I could care less what others pay. It is their money, and their decision. Besides, I have a friend who has more money than sense. A hundred dollars to him is tip money. The amount paid is relative to what a person has in their pocket, and is willing to gamble on what he thinks will be a good session.

An example;

In TJ on NYE I had predetermined that I was either going to session with a super hottie (9+ in my mind), or just get drunk. I wanted to end the year with the best, or nothing. I went to all five of the main bars in the Zona and there were some nice looking women, but not my 9+. What the h*ll, I decided that I would just get drunk. Waiters in this bar had previously brought women over to me that I had turned down, one of which was VGL (8+ which I normally would have done), but not what I wanted to end the year with. Before long the hottest looking woman I had seen all night, with a great body, sends the waiter over and asks if it would be O.K. for her to join me. Now this lady is smoking hot (IMO), and it turns out one of the dancers for the club. She came over and sat with me and was very attentive. LFK, rubbing, holding, so far GFE type. It came time and I said, "cuanto"? Her reply was "setenta". I have seldom, if ever, paid more than $60 in TJ, and have never had one walk. For ten dollars I was not about to let this one get by me on NYE. She was so far above the others in looks, and body, she should have charged the dreaded cien, even in TJ.

To me, while cost is a partial factor, the interview process is far more important. Choose right and "make it happen captain", a great session will make the cost paid irrelevant.

A healthy, happy, prosperous, and joyous New Year to all......

Hold your tongue Santas Bro! You risk being ex-communicated along with myself by violating the sanctity of the holy cien! You know that is one of the top three tenets of CRT! hehe

I agree TW...one of the biggest points of contention on here. The way I see it is guys who worry about it are getting business fugged so price (yea, even $20) matters.
So in essence if its all gonna be the same session to them anyway, then why not haggle the extra 20 bucks. Took me a minute to understand what the fret is about and that's my best guess for now...

santas bro-nice post
$60,70,80 or $100 they all have ther place
my feeling is that any price is better when it is agreed upon by both parties rather than demanded by one.

Interesting that this thread has stayed pretty civil. That is a good sign as CRT has been better at discussions in the past year in my opinion. I always find it interesting when guys get so worked up or angry because someone on board doesn't share their opinion. It's p4p, not really a serious topic or anything.

I've often been turned off by those "more experienced" so reluctant to take in data if it somehow puts them behind the 8 ball. P4p is interesting to me because those who chose to play and work on improving their craft/hobby (mostly on their own) seem to have a handle on it while others give resistance. Almost as if they've stopped growing/learning. I too will eventually be more experienced in this hobby but like to think I understand things will change for me. If I don't adapt to that, I will become monger'ish..

The more civil we are in our exchanges and leave the butt hurt feelings aside, the more effective. As a whole, mongers are (way) behind in this game but if we conceede somethings and over come them, we'll all be better for it

I find that less secure people tend to get angry with opinions differing from their own. It's almost like they need someone to reinforce what they think. Over the years I have always enjoyed debating issues with intelligent people who have a different opinion than mine.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!! You just hit that nail on the head with the insecurity thing. I can't understand how someone who is doing p4p can be insecure about women. Well, let me restate that. Insecure about their abilities with women...... I mean you are paying them. Do your thing and enjoy, but don't sweat anyone else who does not do it the way you do it. Like a wise man once told me......"there's an ass for every saddle."

I would argue that insecurity around/with women is disproportionatly found in mongers, as unpopular as that might be for me to say.

Will admit that sunday night, the last night of my recent trip I paid cien to a dr girl. She was a 20 yr old tica w/a perfect body, 1 of the 3 or 4 hottest babes in the joint, imho, & showed me a great time. Spent more than 1 1/2 hrs in my room w/ me, was fun, loved sex, & did many of the little extras most of us like. It was def worth $100 to me to be with her & the jaw-dropping looks from other mongers & LA employees while checkin her in & out was worth part of the price of admission!

Another factor is the insecurity of relationships as they almost always go downhill after a period of
time and become a real bummer.

Then there is the issue of just plain boredom for both in a realtionship. Its the ultimate catch 22! But I think it is easier for older guys like me than the young uns who have the natural optimism of a long life ahead of them.

this is so true pops
