Flirt with the providers and then negotiate
[QUOTE=CornLord;5675435]Thanks for the info and suggestion. Haven't been reading posts here regularly for a few years and back in the day it seemed like everyone was using the "dream" language. I'll avoid it in the future.
When I went to Rainbow 7 I definitely spent a lot less than I did at Blue Wave, and even negotiated down to $. 6 from the requested $.8, but I preferred the experience more when I paid more. Honestly can't tell how much of that is paying more and how much is just the difference between providers. Tempted to try out another place and negotiate more.[/QUOTE]There are definitely times in this hobby where paying more will get you a better experience. A high end escort, at $400/ hour or more, is (usually) going to give you a better overall experience than a $40 streetwalker. I've never had a $400/ hour escort, but people have posted elsewhere that "they know what you want without you having to ask". Someday.
Paying above the standard rate is not the only tool at your disposal, and should really be a last resort*. Many around here will talk about how people who pay higher rates without question are "ruining it for the rest of us" and there's definitely some evidence of rising rates because others are inclined to pay more. But the person you're really making it more expensive for is yourself. As Shampoo has indicated, you set your own floor with everyone in this hobby, and once you decide on a set price that first time, it's going to be very difficult to float down.
In my experience, forming a personal connection with your therapist at the AMP is the smoothest way to have a superior experience at the standard rates you've seen posted elsewhere in this thread. At a few of my regular places, there is no talk of money at all, outside of the house fee at the beginning of the visit. They get tipped at the standard rate at the end of the session, but there's no pesky negotiating in the middle of the session. No break to get any cash, nothing (but the condom) to break the mood. Just a smooth transition from massage to the flip to the cover to the fun, and when everything has concluded I will tip the therapist with some sincere compliments, a little more flirting and my thanks for some satisfying time together.
So how to do that? Flirt. Touch. Tastefully. Don't try to get to third base in the first few minutes of the massage, but it's ok to tease the back of her thighs, the bottom of her ass and the sides of her hips. Try to have a conversation, even if her English isn't very strong. One therapist complimented me on my body after the table shower and I told her how pretty she was. Her English wasn't very good, so she didn't understand and didn't respond. After a few moments of silence, Mama (who is always listening, even when you think she isn't) called over the wall from the kitchen in Korean, telling her what I said, and then telling me in English what she told the therapist. Everyone blushed and she thanked me for complimenting her. We both made an effort to talk from that point forward. That session went [B][I]extremely[/B][/I] well, even though it was her first time with me.
Some other things you can do are to take an interest in how her day is going or who she is as a person. And, when fun time starts, ensure there's a balanced give and take between the two of you. Your provider will appreciate any pleasure you can give her. If you're in tune with her reactions to your touch and spend some time ensuring she has as much of a good time as you do, it makes an impression. Once, after a session, the therapist told me it had been a few months since she "was happy down there", and was very appreciative for the orgasms I gave her. Was she being honest? If she was lying to me, she was pretty good at it. Her body's reaction to what I did to her would have been difficult to fake. Experience has told me that if you give her the boyfriend experience, chances are pretty good you'll be treated a lot better. At the standard rates.
And know that everyone at the parlor talks with one another. Treat everyone well, keep everyone satisfied and happy and your legend will grow. Even as the therapists rotate in and out of the schedule mama will ensure that the new ones know who her regulars are. She wants regular customers who treat her girls well, because when you make them happy they treat everyone else better, also. It's a virtuous circle.
[I]*As you establish a relationship with a therapist or an escort and the menu expands for you over time, paying more or tipping above rate is a generally accepted means of showing your appreciation for the elevated service - just keep it reasonable or the "you set your own floor" rule will apply and things can get more permanently expensive[/I]
