A question for the guys...

Only time I take a Lesser Rate is when I'm helping out a Client that is a constant regular or running a special.

But honestly most guys ask bc they think you have a Special going or weighing their options with other girls they've asked before you.

Trust me majority of men usually have a back up girl just incase you shoot down the offer.

I dont take Offense by it though bc Honestly I would do the same lol I'm a Bargain shopper and I weigh my options before I buy

but in turn if same gentleman asked in a respectful manner " hey i always wanted to see you but i can't afford your rates any chance of you doing 100 / 200 /250 if your slow today / this week / this month" then it is crude and degrading.

i get women and their bodies are not hunks of metal or parcels of land but argument must work both ways.

Ok, but if and when you have a $1,500 repair job, I don't want to see any bartering posts from those of you that feel so strongly about this, because it's the same thing.

Just saying.

Do you take coupons?

It is the same, genius. Spare me the math. It's the fact that she doesn't want to pay the advertised rate of the person doing the repairs. $900 of that, or even more, could be in the cost of parts alone. That mechanic can't feed himself by taking blowjobs in place of actual payments.

Tell you what. Run YOUR business by the barter system and see how long you last.

Why do some guys feel like it’s okay to negotiate donations? If you can’t afford the 300 for my hour then maybe you should find someone else. I have it stated clearly in my ad that any attempt to negotiate my rates will end all communication and put on a DNS list. I just don’t understand why. Any insight?

Like I said in my post, that is all said in my ad and in my showcase. It’s not my responsibility to re-say something that I’ve already said multiple times because these guys aren’t reading. Originally Posted by Tiffany Ryder

More than I should but you need to to put No exceptions or say you will be put on DNS if any negotiations..

It's not that serious & this thread wasn't the smartest..

Since blowjobs aren't essential to life, their necessity value is nil. However, if the repairman was bartering for food (a farmer or market), he could feed himself. If he was bartering with a doctor, he could be cured of what ails him, allowing him to work more efficiently. But if the mechanic can pay his bills, feed his family, and pay the Dr., he may barter for those blowjobs that he's not getting at home. Or he can just come here and pay directly. Either way, he's fed and getting blowjobs.

No, bartering is negotiating for a DIFFERENT price. Whether it ends up providing more or less value than originally requested is dependent on several arbitrary factors not germane to this discussion.

She's paying the advertised rate, just not with money.

Lol. This statement means she IS NOT paying the advertised rate.

If her service has a value to the mechanic, it's his choice how much & whether to accept.

Right. So it's okay for HER to offer HIM other than what he advertises as HIS service rate, but it's not okay for HIM to offer HER other than what SHE advertises as HER service rate?

Is that the position you're taking? Want to rethink it? Or better yet, why not "think it" for the first time? Originally Posted by papadee

Bartering is a different form of payment. $300 worth of "X" for $300 worth of "Y".
The fact that both parties have to agree what constitutes "equal value" is secondary to the fact that they agreed to "equal value".

Money isn't the only form of payment

Of course it's OK, as long as it's "equal in value". She's (or he's) not offering less than the rate. She's offering him his advertised rate in payment other than cash.

So you claim open bartering (ie, not in an exclusive bartering community) is not negotiating?
