Rants, Raves, and Opinions

About a week ago I went into one of those adult stores, like an Eldorado's or Shockwave. The store had a cork posting board where there were a number of hand written ads like you would see on any posting board in a grocery store, etc. There was about half dozen or so, of people looking for hook-ups. Since this was after CL dropped the personals, many were like that. Couples looking for a third, single guys looking for hook-up, etc. Since the store has the board and it is all legal postings, I don't see why this could not be a low-tech option for providers. As long as they do write ads that sound more like an actual casual encounter rather than an overt provider ads, then I would guess the store would not object.

Might be worth seeing what is being posted in other adult toy stores.

[QUOTE=BagelFish;3791469]It's time for us to stop being stupid and actually help these girls out.

I got texted about where girls should post now that their usual avenues are now gone. It seems like P411 is sticking around but unless you want to pay that fucking 100 dollar fee it's kind of useless. Eccie is another option but honestly, I don't like their forum.

I think it's time to be using the tool that's been under our nose. Boys, it's time to use [URL]http://usaadultclassifieds.info/classifieds[/URL].

Get as many of the good girls on there. We can review them here and get things moving. TER was my favorite resource and they left us in the dust. However with this site, we will be able to weed out the bad ones and keep the good providers. We'll be able to set the standards on what we mongers find acceptable and unacceptable. This change is harsh but I think in the end, it's going to only hurt the bad providers in the ultimate long run.[/QUOTE]I tried Eccie this morning this morning and it looks to be gone now to. Grain Belt news is still up but a virtual wasteland. I was also quite surprised to see my old go to site from almost 20 yrs ago, The big doggie is still up, but it's been dead for a number of years. Too bad on that one because it used to be a hot bed of activity. Used to make weekly trips to Chicago. Ah the good old days.

Although I haven't used it in years, last I checked the website tagged had a lot of low end workers on it. Maybe with these shutdowns the mid-tier workers will start popping up. Also POF and OKC used to be a gold mine for me but those were women who were truly interested in just casual hookups but I doubt they would turn down money if you wanted to offer. I just suggest doing it after the deed is done LOL.

[QUOTE=MilwaukeeTJ;3791754]If you're like me, your phone is blowing up with texts. "Just wanted you to have my number. How have you been. Did you hear BP is dead. Etc". Bottom line is that the price of mongering has got to be coming down. Obviously you can pay what ever you want, but I think a lot of these $150 hh /$250 h girls are going to be happy to have a bunch of $100 regulars very soon.

This new law and lack of online access changes everything, I think.[/QUOTE]If the demand for sex remains the same, but the supply of pussy decreases due to it being harder to find new girls, one might expect the price of mongering to go up.

What are the rest of you mutts experiencing?

[QUOTE=MilwaukeeTJ;3796209]When the pussy is calling the mongers versus the other way around, it suggests their phone might not be lighting up as much lately.

She's on P411 and mentioned her rates are staying the same for regulars but going up for new clients now that the bargain bin trash that advertised on BP is out of the picture.

On the other hand I received 2 texts by Friday offering weekend specials and 1 text Sun and another Monday from escorts begging for a visit because they couldn't cover their room. I'm currently out of town which is a shame because I'm guessing I could have pulled a Priceline and named my own price.

HS.

[QUOTE=MilwaukeeTJ;3796209]When the pussy is calling the mongers versus the other way around, it suggests their phone might not be lighting up as much lately. What are the rest of you mutts experiencing?[/QUOTE]Absoulity no change. I've been getting the same amounts of texts as before, and from this mornings experiance they still arnt as money hungry as I would be. I did hear a new one from a girl last night. She said she has to get her car out of the tow lot. What makes this funny is I've know her for over 2 years and never seen her drive her car or anyone else's.

[/QUOTE]My suspicion is that prices will go up for higher end women who have established good reputations. Given the increased risk in the current environment, that's probably the smart thing to do. Those on the lower end living day to day might get desperate, price themselves too low to survive, and end up in a bad way.

I see a few guys have had success getting around the state side block. I got out to the TER site but was unable to see any reviews from Milwaukee or chicago. This is really starting to suck.

Seems so long ago in this miserable war.

I have tried to upload pics to my last reviews and it says the file is too big and to manually resize the file how the hell do you do that? I have no clue.

Went to the the EM website this morning and you now have to pay to read full reviews. You get a tease of the first sentence or two, but when I click read the full review, pop ups for premium memberships appear. $29.00 a month to read reviews or $279.00 a year. I don't think so.
