This question is specifically to provider's. What are some of the reasons given, by a hobbiest, why you should lower your donation rate for him/her?

This is not a question about why you should or should not, or for hobbiest to justify why they do or don't ask. I'm just looking for the words that actually come out of the hobbiest's mouth.

Thanks for your input.

P.S. No, I'm not fishing for lines that work (lol).

A Monday Post about the exact same issue.

Why is having the exact words so important?

How does this help fellow hobbyists?

How does this help the ladies?

How does it make anyone's hobbying experience better?

Again I come back to: What is the Point?


I am really NOT trying to be a dick, but what positive contribution to the hobbying world does this third post serve?

Truthfully I think that he is looking for lines to use himself. Can't think of any other reason to post this self-serving bullshit.

I have a lot of provider friends who are appauled with this very subject. One in a BBW who has tons of guys telling her that because she does not look as good as the typical girl charging her rate of $300, that she should in fact lower her rates. On the other hand, I know a few HDH type girls charging MORE than girls that look better and provide more activities.

It really is THIS SIMPLE...either pay what the girl requests or move along and find one for cheap. Then you can come back and write a review that the cheaper girl disappointed you and put her down too!  

I could not see any provider wanting to see you knowing your POV on this subject...let alone your take on leaving a tip if they give you the FULL hour.

Try the truck stop will ya!

Since 4 of the 15 posts to my original post were from women, and I wanted to know more about the issue from a woman's perspective, I thought I would repost, thinking that perhaps I had not asked the question clearly enough. It's really that simple.

But, I'm confused about how my question to the ladies gets flamed by the guys.

I'm not certain how helpful the question is to providers or hobbiests. I wasn't aware that that was one of the conditions to post.

On that note, I'm not too certain how helpful the recent post on "A Song for the Ages" was.

1.  The song post wasn't on the same page as TWO other song posts, and

2.  What could possibly make you think that asking a third time will get you a different result than the first two times?  Implying that you had to clarify  the question is insulting to the ladies' intelligence.

The subject is lame anyway.  We're talking about how pathetic losers try to bargain shop getting laid.

This is not a flame, this is just a plea to Please Give It A Rest.

1. I do not understand your first point.

2. The original question was, "Is anyone else tired of guys trying to get ladies to lower their rate?" And, it was not so much a question but an opportunity for the poster to get something "off my chest." If you read my two posts, that is not my question, nor my intent.

3. I'm not trying to insult the ladies, but rather make it clear that it is their input I am seeking. I apologize to all the ladies if I have insulted their sensibilities, truly.

4. And, I'm quite open to receiving feedback, from them, indicating that whether or not my question is inappropriate.

5. If I receive no response, I will take that to mean none of them is interested in asnwering the question.

6. In that case, I promise there will not be a third post.

We are all anonymous.  I am not moderating, or I would have eradicated your post with the push of a button, but, since I do not have that power (thank God), I can only offer my opinion, which I did.

Since no provider has responded directly to your Donation Lowering Redux post since it's inception, I hope you will fulfill your pledge to not post it again.  :-)

The lady of your dreams may only turn on her computer once a year to save on the electricity bill.  She's out there wondering where you are and how thin is your wallet.  Its your right to free speech, only at least discounted speech.  

Those are my exact words, by the way.

want to add those songs to their rotation.

I also thought that some hobbysts might want to serenade their significant others with those songs.

It was a public service and it added levity to this board.


Also, I have no gender confusion.  I am a hot skinny lesbian trapped in the body of a fat guy!

I think the point is that they're tired of essentially the same post in a matter of days.

I think that any valuable answers you were going to get were already posted, but reposting it and asking for only the ladies' pov isn't going to change the lack of those ladies that didn't want to respond or the men jumping in as well.

I couldn't care less as I ignore all such requests anyway, not that I get many.  I focus on something more productive.  Same goes for reasons for canceling appointments.

Just wanting to compare your experience with my experience regarding what some people say so as to get me to reduce my rate for my services. For me, I experience people espousing hardship, one reason or another regarding entitlement, or outright expressions of devaluation. I'm just wondering if you have experiencd some of the same expressions of hardship, entitlement or devaluation. However, I can understand if you don't want to spend much time thinking about it. Thank you for your response. By the way, I can see why you don't get many guys trying to talk you down.

I think you should post this everyday for the next year.  There might be a provider out there with your perfect answer, and she may only check in on this discussion board once a year.  Then the two of you can get together and plan out an affordable life, clipping coupons and sending mail-in rebates.  When your love for all things discounted blossoms into a long term savings bond romance, you can get married at a Vegas Chapel, but not inside the Chapel.  Instead tie the knot out by the dumpster in the parking lot by a hobo minister assisted by his crippled dog "lipstick".  Should the stork smile upon you and bring you a bundle of joy in the future, make sure its a thrifty child.  Otherwise go with an abortion.

I hope this helps.

An old man walks into a deli to buy a pound of Baloney....

Old Man:How much is your Baloney?
Clerk: $2.00 a pound sir, how much would you like?
Old Man: TWO DOLLARS! Why, the deli across the street has it for $1.98 a pound. This is highway robbery!
Clerk: I'm sorry you feel that way sir, why don't you go ahead and buy the Baloney from the deli across the street?
Old Man: He's all out!

Substitute the old man for a negotiating hobbyist, the clerk for a provider, the baloney for an hour of FS and "he's all out" for "she no-showed" and you will get my drift...

Outlaw Jose Wales, one of the best movies ever made.

That's one of my favorites.  Another that's definitely in my top 5 is from "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark."  She had just hit her head on something and someone asked her how her head was.  Without missing a beat, she said "I haven't had any complaints, yet."

Sudden Impact on the City Heat in A Perfect World.

I am sure your Million Dollar Baby Enforcer is driving her Pink Cadillac to Heartbreak Ridge to pick up the Pale Rider, The Outlaw Josie Wales, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, to come issue me an Eiger Sanction.

But I am used to being in The Line Of Fire, ever since Kelly's Heroes and I spent that summer on Coogan's Bluff doing Blood Work with The Rookie and Joe Kidd.

So run the Gaunlet over the Bridges of Madison County Any Which Way You Can, But Any Which Way But Loose and we will see who ends up with Absolute Power you tin horn Space Cowboy.

By the way if you miss me, it is probably because I went to see The Honky Tonk Man's sex show featuring Bronco Billy, Breezy, Firefox and Two Mules For Sister Sara who Paint Your Wagon with Rawhide For a Few Dollars More.

Trouble Along the Way.  Rinding on The Wings of Eagles as The Conquerer shacking up with the ladies like The Barbarian and the Geisha.  Where I come from, the Red River, (sometimes I'm known as The Lucky Texas, we take offense to those who post here Without Reservations and cause us to return to the Lawless Nineties.  who would want that.  I prefer the Quiet Man who takes a Lady for a Night instead of Girls (who) Demand Excitment.  So come with me over to the Speakeasy where Two-Fisted Law can be set aside and we can be Pals of the Saddle... rather than The Spoilers... We can each show our True Grit... after all - neither of us are The Shootist... you know... Peter North!
