Lisa Lisa 0302 thread on grandfathering got me to thinking. What is a regular in your eyes ? I am sure there are hobbiest who might think they are but in actuality they are not and vice versa. So Ladies blast away and hopefully us hobbiest can learn something new Originally Posted by Thatdude
I have one arrangement/travel companion I have seen for over 4 years.berkleigh, thanks for posting your thoughts. i was wondering how some people were merging frequency with grandfathering. i think you described what i've been thinking - they are separate but related.
I also have several that I have seen since 2006 and recently a handful over the last 2 years for each city I travel to in Texas.
I offer extended hours to these and other activities for their valued loyalty Originally Posted by berkleigh
it looks like the definition of a established, repeat, and regular client involves how frequently a guy consults with a woman.
i like Italiana Princess' criteria. ..... almost as much as i like her avatar [you should see them in person, tho i'm only an established client w/ her].
except for you, no one has discussed longevity of consultations.
up til last summer, i consulted with one woman since 2004!! lat summer, she moved to the pacific NW. i have consulted w/ another woman since 2004 and several since 2008 and 2009. i'm established, but i rarely consulted with them repeatedly or regularly [once a month or two -or- once a week, respectively]. usually about once every three or so months. however, it's been a looooooooong time since i began consulting with them!
and except for you, no one has discussed how frequency or longevity relates to grandfathering. some women grandfather [based on various criteria], some women dont.
and if a woman does offer grandfathering, just like any other consulting skill, a guy shouldnt assume or demand that he get grandfathered just cos he's a frequent visitor.
cases in point :
a) the women that moved to the NW - she gave me extra time when i visited her and was extremely flexible about meeting times, locations, & a few other things. but she never grandfathered me cos she never raised her published rates in all those years.
b) the other woman actually lowered her consulting rate after she left Private Connection before Gina closed up shop. so, again, no grandfathering.
c) many of the women i consult with now are also extremely flexible about meeting times, locations, and consulting fees for multihour sessions. but, again, none have raised their rates in 2-3 yrs. and thus, no grandfathering.
i would say that they are being flexible and "rewarding" towards me because i am a loyal, respectful, and deliteful customer! not because i got grandfathered [my step-daughter gave me grandkids] nor because i am a handsome stud, bring loads of gifts, take them out to eat at the mansion every visit, etc.
but since grandfathering is a competitive rewarding concept [almost like intellectual property], i can see where some providers wouldn't want to publish/share that. but it would be nice to have a "standard" definition for frequency. and it would be nice if the woman told me how my frequency might get rewarded - fringe benefits and/or grandfathering, and how long they would last [like frequent flier miles].
thus, if a guy visits a woman frequently, he may or may not get offered grandfather rates should she raise her fees. and he can choose to adjust his frequency up or down.
and, if a guy visits a woman many times over a longer time period [1+ yrs], he may or may not get addtl consulting hrs or fringe benefits not advertised to the rest of the guys here. and he can choose to adjust his frequency up or down.
me, i'll stick w/ being loyal.
