Financial advice: money saving tip

[imamidnightlover]

So not nice talking with a lady like that, Sargeant! She might have made a mistake thinking she met you before .... and frankly, this is a common name! Everyone walks in with a StiffCock! So, mistakes happen, my friend.

Relax.

As a client, there's only a few things that I ask from MPA's:

1.) Don't leave me waiting in the room for an hour. My time is valuable too.

2.) Don't take me for granted. There are a ton of MPA's who'd be happy to see me.

3.) Don't view me as a walking wallet!

I understand that MPA's are there to make money and I respect that. However, if I'm paying $100 for 30 minutes that's already multiple times my OWN salary... PRE-TAX I might add. Therefore I'm not one to be throwing around extra $20's for "tips" on a regular basis. I think some MPA's tend to lose sight of economic reality after being in the biz for a while.

On the flip side:
...if I don't have enough money for a BS session.... I STAY AT HOME!

I'm beginning to think the same way. Although you have to admire her stubborness. Whatever her arguments lack in rationale, they make up for in passion.

 

[Charly Hayes]

I said it in the beginning. I have never and never will ask for a discount at a MP and agree that it's downright cheap and it will hinder service for sure.

What I didn't like is MPA2s attitude thinking that she can always charge the going rates. That's all...

 

[snowbunny]

I'll give it one more shot but this is really getting boring now.

That's just what you don't get. In business you HAVE to be flexible. Lucky for you, what you are selling is a one of a kind product. There isn't another MPA2 exactly the same as you. Based on that, you have a better chance at calling your own shots in your business as long as you have enough men interested in seeing you. But even in your business, (as you also know) you have to be realistic, you can not overcharge, you have to go with the flow / the industry standard. What you don't get is the fact that if that standard changes (if the rate of BS goes down to $60.00 at ALL the half decent spas in Toronto) You would HAVE to follow that standard or go out of business. Coming on here and saying I am worth what I'm worth is just talk.

With your mentality, based on your comments, I would like to see how far you go in the real world selling a mainstream product. My guess is not very far. Some women in the trade may not like my next comment but...

As difficult as your business is (the sex trade) there is a reason why you do it and the reality (in my opinion) is, there isn't much else you CAN do. Just like I do what I do, because that is all I'm capable of. Read my signature line lately?

Goodbye...

.... You know very well that you are always my Princess! But since you've decided to go with another Prince to that massageplanet.net party ... I am sooooo MUCH more jealous!

 

[skateboardfool]

Here! Here!!

Couldn't agree more.

 

[Texasgirl]

Sir???? ... I don't know.

I moved to this country from a rich family. But, I started working as a Pizza Delivery boy! I never asked my parents for any kind of financial help. Not even 1 penny, as God is my witness.

And, it was so difficult time ....

Today, I AM where I AM! I WANTED to be where I AM and got there. When I'm looking around, I WANT more and I WANT to be MORE .... no matter how hard it is.

I don't lie, I don't steal, and I don't use people to reach my goals. I work smart NOT hard. Otherwise, how else I could spend so much time with my angels?!

If / when I am not happy with my life, I don't sit on my ass thinking ... I deserve it.

And, I don't go to SPA trying to get discount to buy a f*** Bentley! Sorry, couldn't resist.

It's your life.... your choice. But everyone deserves to be / do better IF they want to.

 

[just me and my opinion]

MPA,

I don't think anyone is attacking you more so than challenging your opinion. Also, it's not the argument that "undercharging" is good for business, but it's the point that you have to be flexible in order to survive in business. That flexibility could be a reduced rate or enhanced service experience (within MP limits), but there has to be that compromise. Granted, there are many cases of highly specialized services where it is detrimental to business to lower rates as it would devalue the service, but whether that applies to the MP business is a decision between the client and MPA to make. Given the fact that it is a luxury and discretionary expense, I would tend to believe that it wouldn't fall in the aforementioned category, but I could be wrong.

Also, you yourself have stated that you take other factors into consideration and are flexible. This would be in contrast to your stance that rate modifications undermine your business.

