I feel that the ladies do not use the messaging option on ESA to the fullest.
I always check to see the messages to decide on a new lady and I don't have to worry about rates or details because I already have them.
Don't worry about time wasters et al because if you get 2 out of 20 messages that you have replied to that is better than nothing and it does not cost you a cent.

when the dollar and input costs push up the costs, businesses pass those costs on to the end consumer. You have to pay it. You have no choice. All businesses have a level playing field, costs are going up for everyone.

Some industries shrink, because households spend less on PS5 games and more on food and electricity.

WG's are like the PS5 games in this scenario. The only difference is that these WG's are getting more and more expensive. Coz they think they can also pass their costs on to the end consumer. But they cannot. Coz firstly there is no price fix and all WG's are doing different deals. When a market is depressed, you have to lower the input costs (downsize your lifestyle) and go for mass market (do deeper deals).

Personally, I would punt once a week at R800 (R3200 a month), or once a month at R1500. If the R1500 punt is poor, rushed and I feel robbed, i wont go again for a bit. At R800 I will go again next week to try again. My perceived value is higher. I dont feel like i am wasting money at R800, the guilt is lower and I will go for more experiences. Too many luxury goods in this market, not enough functional products. Everyone wants to serve you Nuru and heated towels for R2000 extra. I know we will say, if you can't afford it, then move on. I can afford it. Many can. Not many will. The perceived value of the product in the mind of the seller and many of the buyers do not match.

Alot of people think that way, it is shopper psychology. This whole thing about knowing your worth queen etc etc is all well and good. But something is for sale, and where demand meets supply is where the price settles. The handful of gold members here are hobbyists. The 1000's of people who come on to browse are not of the same mindset. If I am going cycling this weekend, I will borrow a friends bike or pay a few hundred rental. If i cycle for a hobby, buy myself a R200 000 bicycle.

SA mentality is not one of saving nor truly understanding the value of cash.

Being frugal with cash spend make the rich richer....not stingier(as many would say) for, they know to splurge and live keeping the bottom line ALWAYS in sight and adapting TIMEOUSLY to changing economy.

Being a "prostitute " ain't no different .

It is a "business" of the Service Provider sort and THIS thread is a worthy read and gives many an insightful advice even if one may "know it all"....a brush up on things one might have forgotten or not thought of...from the perspective of the "buyer".

Appreciation post:

To the gents that in the past (and recently) who were willing to oblige and trust when I asked for a pre-payment on bookings during tougher times, sometimes discounted, other times not(and to those who offered without me asking)

Thank you!

You are highly appreciated.

To the one gent who made a pre payment back in April when I offered discounted rates and disappeared on me, if you see this contact me, your booking still stands :)

Knightrider78, you are a legend. If we can get more legit brothers like you actually non of these ladies would even think about hiking prices

You know at times you'd even feel the attitude that these girls have during a booking, more so like " this is my body, my pussy so I can get you out of here whenever I want to"

Don't you believe that punting will become obsolete in the next, let's say 5 Years from now!?
I think it will, and more ladies will be doing only online content sales for the international market.
And more will find normal shitty jobs.
More will become homeless and resort to the corner thing.
Etc etc etc


At the end of the day ,you, as a punter have a family, which takes priority over punting

While that's an interesting thought, they don't call this the world's oldest profession for no reason. AI has taken over many jobs and industries but if what you provide is more than just pussy - then it's not easy to replace

Have to agree with you @Hazel, she might be way pass her "sell by date" in 5 years, but that does not mean the industry will also cum to an end.

As everyone says the lady can charge what she wants ,if you like it pay for it ,if not move along .

Being reasonable on rates is also important on this industry, it's just good business sense especially if you're selling a product or service ,recently I was interested in a WG,called for pricing, 2k for half hour ,4k for and hour .

Can I afford that price, I sure as hell can,am I stupid enough to pay that for half/hour,hell fucking no,if her rates had been reasonable ,money would have been made ,I'm not saying be cheap ,but be reasonable.
