I would love to help de-stress you.

CPI, Sir, WOW....

I think you may have misread her legitimate question. I do not see gaming or people complaining about prices. And I think the folks are being pretty on point and respectful.

Tara,

I think CPI needs to be first. Then you can destress the rest of us.

Max, we don't always see eye to eye but thanks for asking us our opinions. I hope some of the information was usefull to you and the other ladies.

I think maybe CPI just didn't have enough coffee this morning, or maybe he's needing "Someone Special" .....

It's been very helpful and given me some ideas for upcoming "Specials" ads...thanks to everyone for their input!

I definitely need some de-stressing.

And this is just a personal thing. I am just sick and tired of pricing threads by both sides, bareback threads, and pimp threads.

To answer the question with my own thoughts and observations is that "specials" mean that there is a group of guys who will only see you at "special" time. We have an economically more diverse group of hobbyists now that we have thousands currently viewing the site. It's a lot different than when I found ASPD and TER on the Internet many moons ago.

Sorry .. I was distracted ... on the phone trying to see if I could talk this pimp down a few $$ to bareback his lady. What did you say?

I agree...you do. We all know that specials are not a new idea coming to the ECCIE board. We are ALL tired of price threads and gents telling us how to run our business. However, the kinds of specials that are most paid attention to was a legitimate question and didn't really have to do with what the costs are.....just what generates more interest. Sorry you thought this was anything other than that.

Go get you some, hon!

[Guest030911]

You do get a lot of men telling you how to run your biz and damn few really know what they are talking about.

[Guest082216-1]

Now now, ....

In any business, there are those who only shop bargans. Part of doing business. But, it can only take a few new, regular customers to make it all worth while. And, if a guy only hobbies when its a bargan to him, so? As long as he is not an ass, so what? He got what he wants, she got what she wants. Someone can be a jurk no matter what they pay just like there are plenty of nice guys who just hobby when they get the best value for their doller.

Its how they behave that is the issue, not how much they pay. Criticize the behavor that is not desired instead of just lumping people together. There is nothing wrong with being a bargan hunter. Being an ass about it is totaly different.

Which is why I usually keep my mouth shut!

Ain't that the truth!?!?!? LOL

Let me be perfectly clear (oh, shit the ghost of Nixon) providers should charge what they want, the market will tell them if they are priced right. That said, I do look for specials, especially (is that redundant?) price reductions on providers I would like to see but are out of my physiological price range.

Here is where I get into Provider Hell, in my experience I find little (in fact no) difference in the HPH and the $$ provider, maybe youth and looks but BCD the bang to hipe ratio is all out of wrack. So, yes if I am enamored with a $$$ provider that drops into my blue collar range, as the Billionaire Russian Gangster says on the TV commercial says "I jump in it".

For the OP and the other ladies, do specials work? There is a provider from Houston that comes to Dallas on occasion to collect her payment on my second mortgage. When you coming to collect Reese?

[1Curiousguy]

Actually specials do not determine who I see. I see the lady that I am currently enamored with the most. If she has a special, great, if not and she is in my price range, I will see her. I might only see her for an hour as oppposed to a longer time if she has a special, but that's just the economics at work.

If a lady were to have a special I would like more time. To me an hour with a quality lady just isn't enough. Being on a budget means that it usually has to do.

I play rarely and when I do I usually have someone particular that I want to see. My calendar is also difficult which means that I can't just drop everything when a special comes along. Now if there are several ladies that I want to see and one of them has a special, that might be a deciding factor. But I cannot honestly say that anyone's special has ever moved me to go out and play when I had not planned on it.

[NeedingMore]

Location is more important than cost, but the special rate brings you front and center, both with awareness and savings, assuming all things equal.

Where's Tara's special? I'm ready right now...literally!

Doubles for me...
