If I may chime in...
First Toyz I think you started this thread as entertainment. I would find it very hard to believe it was meant as a mean spirited jab, or negative in any way. That said, I don't think he went out of his way to put a positive spin on it either. Neither action is his responsibility.
I believe you started this thread to start a conversation on the value of service, in a light and fun manner.
Centar, I think you have a valid point that some women use price as a filtering tool. While I agree that is valid, it is outside the topic of value of service which is the core of this thread. I would suggest you start a new thread if a discussion of such interests you. I have thoughts on that topic and would gladly participate.
The back and forth between you two; I posit servers no function other than make you both look like the lesser man.
