A reflection on the cost of a hobby
[QUOTE=OneWayOut;6766140]We the Mongers of this all wonderful lifestyle are found guilty on the Top Charge of "Price Gouging" We and we alone have allowed these fees to climb out of control from reasonable numbers. Have we forgotten that The Monger does indeed hold the chips in our game. Sure our defense is "Power of Pussy" but that my friends is just lame. But she provides a great date at $400 an hour or hey this one is 350 hr and sexy. Example I had seen Avalon easily 8 plus times over the years at 250 hr and when she went to 300 I saw her less often on principle alone but when she reached 400 (know this = incredible date always) however I immediately pulled her off the roller decks. HELL to the F NO. No knock on any of these woman personally but when they reach for "MORE" the lower tier provider also thinks they can get THEIRS. So here we are as experienced Mongers also trying to help along the rookie but we are paving a terrible road for their journey. Co signing and worse promoting insane prices. My lawyer is worth 400 an hour because he either saves my freedom or makes my money grow. Having the pleasure of taking UTR Charli on this journey for couple of years, she was 160/240 and towards the end of her tour, she asked me if I thought she could get 200/300. My reply was simple to her = Your disrespecting the Monger. So why are we so freely giving our approval on the crazy and greed driven numbers out here today. I've seen a great number of Top Talent in Florida and honestly I've tipped accordingly. I've also seen most of Brevard so called Best Of. Know this a lot of these type women we could pickup in Publix (I have). In closing, I'm not trying to save money got plenty of that. More concerned with proper balance in our lifestyle for the Next Monger in Line. Respectfully OW.[/QUOTE]I agree with you OWO that the current rates exceeding 300 seems ridiculous but who am I to tell anyone what to charge or what to donate. I'm of the opinion that a provider can ask whatever they want and a monger can donate whatever they want. We should all know by now that more $$$ doesn't guarantee a better experience and thus the importance of this forum and the information that we report as members. Our reports with these providers are essentially what helps to establish their reputation in the hobby as well as establish our reputations as trusted senior members whose advice helps us to make smart decisions with our time and money. I enjoy communicating with many of the members on this forum such as you OWO and the likes of SitbacRelax, JayJayTwo, BigStud47, Willie24, as well as many other members and always make it a point to look at a members past reports to better understand where they are coming from as far as what they want in this hobby and if it coincides with what I am looking for. I consider it my responsibility to understand why some members can rave about a provider and highly recommend them while others think they are not worth it. Some of us likes blondes or redheads, spinners or full figured, incall or outcall, being on time vs no concept of time, BBJ vs CBJ, Greek, GFE, PSE, these are all things that factor into ones reviews and therefore shape their opinion of what the providers worth is to them. Ultimately what may work for some mongers might not work for others but to each his own as well as I'm sure that what may work for one provider probably doesn't work for another so advertise what you want.
As for you OneWay you will always have legendary status with me because of the Charli affect! That woman was top notch and the fact that you helped her establish herself in the hobby speaks very highly to you.
