I hear you!
That you would never spend that kind of money for any "package"
But, are you serious? That you think, no one would? You can't be that na...
I can say that I have! I have paid more... Why not?
I'm not welthy... I just don't mind spending for the right ones...
I have run into few, that are not worth the money...
and I have run into some that are worth every penny!
It certainly isn't "outrageous"
Everyone has a different life style and needs!
Some drive a Saturn and some drive a Benz!
You can have Fuddruckers or you can have Ruth Chris...
or look at it this way...
You can make 3 pleasant or unpleasant trips to AMP's for about 500...
or you can make 2 pleasant or unpleasant trips to see a provider for 500...
It's only 1 trip difference... But, I'm sure that 1 extra trip makes all the
difference for you!
I can honestly say, that sometimes it's worth the money...
Much more relaxing, don't have to worry about time, better service...
Sometimes, I like the quickies... I have had some awesome trips to AMP's...
You just have to choose wisely...
But, it's all about having the option to choose...
I travel quite a bit, I have seen all the AMP scenes and many Private Providers around the country and around the world.
Even in Korea, you can expect to pay 500 to 1000 or more for some of
the top providers. Yes, they are model material and they were awesome!
The L.A. scene has changed the most, since the sweep.
There are lot more independent providers now.
I'm sure there are profesionals on this board, that may make 500 an hour.
Do you work 9am to 4am everyday? "That is 19 HOURS a day"
And you guys expect them to be in the best of mood everyday, working 19 hours a day? Are you kidding me?
Why do you think the senior members on this board, always mentions to treat
the providers well... Would you say that earning 1000 per day, is too much?
For all the shit that they go through everyday? Why do you think, they have
to take a break every month or so...
Could you keep your sanity, working 19 hours a day?
You guys think what they do is easy money?
I've seen them cry, pant, pass out from exhaustion...
I don't think anyone has the right to b*tch about what they earn!
Put yourself in their shoes! Could you do any job for 19 hours a day?
You'd probably say, no one can ever pay you enough!
Am I doing something wrong? If I decide to tip a little extra to a good
provider, when I have some extra cash? or when I get a bonus?
I am all for keeping the fares down...
But, you have to understand... Tipping a little extra keeps them on their
game! Cause they would like people to recognize, when they give their all!
Just like any of us! How would you feel? If you never get recognized for
your hard work, even when you go beyond the call of duty.
I've heard numerous times. Whats the point of performing beyond the
minimum? When most in DC pays the minimum? If they are going to get
compensated for the effort?
So, every city needs the hobbyists that seek the "quantity" and
every city needs the hobbyists that seek the "quality"
That is one way to keep the industry strong!
And I like having the variety! I'm all for it!
We should feel fortunate, that we have the variety and options...
Sorry, for the long post about this issue.
But, I had to speak my mind!
Like my handle, I am a hobbyist... I'm about understanding both sides...
Take care of them and they will take care of you!
Damn, I hope I don't get attacked for this post...
Just my opinion...
Peace out!
