My recipe for successful mongering in Budapest
Brothers.
I've been getting personal messages asking for advice on Budapest and requests to meet for a beer and advice. Unfortunately, I don't live in BP. I visit a few times for work and I don't know when my next visit will be.
I am happy to post reviews and general advice on here. If you follow my instructions as directed you should have results with little or no side effects, but as usual, YMMV.
1. Get an apartment, not a hotel. There's no issues with smirking or disapproving receptionists and security. They're also often cheaper and you have more space.
One downside is that they won't have a safe and so you need to find a good hiding place for your wallet phone etc when girls visit. Most of the girls are not thieves but why take the chance? The only other potential downside is if the owner lives in apartment in the same block. This happened to me once with airbnb. The owner lived across the courtyard and could see exactly who was coming and going, so I had to go to the girls' apartments! Shit happens.
2. Get a place in or close to the center V & VI districts. This puts you at center of the transport network, making it easier to use the public transit system if you are going to the girls places. Budapest public transit is usually efficient, safe and cheap.
If the thought of getting on a subway train or tram is just too much for you and you want a taxi, NEVER hail a taxi on the street. The Lonely Planet book has a section on this. If you want a taxi call a reputable company like fotaxi.hu. They won't rip you off.
3. Use [URL]rosszlanyok.hu[/URL] and [URL]callgirl-list.com[/URL] to find girls. Read the profiles carefully. On rosszlanyok girls can refuse to accept any reviews and refuse reviews they don't like. If she does this forget her.
Girls who get a lot of good reviews on both sites are usually good providers. (It's not rocket science).
4. When you call a girl discuss exactly what you want and how much it will cost. Go into detail. Ask if the price includes everything you want or do some things cost extra. Don't be shy. This is their job and they've heard it all before. If you are going to her place, ask her to send a SMS (text message) with her address.
Be persistent & be prepared to make A LOT of calls as some girls won't answer straight away (for a variety of reasons they may already be with a customer or with friends and family. I once had a girl pick up and then ask me to call back in an hour because she was in a restaurant with her dad!)
I also find it easier to get the girls to pick up a few hours in advance, so for an night appointment call in the afternoon. If you call her at 10 pm she is more likely to already have customer. Be prepared to accept that a lot of girls claim to speak English or German on their profiles and when they answer, they don't. This also works the other way, many girls post profiles without any language skills and when they pick up the phone they actually speak good English / German. Go figure!
5. Acceptable prices are 15000 to 20000 forint (50 to 65 Eur) incall and 20000 to 25000 (65 to 80 Eur) outcall. Outcall girls may ask you to pay for their taxi. Don't pay more.
6. Stay away from street walkers.
7. Stay away from bar hookers.
8. Don't go to strip clubs. You will be ripped off.
9. Stay away from escort agencies. You will be ripped off.
10. Finally and most importantly, report back with your experiences (this includes prices) on ISG, rosszlanyok and callgirl-list.
