Some girls need a lesson on pricing.

Well this post started off promising, but your logic is a bit flawed.

Let's look at your own example. If Nordstroms is selling the exact same product for $200 that Marshalls is for $140, where do you think more people will go? Originally Posted by thatdude210

And speaking of flaws...I don't think CG4U has one

Easy enough to reply to this as i will try to keep it in the "dumbed down version" catagory lol.

Your supply and demand portion of your thread is a tad weak mainly because you are only stating one of the four laws. You are looking at it as if you are going to Wal-Mart and picking up milk; however, that is not the case. If there is a limited supply (such as the amount of girls willing to see you after your post) then the price becomes higher due to the demand remaining the same. Basic economics apply to most things when taking into consideration the nature of the business. I.E. Try walking into Nordstrom and telling them if they lower the price of a designer fragrance, they would sell more....Their validated response would be: "Sir we don't need to lower prices if enough people are willing to purchase it at the current price"

I did though enjoy your post nonetheless, it's always refreshing when one tries to dumb down others in the most ineffective manner. Next time YOU google supply and demand make sure to read more then one sentence on the subject matter and you won't seem so pompous.

I wish you the very best and hope you can find your Wal-Mart girl! In the mean time save your lecture for individuals who are simple enough to buy into it. Kisses Originally Posted by collegegirlforyou

Economic laws simply don't apply here. In what endeavor do you have a great product, sell it and wham, you still got it! And ladies, come on really, a flower? More like a Timex, takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Dude expressed his point without singling out any one person and has replied in a gentlemanly fashion. If what he had to say doesn't apply in your case, ignore it. You know the old saw about "those who can do and those who can't, teach". Sometimes, in a weak moment, we assume we know what's best for others and while we are switching one foot for the other, a few pearls will slip from our mouths. Ladies no one knows your business like you, so I agree it is probably pointless, especially for a man to try and give you advice. I will admit that I am a tireless Walmart shopper and have never been in a Nordstroms. However, I also have never asked a lady to adjust her valuation for services. Nothing personal, my "business" model works for me and I assume yours works for you. No harm, no foul!

And I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the "supply" here isn't limited. There are limitless providers and competition. So taking that into consideration would behoove providers. Originally Posted by thatdude210

Merry Christmas

You obviously don't know very much about being a provider do you? Until you've actually been one of us for many years...you probably shouldn't be so arrogant about a topic...you don't understand one iota about. Originally Posted by Likinikki

Wow = talk about a dog pile. It has been entertaining reading all of this.

Thatdude210 - Your math is correct but your analysis is way to simplistic. There are numerous variables that you left out which is why you got the response you did. I hope you put more thought into advising your clients.

CG4U - I am in lust - Thank god we already have plans. Smart is so HOT.

Well, I am the only me, Pepper. So technically, I am a limited supply of me

But with your energy that is one hell of a supply!

schooled for sure!!!

I agree with Laz, with this type of thinking, how in the hell do your clients listen to you and actually pay you...you may be the one over charging for services. So, Your blessed financially, well good, that's nice to know, because now all of us ladies, know that you have the means to pay for our time and services! You don't like to over pay, am I reading this correctly? Are you saying that you feel that all of us over charge for our time and services? Wow, who are you to be the judge of that? If you feel that we over charge for our time and services, maybe you should go somewhere else and look for a lady that fits your budget. Seriously dude, after this thread, even if you could come up with cash to visit with any of us, I doubt that you would have any luck scheduling some time and services with any of us! This thread is just ugly to say the least. Did you really create this thread to honestly suggest to us how to make as much money as possible or did you create it hoping that some of us would take the advice and lower our rates so that you could benefit from your suggestion? You dont think that seeing 10 people a week versus 5 a week(you example) would be the difference between a flower staying in tact and it not staying in tact, really, do you own a flower? Are you a gynecologist? As a dude, how in the hell would you know anything about flowers? I think that this thread is disrespectful to all of us ladies! It would be one thing if a lady posted asking for this type of financial advice but it quite another thing when some random a**dude comes in with a financial suggestion or theory that none of us ladies asked for. Bottom line, if we are not in your hobby budget, there are plenty other places you can go to find ladies who do fit "the hobby budget" and quite honestly as I said after this thread, you may have to frequent those places!

