Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

[QUOTE=Cheech1;2021191]Lila firstly has the right to charge whatever rate she wants to and feels she can get. Us guys have the right to pay that rate or not, as we choose, but no one has the right to tell her what she should charge. Remember the fable about the fox and the grapes. Second, she has the right to decide who she wants to see, and has the right to discriminate as she chooses. Quit whining.

The economics of this business are such that if a girl can get 500 an hour, and gets 2 or 3 hours work a week, she can live very well if she doesn't have exorbitant tastes. Working 3 hours a week for her is 6 grand a month, tax free, which for most of us would require making 8 or 9 grand taxable. And I don't begrudge her a dime of it. Remember she's probably not going to get to work till she's 65 and then retire with a pension. Quit whining. Or do some of you folks want the government to mandate that working girls have a maximum wage?

Cheech.[/QUOTE]I totally agree with you. I really don't understand what all the commotion is about. One of the first things that is taught in economics is that the way to allocate scarce resources (her time and attention) is through price rationing. If Lila's price is way outside what the market will bear she will have very few takers. Since there have been so many comments about whether she is worth it, I broke down and looked up her pictures. She is very attractive, and that is saying a lot coming from someone who vastly prefers much darker hair and much larger breasts. While her price is way out of my league, I suspect that she will do just fine here in spite of all the naysayers.

Just wow, ladies do you now understand why I always tell you that you can't win these fights?

[QUOTE=LilaBella;2022012]It's clear you are either irritated that you can't afford me, and my rates are very much intended to keep those like you away from ladies like me, or you're afraid I will inspire others to raise their rates. Either way, you have never met me, and never will. Like, what is your personal problem with me? You are wayyyyy to wrapped up in me and my business. What do you think my rebuttal would say to you? Did you think I'd offer you a gratis visit or something? I can't tell you how many PMs I've received making fun of all I the whiny little school girls in here complaining about me when they've never met me. Your belly aching serves no purpose. Yes, you're right, I'm a legend in my own mind...I guess I wrote all my own reviews too. Ooooh! You told me!

Lila Bella.[/QUOTE]Hey come to Memphis. Ask Sinful Dreams. She knows me well. I can afford you. Get in front of my camera. Looking forward to it. The outsider.

Lila Bella.[/QUOTE]As a famous president once said Now there you go again, I just expressed my opinion on what was being said by more than just me, but it does seem that I hit a nerve, at 500 a pop I wouldn't expect you to help a little old lady across the street for free, let alone give somebody a discount or god forbid something free, that's just the kind of person you seem to be. Me, Me, Me you are so wrapped up in you that you don't even get it. You got Pm's? Who gives a shit & as far as your reviews I've yet to see any. But you're peddling your wares in so many cities and states some bodies bound to bite, now Ms hotter than cat shit on a sunny August day leave me alone I don't want to see you and never did I've been on this site longer than you and I do remember when you weren't posting so me not having any involvement with you won't bother me one bit. You'll be alright, there are still about 45-46 more states you haven't posted in if you start now you'll have them all covered by morning. Good Night and may god bless. HL29.

[QUOTE=LilaBella;2022001]I have the exact same cancellation policy as Sinful Dream. But since you appear to be the expert on my life and my business why don't you tell me what I should do if I cancel...cut the whining out already! You're childish, endless complaining is exhausting and serves zero purpose...[/QUOTE]Ok, you ask. We have all had providers cancel and leave us waiting, even high end providers. Yes our time is as valuable as yours. I would expect the same from you as your requesting or off the next rescheduled appointment. Yes I have been with providers that ask the same donation, and would again? Yes.

I do not complain about your donation, I do not make judgement on that until after I have been with a provider. And as you say it is ours to pay or stay away and your right to ask. I respect that.

[QUOTE=LilaBella;2021784]Just goes to show you that you have never had a $300 vagina if you believe a vagina is a vagina. Is Walmart a Macy's because it's all shopping? Is jewelry from KMart the same quality as Tiffany & Co.? No. Even I spend the extra $20 for the same item to go to Target instead of Walmart. It's not about the item necessarily, it's about the entire experience. And yes, a 26 year old airhead looking for her next meth fix for $100 an hour is not the same as a true lady that can hold an intelligent conversation before she makes his eyes roll into the back of his head for $300 an hour...maybe you don't need the conversation. Maybe you're happy with the providers you see. Perfectly fine with me. I also don't publicly comment on your choice of rate you prefer or your providers of choice so why is it that you take time to comment on my choice of rate or my type of preferred client?

And I would LOVE to know how I come off as racist...you're really reaching now sugar. So does that make providers that have an age limitation on their clientele a snotty girl? Please, find something better to do with your day than bash a provider you have never met and never will meet.

Lila Bella.[/QUOTE]Just to let you know when I'm shopping for myself I never shop at Walmart, and you're far from Tiffany's, and Archie Bunker always said he wasn't a racist. You put your preference in regard to color in your ad there has to be a reason, either you don't think black men can afford you or you think black men will rob you or you just don't like black men period either way you put it out there first I just piggy backed. So we can keep this going or you can go on with what you're doing but the more you talk the more people see.

