i don't know guys. getting mentally prepared for a negative negotiation before walking in the room? think about it. what are you there for? all i'm saying is that when i finally let go of all that stuff so i could focus on being relaxed, ready for a great experience, then i found more and more enjoyment and fulfillment. The entire experience felt the way a great massage should. If it cost me 20 more, even 40 more, then i can evaluate later and decide if i'm ever returning. But the experience itself started to dictate whether i come back, not the 20 or 40 bucks. Yes sometimes i get disappointed, but far far less. Its always "to each their own", but i just want to spin this convo if it helps a dude or two find greater levels of satisfaction.