Yes there are factors that weigh into what I decide that value is (like demand, competition, season, facilities, etc)

My fundamental point here is that although the MP business is different from other mainstream business ventures, there are still some fundamental principles that apply to all business. In this case, it's the principle of Flexibility. Even in your business, where I believe that factors are tilted favourably to the provider, the provider still needs to be able to adapt on an occassional basis.

MPAsquared, you're still only worth what someone is willing to pay you, no disrespect, just the truth.

 

[RomanceNINJA]

Stop being a drama queen.

 

[Oliver Clothes-off]

MPA2, are you sure you want to use this argument? So, let me get this straight. As a MPA, giving massages are a sexual service and $100 for BS is not as invasive as when you receive an offer of $65 for BS?

 

[mebepat]

Im hoping someone who knows me, WITHOUT revealing who I am, can vouch for how wrong this guy is!!!

Disturbia, you are a gem. A friendly debate is lovely, an ass isnt!

SCC...FYI...Im a PART TIME MPA...I've never been only a rub'n tugger. I consistantly tell MPA's new and old to never just massage, you'll go brain dead and you'll get stuck and do it for life! You dont wanna end up 45 with an ad in the paper selling FS for $40 to compete!! Pay for school, feed your kids, buy a house, start a business. DO SOMETHING! Dont keep a blank resume!!!! Its important to still know the value of a dollar! If a girl never has a 'real job' they wont know how lucky they are to make the $ they do.

As for me, I have a job outside this business. I have 2 degrees and 2 trade diplomas. Investments, a roof over my head, etc. Im a smart cookie and I truely resent your assumption that we are all morons that 'cant make it in the real world'

Its easy to mindlessly massage, dance on a pole, sell drugs, its easy to just do things for $. It takes a smart girl to succeed not only with her goals, but to make the most of the business we CHOOSE to be in! I have taken alot from this business, education that no one else gets. I would love to see the look on your face when you see whats coming soon for me....Some things come full circle my friend...MPAsquared is no dummy.

 

[diekery]

And, what I didn't like is exactly what you still keep repeating. You are not in a position to force people to accept what you think is right or wrong. Not even here!

She can charge $$ whatever she likes. We, as clients, either accept the suggested rate or get the hell out of the room. It's her decision, her job, and her life.

It's not about ass kissing. It's about respecting people's decision. IF, for example, one of my regulars ask me WHY she no longer has enough clients due to her high rate, then I may suggest how to improve the situation by charging less. Then again, she would either accept my recommendation or not. Either way, I would shut up and end of discussion.

That's all.

 

[zonk]

I don't think life is so simple. For getting into a career, there's aptitude, desire, and opportunity. You're saying that everyone is working at the limit of their aptitude, and that is simply not so.

 

[Iceman]

bye bye

 

[Hanz K]

Right on Squared! One of the principles I use in my business every day is to charge what you are worth but be worth what you charge. Hi end or low end, this works.

I bet you are worth every penny!

 

[prairiewife]

Actually I missed this one. But here's my reply. I dont think any less of anyone on any side of this biz. I girl can choose where she wants to work. And no I dont think a 500/hr escort sees me or any MPA as cheap. I dont see them as expensive. I'd like to hope they are worth their price. hotter and more skilled than me and of course high mileage.

Im no little girl fresh on the scene. IM TALKING FROM MY EXPERIENCE! FROM BEING AN MPA and based on my experience in other industries too. I was taught yrs ago that discounting your service devalues the service. And that WASNT in massage.

 

[SoSeiru]

No its not true in all cases but it is true in most cases (to the limit of their perceived aptitude).....and the MP biz for the vast vast vast majority of the time fits into this.

Girls dont get into a job like that because they want to or because they always dreamed of doing it.

Lets face it, if they could do something else and make at least a comparable salary doing it.... they would. This is not to say they cant ever do just as much if not much more in another endeavor later on in the future...but right now, at the present moment that they are working at the spa... its the best they can do as far as income generation goes.

Dont get confused... the best you can do is not ALL you can do

 

[Eugene]

Look, Mr. hard Cock, that is the most disrespectful and uneducated thing I have EVER heard someone say. "(In my opinion) there isn't much else you CAN do"

I have been reading this thread for some time now and although I didn't agree with your opinion, I did respect your thoughts. That has all been blown out the window now that you have shown your true colours as a complete IDIOT...
