A very good head specialist should get more than a girl that chews on your dick like its beef jerky.
Shouldn't that head specialist be able to set a higher price for non-covered vs covered or if the guy finishes in 20 minutes instead of 2?
Does the weather play a role in your price restrictions? What about police activity? Sometimes the girls just want to get away from the trail for a while and will take a lower price. I once got a cute very nice girl for an overnight at $100 because it was in the mid 90's and she was hot, tired and wanted a shower and comfortable bed.
Car dates vs motel visits? Car dates vs Resort visits?
Are prices discounted if she's dirty? Smelly? Stoned?
What if she's the only girl on the trail compared to a day when there are 15 girls standing together?
How do you put prices on those variable?
The only thing that matters is if you are willing to pay the amount she is asking or are you willing to drive away. If you start driving away then she may throw out a lower price or not. If you end up working it out but it's a contentious atmosphere then you may wish you didn't pick her up.
You should offer what you think she's worth to you and if she agrees then you're set. This entire conversation is foolish. It won't work.

Posts: 489This forum is pretty much a "union"
Aren't we in a "union" now? LOL Wouldn't this forum be considered a "union?"

So who's team are you on?

Posts: 2851Sorry to have touched a nerve
Yes, you're correct, I picked out a single line from the article to use in my post. That said, since it was from the article you used to support your argument, it certainly seemed appropriate to pull a statement out of that same article to demonstrate the inaccuracy of the argument. And you're also correct in that, to my knowledge, you never said we should set the price at $10. Instead, I merely took your argument to its logical conclusion. After all, if we, and we alone, dictate the price, why not make it dirt cheap? I'll answer that for you, because we alone do NOT dictate the price. As I stated in reply to OriginalSin (by the way, are you two related?) it takes BOTH sides to determine the price. Just as we would never pay $1,000, they would never accept $10. We do what we can to bring the price down, they do what they can to take the price up, and we reach a mutually agreeable rate. The same is true in any business, service industry or otherwise. The outcome would be the same whether you're talking about the pool cleaner, the CPA, mechanic, lawn maintenance or whatever. If the price is too low, the provider will stop providing, at least to that person, and move on. Similar with the consumer, if the price is too high, the consumer will shop around and look for another provider.

Posts: 2851Any business will work
Let's go with your model of selling lollipops. You picked a price, made sales and decided to increase the price. Sales continued, you made another decision to raise prices. Ultimately, the customer left decided the price was too high and sales dropped. You then used your accumulated knowledge to come up with a price that maximized profits. In other words, you initially corrected from too low a price, the consumer then made you correct from too high a price and you mutually determined the price. That's the argument I've been stating from the beginning. In the hobby, as the consumer, we're only part of the equation. The provider is also part of the equation. We correct from too high of a price, they correct from too low of a price and we mutually determine the price. So no, I didn't "shoot (my) self in the foot, that has been precisely my argument all along, yes, we effect the price, no we do not dictate the price. Just like with your lollipop sales, both sides determine the price point.

The best example of this is the recent demise of K-Mart. They died a slow death because they refused to listen to concerned citizens (the case of the PAC that called them out on being the largest seller of porn and them ignoring that and falling to the largest boycott in US history. And couple with the fact that they just couldn't compete with upstarts like Walmart).
I can only imagine that the members on this site make up a small fraction of guys that hire hookers in Central Florida. I base this on the reviews I read on other sites by guys not on here and the huge number of hookers that advertise but are never reviewed here. Don't get me wrong, I value the judgements of our members. I just wish their reviews were more broad, and that we saw more ladies and reviewed them. Face it, we have a very few members who even review and they tend to review the same girls over and over.
A real-world case. I recently offered up a UTR who was in need and agreed to see more guys to raise the cash she needed. I made one post and had about 85 guys ask for her contact info. Only about 60 made the cut because of review count and history. Of those, five contacted her and two made dates. If you are trying to form any sort of unity front (to form your union), that record sucks.
So, yeah, none of us wants to pay more than a certain amount for fuck a lady. But to exercise control over that, you would need to form a solid union and be willing for ALL in the union to strike.
With respect, sir, that is a dog that don't hunt.
Not exactly an economics term, but you get the point.
OK. All that said, what can we REALLY do? Set our own standards. Decide what you can afford and stick with it. Be willing to get what you get for the price. If your willingness to spend is $80, you aren't going to get most of the ladies reviewed here and advertise on the various sites to fuck you. But you will get some to, they are just not going to be top shelf. Each of us has to decide what we are willing to spend for what quality. And, if enough of us are willing to just walk away, then, yeah, we can have some effect of the price of things. But we cannot control it.
Play safe,
C3.

