Why am I running into providers who want to charge clients for references???

Heck you don't even have to ask me if you can use me as your refes.
I'll give out refes for anyone I have seen for free. Originally Posted by LustyBustyGina38FF

The quality of providers is definitely NOT the same as it use to be.
It is quite a shame!! Glad to see some of the good ones are still out there, but definitely a dying breed.

Capitalist economy much ? Google charges companies for referring people to their site. Same here. These women want a cut of the date fee...more like date facilitator fee.

Is it fair, may be not...but again its their business, they can charge for whatever they want....used panties sell for a higher fee than a clean un-used panties.

They can do what they want to do.. this is true. No one can tell a lady what they can and cant do, charge for or w/e. But, there should be a warning for them. Charge for something as simple as a referral (you know.. something that was meant to keep everyone safe), this is going to be considered FAFO for me (and Im going to guess a lot of guys). Come to me and tell me pay me 50/100/whatever to give this referral, Ima tell you congrats, you just lost any future visits from me. Was trying to squeeze that little bit of money worth it in the long run? Nope but thats on you.
That's just stupid greedy bitches.

As much as I hate to say it but I have to agree with WEC.

Those of us that are still in this "hobby" for the "hobby" is getting smaller and smaller. Originally Posted by The Queen Sophie

It makes no sense, especially among the ladies. It's a professional courtesy. It's better to say no, or you only do it for friends. Charging for it kinda takes away from the credibility of the reference

Many providers think that because they are providers, they can charge for everything, including references.

The only type of guy who will pay a provider for references is a guy who needs a reference but will not see another provider who is reference friendly or he is paying trying to skirt a particular provider's screening.
My bet is they are mad the guy is not returning to them and seeing a hot lady like Jessica instead.

Maybe they are following the airline pricing strategy LOL ! Initial Unbundled fares - and then seat assignment is extra, early boarding is extra, premium+ legroom seat is extra , checked bag fee extra etc etc !

What's that old saying here? If you can't pay the rate, move on! Not bitch about it........ tricks been hearing this for years, but when the tables turn 😂. Don't they call the tricks cheap, who's cheap now

Another reason why p411 is the easiest way to go. Everything a provider needs is right there for them to see.
