The truth is that there are a lot of ladies who post often who could benefit from some of posts in these threads. Yes, the "lower your prices" posts are tiresome, but a lot of guys have posted insight on non-BCD ways to make a man a more satisfied customer.
Some providers have posted that they found the information valuable. I am sure that many more felt this way but didn't post.
While you are one of the rare people who have nothing left to learn about your profession, some of the more insightful posts are helping some of the providers.
In my industry, when it's apparent that there's a large pool of potential clients who are not happy with the service they have been receiving, my firm sees it as an opportunity. Instead of telling them to shut up and fuck off, we listen to them vent and use it to our advantage when marketing our services.

WALDT, baby....you've seen it before and I'm happy to reiterate that phrase as often as it takes.
Let me say it straight up....WE prefer to discuss our business with our own personal customers or each other, if at all. Definitely done with the a**hats who always have "THE RIGHT ANSWER", and are condescending to the ladies in CO-ED. Bet ya scratch your head in wonderment as to why more ladies don't post...hmmmm
Thanks for playin', though. It's always fun and exciting to see the SSDD.
And, btw...great fan of learning!! Always have been, always will be. Teach me something N E W. Also,I don't think I'm rare at all in my knowledge or attitude of this biz, rather I'm one of the few less beat down individuals who doesn't mind saying what she thinks and and can do so in a non condescending manner until provoked by what I feel is a condescending a**hat.
For those who are slow:
The keys words when addressing the ladies about their biz, are RESPECT, INDIVIDUAL and PERSONAL. We are not a specific product, each and every one of us is different. If you see a particular lady you'd like a particular service or fee from because she is not openly stating this is what she offers, ASK HER INDIVIDUALLY through some kind of contact if she is willing to do so for you. She may or may not be.
By all means share your insightful posts on what you like and don't like, but not your advice on what we should and shouldn't be doing or how much or little we should be charging. It will come as a shock to many, but we are actually capable of learning for ourselves what we like, can tolerate, don't like, and won't tolerate through trial and error and on the advice of those who are most likely to have our best interests at heart. This is not a straight forward business where we can provide a simple business model. Each and every one of us will have different attitudes and tolerances depending on what we've been through and/or subjected to by the more domineering gender.
Here's an example that might help: I saw that some gents would like a HH option. I offered it in my ads, did one HH. It made me feel like a drive thru. I won't offer it again. I don't feel I can be my best doing this, so I don't do it. Others do and kuddos to them. They can tolerate and maybe even enjoy it....I don't.
But, hey...start another thread about it. I'll put on my southern charm and kiss everyone's backside and thank them over and over and over again for non-solicited advice and for slamming my "sisters" because they are all not up to each and every single individual male's standards. I'll even feign shock and horror if one of them has the audacity to share what actually goes on and how they feel about it.
