@JohnR1972 Great analogy.
@TxTom Inflation does not account for the doubling of cuddling fees.
@Melancholy They charge what the market will bear. If a pro can charge $100 and get the same number of clients she got at $50, why wouldn't she charge the higher amount?
@Melancholy I didn't say inflation accounted for the doubling of cuddling fees. But inflation (especially when it was 9%) has a cumulative affect on the prices of goods and services throughout the supply chain that is higher than the inflation rate, itself.
Cuddle Pros don't live in a vacuum. They're affected by this as much as anyone else. In addition to @WriterGF 's comment above, and the other multiple thread discussions on the wide range of variables that Pros use to set their own prices, seeing a doubling of fees wouldn't be unusual.
If you feel so strongly about this, you should DM said Pros and chew them out for having the audacity to raise their cuddling fees.
@WriterGF I love the Dance Hall analogy!
Would the Complainers consider earning extra $$ from a side gig to pay for cuddling (instead of time wasting here?) After all, you can only change yourself, Not others. (Maybe the thousands of Pros on CC don’t even read your complaints about their rates on the forum).
@Melancholy Prices of different things inflate at different rates. Lot of older men are flush with cash due to the stock market bubble and high interest yields on savings.
Couldn't resist, here's a good meme to sum up the typical male experience in a nutshell:
@WriterGF one that prepares the site for changes that will need to happen. Maybe its just a small change from certain aspects of the site that were established in the early phases. As the site grows so should yhe concepts of the KYC. Business should be forever evolving concepts that make the customer happy. My humble opinion. @Andrew_1 that visual is just funny under any circumstances.
The fact people are stating there are complainers plural, and not just a one time thing shows there is room to think about and implement certain changes. For every 1 person that speaks up on the same base issue there are usually 10 that feel the same way but wont say anything and may become a non customer. Business 101.
Not complaining because corporate decisions in todays world are made with the too big to fail concept, especially when there is a strong monopoly on said product. And yes you can occupy the same space of being happy with having an outlet provided, while also stating why the customer experience needs improvement so happiness with the product continues.
The concept of opposition of viewpoints is too engrained in our culture and this is why there are monopoly's and disintegration of KYC concepts. Which in the end as not good for any of us. I bet money if it came down to it on this one subject 90% of us are saying the same thing.
