SO... My question to all you gorgeous punters:
What would it take for you to continue seeing us on a regular basis? "

I would need my staff to keep up the hard work lol

My 2 cents. The middle class are going to be the hardest hit which is probably the majority of punters.
I would offer a handful of your clients a monthly package, say 3k for four visits upfront. This would at least give you a guaranteed amount per month to cover rent, electricity and water.

I never thought we'd get to a point where such a topic is discussed on an escort site. Punting is not a necessity and for those who say it is, you might need to sign up for sex addicts anonymous. And if you need to save up for a punt, you should probably hang up your gloves right now.

There might be a few pointers that service providers will get on this thread, but if we want to talk about pricing of service providers and affordability for punters, that's always hard to gauge from a thread because the majority of punters and service providers do not participate on the forum.

The only time any service provider will start doing something about their pricing model is if the number of clients walking through their door dwindles. This could be driven by a number of different things:

- you're priced out and there are service providers who provide a service that matches yours or even better at a lower rate;
- your offering is limited;
- your service is crap (attitude included);
- you work from a dingy venue/house/apartment/lodge (area included);
-your hygiene is questionable;
- your distance might be an issue and with loadshedding and traffic lights being out, this adds to our travel time during the day;
- you've become redundant;
- your 2017 photo set is not cutting it anymore;

I'm sure there are more and I don't even want to get into physical attributes and how one presents herself for dressing for the 'occasion'.

There are punters who like exploring the "new" and there are those who like the consistency of something more familiar and the sad reality is that even if one service provider were to drop her rate today, tomorrow there will be a new service provider providing the same service as her up the road, and the new one will still get booked. Whether the new will be able to maintain that rate over an extended period of time...well, I guess only time will tell.

My parting comment is that everyone will always have their place in this escort/punter economy - where you fit in? Well, you will have to decide that yourself. And sometimes the reality is that your place is outside and that's also perfectly fine.

Good luck.

Specials do help a tight arse like me.

There is an amount in my head that I cannot bring myself to pay for soemthing... A punt, a phone, car, etc.

If I see now that a lady that was more than I was willing to spend is now closer to what I would spend, I'll book her for as long as it's in that amount.

This amount could be as little as R100 less, it's funny how out Human minds work, and it's the same as the R100 vs R99 trick that's become commonplace in retail.

Ang - changes coming soon

Ang - In my case this is true. I cannot offer something I'm not comfortable with. It's not an on and off switch, so if that's the issue, I'm okay with it 100%

Ang - I'm on Kathrine Street

Ang - I need you to elaborate on this

Ang - Negative

I'm sure there are more and I don't even want to get into physical attributes and how one presents herself for dressing for the 'occasion'.

Ang - I dress up every time

- Noted. I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Started with a 2 year plan, I hope the goal gets reached.

Good luck.



I value your input. Thank you. See replies.

I also need to note that it's not just my issue... I'm just the one with big enough balls to ask the difficult questions, so I can make the relevant changes. I'm a newbie... I've never been here before. I much rather ask punters for input.
