You have no idea what you are talking about. Never got ripped off once in this fashion, in more years than you have spent at this. I know how to communicate and more importantly I have a radar that goes off before I ever meet someone who could potentially rip me off.
I earn a living representing people who get ripped off in real life so I have a pretty good idea of how this works. People who have lost their life savings to a scam, not $40 to a crack whore who ran out to get her next fix before you got your blow job.
My post was in no way a personal attack and was meant to illustrate the absurdity of your position. Most people found it funny because they know your position is absurd in many if not most market encounters. Business is simply not done this way as a matter of course by the HDH level agencies and indies and for the most part at the MDH level. We also now see that you are not the only one in this thread with a thin skin.
Bottom line if you are targeting street trash your approach might be advisable. With any of the market price agencies or indies and up you immediately cast yourself as a cheap ass or as a suspicious person and start the session on an immediate negative note. The vast majority of the readers on this board know this without me having to say it. Of course you also overlook that many agency girls are trained to collect the basic donation up front.
And neither do you know what you are talking about. You analysis is based on Merb culture, Merb agencies and Merb SPs. My post I put in response to you is a true story. It is events that a stripper I had take out with did. She ripped of a few clients that way. My position is based on strippers and Annonces123 girls. This is a underground market with no rules. Only the law of the street prevails. One has to be street smart. My post more directed at people who still want to book Annonces123 girls. Girls who scam clients do not do it at random. They do it selectively. They pick naive gullible morons. What you term as cheap ass on the flip side of the coin I term as sucker.
Other thing is that I do not deal with Merb agencies. The last time I booked a SP was something in winter of 2012. Close to two years. Merb agencies got reviews and a rep to back them up much like going into a major department store. But booking strippers and annonces123 girls is like going to the black market. I know the risks involved when doing it. In the seven years I been having take out with strippers only two have tried to scam me. The one thing I noticed is that the girls who provided me honest service NEVER asked to be paid upfront. The two girls who tried to scam me asked to be paid upfront. And I remember one stripper telling me that whenever a girl asks to be paid upfront it usually means she is planning something bad.
Now remember I am not talking about Merb agencies or Merb SPs. But even then there are bait and switch agencies advertizing here. Now this guy Baggynuts claims that Jenni ran off with his money. I dunno if that is true and there are many questionable content to his story. But let us assume it was true imagine a girl after two years of repeat business runs off with your money. What guarantee do you have? Absolutely none. There are no rules. Consider the absurdity of paying upfront to someone you do not even know. As for Merb agencies when I did book a SP I remember leaving the donation on a table. I had no issue with that because I know the agency is well reviewed and has a rep. When dealing with strippers sorry I got to protect my own interests as I got no trust in them I believe they are fully capable of ripping off anyone if the opportunity arose.
