It doesn't mean my business is slow because I advertise on Backpage. It means I am smart enough not to depend on just one site for my income. If the FEDS shut down ECCIE tomorrow I will still be fine because I don't have all of my eggs in one basket. Also, ECCIE may be better from the clients' standpoint but not from mine. I actually get better clients from BP than here most of the time. They appreciate me more, spend more, actually tip, and I never have to worry about them grossly over staying their time or hanging the threat of a review over my head.

I do half hours, and i still don't see more than 2 clients a day! My living expenses make it so I'm great at my lower rate! I also think some are charging outrageous for what they look like, but if they are charging they must be getting business! So more power to them! This is my only income and all i can do is better myself to make the most of it while i can! I stay at the standard rates for a reason, I have overhead to pay, it sucks but part of this hobby life!!! Hell I'm going to be running some specials this week to get caught up!
End of the day, when things are good rates up, when things are slow specials! But never lower yourself to compete especially if you already have a great following and flawless body (such as you Kammye, very sexy), guys will come to see you regardless!

There was a time back in the old ASPD days and even in the early ECCIE days where I was like Antichrist....I had a great job that paid me well and I could see any provider I wanted. Then...life happened. I got divorced, for laid off from my job, had a death I'm my family, etc which led to me not having anywhere near the disposable income I was accustomed to.
Of course, despite everything that happened to me, I'm still horny and still want to try my best to stay in the game as much as economically feasible. For a short minute when I didn't have a job and was collecting unemployment, quality went out the window and budget became boss. That meant frequent trips to lower priced BP girls. I couldn't even try to contact an ECCIE provider. I didn't have the money to cover their donation rate.
When I finally started working again I was still no where near to making the income that I had previously. Now the focus was back on quality. It wasn't just quality, but also finding the best rate for quality service. When you and providers like yourself offer specials, you help out guys like me who want quality for a lower rate. There are providers here that I know I will never be able to see right now because they are out of my price range. It's kind of like the Houston Texans. They've priced the tickets so high that the average Joe can't afford to go to a game. Some providers are so high that the average Joe can't afford them. Some don't give a shit and aren't catering to the average Joe. But, there are some who do, like yourself, and I can definitely appreciate that.
So, I'm sure there are a few guys like me in here. Not that we don't want quality. We are just trying to find it at the best possible rate. Originally Posted by IceCreamMan
