[QUOTE=BigBoiTerry;3388776]Shoppa, you and I have talked on the phone several times about the state of the hobby. And I've also had conversations with several other guys about the same thing. So many of us are losing our joy for the hobby, and it's a combination of things that is contributing to it. The part that has changed the most for me is the finding of new, quality talent that is affordable. A lot of ladies complain that guys are cheap, as for me, I don't mind paying, but I simply can't afford the 140,150 hhr ladies because I hobby regularly, sometimes twice a week, BUT, it's with a small group of ladies that give me good rates, they know that I'll see them regularly.
And I try new girls, but 8 out of 10 times I'll leave the session thinking that I should have visited one of my regulars, because I paid more and received lackluster service. I think for most of us, the joy of finding 'new', is what attracted us to the hobby, but the lack of quality new is disheartening. Not to mention that if you do find quality, and report it, they will 1st, raise there prices because of the demand, and 2nd, won't have time for you anymore because guys are breaking their doors down, and even if you've helped them, their memories are very short. I definitely feel your pain, but I'm thankful for my solid core regulars.[/QUOTE]From the movie "Wall Street," the saying goes: "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good," but is it? A certain lady from this board that has since retired from the scene, a lady I had an instrumental role in bringing to the forefront, once sat down and talked with me like she often did during a session, and told me that she stopped doing the 150, 200 thing because she could reel in more fish with a one and two zeros. I assume that more fish don't necessarily go for the more expensive bait, but the most effective, the sweetest, and the most available to them.
For example, I see ads all of the time for 200 rose masssages. Why would anyone pay that much for what will likely turn into a 15 min body rub and a fast and furious HE stroke to beat the clock?
So like you all, I haven't been doing much either. My last regular sessions were with Ellie Exxxtasy who is not on the scene at this point. Nikki Love did me EXTREMELY GOOD, but she was only passing through the area, so the search for a regular, quality provider continues.