Lol na, I'm good. Luckily I'm blessed and don't need the extra cash. I just don't like to overpay.

In fairness though, I'm not trying to offend any provider. My suggestion was just for those who want to make as much money as possible. If that's not you, then this thread doesn't apply to you. I don't think seeing 10 people a week versus 5 a week (my example) would be the difference between a flower staying in tact and it not staying in tact. Originally Posted by thatdude210

Stalkers, Creeps, L.E.) ? That doesn't make any sense in a rational train of thought. Does it? What make you think more clients equals better quality of life for a provider? There are plenty of classy gentlemen not complaining about our rates to keep us plenty busy without having to deal with gentlemen that want to look at the hobby as if it's a flea market

Again, please don't break down my example by saying something like "well if provider A dipped her prices by 25% and expanded her hours by 15% and yada yada yada....." it's an example. Originally Posted by collegegirlforyou

I seldom comment on the board, but nonetheless practice my due diligence from time to time-this thread was just too cute (yes, "cute"-as in bball-shoes-for-infants/miniature-pony/"omg, it's just sooo soft and fuzzy it belongs under MY tree" c-u-t-e) to pass by...by the way, any of you femmes seen the video Gina recently linked on p411?....the one starring "Mr. Hobby"? Oh, so apropos

If interested, I will PM link (it's a Fuuuuuunny, lol).

[quote=thatdude210;1954669]So, I'll take it upon myself to lay out a few:

1) A massage+ is not the same thing as FS, so you should stop pricing them both as if they were. If you charge $120 for FS or even CBJ, you should probably charge about $60-$90 for a massage+.


I'm only willing to make a comment on the first part of OP's post.

In my opinion and my opinion only, he is discussing the level of effort vs compensense for time.

An hour is an hour and with valuation set by the service provider.

Maybe we can agree that some providers are flat rate, all inclusive. Others charge by the hour and have different service levels.

Could it be that the OP is asking if a basic charge is $$ for all inclusive or specified service, would some providers agree to a time charge for a service of 'lesser' effort?

We have seen this type of question before "How much just for DATY?" "How about just a BnG?" "How about if you just flash me your tits?"

To misquote a movie "Fuck the cup, just pour it in my hand."

Simple answer - "No. My rates are..."

This post never started off promising! I do not know where you got the illusion that this post started off promising! I am trying so hard to be respectful because "rule number 3" says I have to be respectful of others, but, I am going to say this, you are some cheap random a** dude, who apparently has spent way too much time visiting cheap random a** places. If you are sick of the cheap a** places and the cheap a** services that you have been receiving from those places and would now like to up grade to a better quality of ladies and services, dude, get a second or third job so that you will have enough "hobby money" to afford the better quality that you want to upgrade to. Seriously, don't come on here suggesting that any of us ladies should lower our rates for our time and services for you or any other cheap a**! The truth is that you did not come on here with the intention of helping us with financial advice. You came on here and gave us some lame a** advice for your own gain and hoping that other gentlemen would back you up on this advice! Do not disrespect ((CGFY)) by telling her that her logic is a bit flawed when in reality it's your logic that is flawed and many have tried to point that out to you..get it? Obviously there is not too much support on your behalf from our gentlemen on this board which goes to show that we have some great gentlemen on this board that do not mind shopping for better quality at Nordstroms when there is a sell at Marshalls so do not speak on their behalf! Though SA may not have a limited supply of providers, and yes there is competition, we all make our money and we are quite happy with the friends that we have on this board and the amount of money that we get for our time and services! We have been making friends and good money before you brought your flawed logic to this board so take the logic else where! I want to apologize for being so rude but the truth is that I can not apologize for being rude because I think this post that you started is pretty rude...you must have a set of big over sized balls that sag to your feet!

When I turned out in 1984, a 30 minute FS session was $100. The "high priced" girls charged $150, and this was on the street!

Just a interesting tidbit of info.

Always,
