I haven’t run across advertisers playing God quite so much in the mainstream world — it seems more rampant in the adult world. Most of my business experience is here though.

No, I have NO DESIRE for the headaches of managing an advertising mall! No no no!! This isn’t me whining from the sidelines — most advertisers get it right and some are terrific. The ones who aren’t stick out to me, though.

Thais,

Rates are something an escort needs to figure out based on a number of factors. What SOMEONE ELSE thinks of her job is NOT one of the factors.

And it’s a learning lab for some — if her rates are too high, she might need to adjust. If they’re too low and she isn’t paying her bills — she might need to adjust. But ultimately — she can charge whatever she wants. The market will ignore her or not.

Everything in the US looks incriminating. Sigh. It has to be approached that way, unfortunately. Which is a handicap to those girls who would prefer to charge for sex acts.

Aspasia,

Didn’t think about that! I am very sure that they’re happy to tell girls who write in what they think they sould charge. I’ve seen men on boards do this. It’s very very wrong.

While I might only want to pay 10EUR for lunch out here, plenty of people pay 20-40EUR for lunch — so why would a restaurant consult with me or take my word as gospel? I could ruin their business for them if 10EUR lunches don’t pay their overhead.
