Do You Always Get What You Pay For?

[Sweet N Little]

I personally went by what i thought was the norm (what most of the ladies in my area were doing) and it happened to work out for me. Ive noticed some are above & some are below , i like a happy medium.

Same here. I also don't give out pics which-to an extent-hurts business. I think maybe if I charged less the no pic issue wouldn't be as big a deal but I don't think I could charge much more without them.

Yes, I always get what I pay for.

When it comes to time alone with a woman, time that often involves physical intimacy, you really can't put a price on it.

I'm not exactly sure how to express the idea; but what is given has value beyond the pecuniary. It is like a priceless work of art. When it is given a price is set because *some* price has to be set; but that price is always less than its true value because it is unique, personal and irreplaceable. The art has value that is not measurable in money.

If the Mona Lisa were for sale, would there be any difference in its ACTUAL value depending on whether one paid $200 or $800 for it? No -- because it is worth far more than either price.

This is why it is very common to find a provider who charges $200 or $250 whose company you enjoy as much or more than a provider who charges $800 or $1000. All of those prices, in reality, have no relation whatsoever to the intrinsic value of what is imparted.

As for me, my attitude is that I am not engaged in fee for service. Rather, I am engaged in compensated dating*. As such, my fee pays to facilitate a lifestyle that allows us the opportunity to meet. It does NOT pay for specific services. As previously alluded, those things are priceless anyway and can't be purchased. The price is simply what that particular lady requires given her lifestyle, etc. to make meeting practical.

Because I select providers based essentially on the fact I like them as people; without regard to the specifics of pricing structure, I always get what I paid for -- which is the opportunity for us to share some time. Sex with someone you like and appreciate is *always* good sex. Granted, there are variations in skills and so forth; but for me the matter of WHO I am with is more important than the details of what is being done.

It is rare for me to have an unsatisfactory appointment. Anytime that has happened, it is directly attributable to my failing to take my own personality into account and doing something that -- for me -- is stupid. That is, a couple of times I have essentially booked random women because they were pretty. Bad move. I can't stand disembodied sex without any context.

* Note that this attitude means that providers are treated as though they were civies with the single exception that they give up certain rights of pursuit that a civie woman would have. They can be buddies and we can fool around, but they can't engage in /serious/ romantic pursuit.

well stated Laurentius!! Using a priceless mona lisa is very nice way of putting it and a nice touch.

To Daphne and Sweet N Little. I look like that Avatar, in my pictures from about 40 years ago.

Now, about all that's left is the hat.

I think the bottom line here is to do your home work before you see someone,when you do be respectful,pay what you are comfortable with,repeat if you enjoyed yourself,there is definately a developed "comfort zone" that developes with seeig someone regularly,you may even end up being friends in some ways. Everyone who does this thinks differently.

You smell and when I offer my shower you say no.
You short my donation
You are an ass
You bite my lady parts
You are aggressive

Not sure how to answer the rate question. I dont want to see a billion gents. So I keep it at 200 and above, I do have to eat, survive and be comfortable, so im not going to charge truck stop prices. I also want to see gentlemen who want to see me. Not just because my prices is low. And they cant pass up a good deal.

Hope that answers your question. :-)

ROTFL... Amen!

Thanks,I do try..I probably sound like a one man crusade for being nice to people but Ive seen and heard alot of negative things over the years and just want people to know that we dont need to be nasty to each other. A little respect is always returned,goes back to the "do unto others" thing I guess.
