Walking into stores, I see so many ladies walking straight to the bargains, buying things they don't really need. Because it's been cheap...

Men spend on their actual needs. But, bargains surely takes attention... I truly hope none of the complaining ladies never offered bargains. If not, maybe too many guys shown their female side and visited a bargain memory they didn't really want. Because it's been cheap... (Tough times for all).

Definitely sinking big time...thankfully I have a few other businesses that keeps me afloat.

I seriously suggest that the ladies think about getting additional sources of income, to help survive in these tough times. I turned 3 of my hobbies into businesses over the years, with my 1 business being my main bread and butter for the past 12 years. Also cut down your expenditure to the bare minimum.

The escorting/massaging thing has always been my "jam", but nowadays I'm forced to be on a sugarless diet, so I'm currently seriously re-evaluating what is the best way forward for me.

Sibyl, if only you offered a FH service I would pay double your asking hourly rate. Absolutely gorgeous

It took me 9 months to get enough regulars to help me through these tough times... and I want to thank them for always been the silver lining in dark cloudy days... now that I'm moving back to Randburg I have to get my old regulars back... maybe I'll get a few new regulars, who knows... I made a decision... my regulars come first... You looked after me for 3 years now... I will look after you... Thats a promise...

How do u get new regulars if your old ones come first?

what I find strange is that there are always people who get through the month with less than I can and there are always people who can't get through the month and they make more than I do

Very, very true that boss.
Catching up with old friends in Cape Town, I was once again amazed that some old friends of mine who studied way further than me but are earning way less than me but yet they are very happy and content and live their lives.

On the other hand I know some guys in Jozi who earn way more than me, drive cars that cost more than a million bucks but they constantly complaining that they not making enough.

I once read on this forum, a WG complaining that the R40K tax free she makes in this business is not enough to survive. Makes me realy wonder how the fuck the poor in this country survives.

Thank you for the compliment. I am afraid fh service is not on offer and that is not negotiable.

I did try fh service from end August last year to beginning this year, but to be honest my heart was not in it at all, as it was a door that I have closed many years ago. Opening that door again to try and boost business, was a very big mistake on my part and a spectacular flop.

Instead of increasing my business, it had a very negative impact on my business and also attracted the type of clients that I prefer not to see. Although very few clients booked the fh service (less than 5%), my existing regular massage clients were put off that I decided to offer fh as an additional service and I lost many regular clients as a result.

Big Lesson Learned: I must practice what I preach - never open closed doors and only offer services that you are comfortable in offering...

I love this comment.Well said Sibyl.This is the base for success- in any industry!

I would like to add that one of the most challenging things to do in general, is to live within your means.I know that it is easier said than done!
We all need to learn to adapt constantly,to the financial conditions that we find ourselves in.
There are times when, you will be able to have expensive wine and caviar and times when toast and tea, will be all you can afford.
The biggest challenge is: How adaptable are you?

Does any of the ladies advertise on other sites?

I am a FH kind of guy, so never visited any MG before.
I have heard and read on the forum that there are some MG that offer FH, once they have met you and if they feel comfortable with FH.

I might take a chance visiting a few hot MG's if they stated on their profiles that the do offer FH to clients that they choose to engage with.

After all its their bodies and their decision.
Maybe this might increase business for some MG's out there.

Just a thought.

Bro, I've been trying to sway them unsuccessfully :)

Maybe you have better luck and can send me recommendations *thumbs up*

Sybil, I'm gobsmacked that some of your regular clients behaved like morons by abandoning you simply you chose to offer FH. Realy, what is it to them? If they truly appreciated your massage services then they would have stuck by you. I hope you denied them any bookings after you decided to be massage only again.
