You are the one taking it personal, when you say it's insulting if someone haggles. You are the one that said "we dont work on corners, we arent desperate, and we are of value" is that respecting all genres of adult workers? I don't think so. You keep contradicting yourself and you can't support your answers with facts. All you can come up with is "I don't expect you to understand" try supporting your ideas with facts not feelings.
You have shown your true colors here on massageplanet.net, I think it's a good thing you don't reveal yourself, it would do you more bad than good business wise. Frankly, I would find it such a turn-off to be on the massage table of a stubborn, know-it-all person. That's what got me going on this thread anyways, your cocky, I know everything about this business tone.
I took an educated guess at what I think you're like in real life and I think a few people would agree with me. I already mentioned that I wouldn't mind if you did the same.
Actually I will add to what I think about you. I think that you have self esteem problems. Why else would you get so upset and insulted if someone offered you less money? Why else would you say "we are of value" nobody said you are not of value. We just tried to explain the fact that your value (just like any other business) might change. That's a FACT. The problem is, deep down inside you think yourself that you are of no value. That's why you are so sensitive on the price. Charging a certain amount makes it OK for you to do what you do. You wouldn't respect yourself if you gave HJs for $40.00. That is why you compared working on corners and being of value in the same sentence.
Also, I still think that being an MPA is all you got at the moment in your life. Why else would you feel so passionate and argue about it with a bunch of perverts (like myself) and spend so much time on massageplanet.net?
And don't lie! You are not an SP because you "would like it too much"? Show me one girl that actually likes the job part of SPing, show me any girl in the sex industry that does not only do it for the money?
