Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=Brahmabull; 1466797]Because that is not what it means. $.0 is 100, $.60 =160.

If you read the forum and do just a tiny bit of research as a good new member should, you would have discovered this.

So here is your invitation to read everything posted before you ask another question.[/QUOTE]Hey, I have been to the end of this thread and I've seen nothing about this strange code. By that logic. 90 should = $190 but I don't think that's what one of the earlier posts from 2010 meant when he said. 90 for one hour.

But seriously, that much for a HJ? Holy shit that's expensive. Noted, the OP said it was higher than most places.

The answer is it makes some people feel like they're part of an exclusive in-group. You're not saving any keystrokes. There's a reason price tags in stores aren't done like this. It's called legibility.

RTFQ.

I gave you an answer, no need to start calling people names. And the information that you seek may not just be located in the thread you are posting in. Hence the invitation to read the FORUM and not just the thread.

You guys don't like the way us grumpy assholes do things (and we have been doing it like this a LONG time) you can go elsewhere to get your info.

Every new person complains when they get told to read the forum, doesn't stop us from telling them or remove their actual need to do it.

Don't be lazy.

RTFQ.[/QUOTE]You RTFQ, I answered it. HE asked WHY when he missunderstood what he was seeing posted. I corrected his misunderstanding.

Again, if you don't like the way this forum works and how things are done, you can exercise your right NOT to use it. No one has changed the way they do things from the last 400 people who 'commented' or 'complained' about it, you 2 are not that special either.

You want to read price tags in a store head to the mall.

[QUOTE=MikeInDC;1466957]What's the point of abbreviating that anyway?[/QUOTE]Mike, no offense but you must be completely new to the hobby if you have to ask questions like that.

There are certain rules that we hobbiests / mongers have for ourselves that insures our safety and tries to insure the safety of the providers. You may not understand them, nor accept or agree to them, but those of us with decades of experience have adopted them and follow them, and for the most part we do not change them for any reason. We absolutely do not explain them to people who are new and have a lot to learn on their own, because nothing instructs you better than personal experience. So either you accept these things as they are and enjoy some helpful guidance from the more experienced members, or you can buck the system, complain, and learn only through your own trial and error, wasting time and money in the process.

The choice ultimately is up to you.

BTW, is there no Howard County forum? I found some reviews about a place up there and I wanted to look into it some more.

It's security measures like these that allow us to enjoy the teeming massage parlor scenes in Montgomery County and DC. Maybe it's because I've only been paying for sex for two decades that I don't find "decades of experience" to be a compelling argument.

The crackdown in Montgomery County started with one angry housefrau who discovered her husband's activities, and the one in DC started with a female police chief who lives in sin with one of her subordinates in Maryland. But the power of $.60 keeps me secure. That's magical thinking at best.

If anyone can crack the code by reading the FAQ what's the point?

Hey everyone,

Been to Linda Lee's about 3 times now. Price is good, but consistency is not great. First massage with the Lili was great. 2nd and 3rd progressively have gotten worse with different therapists. Relaxing environment, good price, not so great consistency. Also, I've been shorted about 5-10 minutes on my last 2 massages. It's a shame because I like this place, but I'm not sure how much I really want to go back. Maybe next time will be better?

I'll try Linda Lee's again only because I did get a great massage and it's so inexpensive.
