I'm curious why you guys are 'hobbying' if you have such limited funds? If 50 bucks for an out call fee which is basically gas/cab fare is a problem, why not save up for the experience you want?

I mean I dropped 450 on dinner and my only concern was "did she enjoy her meal?"

I tend to view it simply, these ladies aren't obligated to see me, you, the guy down the street. How about thinking that she may not want to lose 25% of her earnings, just getting to you and back home.

I always think in terms of Jelly Beans. $50? Do you know how many Jelly Beans I can buy with that?

LOL read my post again.... if they don't have an IN CALL then an out call is much cheaper. No cost of the IN CALL? why would they UP CHARGE in that case?

1,680 jelly bellys, I don't like jelly beans very much, but that brand is OK.

At 1.99 a bag, 35 beans per serving, two servings per bag makes 70 beans a bag. 24 bags is 47.76, add 5% sales tax $2.38 making our total $50.14 for 1680 beans. I'm sure they'll let you slide on your .14¢ at the register.

I'm aware they may not have an in call, but gas ain't free. Missed opportunity for a closer or longer date, so she won't be called a ncns and I think 50 to a 100 for an out call fee doesn't sound as ridiculous as a jelly bean comparison.

How ludicrous is it to see a guy from out of the the area calling out Still Looking on being a Cheap Skate?........


RodTidwell o reviews....

Still Looking 280 PUBLISHED reviews and probably another 50+ shared privately..... How many has he held back from us?




RodTidwell spends.... well? we have no idea if he spends anything on a session..... Odds are he's just some "Mandle" in use by a lady......

Still Looking Brings Gift Bags worth $500+ to chicks he pays $300 an hour to.....




RodTidwell spends $400 plus for dinner......

Still Looking spends that on lunch and then takes girls for $1000 Victoria Secrets Shopping sprees.....





RodTidwell has a CVS app on his mobile phone and can calculate the cost of Jelly Beans.....

Still Looking has a staff of people with all sorts of responsibilities.... One, I am sure, handles his Jelly Beans for him.....



Ludicrous.....

Hey Rod..... You are barking up the wrong tree here.... SL is at the opposite end of the spectrum from being cheap...... Look around..... He has UNIQUE distinction of being a guy that TRIED to GIVE a girl with car problems a used Mercedes but she blew off the appointment with him already on the road an hour heading to see her.

We have guys that are hung up on $37.50 and consider bologna sandwiches a delicacy all providers should want.....

Sooooo if "we" see a provider and she is a NSNC then she should owe "us" based on time and cost of fuel as well..... right? That seldom happens. Most NSNC are followed up by another one. LOL I have had three in a row. Didn't even give an excuse on the last one just quit providing.

Let's note that some providers are very low volume and only do a session a day max two. Its easier for them to do out call rather than be burdened the cost of the hotel at $80-$150 and that's assuming no much is going on in Austin.

Also one must realize some ladies can't secure a room due the current cash flow issues or credit issues. But you are correct gas does cost money as well as cabs. Who takes cabs in Austin. Perhaps DC or Las Vegas but not so much Austin.

In almost 6 years I've NEVER paid extra for an out call.

Well I haven't always had money. Imagine my shock when I found out that a Bidet wasn't a convenient drinking fountain in all my bathrooms.

I even tip the kids at the Sonic drive through window who do not even come out to the car.

As far as my MT clients go, the only few who have ever tried to haggle me were young, and I just weeded them out/refused to communicate with them. Marked them in my phone so I would know if they contacted me in the future. Same goes for my good tippers and gift-bringers--they are marked in my phone and I'm always super happy to see them.

I always find this type of comment interesting since it's unrealistic in a business setting. The simple truth is that the bigger a client becomes the more important they are to your bottom line. As a general rule my bigger clients get preferential pricing, further some clients are restricted since I don't feel they have demonstrated the staying power to survive over the long haul.

Any good entrepreneur understands the role of variable pricing and a meritocracy. The 30% of my client base that I closely guard & nurture is what allows me the flexibility and freedom I need to conduct my business as efficiently, profitably and enjoyably as I do.

The clients I have that get preferential treatment and pricing have earned it.

You guys don't have to be so up in arms. If the money is so inconsequential to you why argue over a 50 dollar fee? Yea I get that everything's cheaper in Texas, except for homeowners taxes, DFW I looked. My reviews are on a different site, you can Google. Lol

Mandle? Is that this sites mangina or white knight?

See? RR gets it...I get multi hour, OTC activities, and sometimes overnights for $37.50 & a deluxe Sammy.

How am I not the winner here?

Pay extortion level rates because you just want to spend the money?

Again I wonder...as any smart person would...what is the personal motivation for wanting people to pay more for the product you are pimping?

He wrote Mandle, I was asking for clarification. I thought possibly Mamdle might be a synonym for white knight or mangina two childish terms used on the other site.

Hmmm... I guess we 'hobby' (hate that term) differently I personally, would rather pay the rate asked instead of nickel and diming her. After all if I like her I would like her to be excited to see me, not just wanting to get it over with because she needs the money. Maybe, the ladies I've met were hard asses, I doubt it, but let's assume they were. If I started nickel and dining them they'd boot my happy ass out the door, ladies charge what they feel like their times worth, undercutting that seems disrespectful.

My only rebuttal to that would be, if you don't get laid you're not going to die, the world won't come to an end and you clearly had extra disposable income otherwise you wouldn't be spending it on the 'hobby'.

So no, you saved yourself your donation, which you can now apply to gas.
