Not going to bash your opinion Catman as I can see your point, however, I have never experienced the "thugs", or the nickle and diming situation. I have been asked for outrageous rates but not just at Seductions, I have experienced this at other spas and SPs so I am not sure this is unique to Seduction.
Anytime the request is for what I think is outrageous I just let the person know what I am willing to pay, if we don't come to an agreement I either take the basics (without a tip) or I walk. I haven't walked from a spa but I have walked on a few SPs and they are not happy about it but hey, if they were more reasonable I wouldn't walk. I usually try and get negotiating completed by phone before heading out but I have had a couple times where I was told one thing just to get me there then have the SP change her rate once I arrived. I learned that this is a common thing for some as they thing once you get there you won't leave. I am one who will and I can still see the shocked look on a couple faces as I walked. As for spas, I did meet a very popular girl one time at a spa that wasn't Seduction, she wanted what I thought was an unreasonable amount for extras so I said no to the extras and just went for the happy ending and left. I have not been back to see her.
I think you are correct that by not entertaining their unrealistic rates and then not seeing the person again is a good way to go, however, depending on how popular the girl is, there is always someone else that will go and see her. So the popular girls are always going to be popular and will not see a big difference if a few people do not repeat with them The less popular girls will see a difference, so they will either change their ways or get out of the business and move on. I know a couple of SPs that have moved on as they said the rates they were getting have been dropping and when they try to charge more they are not getting the customers. One girl who is still around once in a while use to work in a strip club and would do extras, said she use to charge something like $300, but when she went the SP route she was only getting $120 for hh. She tried to go back to the stripper route but by then there were younger and just as good or better looking girls working at the clubs so she stayed in the SP world for a few years.
I will continue to go to Seductions but will avoid those who try any of the shit above with me. I know I may end up seeing them once but I don't give a lot of second chances. I have only seen 4 girls at Seduction and I have to say I had a great time all 4 times. I have only seen one of the four on shift lately.
