dallasfan, according to your profile, you joined on Mar 22, 2013.
so i will cut you some slack, just a little.
because this has been discussed again, again, and again.
and prolly will be discussed some more.
[i wont say debated because a debate has to have two or more side arguing a point
- something i dont see here]
bottom line:
THE WOMEN TCB how they want, charge what they want, and do what they want. period, end of sentence.
The Men select and setup how they want, pay what they want, and do what they want. period, end of sentence.
period, end of discussion.
but, for sake of discussion, you might want to read on.
but it'll wind up at the same place.
... Just seems like a messed up cost structure.

I dunno. I just hate bad math. For those providers still reading . . . please divide your price by the number of minutes included. The price per minute number should either be the same (no discount for multiple hours), or lower (discounts to encourage multiple hours) as the time increases. If not, you're doing something wrong.

i can understand if you hate bad math.
but just cos you dont understand a provider's fee structure does NOT make it bad math.
and just cos you put an equation to some fee structure and it doesnt make sense to you, that does NOT make it wrong.
how come McDonalds et. al. charge $1 for a burger when they all know their costs are more than that??
is that bad math? is that wrong??
[folks, i am NOT attempting to liken any provider's fees to MickeyDs prices!!]
If the intent is to discourage outcalls, I understand completely. Clearly, if things are thought out properly, you price your services to your preferences (though other than the lovely BSB, Kaci, and Samantha, there are a lot of girls who I strongly suspect haven't given it a second thought).
On the other hand (and please pardon me if I pick on you a little, Samantha), your profile shows that your willing to visit a gentleman for an hour at their residence for an additional $50/hour. Is it really more time to drive there, more traffic hassle if you stay 4 hours rather than 1 hour? There is no additional commitment (other than the comfort zone issue) for a multi-hour stay than there is for a single hour. It seems, if you're willing to make a visit for an additional $50, that ought to be a flat fee, rather than an hourly charge.
Still, what you ladies choose to charge is your business. Frankly, I think we're lucky to see you ladies any way you look at it. It's probably just the math major in me rearing its ugly head.
I know it's completely off topic, but I also have to add that I love you in that grey dress in your profile, Samantha! You're lovely.

b) since you now agree that it's their choice on how to run their business,
just let it be!!
once you have been a provider for sometime, you can discuss w/ them about their biz model.
quit your fucking whining chewtoy. bet you're an an accountant or something.

you posts read like a kind of whining to me.
at least a kind of complaining. or a bitching or a "why do i have to pay their fees??"
Wondering why is futile. It is a ladies business and not ours. Its up to us as gents if we want to follow her rules or not.

imho, that time could be better spent finding a provider to spend some intimate delites with!!!
bottom line:
THE WOMEN charge what they [or their "manager"] want and do what they want. period, end of sentence.
The Men pay what they want and do what they want. period, end of sentence.
period, end of statements of fact.
[see? i told you it would end up at the same place
