[QUOTE=BigJohncC]Columbus is just not a good market for younger talented girls. Maybe it's the population and number of men looking here?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Akuma187;7166881]If we could get I would say a K-agency I think the community would thrive. AMP and AAMP just don't work well here. Nothing against our community it's that you need to spend money to make money and we need good service to justifying spending for bad service. It's easier for the bigger cities to have I would say more options but Columbus is getting there. Big cities will always have better options because the city doesn't care about working girls and they better things to take care of. It sucks but it is what it is. I've been working on my SB I've had its ups and downs but it's ok. I'm hoping still it get better but we'll see.[/QUOTE]Obviously, we all realize it's a combination of factors, what you guys have mentioned. But I think one thing that hasn't been touched is that yes, it's partly the population and the men looking. People here in general (and maybe a few in this forum) don't even know what they can get in other cities for the money they're shelling out here. They don't travel anywhere. They're just dudes stuck in a Midwest city. They only know what's in front of them and available, and the options they have are either 1) a subpar experience or 2) nothing. So they go with what they got. And on that note, the service is subpar, but most people partaking in it don't even realize that, because they've never had good service elsewhere in the country or in the world. On top of that, if they think that their subpar experience is top notch, then they assume what they're paying is also top notch. If someone comes in with a higher price, they all balk, and they have the mentality "it can't get much better than what I'm paying, so that means they're price gouging". There were a few comments here from people (who have never even thought of going to Riverside), when they had a HYA / younger one, saying how everyone is stupid for paying 300, because it was "too much". Some even commented how you can get much more for your money driving down Sullivant. Really? That's what you want? But that's what we're dealing with. Guys paying nothing and getting shit, but they think that shit is great and that it's the best they can get.
To latch on to the meat analogy someone had: a lot of the guys in the market here love burgers, but they really only eat at the McDonald's on Sully. You tell them there are way better burgers in better restaurants out there, made with fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, and you don't have to sit in a booth or in your car to eat your burger, you can be in a luxurious dining room, and the place caters to your needs, and fries are included. BUT the burger is 4 dollars, and not 1 dollar. Many guys would balk at going to the better restaurant because they think "How much better could it be? They're both burgers. This McDonald's one is way cheaper, and I like how it tastes, I've been eating this kind of burger my whole life. I don't think it can get any better than this. " This is the Columbus / midwest mentality for a lot of things, honestly.
