[QUOTE=Bionicman; 1193031]This out things in another perspection!
I was not suggesting you raise the price levels but simply you were paying a lot (=out of your pocket) and that (similar, somehopw, of course) level of girls can be obtained for much less (I am not suggesting 1000 here.)
If you can get back the major part of the bill, then it is like buying a Mercedes at the price of a Golf: do it! .
But if you pay out of your pocket a Mercedes to drive 10km, then rent a Golf.[/QUOTE]For another perspective, I travel a lot on business but it is my own business and all expenses come out of my pocket. I do not get a free ride from anyone.
While I do watch my expenses and do not waste money, I also travel at a business class level. I pay a bit more for an upgraded seat on the airplane. If there is a club floor at my hotel, I book it. And I rarely stay anywhere without a club floor.
When it comes to mongering, I am in it for the variety of experiences. I have had a 200bht for a full afternoon GFE romp in Chinatown in BKK. I have spent well over $5000 US for a couple hours at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada with one of the stars of their TV series.
I will pay a price that is appropriate to the occasion. I rarely argue about price. If it is unreasonable, I just pass. She probably would not be worth it anyway. But if it is within the range I am willing to pay for the experience offered, then I go for it. And if she really makes me happy, I tip well.
For the most part, I am paying right at the going rate for the given venue. I am experienced enough and know what I am doing and don't tolerate obvious rip offs and scammers. But sometimes you just see something that makes you say,"Damn, I'd give anything for some of that" and you pay it. That is what making money is all about. Using it to enjoy life.
