It sets a very bad precedent to give time away. Ladies, you go to these meet and greets to hopefully find clients, right? Do you want dead beat clients trying to find the lowest rates and then expecting you to go to lunch with them (etc) sans fee becuz they are being so generous buying you lunch? Lunch being your payment/treat? Men who have established the mind set that you are a woman who expects less? those are men who never tip but short you a few bills. Those are men who pay you the discount rate you gave them 6 months ago when you needed to pay the electric bill urgently.
What you sell is your time.. as much as so many of these men want to think it is something else (which is really disrespectful way to think about you). A meet and greet might be a very good idea but you (whoever organizes) should charge the men a small fee to attend. IMHO at MINIMUM $25 but I would think $50 is more reasonable. (that isn't much at all to hang out with a room full of hot chicks who are guaranteed to be chummy) It would be a way to weed out the looky Lou's wanting to attend for the wrong reasons.Especially if, as one poster suggested, you include the chat group that cannot be named.. which is primarily a group of the worst bottom feeders EVER... scumbags, game players, and all around disrespectful and problem people. If the space doesn't charge for a separate group meeting room then maybe divide what is collected and distribute to the ladies who attend with some stipulation that the lady must stay and really mingle for at least an hour. The fine points would need to be worked out but I doubt too difficult. Here I get preachy:
I expect the men are thinking their part is to buy food and drink ONLY.
Like I said... Really wrong attitude for a client to have.
You sell time ladies and to ask for a teeny tiny contribution for your time and beautiful companionship so many can meet is really a tremendous favor to the men. Don't let them twist it around and make you think your total worth is the purchase of a drink and a biscuit. You are a professional.. your energy and kindness and ability to make a persons world sunny is valuable.
Skills as valuable as a doctor or lawyers. and you never hear someone say to a doctor "hey if you really like what you do why do you charge money for it?" Only something to think about. Do not give your time away.
Are there any Meet & Greets in Dallas? If not, is there any interest in one?
i could be interested... with the right people of course.
Absolutely. Make it fun and drama free
as long as it's very discrete...
absolutely, it would need to be in a private location that is discreet and fun.
January would work for me.
How about a bacchanalia at a private upscale location that requires attendees to"
1) Pass Screening
2) Dress in Roman Garb
3) No Cameras allowed
4) Have a special invitation/ie code name for guest list
5) Entrance fee to cover the cost of entertainment and libations
Question:
1) What day of the week is best for this type of event?
2) Should it be post or pre New Year
3) Is a Bacchanalia fun?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Keep in mind that most of the guys are married and will have to make excuses to get out as it is. It will be even more difficult for these guys to explain a toga.
Keeping with that same thought about the married guys, it seems like midweek seems to be the best time for such parties. Some guys like myself can make any night of the week, but it seems like mid week, or even a Monday are the nights that most of the guys are able to make.
Screening is very important as well, it helps to have the "screener" be a respected member of the community, and "Plus 1's" need to be screened as well. We certainly don't want any reporters sneaking in like NY when the idiot host dropped the ball.
Hey Gambler this is great advice!!! What do you think of having it in January?
Hopefully I will be in Asia until the first or second week of January.
I envy you! Have a great time.
I looked at your website link and am wondering if you are trying to sell some service? since it seems your biz is the arrange events... or arrange companions or ?
I would think a meet and greet is something escorts could handle on their own with a benefit to the group of girls that show up
I am also interested! However I think dressing casually/slightly dressed up is best if we're trying to be discreet. I would def be down and January would be a good time for me! My bday is in January 
hehe
Keep us posted! Maybe we can get a small gathering together & make it a fun event!
