Berlin, still not worth it.
Way too much. Yea, she's a good looking woman. But she's the most unreliable girl in the area. Too many better options for a more reasonable price. Don't waste your time on this flaky chic, she's not worth it!
[QUOTE=RaulJulia;6792716]Thanks for the positive comments on my review and for the feedback both on the board and through DMs. My motivation for posting the donation amount Berlin requested was because we've had recent commentary on here about reviews being too vague, which I can understand (though I still don't feel it's necessary to share every detail) and because I knew I'd get a lot of DMs with exactly that question if I didn't share that info. The rates she quoted me were $240/ hhr and $400/ hr. I debated about not including that info, not because I don't think it's relevant. After all, it's one of the things we mongers most want to know. But because I didn't want to hurt Berlin's business or deter anyone from reaching out to her and knowing those rates were high, I felt like posting them might do exactly that. However, she's a gem and I enjoyed myself a lot. I don't think that's "white knighting" since I've only seen her once and am not sure when or even if I'll see her again. I just try to be a nice guy as much as possible. Having said that though, I don't want to come across as if I think the donation amount is insignificant. I'm a man of very limited means, so yeah, it matters to me a lot. I'm hopeful that perhaps someone who knows Berlin better can persuade her that she could actually increase her business by bringing her rates more in line with others. Some have reached out to me and suggested I could've / should've negotiated for a better rate (which is probably true) and I could've possibly gotten more for the quoted rate (I guess only Berlin knows that). I'll never claim to be a great negotiator and since it was my first time seeing Berlin, I didn't want to kill the mood or come across the wrong way. Ultimately though, if these providers can get a given rate, I can't blame them for asking (though sometimes I just have to laugh when I see some of the rates for the touring ladies on Tryst. One provider on Tryst wants a $600 deposit! Give me a break!) But we each have to decide what we're comfortable paying and what we can afford. If she would've had those rates posted in an ad for the service provided, then I may have decided to pass. But given her great reviews, I wanted to take the plunge. As it stands, I'm glad I did. As always, YMMV. --RJ.[/QUOTE]