Posts: 706Selling lollipops
I remember a kid back in high school that sold lollipops and gum and other nick-nacks. The lollipop was the most popular item because it was the blowpop. Anyway, the kid was doing well, he was making decent change at. $35 a pop. Then he wanted to make more money and doubled down on the lollipops and started to sell it a $. 50 a pop. He made a little more money, but not enough to get the car he wanted. So he decided to raise the price to $1.00.
Guess what happened? He made less and noticed that there were less kids looking for him and it got to a point to where he was not making enough to buy more lollipops. So what did he do? It was pretty clear that the market had a ceiling. The kids have spoken and he lowered his price back down and eventually got enough money for a down payment on the car he wanted.
Economics 101 fellas. That kid was me! The kids at my school voted with their wallet.
Here's an article I found from the NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/20/b...ket-power.html.
"A basic rule of economics is that the price depends on how willing consumers are to buy something else.
The less consumers pay attention when they buy — and the more they just follow a set shopping pattern.
— the greater the market power possessed by the seller, and the more that seller can charge.
Modern companies know this very well, and they do what they can to improve their advantages over unwary consumers.
I've unwittingly been caught in consumer traps myself."
Who works for who?

OMG, you guys are way over thinking this. The price is determined between the guy and the girl. If her rate is too high then move on to the next one. Maybe that next one has a rent payment due or has a need to visit her street pharmacist. If you think there's any way in Hell that you're going to set a market rate then you're fucking insane.
You're basically talking about setting a market rate using Keynesian economic theory when a good portion of the suppliers wake up in the morning and don't even know what day of the week it is. There are guys on this site and guys that are not. Do you really think that you're going to get them all in alignment to say only pay xx dollars to a certain girl?
Some guys will pay a premium for extra time, some will pay a premium for beauty, some will pay a premium for certain fetishes and some will pay a premium for other preferences. To think that you will get USASG and non USASG members in alignment is absolute foolishness.
If everyone moves on from the girl that has too high of a rate then it will come down.

Interesting that in that entire article, which clearly points out the power of the customer vs the business, you only acknowledge that one piece of sentence, but refuse to acknowledge the message. LOL And you have a way with twisting my words into things that I never said, like "we should set the price at $10"....?? I never said that. You're trying to battle with wits, and you're not very good at it. You have a very liberal nature about you. LOL.

And yes I pay for pussy sometimes. Duh! I don't deny that, BUT I don't put pussy on a pedestal and I don't always pay for it, but when I do, I don't give my business to the GPS hoes! And yes, I can get it for free!
Once last point, as pointed out in the article: "The bottom line is this: You can have all the OEMs and partners you want. You can satisfy their needs all you want. But if the product you manufacture doesn't add value, doesn't sell, or isn't something the end customer cares about, both you and your partners are going to go out of business. " "ECON 101" Smh
WHO WORKS FOR WHO? You still have not answered that question!

Posts: 2851Nope, still incorrect
Your belief that we, and we alone, set the price is incorrect. If that were true, why not set it at $10? Or maybe even $5? After all, if WE set the prices, then let's set it as low as we want, then cost would never prohibit us from indulging in the hobby. If you're correct, WE could do that. But let's be honest, you know that will never happen. Why? Because, as I've been saying all along, WE are only part of the equation, the providers are part of the equation too. Quoting from the article you cited, "Of course, customers are only half of the equation. Companies are the other half. " So thank you for that, your own article confirms exactly what I've been saying all along, BOTH sides of the equation factor into the ultimate decision on price.

I do agree with your last point though, there really should be nothing to debate on this simple issue of economics.
