Negotiate for the intimacy that these ladies share with us?
Insulting, ridiculous, disrespectful and just plain rude.
If I can't afford the lady I want, I either save a little more or I find someone else. Originally Posted by micktoz

Otherwise I pay what's listed. One friend gave me 90 for $350 for a long time, raised to 2 hour $600 - I paid that and afterward quietly inquired about our old deal and was told it's still 2 hours for 6.... her privilege - my right to go elsewhere. Originally Posted by mtabsw
In the Hobby, never. Just like with my Dr, Lawyer, Dentist, and those trades, services, and similar where I want professional quality.Of course you don't negotiate with a doctor or dentist you have health insurance to do that for you. And the lawyer you hired is without a doubt over billing you for works worked. Do you pay an ambulance chasing shyster lawyer the same as an ivy league lawyer?
Hope my few words explain. Originally Posted by doug_dfw

Then again, when it's rent week and they don't run specials, the competition is fierce and who knows. Originally Posted by Von Spieler

Not that some men care how they make women feel, despite how women in or out of the hobby might go out of their way to make them feel. I understand why that is, but it changes nothing as far as feeling like you are hanging with someone who has no compassion, takes advantage even, or brags about his dealings. I kinda understand why some men have the need to hobby and their SOs and wives cut them off. If a gent has the audacity and ability to make a lady feel she is less than she says she is worth in only a couple of correspondences and an appointment, then how must the lady he spends most of his time with feel? I'd love to do a social study concerning this...LOL Originally Posted by MaxiMilyen
