Start with a fixed rate in mind

[b]Don't tend to barter. I offer if they say yes good if not I ask for my massage to be completed and then leave,[/b]
Stay safe be relaxed and treat the ladies well.
Relaxedinak.[/QUOTE]I follow a similar rule, though I do negotiate the level of service.
I start with a fixed offer of 2 C, which I make sure they see when I peel off the 20's for the "door fee". At that same moment (pre-massage) I initiate the discussion regarding the personalized service I would like, after the massage is done. Most of the time we arrive at an acceptable agreement, but if not I usually opt to leave. When [I]that[/I] happens, they have always insisted on refunding the door fee, but I am prepared to walk away from that if they don't offer the refund.
On a few occasions, when the girl was physically attractive enough, I have opted to take the massage before leaving. Sometimes, when I DO take the massage, the girl will be thinking about the 2 C she's passing up on, and she'll change her mind and revive the negotiation (presumably to ensure the terms are understood by all parties). One time the mamasan came in at the end of the massage and pressured the girl (new to me) to take me up on my offer. THAT was a cool ending, because I knew for sure that she didn't usually go that far with every other guy.

(PS: Mathematically, 7/10 for service is actually a barely passing grade, and I disagree with your assessment that 70% is "pretty good" for Anchorage. In my experience, if we successfully negotiated what [b]I[/b] asked for, the worst I've ever gotten was maybe in the 85% range. Of course, I have no idea what you consider "high marks", and there is no accounting for taste, but I would love to know what activities you consider 9/10 or even 10/10.)
