There are exceptions to this, Jane in holland, most MPs, Kandi, others. But what should the rule be? I'm not sure if the effort will actually push costs to a standard rate because there will always be people negotiating for less and others willing to pay more.
Who is the best value in GR. I'd like a GFE. Thanks in advance.
Is it me or is the number of providers dwindling. It seem like there has been a big downward spiral in selection in the GR area.
Once the FofB Self-Service Kiosks are installed, the Negotiating will be over!
Not sure if this is the right place. Saw it on a FB page about nerds.
[QUOTE=ChipCharger;4155510]In terms of a strike or attempt to correct the market, one thing to keep in mind is that the posters on this board are way outnumbered by those who do not post but take advantage of those who do post. If I recall, A2 once said they estimate non posters outnumber us by about 4 or more.
To some guys paying $30-40 more per visit doesn't matter all that much. It does to most of us though.
To those who are not concerned, please help the rest of us. You certainly wouldn't want an overall economic market to go uncorrected.
I'm an exclusive UTR guy at this point but I'm in total support of what many guys are saying here. If you are a lurker, please give everyone else a little help to bring things back a bit.
Price gouging is not really a good thing in any market in the long run.[/QUOTE]For those who post frequently and report on the good, the bad and the ugly I really appreciate what you have brought to the table. I have just found this forum and found it my go to for references. It has confirmed which providers I will see, and for the most part what I can expect. However the number one use of this forum is the degree of safety it provides an inexperienced pup like myself. That major issue although not eliminated is certainly reduced, and for that I thank you. So I for one have been asking price and requesting a reduction based on other "salaries" that are out there. One issue I have with that is time. I don't have a lot of free time to travel 30/40 minutes one way, have my fun and drive back another 30/40 minutes. I also like to duck into a shower before I see my significant other, so we are looking at 2. 5 hours out of the day. I just don't get that many days to do it. So my issue is I take what is available to me based on quality over price. I have tried setting a time two or three days in advance and get crickets when the time is approaching. I can't wait for them to finish their customer so they will call me back because they don't. So it's contact next person on list. At this point price is secondary.
I understand I don't have the name recognition, I am at the stage of trying multiple ladies, and not a repeat customer. The ladies I call do a volume business (no I don't believe they are low volume by choice) so it's first up first served. I'm in the same category as the mongers who call and don't show up, or stiff the provider for services provided. It reflects poorly on all of us, so appointments are not kept by the ladies. Secondly for those of you that have earned their stripes, congratulations, you earned them and the names of the UTR providers it gives you. It is my understanding that these ladies will be more responsible about keeping dates for those of you blessed with their phone numbers because you have earned it.
So for those contributors to the forum I will try to negotiate price. I will always be conscientious of the providers time and make appointments, so others after me will not feel the wrath of a jilted provider. If I am running late I will notify provider of the expected arrival time. However if I am jilted I'm on the clock and planning is not my little heads strong suit.

As far as I can see, that is about right. Some will be more, some less, depending on service, appeal, history, etc. Good point, not sure a certain parameter has been set! That is about what I was thinking but. Good to set those standards.

Whatever he comes up with is still relative to service and without a string of good reviews her rate should stay at the starter rate until she gets (?) how many good reviews?
We will have to explain, you are new this is what I'm willing to pay? When you get 5 consistent good reviews we will give you a little raise.
This could be interesting if all of us agree to call the same girl using the same line on negotiations, If she does not fold we have to walk away or it won't work.
Nose Jelly is right, put them in the kiosk and end negotiations.
When she agrees we can put her in the Kiosk, letting everyone else know that she is price friendly and willing to work for her money. That would be a big bonus for her and us. BTW I've been doing these negotiations for a long time, occasionally passing the savings to Frenz of Benz. We will be creating a list all together instead of individually.
I'll start with Becca and a bonus pic for everyone. BBBJ/ ws Short stay 50, hhr 80 hr 120 Becca is number 1 in the kiosk

Hours should be no more than 120-150, with 150 being reserved for really full menu and hot body, pretty face including msog and maybe even Greek. Sorry but any girl that thinks she should be getting more than 150 per hour is simply exhibiting GPS.
I must be missing somthing what sites or what are you using to find willing participants? Please and thanks in advance.

First, supply & demand factors into things, but the problem is, the market is wonky -- ladies getting false impressions about "What I Deserve" and "What Everyone's Getting". You don't see that with blue-ray players or 65-inch TVs. In this market, you have gals believing it's not out of this world for herself to demand $200 to take her top off if she has nice breasts for her hhr massage, and scoffs at another gal giving a topless BBBJ for an $80 tip on a hhr massage who is just as good looking as her. We don't see this walking into ABC Warehouse vs Best Buy when shopping around for entertainment devices. This is a more UTR market, self-esteem issues can play a role in how far they're willing to go for how much, how they think they look, how much the other gals actually Are getting, etc.
On the flip side (no pun intended), you have newbie or rarely-chime-in guys who are horny throwing out Way too much from time to time. Gals will end up believing That is more along the lines of what they Should get, thus think a guy's cheap (thus, she feeling cheap), if he doesn't measure up to it. What a gal needs to understand is the wonkiness of the market. It's a different kind of thing. You'll get guys throwing higher $ than the market would otherwise expect; kind of like when waitressing, you could get some guy leaving a 40% tip where she didn't do anything out of the standard ordinary. Be grateful, but keep your eyes set correctly: If you want more money day to day, put everything in perspective. You'll get more guys, more repeats, less negative reviews if you Don't Expect or demand what the occasional Naive Ned will do or is willing to do on even a non-pressure up-sell. Realize that Naive Ned is More than it's worth (yay, lucky), and don't rely on that at all. No more than a waitress wanting those certain guys throwing down way too high a tip.
I think the Understanding of a baseline rate that understood thru the industry and what the guys preach would be good. Don't know how effective that'd actually be, and how much that'd soak in. But at least something where if a gal is going to want more, it's not a "I Deserve" mentality but "Hey, I can get these rates, sooo. ," and understands YMMV depending on the day of the week or how the industry is doing during that time frame. But obviously a gal can be on the notably Chubby side and be "below par" on the price scale, and another gal who's real cute can be "above par" on the price scale. And a new girl can be below it a bit and raise it once she's got some good reviews.
But as long as there's an understood "par" level on what's expected to compare high / low to -- it'll help bring stability to everyone's expectations. But for that to happen, it's not just the girls understanding, but the readers here to, as well. I guess the par / baseline would be the mid-range of what to expect on a gal. Massages are going to be more than an escort, of course.
ESCORT: SS-$90; HHR-$120; HR-$150 (Higher or Lower depending on her looks, GFE-level, you're a newbie vs reg; etc).
MASSAGE TIP (more complicated):
HHR / HR: $20 / $40 **Base; standard HJ HE.
TOPLESS: +$10-$20 **During HE only, or thru most of massage? Newbie or reg? Hhr or hr?
FULL NUDE: +$10-$20 **During HE only, or thru most of massage? Newbie or reg? Hhr or hr?
That's roughly what I see that'd fit into the "level" of the market. Which has gone up recently, but with backpage & craigs leaving + economy good, I can understand why.

From my years (mid 2000's til now) of experience I would say you are spot on. However, I can only speak for the massage side of things. I don't monger into the SW or Ladies of the Night. Just a preference nothing more.
Anyway, well done.
