Hi guys,
How usually do you make the payment to Freelancers, before or after the work done?
Cheers

When you've finished, flip them over, squeeze the butt-cheeks together, swipe your credit card between them.

It's not a question of "cheapish", as you probably noticed, english is not my first language. However all of you understand correctly the meaning of the sentence and that's what it really counts... Cheers!

Even though I knew this from many times reading it on the board, when I went to Bkk, I happened to meet this one gogo dancer(forgot the bar name). The had a upstairs room and after paying 400baht bf and then get upstairs start undr4essing and then she stops and sits down on bed and asks *how much you pay me*. Now this was very upfront and *being a newbie* I asked *her* how much. She started 1500baht and me 500 baht. Oh yeah, end price was 750baht and she was not that thrilled. Although this shouldn't bother me, but haggling at that moment really dampened the mood and I think we ended up *star-fishing each other*.

But you saved 250 baht. So for all of that you bought a starfish. Maybe for an extra 750 baht you would have had the best sexual experience of your life.

But you did save enough money to have a second starfish later.55555555

not your best decision

How about when after the fact they come up with a ridiculous price and you did not settle upon a price before the deed?
Do you give them 1K and a kick in the butt or start a raging debate on the price of a ST?

Apart from adultery and jealousy, nothing puts a dampener on sex and love like money worries do. It's said that it's one of the biggest causes of marriage break-ups. I know that one of the main reasons why my first marriage (done it twice) suffered a lot was because we were young and really struggling for money, with a baby and bills to pay.

With that as background, think of it from her point of view. There's this guy who wants to stick his knob up her and he's arguing over 500 baht. They haven't all hooked European sponsors/suckers, and that few hundred could make the difference as to whether she gets this week's rent money together or not. It'd not going to act on her like an aphrodisiac, is it?

On the other hand, this is a cliche, but it's a lot to them and not a lot to us. In London, 500 baht will barely buy you a pizza.

So I say give them the money. It might just make them feel that bit more happy and relaxed - and it's you who'll get the benefit of that.

Yeah you all right, but I was so dead set on not paying more than****. And I blame you guys for that, 55555555555. I sat here reading the board religiously for months before going and when I landed there as an EXPERIENCED *newbie*, I already had prices set in my head. I know that 500 baht is really nothing but it wasn't about the money, it was more about me not wanting to have *report* back to the board that I paid 1500 baht for a ST, 555555555555!

See, I blame you guys , 555555555555

That's funny Armand3172, at first I stayed at a certain price myself, but finally realized that sometimes you may pay alittle more especially if the girl is HOT!!!!!!!!!

had to change my routine and my price guide to fit the situation many times over.

And never told anyone else about it hope you had a great time

sometimes it might be. i always as a rule confirm the price before hand, and if you want something special then I would confirm that as well.

Nothing like getting back to your place and finding out that your girl doesn't do this or that and the price is much higer than you expect to pay.

May cut down on your drinking and partying money
