[QUOTE=AnonMous;2763088]Most of the times I've never brought up when the damage would be payable i.e. upfront or afterwards and I'd say in roughly 80-90% of the cases, the girls have gone with the flow. For when things hadn't been settled beforehand, a few girls did demand it once we were back in the room or during early stages of foreplay. In such situations, I tell them to take a good look at the room they are in (mostly suites in 5* hotels) and ask if they really think that I am going to stiff or short change them. This approach always works and reassures them. I guess they realize that a guy who can spend more on a room for a night, than their damage + tip combined, is going to be as good as his word. This is Human Psychology 101, IMHO. And, I feel, this would be true for other hobbyists as well.
Of course, there have been cases where the girl was absolutely adamant about moolah being dispensed upfront and wouldn't budge and I've gone ahead regardless. But, these were few and far between[/QUOTE]I agree with your points. As a general rule (based on my personal experience of course), if you're seeing the girl the first time, more often than not she will ask for payment upfront and I understand that. There are some real douchebags out there that have ripped the girls off, I have heard some really shitty stories so can understand them being leery about this. However, I totally agree with you that where you reside, how you dress, etc goes a long way in alleviating the girls concerns about getting ripped off. When a few girls recently came to my apartment, they could see branded stuff and the nice view / location and hence one told me that she knew she wouldn't be getting ripped off. So that does help. But if a girl asks for payment upfront the first time you're seeing her, I think it's OK because they have had some really shitty experiences with some punters. Once I repat a girl and some trust is developed, payment is never mentioned and she knows I'll slip her 'gift' in her bag at the end.
