Well guys, Lafayette and Lake Charles, let me know if there is enough interest in each place and if I can get enough pre-bookings (doesn't take many), I'll try to visit both cities!!!

Dallas - I have lots of fun no matter where I visit!!!!

Geddon, there are alot of great traveling providers that go to BR. If your in Lafayette that drive isn't that bad, even after a tough day at work. I live were weather you go to Lafeyette, Baton Rouge are New Orelans its at least a 1.5 hour drive. You need to get to know a few girls,perferabley a angency that has great girls that are worth traveling for, but i have always said you pay for what you get. You need to be willing to make the effort to give them a shot and you won't be dissapointed. I won't name the agency i use because alot of these guys don't like the priceing and thats why i don't review much, only review the local talent now but none have really knocked my socks off yet. You are paying for something better than the normal so go get it. If you would like to know the angency i use pm me and i will give you the in's and outs. I like lurking on here just to see whats in town there might be a shineing star come throuhg that not on P411 but for the most part 90% of these women are flakes and talk a big game but when you are ready for tip off they choke, like LaBron. And don't mess with the ELFS, thats just crazy there. I know this might piss some people off but oh well speaking from experience.

Also, Lafayette is not "user friendly" so to speak. The hotels are not horrible, but not great. For me, nowhere to jog. Baton Rouge has LSU. But, even if we have enough bookings when we go, if we cannot stay long enough to average out what we need to make then it costs us money!! We know you have lives, but so do we and we cannot get any of our own work done when it is constantly interrupted by last minute scheduling or flakiness--even when guys fill slots that others have vacated-- which probably happens to most good providers. It eats up our productive time.

So if a good provider like me or Dallas, or many others can make an assured amount of money a short drive away or live with the stress of weird flaky scheduling (hmm, I wonder WHY, maybe some people let this behavior slide) guess what is going to happen?

In the city (NOLA) we may not be able to extend our room to make our money. There are endless reasons and we would all be better off if we could schedule better.

I have a good time when I come here. The one and only problem I have in Baton Rouge are guys contacting me and asking me "whats up with that 60 dollar special". "Whats with that quickie", because 20 other ladies are charging that. Im confused because I don't see a special in my ads or website. So why are they asking.

Guys asking for 15 minute quickies, and half hour and want a deal. I completely understand that most ladies on backpage are advertising this, they seem so cheerful offering their 60 dollar special, they smile in the camera and everything, but not all providers are providing a service for that cheap.


After two days of that, you would want to put on your sneakers and pack your bag and go home.

the thread was started about finding quality providers and looks like it should have been aimed at both genders...... obviously both sides have there issues.......the ladies are making excellent arguments....on another board one time about a year ago i started a thread (out of frustration ) about why ladies will advertise and then not respond when contacted.....there were 2 ladies in particular, at that time, that advertised in my area that i sent a request to....one ,,,,after about the 3rd time did respond and told me she had decided not to come to the area for lack of interest......the other , after several attempts, still advertising here,,,,,STILL has not responded.....ladies....?????. ... what do we do about this...... continue to contact you are write you off.....

In my experience, being a business owner, clients, customers, 10% of the people can be very irritating to say the least, but I chose to look at it as a cost of doing business and not let those people ruin my day, just me. Some customers want the red carpet treatment everyday while paying for coach seats, I cannot run any business in that fashion and I am honest with them and explain my dilemma, usually they understand and if they do not, well, I am fortunate that I can decide to drop that person as a client or customer.

I get asked frequently to cut deals, I again just explain our terms and if that is unacceptable I am not offended and have a nice day. Some clients do NC/NS with me, again just a cost of doing business. I am fortunate that I make good money and I decide not to let other people's inconsideration disturb my day. Earlier this week I drove to a potential new client's house as she was too weak and old to come to the office. Prior to the appt. she did not answer her phone and I drove out anyway, fully aware that i may not be meeting with anyone, and you guessd it, she did not answer her door and I drove back to office. No big deal, she never returned any calls and I am done with her, simple. Just a cost of being a business owner. I do sometimes fantasize about how great the world would be if ALL my clients acted and did the things I wanted them too, but that is fantasy and I try to stay based in reality. I cannot control how others act, but I can control how I chose to allow their actions to effect me and my reactions. Just me.

Same principle with meeting providers, I do not sweat the small stuff, just me. I have had a lady insist on getting my employment info, I said very kindly "No, I never give that info out, sorry. If that is a deal breaker for you than so be it, I wish you all the prosperity, fun, and enjoyment our city has to offer. I understand your need to feel comfortable and if I do not meet your criteria have a good day." She would not see me and we ended our conversation very politely and very good terms, such good terms that she contacted when she came back to NOLA. I have never seen her BCD, but I will help her with info on the area. Just me though.

I do not appreciate being told false statements and when a lady does that i fullfill my obligation with the session but I never repeat. If I do not like the attitude, service, etc. I am still a gentleman and fulfill my obligation but I do my talking with my wallet with these ladies, if anyone has read my reviews I am a repeat client and I do long engagements, dinner dates, and overnighters (some of you ladies are just too far away though) and that means $$ in any business.

Did not mean to write a book, maybe I should have put this in a rhyme, lol. (Glad some of you enjoyed my Dr. Suess joke).

Just my .02 cents.
