Not too many of us can afford those prices
[QUOTE=NotMe00;3800304]So glad this site is back up and operational.
While things have been a bit topsy turvy, I TOFTT at a few places to see what the deal was.
First, is the Latina place on Georgia that you can find ads for on a few of the backpage replacements. Was serviced by a kinda chubby but cute and stacked Latina masseuse. Forget her name. Anyways, just dropped in for a half hour and was charged $50 (gave her 3 jacksons, didn't get offered change). On the flip I was presented with 2 options, manual release or the whole kit and kaboodle (there was no middle option). Quoted $. 2 and $$$ for these options. I know things are wacky in the current environment but I was just in stitches laughing hysterically. Eventually I calmed down enough to say no thank you, that pricing is outrageous. Got offered half off on the manual and I still passed. Left out of there without tipping because I never got my change and $10 was a hell of tip for very lame massage and a ridiculous sales pitch.
Second, the glenmont asians are back in the area by wheaton regional. They're $. 2 for everything, usually somewhat older but okay looking. They often use real pics on their ads on cityxguide. The service is very good and sometimes above and beyond, but lately the ladies usually speak little to no English and I've stopped patronizing them since I've been wondering if they're trafficked. It is really hard to tell when you can't really communicate with them, and frankly I'd rather be abstinent than patronize a place that is actually doing what SESTA / FOSTA is trying (and failing) to stop. FWIW, that may not be the case at all, the ladies may indeed be there of their own free will, never saw anything that definitely tells me that they're not. But, the vibe is kinda weird, just a mattress in a room in an otherwise empty apartment. I figured better to avoid unless I learn from one of you guys who speaks their language that everything is indeed copacetic.[/QUOTE]So the Latinas on Georgia quoted you $. 2 for HJ and $$$ for FS on top of the house fee? Give me a break! What do they think we're made of, money? We mongers need to stand firm on keeping prices reasonable.
As for the Glenmont Asians, the price is a whole lot better. I received crappy service at an Asian apartment in Wheaton about 15 months ago; I sure hope they've improved since then. If so, the Latinas had better take note and cut their prices accordingly; otherwise they'll lose a whole lot of business.
