[QUOTE=FoolishNiss;5401755]That's a huge jump. I would love to see Angela again there but this is a drastic increase. I haven't seen reports of any other place raising their rates this much. Hopefully this doesn't become standard.[/QUOTE]It was a lot of haggle and dissatisfaction disappointment. Definitely different from the past. Not sure what Angela charges or will or won't do or what her negotiation is like.
[QUOTE=M Fever;5404246][QUOTE=FoolishNiss;5401755][QUOTE=M Fever;5400965]I know the price of everything is quickly rising. Case of wings for a restaurant went from 70 to 180. Yep!
So I just saw little Linda at The Spot again. She still looks so awesome but I got haggled for 250 then down to 200. Says prices go up no more 150. Also no more BBBJ either. I did massage and he left not happy. As always YMMV or ymmc (may change).[/QUOTE]That's a huge jump. I would love to see Angela again there but this is a drastic increase.

Definitely different from the past. Not sure what Angela charges or will or won't do or what her negotiation is like.[/QUOTE]I was in there Tuesday morning (June 15th) and was planning to ask for Linda (based on recent reports and descriptions). I haven't seen anyone at this location since they've changed owners and re-branded as "Massage Spot". Anyway, upon entry I'm greeted by "NOT Linda", later determined to be Angela, and was told that Linda wouldn't be in until the afternoon (sorta strange, but ok). I consented to see Angela even though she was clearly a bit more stout and older than I expected Linda to be (I still haven't actually met Linda). Angela asked if it would be ok if we just did 45 minutes ($60 House Fee) since she was there alone, and I figured that would be plenty of time with her as long as we didn't get a string of interruptions at the front door (only one of you guys came in... and must have had to wait a bit). Normally I try to make sure I offer my full tip as soon as returning from the Table Shower, but I forgot this time, so Angela didn't have any forewarning of "what I wanted" (she had to ask on the flip). While the shower was plenty playful and I was overtly agressive to assure her I was a 'safe' client, I still had to respond to that question. Rather than just TELL her, I simply got up and dug my tip out of my pocket, saying to her "Here, this is the tip for EVERYTHING" (euphemism for FS). Now, considering we were doing 45 minutes, I would normally think that the tip should be reduced as well as the house fee, meaning I might have offered her 140 tip, but as it was my first time seeing her and I didn't want to haggle over 20 bucks and risk setting a tone of being a cheap bastard, I just put the full 160 in her hand ... and sort of hoped that might encourage an extra-special effort on her part (I don't think it did... possibly wasted 20 bucks there). In any case, she accepted the 160 tip without question and all normal activities associated with a full and complete session ensued (BJ was covered, 69, DATY, Mish).
I'm wondering if Linda just was in a bad mood or didn't click with you (M Fever) and decided to start out with a GOUGE price, maybe hoping you would leave or something. If she sticks to that starting point with everybody, then she's off my list!
[QUOTE=Rico7;5403075]Getting ready to venture out again soon, however the reports here lately have been mostly disappointing. Price increases have been mentioned, and I go to these places to relax and unwind so the last thing I want to do is spend time negotiating. Occasionally I don't mind spending more (although I rarely do unless an expanded menu is available), but exceptional service needs to be part of the deal. Do young, good looking, and highly sexual women exist in Bay area massage spas? BBBJ? Are my expectations unrealistic? I'll probably end up at one of the usual suspects in Pinellas since driving to Orlando sucks, but for some reason I always want to try places I haven't been. Has anyone tried Gold Star on Central or Incheon Spa on Sunset Pt. ? Any suggestions? UTR? Thanks.[/QUOTE]I think that Linda at MS was just in a bad mood, or now has GPS. I have not encountered inflation at the AMPs this year. I went through my records, and I have visited 14 different providers (some more than once) at 9 different AMPs this year. Two were at MS. I have been paying essentially the same amounts that I have always been paying for FS for years. Unfortunately, I think some of these providers may try to charge "tourist" rates to new clients, but for experienced hobbyists, I have not see the rates rise in my sessions. Rates vary at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tier places, but their respective rates have remained the same in my experience. I have lost count of all the AMPs in Pinellas County now, but I would guess that there are over 60 active AMPs currently. If you have a bad experience at one, just try another one. Almost all AMPs in Pinellas will provide all levels of service up to FS. You will not be able to get FS at all places on the first visit, but at most places, with repeat visits, the menu will expand. Even at the same second or third tier AMP, different providers may offer much different levels of service. Just have fun, and try different places. Stay safe.
[QUOTE=SenecaCuck;5401117]Was in the neighborhood and had heard good things so took the plunge. I should have known better as I had popped in previously just to see the talent and wasn't wildly impressed. Only one there was mindy who was a few pound more than optimal. Almost bailed but I hate to do that once I am in. Mindy has a great set of tits but widens a bit after her waist and has some chubbiness in the belly but is built to take a pounding. She was wearing a low cut dress that showed her firm thighs as well.
No teasing in the table shower and then she tried to provide a therapeutic massage, would have preferred she not even try and just tease me LOL. I kept rubbing her legs and she backed away. Finally time to flip and she starts a really good BBBJ to start the negotiations. The little head takes control and is all in LOL. We settle on the standard $160 for everything. Continue the BBBJ for a bit and then slipped on a cover for some CG. I had to turn her over and pound and unloaded in her.
On reflection I would have preferred to have gone to proven places like Eves or pine tree instead of searching for something different..[/QUOTE]Wish I wasn't thinking with the little head when I stopped by. Also got Mindy, asked for an hour. 5 minutes in, asked to flip and quoted $160 for everything. 2 minutes into the pounding, I see blood everywhere, apparently it's that time of the month at that exact moment? Finished me off with a BBBJ that's actually a HJ finish. So $230 for no massage, a handy, and all that blood everywhere. Whoop de doo.
[QUOTE=TTY954;5403655]Wow palace Spa in Palm Harbor is really nice. The table shower has a nice headrest, and the "table" is actually very comfy, more like a bed.
The girl named pink was a lot of fun, staying two more weeks. She's young, in great shape with huge natural knockers probably the biggest I've seen on an Asian woman in real life. 80+160 for 45 minutes, Treated like a king the entire time. Appointment is mandatory, and they are very skittish if it's your first time there. Definitely call ahead, because they can be super busy.[/QUOTE]How large of knockers are we talking? Hard to compare to soda.
[QUOTE=LeanBone;5406551]How large of knockers are we talking? Hard to compare to soda.[/QUOTE]Way way bigger than a handful. Massive but not messy.
[QUOTE=LeanBone;5406551]How large of knockers are we talking? Hard to compare to soda.[/QUOTE]Large C to D's. Not massive but nice.
Forgot to hit upload report which is my fault. Back when Lulu was at her Gandy location even though we agreed on $160 for everything, halfway thru she wants another $100. She looks like an Asian version of Olive Oil from the Popeye cartoons. I passed & we had a not so friendly ending as she clearly tried to upsell me.
At Massage Spot just as Linda & I agreed to 150 for everything she briefly exited the room & guess who she was chatting with at the time? Yup Lulu. She passed on the disease of affluenza successfully on to Linda and suddenly my price increased another c note. Obviously this was when Lulu was at Massage Spot.
If its not AMP's or Alexa at Atlantis or an escort, the upsell / sudden price increase is a cancer threatening to rob the average joe by effectively pricing him out of the market or having this effect:
If a consumer keeps getting upsold halfway thru the already agreed on price it doesn't matter if its a pool cage, kitchen remodel, or any service that price was negotiated & agreed upon by both parties, that customer is never going to forget that bad experience. Yes YMMV. But once price is agreed upon, if a provider pulls this nonsense, they no longer deserve our business.
Just my 2 cents.
Stay safe & sorry for the lateness of my reply.
[QUOTE=Junper12;5401265]Are any good locations that have white woman working in them? If so how old are they / how do they look?
Thanks.[/QUOTE]Check the Aromatherapy shops, like 6 shops, lavender, ritz.
Any current providers rim and offer BBBJ anymore. This was common a while back, but since Covid it has virtually disappeared.

