What's the world coming to!
Back in my old haunts in Abu Dhabi after an absence of some months.
There appears to have been some inflation going on. Friday night at Blitz I could not seem to charm a PRC for LT at 300AED; will try again on a weeknight. PRC starting points for negotiation were in the 500-700AED range. I reset my calibration at 400AED and plucked what appeared to be a nice one with a good attitude. Did my normal interview at the venue establishing price, leaving time etc and thought all was well. Got her back to the hotel, small talk, massage, DATY and she appeared to be warmed up nicely. But then came the shocker, doesn't do BBBJ, only covered! I was amazed. In my many years of experience with AUH PRC "business ladies" this was the first that had ever balked at a BBBJ. Is this a trend? I normally don't include that in the interview thinking that the provider may be hesitant to agree to such an intimate relationship with the little bro prior to seeing that he is clean with no perceptible festering sores. Not ready to change my current practice just yet unless this aversion appears to be spreading.
After a short discussion I invited the young lady to leave and gave her 200 for her trouble (it was early enough that she could go back to the office and catch someone else). She was not happy.
