Tough to figure out the "argumentative" angle.
[QUOTE=Blackfire;5237526]Not sure why my last post was deemed argumentative, especially since moderator reviews them before posting. So it probably got posted and someone complained? Anyway, I'll shorten the message and try again. Essentially I said the same thing as Massageyes, no reason to make excuses for the ladies or settle for someone else. These ladies make good money at $200+, Serenity seems to be getting a bad reputation from almost everybody except 3 or so posters who love the place.[/QUOTE]I think opposing viewpoints are good. We don't have to all agree. Variety is good.
And I learn a lot from most posters. Except spelling and grammar. I learn nothing in that setting.

Meditation Station on Byron Center
Only saw one rev of Meditation Station, and thought how bad can it be? Ads look pretty decent. Well, the previous rev was right: place a sty. Saw Mya, not as attractive in person, way, way overweight. Encouraged OTC roaming, but nothing was appealing enough to make me want to. So-so MS, in and out of room a couple times, tons of oil. Brought up tip at the flip. The HJ was jack-hammer rough and fast, even after I requested a slower softer approach. Also shorted on time. Will not repeat.
Would be nice to get more details.
[QUOTE=Blackfire;5240649]I agree 100% Gene. I think it's good for this board for all opinions to be posted respectfully, you can never have too much information. I don't mind, indeed I think it should be encouraged for questions to be asked and opinions noted on reviews. It seems some think it's "interrogation" to ask what a poster paid and / or to comment on price points. For me, I think it's important and valuable information to know and I have no issues with anyone asking the questions about price or services offered, or subsequent discussions from members with the pros and cons each has for paying high or low rates or what services are offered for each dollar level. Indeed, I always thought that was one of the main benefits of the board, cost and service information. Somehow it seems of late, especially in the massage section there is a trend that seems more advertising than information, more "I saw her and she was wonderful and so beautiful blah blah" and when you ask for cost and service you seldom get a response. Am I the only one seeing this trend in the Grand Rapids section?[/QUOTE]Blackfire. You bring up an interesting point. We do need more information posted.
Two things:
One. The "interrogation" you reference isn't so much the details about service and total costs. The "interrogation" that is troubling is the opinions shared by less-than-informed posters saying "you're crazy / stupid to pay more for an attractive 30 year old woman who is nude and lying on top of you when compared to what I pay for a 60 year old woman wearing a battle bra with a Kung fu grip for the jack hammer".
Two. Many of us prefer up front pricing like blonde25 and her staff provide. Clearly stated and no negotiation needed. Sometimes I might leave a small tip but likely most don't as the pricing is all in for the HE and nude body glide. Other providers prefer to wait for the HE (or more) negotiations until the flip. Of course for the monger it's difficult to artfully negotiate when she has your member in her pretty hand.
So we are all different. But we need to respect the preferences of others. I have no problem helping a mathematical non-genius be exposed for poor logic and reasoning. But not all mongers are as comfortable in such verbal jousting. And they shouldn't have to do so.
Once again this is just one man's opinion.