[QUOTE=Pirate6969;5399027]Sounds like Emily has developed a case of GPS. Golden Pussy Syndrome. Brought on by too much business and guys willing to pay for substandard service.[/QUOTE]She gave me that same lackluster bitchy experience 3 months ago and as I walked out, she asked me to come back.

[QUOTE=LuvJackShack;5408083]I don't think that was the famous LuLu because she is not skinny and can't be mistaken for Olive Oil from Popeye's.[/QUOTE]I have never had a provider ask for more $ after negotiations have ended. Unless I asked for something different later on in the session. I have had them be bitchy and lackluster because I wouldn't pay them what they originally asked for up front. But only a few times. In all of my sessions with Lulu, I have never had her do this to me. The real Lulu has a round tattoo on the back of her right shoulder, as has been reported on here many many times in the past. Do you remember a tattoo? But hey, we all aren't going to click with every provider out there for one reason or another, regardless of the $$ changing hands? It has happened to me before. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. They do as well. It's a good thing we have so many choices around the area.

[QUOTE=FLGuy48;5409796]The Lulu at Simply does this as well as other girls working there.

I think it's part of the fun for them but once you are a regular they too get used to you and the ones they like actually become ones they get a little attached too as well and there's never discussion of money or service you will receive ever after that. As close to a no commitment real girlfriend as you can get in my opinion.
