Time to segregate the ads by level / category?
I wanted to float an idea that another senior and I were discussing in the back channel.
It seems that we have some extreme diversity here in tastes, as well as the sorts of providers who post.
A.) On one hand, we have some very high-end ladies like Dawn, Molly, Dixie, Shelley19 (they aren't the only ones, just giving the ones who come to mind). These are the women who are fit, youthful, etc.
Be.) On the other hand, we seem to have a profusion of late of BBW, older, and more SW-type providers.
Generally, the guys who go for categories a.) and be.) comprise two different groups of clientele. Also, there is a price differential between categories a.) and be.).
I am wondering if it would be helpful to segregate the ads: One group for the higher-end ladies who are younger, slender and generally fit the "traditional concept of female beauty." Then there could be a second category for the BBWs, etc.
The point here is not to leave anyone out, but rather to categorize service providers in a meaningful way that will make it easier for ladies to find customers, and vice versa.
This is a sensitive issue, I know; but the recent influx of SW-type ads are changing the overall tone of the board. I want the board to continue to attract high-end ladies. As it stands now, this is becoming more of a place for discount BBWs and SWs. I realize that this is okay with some of you. But the board will lose a lot of traffic if it becomes exclusively oriented toward the lower end of the market.
Thoughts, anyone?
Wanted To Make A Suggestion!
[QUOTE=D Nut; 1608294]I get what you're saying and what you're trying to accomplish. However, are there really that many providers that we need to start grouping them? There are probably less than 15 legitimate providers who post on here. It only seems like a lot because of the repetition. It's like a solution to a problem that doesn'f really exist. Like voter fraud.
Two other problems you will face is WHO will decide what the "acceptable / normal standards of beauty are", and who will dictate if a specific provider is "top shelf", or a "well drink". It's not just ego and pride that's riding on this. MONEY is also on the table.
I am open to discussing this, and keep an open mind. But damn! This will be a hornet's nest.[/QUOTE]Just wanted to offer a suggestion when I first started few months back I had know idea about this board.
But I had a gentleman friend who felt that the gentleman on this board would like me as a added member.
My suggestion is some of you do the same when you meet a high end beautiful women encourage her to come to our
Board and let her know how welcomed she would be it worked for me that's just my opinion.
On categorizing ads, and the decline of new talent here
D-Nutt, Mrrdfun, CincyEast52:
Thanks for your feedback.
And maybe there is another way. What I notice, though, is that the board seems to be going more and more toward the lower end of the market. Mrrdfun uses the term "streetscorts." This seems to be the direction in which the board is moving. Is this a good thing? If not, is there another way to turn it around?
I recall the old E. Com (which was shut down a few years back). Most of the escorts on there were upscale, like Dawn, Molly, and Dixie. I was hoping that USAG would evolve in the same direction. But the hotties we have today are mostly ladies who have been with us since a few years back. Look at some of the new ads and you will clearly see the change in direction. Quality, youth and beauty are on the way out here."Chubettes," cellulite, rough appearances, and super-cheap rates are in.
Even Buddha, a perceptive businessman who responds to the call of the market, seems to have gotten the message and is not offering near the caliber of ladies that he was in 2004.
We seem to moving toward a clientele who:
- Doesn't care about age / weight (I. E. Is fine with BBW)
- Is more focused on girls who "swallow" than on high-quality, model-type looks.
- Doesn't want to pay more than $100 per session.
Is this the direction in which the board wants to go? If it is, I don't think that I will stick around much longer, and neither will Dawn, Molly, Dixie, etc. If this becomes a haven for $60 streetscorts, I can guarantee you that the hot-looking girls will be gone in one year. (I have noticed that many of the hot ones who are still here are already advertising in other venues.)
The Large Canine Board was ruined a number of years back when it was taken over by a small number of "mature" escorts and a tight cadre of guys who only wanted 40+ women. (And before long, 40+ women were the only type of escort you could find there.) This board seems to be in decline as it moves away from high-end escorts, and toward low-end streetwalkers.
If there is another way to halt the decline here, please someone raise a suggestion.
