Agree with your points completely.
#3 is exactly one of the reasons why I and many others stay away from BP and look for the higher end girls for something more credible and true-to-expected services. And just let me be clear, as long as you got everything you need and want from Stacey, I would not say you are overpaying for your pleasure. To get to the level of getting exactly what we want and pay for, the connection and chemistry has to be there. This is not something easy to put a price tag on or easy to 'service.' Even for those who can provide perfect illusion of passion in their dates with clients would still need something they like about the clients in order to do so.
If the chemistry is really genuine and great, even I wouldn't insist of CIM or check off every play I want to do to the girl. If the chemistry is just so-so or closer to JUST willing to please me for the donation, then I'd focus only on enjoying myself and would make sure I check off all menu items from the girl.
My comment is about the 'past' I missed and pissed about: only if I had tried to meet Stacey at LT, then I may know more about whether her service meet my idea of justification for me. Now I just move on to others that I can afford.
I also see #1 a lot, but that's another story. Some folks would share my observation / intel about #1 with girls. I have no problem of the sharing, but it's annoying when the girls whine about this on TER or P411 or their personal websites, as if we are disrespect them. I'm not asking you to reduce or raise the price, just one of the guys who happens to be tracking the kitty market along with the stock market.
[QUOTE=ToplessnCago;3640010]Patrick, I always appreciate your insights, knowledge and history with the hobby. A few thoughts:
1. Everyone has to start somewhere and most people start out in business learning the painful lesson of not knowing their worth, the marketplace, etc. She obviously figured it out along the way. You're right, she should be commended for this.
2. One of the factors contributing to her sustaining an ever increasing price structure is no doubt the fact that her "second menu" pricing is unpublished. Not a practice that benefits the hobbyist in any way.
3. Perceived value is the worth that a product or service has in the mind of the consumer. I have wasted valuable time and money dealing with the "Goldilocks challenge" presented to the hobbyist trying to find the perfect fit in a provider. As I am sure some of you have been frustrated by this as well. For example: I met multiple providers in the 300 to 400 range. One was no CIM, another was no BBBJ, another was no msog, another was no dirty talk, too many tattoos, greek not available, not pretty enough, too fat, ass too big, tits too small, on and on it went. Next thing I know I had seen a dozen providers and not one of them was "just right. " In the process, I had spent over $5 k not getting exactly what I wanted. I had gotten laid, sure, but each time I parted with my money feeling like I had settled for something I didn't exactly want. "Well, that was fun, but I wish she. ".
Did I overpay for Stacey? Maybe. Did I waste my time and money looking for a "hidden gem" only to find out she didn't look and perform to my level of expectations? Nope. Did I get exactly what I wanted? You betcha![/QUOTE]
