Rants Raves and Stupid Shit in Seattle.

[QUOTE=Original703;7412977]Been a minute since we've had a rate rant. Neither a newbie nor a lifer, I've had my fair share of experiences in the hobby. [I]I, too, am disappointed with rate increases.[/I] Without a lot of disposable income, I try to be strategic in my hobbying, looking for the best value. But for me, higher prices generally mean fewer visits.

I'm amenable to negotiating and asking about specials. If the provider doesn't do specials, fine. I'll either find somebody else or I'll pay her posted rate, and I'll ask again for specials on subsequent visits after establishing rapport.

Inflation happens but I don't have to like it. Below is the value of the dollar, accounting for lesser purchasing power, since the turn of the century. What cost $150 in 2000, now costs $285.

2000: $150.

2010: $190.

2020: $225.

2025: $285.

Logging off so that I can tell those kids to get off my lawn.[/QUOTE]Street Tacos:

2000: $. 75.

2010: $1. 25.

2020: $2. 00.

2025: $3. 50.

This post is meant for me agreeing and or acknowledging the fact we are getting screwed less physically but more financially with inflation.

[QUOTE=Morohei;7413375]It kinda defeats the purpose of this hobby. I'm mostly paying them to leave once I'm through with them.[/QUOTE]Exactly. IDGAF about what's going on in their personal life just the same way they don't care about what's going on in my life. I don't want to know, I'm not here for emotional support I'm here to have fun and bust a nut. I'm not a dick about it and am friendly, but the whole point is no strings, no complications. Fuck and leave.

As BuckNaked said, it's just a way to try to drum up extra donation and probably some simps fall for it. This is my biggest gripe about the hobby and what makes me a jaded asshole at times is the constant battle to get what was promised for the agreed to price, they are constantly trying to get more for less.

Even though I've had some less than stellar experiences in terms of attractiveness lately this is exactly why I keep going back to the k-agencies. You are both there for a single purpose and there's no bullshit. Never had a k-girl quit on me until the clock ran out, which is part of the rules there so fully expected.

Hobbyists are trying to get more than what was promised for less than what was paid, and the providers are doing the opposite in that they want to give less service than what was paid for.

Still, it does seem to be a hobbyist's market these days and I honestly just wait to get the "Hey I'm running a special / Or hey I miss you" text from a provider who I can then offer less than her normal rate for and still get the same service I want. Eh. I guess I'm part of the problem huh XD.

Remilane now known as rem123 for future search results.

Just had a SB I let go after an episode of money-gouging drama last month come back all nice and offering to see me again and saying it was all a misunderstanding. It wasn't, but she clearly isn't finding much other success out there.

Looking for some help in figuring out a fun place for travel with good talent. I have some vacation time coming up and no commitments and would like to travel somewhere. I have never seen girls outside of Seattle area and would like to travel somewhere where there are good options to try. I'm open to international travel, but a bit worried about the language barrier. I've seen a few Latinas here and wasn't a fan of the misunderstandings and using translator apps. Where would you go? Any favorites? BBFS availability is a huge plus.

Saw a blurb on the news that police are going to start pressing down on mongers that traverse Aurora the TLDR is they are going to catch license plate information and then mail the letter to the owner of the car.

Pretty much scare tactic but could become problematic.

They speak enough english that you can get answers to all the necessary questions. Absolute mongering paradise. Not been in many years but BBFS was always available for me from enough girls it wasn't an issue. You literally just move to the next girl in the establishment and ask and every establishment has many to choose from. Huge areas of the town are built on prostitution.

Girls who will play with other girls was the one thing I always found it hard to find I think mostly because they are all looking for their western sponsor and don't want to share.

You can just stay in San Diego and cross the border, there are Youtubers that discuss this too. I don't know about the frequency of BBFS availability of those places though.

If you havent seen, there is a vancouver BC thread in the Seattle section. THere is also an international USASG version, should be a link on the main page of this site, left side, down a bit.

[QUOTE=MorganCreamin;7416943]Oh no! A letter![/QUOTE]For some, that could be a life-changing event.

Clear 4th Amendment violation wrapped up in an "education" campaign.

Cops admitting they simply have no other options to reduce activity the local businesses are complaining about.

In the sunny 1990's, I got tangled up on the client list of a well-known escort service that got busted multiple times. And I was a witness to a fairly wild bar fight at the OK Hotel. I got letters from the SPD on both go those events. You couldn't tell the letters apart.

So I don't come over to the west side literally ever, but I was looking to come over to do some mongering any of you have a preference for semi upscale-ish spot that will be somewhat incognito for me and some hoes coming and going?

The 90 min rate is ridiculous. They charge just 50 difference between 30 and 60 min, but 300 difference between 60 and 90. I'd definitely go for 90 if it were a reasonable additional amount, 2 x in an hour is usually challenge for me and that extra half hour makes all the difference. But not at that increase.
