Inflated rates?!

Guys, don’t take the bait. You know Christian gets a dominance boost out of pressing prices/tips as low as he can. 

Not true. If I encounter unreasonable offers, I offer a reasonable amount. My aim is not as low as possible, but what I find reasonable. And I can usually find someone, and 95% are eager for a repeat, meaning they find it reasonable as well.

(I say 95% to account for one boy in Pattaya who came to my room for 1000 the first time we met, but when I asked for a repeat, he said for him to come to my room I would have to add taxi fare or I can come to his room for 1000. Which I did, because I'm not too posh to ride a songtheo and walk a few hundred meters.)

Furthermore, I wish to point out that my various detractors have never met me and judge me by what I write, whereas members who have met me and know me in person defend me against unfounded accusations. 

Count me in. While my offing and  tipping habits are different than yours I see method and logic in  way you operate. 

As local so to speak you have an advantage of being insider AND having a time , luxuries not available to visitors.

In my vast experience, if you take someone from a higher-end establishment or pick up someone from street-trade, if you 500 or 2000 for the encounter, there is no correlation to the service delivered.

correct although  they may be different meanings  of what each of us put under ' service ' umbrella.

And there's looks issue. To put it proletarian way , good fucking guy , not necessarily must be good looking . While 90 out of 100 guys have decent cock and/ or ass, perhaps only quarter of those  are head turners in sense of looks , be it face or built or both. Which for some may be obsolete but for others be deal breaker.

 I provide an opposing view that a good time can be had for much less (1000 online vs. 500 own drink, 500 boy drink, 500 off fee, 2000 short time tip = 4500). 

 

again, while calculation itself  is impeccable we are hitting wall at what 'good time " means for each of us. Combing through Grindr grid  is not exactly the same kind of entrainment like  sitting in bar, drink in hand and watching three, not two dimensional guys on the stage.

Some people may consider Foodland Patpong dump, UNESCO clearly thinks opposite awarding them World Heritage status.

Yes, certainly very helpful when interacting with human beings in the most intimate of circumstances. Who needs empathy or basic human decency.

...yup, it's all about the maths...

75%, 85%, 95%... but EQ = 0%

Sure, it's all about you, isn't it, as you have the upper hand in the negotiations. I, I, I, ME, ME, ME. By all means, deprive the young man of an additional 100-200 Baht transportation fee, someone whom you liked and had had a good time with otherwise you wouldn't have asked to see him again.

You speak of what's reasonable to you but is what's reasonable to you fair to him? That request for transportation costs could have been a subtle hint or euphemism for a slight increase in tip, which isn't unusual at all. What is unusual is being so thick-skinned and putting your own self at risk by going to the boy's place just to save a hundred Baht.

Incidentally, sparing the boy a hundred Baht or two isn't being "posh" (do you even know what that word means?); it's called being decent and most customers with human feelings would have given it without being asked. Thai customers would have even grabbed a few beers and bought some food from across the street to be enjoyed together.

They say you live in Thailand and speak the language but it seems to me that Thailand and the Thai people, with their gamut of emotions, kindness, silliness, canniness, humour and subtleties haven't rubbed on you at all. It hasn't changed you, which says a lot about you and your personality.

certainly you have plenty to say about people you never met, shake hand with, visit bar or have meal  together with them ( and at times,  their boy de day). 

I should say more but since I met Christian PFC at least 3 dozen times and not only in Thailand I don't want to explore that advantage.

That's too rosy based on what I hear from boys. Is not that all Americans are big tippers, all Indians stingy and all Australians have hairy ass , although Olddaddy has by his own admission,  but I wouldn't extrapolate that  too far.

You certainly have plenty to say about my experiences with my Thai friends, contemporaries and the nightlife workers I've met, interacted with and helped over the years and you've never met or shook hands with me either. This may surprise you but the vast majority of Thais do not live and breathe Patpong and Foodland.

Allegation? That is a super interesting take.

What do you wish to achieve here? You have a history of altercations with various forum members and have driven at least one thoughtful and interesting  poster away from this forum, bkkmfj. You won’t drive me away.

Again you make an allegation that is not backed up by facts, The forum member you mention reads this site almost every day as can easily be seen by the list at the bottom of the pages. So no one has been "driven away" as you wrongly claim. He has also commented through emojis on a number of posts. I do not know why he has decided to cease posting. You better ask him that. And also ask him why he wrongly dragged my name into the mud in a totally separate forum dealing with South America - not doubt a post you failed to read despite my asking members first to read it. 

If you wish to cease posting, that is a matter for you not other members.

You would do well to read @vinapu's post made four hours ago. It is reasoned as  i believ mine was. But you stated that @ChristianPFC - a fellow member - "gets a dominance boost out of pressing prices/tips as low as he can." Untrue!