To the all the ladys out there, just remember the golden rule. He who has the gold rules. That means us. There is more good pussy in Cincy than days of week and more than any other city in OH. You want to pick a fight with us, you are pissing into the wind. Lilabilly will be gone soon enough.

Seems like this cat-dog fight about rates and value is going to wind down soon. We need another good topic to start up.

Three cheers for A2 for building the OCTAGON. A place where. When I'm bored- I can always come for first rate interactive entertainment.

Maybe this photo of Lexi will help get our minds back in the gutter where they belong. Lexi is Aries partner. To see more of them in action check out the Memphis Escort Report board from time to time.

[QUOTE=LilaBella;2022406]There is no prize here, nothing to win. But if these "gents", and I use that term loosely with some, think they can bash me and try and deter my business they had better rethink their strategy. I am tired of being picked on for no good reason.[/QUOTE]"You better think" before you try and drag me into this. I have remained neutral, supporting your right to charge whatever you want. I did throw a flag on some of your comments in the review thread but that is a loooooonnnnnggggggg established rule regarding advertisers defending on the review threads.

My comment was directed at providers that aren't necessarily trying to fill the "high maintenance" niche that you seem to be going after. There is a prize here, the message you have going out to the several hundred to thousand local members who's business you are obviously trying to attract, otherwise why would you have placed the ads?

If you really want to get me off the fence, please feel free. This is all in black, not blue ink, you're more than welcome to respond as you see fit. (You're kind of new around here, I've sort of adopted Sincy and when I write in black like I am now I'm just another guy. [BLUE]When I write in [b]Blue[/b] like this, I'm being the admin[/BLUE]).

It's entirely up to you.

[QUOTE=SinfulDreams;1951781]Dawn honey I have always been so fond of you. Yes we have had our differences, but glad we are able to work those out, as I have learned quite a lot from you. I hope in turn I have helped you out some as well. I have haters of course, but to be it's just more publicity, and obviously I am doing something right, or my name wouldn't keep coming out of their mouth. To the one that thinks I don't know what they are up to, I am very aware of it, and it will get you nowhere, so I suggest keeping your opinions and things that you call facts to yourself. Nobody is perfect on this board or anywhere, and never will be. I am sure everyone has skeletons in their closet. Yes I have made mistakes, and I am a much better person because of it.

I do consider myself a more upscale provider, and of course I put Dawn into that category as well. There is another one that posts on this board that I have been conversing with back and forth that is getting right up there as well. But what do you know some of the other ones told her I am not reference friendly, and I don't play well with others. Hmmm I guess more haters. I don't have a problem with giving references as long as I know who you are, and I have actually seen you. Yes there are guys who make up things to try to get an appt, go figure. I have been told by clients that providers will tell them my photos are photo shopped, ummm that I will try to make you exclusive?? WTF Honey I want you to get as much variety as possible, because if not you would have a wife or girlfriend that you would see all the time. The purpose of the provider is to "provide" a way out, or another means of excitement, for just that moment, or however long it lasts. I have regulars since I have started and I am very thankful for that.

I would like to have a Christmas get together for the girls, bury all the hatchets, and be what we are supposed to be...grown adult women, and stop all this hatred. We are supposed to help each other, not hurt each other. So a restaurant in the area, and enjoy each others company. Is that too much to ask?

Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! I love each and every one of you all.[/QUOTE]Although, I have never met you, you have said it best. You are spot on right and it is refreshing read from someone's ability to speak against a wrong that has been done by another person. God Bless you for adopting a child. Truly you care about people and children.

[QUOTE=LilaBella;2021774]"a Porsche costs the same in NY as it does here"[/QUOTE]I don't want to dive into this unproductive argument, but that statement above simply is not factual:

[URL]http://www.motortrend.com[/URL]

As you can see by Motortrend's data, the average new retail price, used / trade-in value, of Porshe products and services indeed fluctuate based on regional economy.

Again, it boils down to this:

[B]Providers are free to charge whatever they believe their time and services are worth, and will either figure out their market niche and adjust accordingly, or they will find another profession.

Hobbyists (it is a hobby and therefore the income is indeed discretionary) have a right to frequent the providers of their choice and give return business to the providers they feel gave them the best experience at a fee they are comfortable with.[/B]

It really is silly to argue about this.

Do I think Lila's price is a bit high? Perhaps, but I don't know because I have not seen her. I can only go off my past experiences and current opportunities. While I might wait and see if she lowers her rates, I will probably still see her even if she doesn't lower her rate.

The true test would be if I would part with the $300 for return visits after I ACTUALLY SPEND TIME WITH HER!

[QUOTE=TheGoodSh;2022428]Glock, buddy. Your pictures are fine and all, but you should look at the girls face when choosing a photo. In this photo, Lexi looks like she's either mentally handicapped, or very drunk, or a bit of both.[/QUOTE]She was high as a kite. But was actually sobering up.
