LA90046 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 When I see rate fluctuations for similar duration / services, I just assume the provider offers different rates for different times of day. I see plenty of MF and RM profiles where a provider offers a discounted rate before 4pm or 5pm since after 6pm is likely peak demand for them. Or perhaps during a dry spell, a provider may lower his posted rates to drum up some business. There could also be instances where reviewers might incorrectly be including the additional amount they tipped the provider when quoting the rate paid in their review. If it seems amiss it seems it would be better to just move on instead of questioning it which just seems inherently crass, not unlike the client version of a clock watcher provider.

Yoyohey Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 He didn’t ask me about stats or anything when I made an appointment. He seemed nice. Didn’t sense any attitude. Maybe he got more professional over time. + 7829V and Marc in Calif 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake1980 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I do remember that initially when we were setting up appointment and our schedule won’t work he gave me a quote lower than what he has been charging. After a couple of months I tried to set up and this time we can meet he told me he still be charging me with his first quote and that was so nice of him. i don’t remember him asking my stats or picture but I might have told him that im on the medical field and he expressed his appreciation for first responders. And during the session I had lot of cues from him that I’m one request away to transition to deli experience but I was not prepared at that time. I did not see my time short of 10 or 20 minutes but an hour of massage filled with steamy intimate connection. Again it really is YMMV Yoyohey, JeffsterLA and Marc in Calif 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeezifonly Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 In some massage ads we see “Discount for students, military, dancers, and athletes” I see it as much the same message, and I move on. Pricing for personal services is the most imprecise art. No two services are actually identical to one another, because of chemistry. ⚛️ ❤️ starman05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ APPLE1 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It's neither invasive nor inherently crass to ask about price discrepancies. Any business, and especially any business thst doesn't have listed rates in black and white, should be prepared to and able to explain price discrepancies. jeezifonly and JeffsterLA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubMyThighs Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 All I can say as someone who reviewed him positively here is that I am also in my 50s. It does sound to me as if your questioning may have been perceived as aggressive. “Therapeutic erotic” makes perfect sense to me and describes his style well. And unfortunately $250 has become standard for erotic outcall massages in LA. LA90046, JeffsterLA, Marc in Calif and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you cannot judge what rates he charges for different types of massage only by looking at what his reviewers paid. What you fail to realize is that reviewers don't say how much of their payment was for a tip. I can easily see why he didn't respond to your question. You weren't asking about "different rates" or charges. You were really asking why reviewers were listing different total payment amounts: massage + tip. 🫤 Now you know.

You weren't asking about "different rates" or charges. You were really asking why reviewers were listing different total payment amounts: massage + tip. 🫤 Now you know. This is what I know: your arithmetic is off. The rates in Turko’s reviews were less than those quoted to me, and that’s as to all categories. The fact that some customers may have not included in their reviews tip they may have paid is not relevant, because the rates they were charged per their reviews were still less. Moreover, if what you’re saying made any sense, Turko could have simply told me that he is often paid more in the form of tips than what customers post in their reviews. I don’t know where you get this “I don’t have the right to ask…” or “I cannot judge…” (and bets are you’re one of the loudest judges of Christians, republicans and others whom you disagree with). I can ask a provider whatever I want. I’m allowing them into my home and letting them touch my body. I can also judge them, as in this case when I feel like they aren’t being open about them. Where do you get off telling people what they can and cannot do? Marc in Calif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same quote, but note he has cheaper rates in his reviews. So I’m not sure what this proves. Marc in Calif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
