Obsession with what other guys pay
[QUOTE=Turgid;2794040]My personal view is that the argument about overpaying has evolved on ISG to a point where it is now useless. Guys who overpay have no effect on the market. Girls know what their worth is in a particular environment and will continue to work for that amount. They will, however, be grateful to the occasional monger who pays them more. Whether they consider him a chump or not I think depends on the mindset of the chica, some may but others won't. If a monger earns US $500,000 annually and wants to splurge in Medellin I can't call him a chump. I pay what I can afford and always pay the going rate, if I get exceptional service I give a propina that I consider reasonable in the circumstances. In a German FKK I pay five times the amount for a girl there than I would pay for an even hotter girl in Medellin. I think the argument about overpaying is futile.[/QUOTE]On this website, there is definitely an obsession with what other guys pay and the need to criticize those who pay more than you. My take is that it is their hard earned money and they can spend it anyway they want. I don't know what others pay. I pay what I want to pay and that is all that matters. The point being made about the 500 k guy is that every monger does not have the same finances. Some have some than others. For some, spending $100 US on a girl is dirt cheap compared to back home and so for a short vacation, the guy doesn't care that he pays $100 US if it is for a girl that he really likes. Guys complain about other guys and what they pay in all the mongering countries, E. G, Thailand, Philippines, Costa Rica, Mexico, etc.
There is this belief that these guys are affecting the going rate. Yet at the same time, the guys complaining always brag that they can still get similar girls for less. The idea of a mass conspiracy among mongers to hold the line and pay only a certain amount is crazy.
It's just amusing to me.
$20 for a glass of wine not $100
Say you are in business for yourself providing a service like these girls are. You have one customer who pays your asking rate, a rate that makes you feel you are being adequately compensated for your services and you enjoy working for him. Then you have this other customer who complains about your price and works you hard to lower it so that you leave not happy with what you got paid but you need the extra business. Which customer are you going to give better service and priority to?
