Which option gives the best value and service.

[risn2theoccasion2]

I have been researching reviews a lot lately, plus reading about experiences in the MLR. So, I am interested in opinions about where you think the best value for $$ spent is in the hobby. I have to say I have had more than my share of disappointment and frustration for quite some time now. So, where do you go for the best value?

I've only done independent. Not rich enough to be a sugar daddy, AMP's kinda scare the shit outta me... I've been curious about agencies. Some folks here have said they can be easier to deal with, and the girls can be more attractive. Haven't had the push to try yet.

Same here. I used to use AMPs a lot in the past, but I'd hate to be in an AMP when it got busted. I have used agencies in the past, but only a couple of times in TX. Now I'm more privacy conscious and the fewer people involved in the communication, the better.

what he said so i can't speak to value from other sources. maybe i should get out more. i'm not interested in SB arrangements because that seems like a 'relationship' and i am not looking for that. independent providers offer a transaction. the client can have a warm and friendly relationship with the provider but i believe this is simply the friendly rapport between client and sales/service provider.

in line with that, i'm not warm to additional parties to the transaction, which would work against agencies or amps. i may be depriving myself. i'm not a fan of analogies because folks get lost in the accuracy of the analogy details and lose sight of the point. But i have someone i go to for hair cuts. i had haircuts from several sources but like this person's skillset, understanding of what i wanted, and communications were easy and sometimes unnecessary. when it is time, i call and make an appt with her.

i could go to the barbershop and say "who is working today?" .. or just take a seat and go with the next available. but i don't. i could just drop in a chain/franchise operation ... haircut might be as good. but i prefer my way. an independent provider is not only about value and services; it is also about the selection process (for me, anyway).

Independents: Work for selves, decide own services, have the right to choose to negotiate or not on donations. They run their own business.

Agencies: have a Pimp or Booker ( Pimp-ette) but can be reliable if you need instant bookings. Too many chefs in the kitchen =potential ' other eyes' roaming around etc. Higher security risk.

AMPS: I am not in to Asians so for me a waste but if we had the old Houston ones than I would go to those girls 100% of the time never see an Indy.

Of the 3 options the Indy has the most flexibility w services/donations no person in the middle to have to communicate with intercepting the pass from John to Pimp

Sugar Girls: Too much work for me but from others' testimonies great return on investment.

[Texson]

Independents are the business owners and like any other business that is run by the owner it provides a higher level of service. It's just a no-brainer that independents are the best option.

With that said, I am interested in finding a sugar baby but don't know anything about the way it works. If anyone has any pointers, please let me know.

From an AA perspective:

The only MP I've ever been turned away from was in ATX (and it's dead now so enjoy the karma, jerks). So if I just want to nut and some hands on my body and a twinkle in the eye will do, you can't go wrong. The problem is finding the MP that you really like--and hoping it doesn't change. Every visit is a $80 gamble (tip even if you don't go for the extras). At least in the US... Canadian MPs are amaaaaazing...

Agencies in the US always seem so sketch. Especially for incalls, I often feel more worried about the bust here than in the MP. In Europe, the agency is the way to ensure quality and not get scammed, ironically. And I've only had one bad agency experience--at the door of the provider in London and the agency whatsapps me apologizing profusely that the person on the other side of the door won't see black men. Offered me another option as consolation.

Now that travel is screwed, I've been trying the independent more. It is better than the agency most times because as others have mentioned you're working with the owner. Much more personable and more colorful experiences. But I have to double check when I see a cutie that her posts don't have "no AA" hidden somewhere, If I text or fill out a form and I don't hear back are they busy, unprofessional, or is it a silent "no AA"? So a bit of the value is lost when you're not actually seeing the person that was your first (or second... or third) choice.

SB is the option I've never tried. I could probably afford it, but it's like an annual car wash subscription--am I going to use this enough to not feel like I'm throwing money away?

25 years of doing this, hands down the SB route is by far the best value.

Agency: quit using those back in 2004 when Amazing/Escape went away

Indy: use to be my bread and butter, but now just too hard and too expensive and frankly poor quality. Providers provide convenience and fantasy.

Sugar Baby: 3-5 hours with pricing at the 1-2 hour rang that 90% of Providers charge here. Now, I do have to spend quite a few hours vetting these girls. Making sure they are real and not time wasters and or scammers. Meet and greets and all of that. The bonus is, the SBs want to fuk me, want to be with me. If they are acting, then great, She gets the Oscar.

Generally speaking, I'm a total AMP guy. I've got a wicked fetish for Asian women. Now, that being said, I rarely go to the AMPs here in Austin (price point vs. available services doesn't hit my "worth it" point) - I save my hobby dollars for pilgrimages to Dallas, where they have, in my opinion, the best mix of price point, talent, and service. AMPs hit my "convenience" needs - I don't have any patience for vetting like with an SB, I don't like surprises when I open the door from an Indy (happened more times than I care to count), agencies just always felt sketch to me, but AMPs are there basically "on demand". If you get an itch, there's someone there pretty much all the time to scratch it. And it's primarily regarded as a service atmosphere, which I appreciate - which is probably a loaded statement, so I'll explain.

I'm plunking down my hard earned dollars (or, on some days, lazily obtained and undeserved dollars) for an attractive woman to make me feel good for an hour. I'm an absolute introvert, so I'm not craving conversation, and don't want to "get to know someone new". I'm looking for the table shower, massage, and boom boom, at a fair price with a high convenience factor, so that I can get back to my typically busy day.

Now, I'm sure you guys with an ATF have a totally different opinion, but for me, I've yet to meet a provider that I've ever seen again except for one (and that's for a variety of factors - didn't like the service, she left the hobby, moved, whatever). With that one, though - she was hot and fun, but would NOT stop talking. It was like an hour long monologue, so while all other points were there (price, services, looks), after the second go round, I just couldn't do it again.

What is your favorite spot in Cedar Park?

[Jacobj]

I drive all around ATX for work. But mainly north now. And I have tried the AMPs. But like already discussed I cannot be that guy to be at the wrong place and at wrong time and get busted. And lose all because of some jerk off discovering a bunch of condoms in a clogged pipe. The agency has too many hands in the jar. I prefer independent favs because of discretion. That is value to me in the long run. But I do have to be wary of discretionary disposable funds so I like to stick to regulars until either i ware out my welcome or I want to move on and look for another regular which takes time. So for me discretion is what I value most in the long run.

But I have only been in the hobby for a little over a year and still have to learn from reading those long term vets posts.

I have been hobbying for well over 6-8 years I’ve done pretty much about 75% of all Amp’s it’s usually one of those times when I need one rubbed out on the fly.

Agencies I’ve only been to two of them and what I can tell u is the girls there are fine as hell


About SB’s I’ve been curious but never pulled the trigger

Indies I fall in love with a few of them, all the girl indies I have met have all been cool, with the exception of one girl who kind wiereded me out.

[chicagonerd123]

What do you guys use to find sugar babies here? Is one of the sugar baby websites better than the others for Austin?

From what I've seen, it seems like almost every girl at a strip club in Austin will give you her number and want to be a sugar baby, but I'm sure they're on the most expensive end and probably too used to hustling.

[Daniel Larusso]

SB's have been the top value for me overall.

They do require a little more legwork to find the right one but most are open to meet & fuck type of arrangements. More time and less money...it's been a no brainer.

In the last 5-6 months I've maybe seen 2 providers and have seen at least 10 hottie SB's

[rmiauu]

where can I find SB's? I've tried typical dating websites but not really looked for a SB, if anyone has suggestions please let me know.
