, but I'm to stop here because I want someone to actually read this shit. I may add more in another post. Sorry for this being so long. i have a lot on my mind these days.
