I've  noticed several touring ladies posting ads at some pretty  high rates. Wonder how they will do. We have excellent local talent at a fraction of what some of these ladies are asking.

in SoCal and Vegas suggesting that business might be slow at the rates they are posting.  Most were receptive and wanted suggestions as to what price point might be best in each market.  I suggested they also inquire on the Providers Only board.

The gals on Backpage for SD are the best looking I have seen in the country.  I just never use Backpage unless they have reviews somewhere.  Do you guys use it often?

BP is a good place to look at as a resource. Photo's are usually posted as part of the add. But I would never date anyone there unless you find reviews here or someplace else.

That's balsy. Surprised you didnt get ripped a new one.

When you saw an ad for a provider that was higher than what you want to donate  was to simply move on. I would never  send a PM like that  

Totally agree hh. What they choose to ask is their business IMHO.

the "Jump to Conclusions" Board.  I would never INITIATE such a conversation, but when a visiting girl posts something like, "Is it slow for everyone right now or is it just me?"  or "I'm visiting and not sure if I'm advertising in the right place" it is often because they are a NY or DC girl trying to bring their East coast rates to the West coast.  I would also never comment publicly about a specific girl's rates, so I PM and share a little of my inner marketing genius with then.  90% have been positive and effusive  with their appreciation.  Recently had a visiting provider in Vegas offer me two hours for one in appreciation of my help and suggestions after she had a very successful week applying my tips.  

But how else are they supposed to impress the women on this board?  /s

ever be a dick, but since I have one, sometimes its in charge, especially when it comes to my hobby.

The one thing ladies dont want to hear from a hobbiest is that her rates are too high.  Bad form bro.  It is what it is, move on.

attempt to say "who's looking out for you, Ms. Provider," and hands start going up. Most providers are very sharp and don't really need our help, but on the rare occasion one seems to be floundering, I will do it privately by PM, and if she doesn't seem receptive, I will politely excuse myself and drop it. Don't need to have the exchange be public to rack up brownie points.

I've seen ms. Mercedes. She is doing quite well. As a matter of fact there are 21 pages of "Mercedes" reviews.

he'd lie and exaggerate the exclusiveness of the Mercedes. I would do my research and determine a fair market value before stepping on the lot, so when he asks what will it take to get you into this model today, I'll have an answer.

I must be missing all these posts about ladies struggling... Because I see no posts anywhere for the SD area that would suggest a provider needed some dude to message her with unsolicited advice.

I think you may have missed the part about him not initiating the conversation.

 Any guy who contacts a provider regarding her rate is a rude in my opinion - plain and simple.  
   
 Anyone here remember when I came in as Goldie? Anyone?  
 Well here is a reminder: NOT ONE PROVIDER WAS ASKING OVER 500 HOURLY IN SAN DIEGO BEFORE THAT. And only a handful in LA were asking more than 500 with the exception of porn stars and legit models.  
 And how many now? And how many guys do you think messaged me either telling me I won't get that rate or that it's too high or that the market in SD won't be agreeable to that donation or every other excuse in the book to try and bully my rates down. That was in 2012. I have not lowered my rate since (with the exception of special offers of course) and am even considering raising my rate or minimum booking time. I even doubled my minimum booking rate for a while to be more exclusive to a special lover while my longer date rate was the same.  
   
   
 Bottom line: just mind your own business when it comes to rate.  
 Discussing rates is a turn off for us firstly as well as it making you appear to not appreciate our value.  
 We may not be "worth" the rate to you but that doesn't mean we welcome your input on such matters.

It,s their prerogative to ask what ever they wish. It's yours to accept or not. There is no need to bargain and debate rates. Either they get business or they drop the rates. It's expensive for the touring ones to get here and setup. If they don't get enough business, they will either lower rates or quit visiting.

making is that some touring girls don't even know the rate is why they are not getting business.  They just bring their NY rate and then wonder why nobody here wants to see them.  If they post about no business, I will tell them in a PM my opinion.  Most didn't realize that was the problem and thanked me for pointing t out.

appointed yourself spokesman for all providers that may be in, or visiting, San Diego, or any other city that has a board on TER, it is not going to change that fact that I will still assist and advise any provider that seeks advice on a public board, or by PM to me privately, in any way I can.  If you knew the real identity that goes with Coeur-de-Lion, you would understand a little better.  No one knows the connection, so maybe we have even met, maybe not.  I'll never tell.  Lol

Aside from the donation, I'm impressed by the mileage some providers accumulate.  I noticed a recent ad that indicates San Diego will be the 4th stop of a provider's national tour, Denver-Philadelphia-SF-SD, and we get her starting on her 11th consecutive day "in the saddle".  I'll pass on that service.

I'm surprised you have so many reviews if mileage bothers you.  Most providers work, or at least would be willing to work, more than 11 days in a row.
