Melbourne

[QUOTE=Omega93;2813413]Hey Guys,

Not going to be a popular post here.

I understand that many of you are frustrated with the rising prices of services across Melbourne. However, it's important to understand that this is a natural consequence of inflation.

Costs of living is increasing so prices across the board for food, rent, bills are all going up so naturally girls and providers are going to increase prices accordingly. It's only really fair and we would all do the same in their position.

I understand that this is a frustrating consequence and many of us spend a chunk of our disposable income on having a punt but not much will come from walking I think as girls are only charging what they think they need now to get by.

Just my two cents. I know many of us here will probably disagree.[/QUOTE]You are correct the prices are rising and probably for the reasons you say. However as most of us know we are all affected by rises in supermarkets petrol rents etc and wages are comparatively low compared to the inflation rate.

So I refuse to pay more than I would normally pay and am still getting good service wherever I go.

It always comes back to the old saying 'a fool and his money are soon departed. '.

Offered a girl 100 yesterday for a 50 massage and 50 on top for a nude handjob.

She said clothes off more money.

I responded by putting my money back in my wallet and said I will go somewhere else.

She quickly accepted the 100 and did a great handjob.

Walk if they try to rip you off they will soon realise when they will lose business. Unless of course they get lucky with the fools who don't care how much they are charged.

Plenty of places in Preston Reservoir Sunshine etc where 100 gets you FS BBBJ FIV whatever you like without paying extras.

If some can do it and survive on the old rates I won't be paying extra.

Linda in Sunshine is still only charging $50 so regardless of the inflation they are still making money.

They are simple doing what Coles & everyone else is doing, price gouging using inflation as an excuse.

Thats my 2 cents worth.

[QUOTE=DanTheMan;2813791]What you have to remember here is that these women don't pay tax, as the business they run is illegal. A good centre can easily make $1000/ day.

I've noticed nearly all centres want a 50 just for a handjob and they won't negotiate. It's getting beyond a joke.

It's got nothing to do with inflation but more with greed.[/QUOTE]Agree its greed not inflation & I proved that yesterday when I offered a girl $50 for the massage rate & $50 on top for a nude handjob. She asked for more money for nude I said I will leave now, she quickly changed her mind. Pure greed.

I'll just add the flip side view that punters are also feeling the inflation squeeze. And all the rising costs that that brings to everyday life costs and essentials.

One of the first things to go or be scaled back is discretionary spending. And I'm willing to bet with the tightening of punter belts, coupled with the increased prices and poor services of the shitty Chinese rnt places, business will surely be down down!!

And yet at the same time rhere is an explosion in number of joints in the south east at least. I regularly drive past 15 along north Road and warrigal Road.

Unless worker numbers have exploded or customer numbers have exploded some attrition has to happen soon.

I must be losing my touch or just on a bad run? The last 2 out of 3 visits I have been given this excuse?

I don't go that much to MP's anymore but if they say this, its an instant turn off for me and I get out of there. Why come to work? Maybe others don't care and get their sh1 tty little w at nk session completed, but I need to at least see / feel the V?

On another point is there anywhere safe to buy the blue pill or similar that works. I know you can go to a Doc but it is so expensive and I only need occasionally for a 2nd pop. I must be getting old!!

Cheers.

NS.

[/QUOTE]I used to be one of those simp's who would be too scared to walk away. But it's easy now. It either work's or at least you save your $$$ and move to somewhere else.

NS.[/QUOTE]I like your thinking Steve, walk. Too many just accept it and pay it but I refuse.

Walking is the only way and its not that hard in most areas to find another shop with willing girls usually in close proximity.

I have always been a walker and I always check upfront before I hand any money over.

Most girls will charge as much as the market tolerates, and why wouldn't they? They're in it to make a living after all. But we are 'the market'. We effectively set the prices when we either agree or disagree to hand over 20/50/100. If there are enough blokes willing to pay inflated prices they won't care if 1 or 2 walk, but if they can't get any business at a certain price, they'll soon reduce it or get a real job. It’s simple supply and demand. Keep in mind net migration is 400,000 this year and 315,000 next year. If only 1% of those new migrants end up in MPs (and they will when they see the cost of living here) there's an extra 7,150 workers. I won't be shocked if prices start to reduce soon.

The last thing to remember is YMMV. If you're a bit older, uglier and heavier than you were 20 years ago, you might not get the discounts you once did. I used to get FS for $45 in Moorabbin. That would never happen now.

Now surely there will be still be places where you can get everything for $100 but the quality is usually on the lower end and what we've all noticed is that the prices across the board have increased. I do agree that with unemployment and interest rates going up, there will be a time where prices temporarily lower as demand starts to reduce.

Quick question, I'm in Richmond tomorrow for business, Bridge Road to be exact down the east end of it. Any full service parlours in that neck of the woods?

Thanks.

The punter can set the market rates too if enough are willing to have some balls & walk occasionally instead of thinking with their old fella & getting sucked dry of cash because they are thinking with the wrong head. I have been punting for a long time and my experience is most girls don't give a rats toss about how old or ugly you are as long as you pay.

Fellow mongers. Just seen a new AMP opened up the Windsor end of Chapel Street, title of shop Red Lips massage sounds promising, A few adverts on Locanto as well, and noticed after further inspection, the person whose posting them is also posting on Station Street Frangers AMP, and might be a churn of women between shops, From memory, from previous reviews Station Street used to offer a full menu? I will venture down to the Windsor one the next few days and post a FR later. Comms are a bit on and off there, sometimes they never respond sometimes come back immediately. Massage rates are 70 an hour, which is fine was told by text if you want any specials massages just ask the girl what you want etc.

I'm reminded of an early Simpson's episode where Bart and Lisa are at the mall and are asked by the owner to hurry up because they're closing down soon and becoming a Starbucks. Pan out and all the shops are Starbucks.

This is how I feel everytime I see a for lease sign in south east nowadays. Hurry up, we're becoming a massage parlor next week.

I'm willing to assume this place will go all the way for you so long as you're willing to pony up. I have seen them online and was down this way about a month ago, I popped in to scope it out but didn't have the time on my hands. Just went in to collect some intel. Got to chatting with the young bird, she was the only one there. She openly laid out the menu and all the pricing to go with it, can't remember at this point but you should be able to select your transaction before you even lay on the table. I also feel this is a place with the young ones, not the 40+ year olds looking all worn and loose like a retiree.
