Just like everything else: "you get out of life, what you put into it." Reviews and Sessions alike: one can write a lack-luster review or a great one; they may even be related--good sessions spawn good reviews. BNGs may deserve the same on paper. Yes; I spend a good deal of time on mine because having them be engaging, accurate, and grammatically correct is important to me. While you are labeling men as being the opposite of the
near-perfection body we desire, some of us put our efforts into other aspects of our presentation; like our writing.
I'm not saying there is a correlation between your quality and the quantity of time men want to see you nor their desire to write a review, but it is possible. If you want to see some changes, offer a substantial review special for your longer sessions; you'll get some thorough reviews.
In general, RE: pricing, if men are haggling or the phone isn't ringing, your prices are too high. OR, men have been trained to bargain by society whenever there is not a fixed price on a commodity, and it may be a gender thing: I know that women are terrible hagglers at flea markets and garage sales, where they are being sized-up by the retailer, and men are successful under the same circumstances. After a decade of economic strife, this might just be a developed survival mechanism.
I think Austin is an interesting market: there is a large divide between Haves and Have-nots here. We have a substantial amount of people in Tech who have great salaries and, conversely, a huge amount of people who exist to serve them. Interestingly, they mostly all dress like Hipsters and have smartphones, so its impossible to tell them apart!
Men are probably not trying to be rude or cheap so much as frugal. Maybe appreciate that you are dealing with people who make either $130,000 a year or $38,000 a year. A 100k divide makes it confusing for providers to find their spot here, but the dialogue is always welcome, even if it comes with a tinge of red.
