A couple of experienced women on “What’s Your Price” told me that they made offers at the $49 and the $99 points because that way they could keep the fees lower and reasonable for the men. At $50 and $100 WYP fees to unlock communications increase from 5 credits and 10 credits to 10 credits and 15 credits respectively.

Some of the women tell me that they made a low offer in order to beat the system, then they want more after the lower one has been accepted and communications unlocked. This is especially true of sex workers, prostitutes. They will agree to $100 or something less, then they will demand $150 because that is ‘what they charge.’ One time I was offered $6 as such a ploy.

It’s best to avoid disagreements and on WYP there are often such disagreements and there are a lot of no shows. The frustration is often enormous. But the women on WhatsYourPrice tend to be lovelier. However, there are a lot con artists, scammers and hustlers. There are a lot of phony profiles with “borrowed” pictures.

The best bet is to keep offers low and expectations low. Sadly, there are a lot of failures to follow through, failures to connect. More often than naught there is no date whatsoever! One time I went through 1,000 credits and did not get a single date. As a result WYP honored their guarantee and issued me a second set of 1,000 credits.

Overall, WYP has improved but with growing pains. I really miss the search functions specifying race, eye color, hair color and one regrading religious beliefs might be helpful too. There were a lot of useful features that WYP has done away with and as a result the site takes too much time. It could be made far more efficient.

Another tip is to follow through immediately as that increases the chances that you will actually meet someone. What WYP could do is come up with better search engines like WYP used to have and data bases to keep track of prospects and their locations and statuses.

Frankly, the market is ripe for someone to develop a new model or to merely improve on WYP’s business model. One woman I met in Texas has such plans. I am writing this in hope WYP might improve and in hope that some of the women on the site might read my blog and take interest in me contacting me directly.

Feel free to do so.

Long ago a woman in Texas explained her take on “What’s Your Price” and her guidelines. She said if you are interested in someone you send them a minimum offer of $5 and that means you really want to get to know them for a long term serious pairing. However, at $100 she said that indicated you wanted sex and to meet only one time.

My approach is to remain open, as open as possible. Typically, I offer $20 because a lot of people find $5 insulting. And if a woman has children I take babysitting into consideration and bump that $20 coffee or lunch date to $40.

It’s worth that to meet someone and find out if she is a candidate for something more, something greater. But many women want more money and offer sex. That’s OK. That’s their business, and sometimes quite literally.

My preference is to meet and see if there is any attraction and determine if there are any detractors. Of course, I get offers in the “professional” range akin to what a prostitute charges. Some are ridiculous. They are so high I ignore their offers then I block them!

One of the cutest posts by a female was that her favorite number is 88. [She was not referring to White Power.] She explained ‘because you get 8 twice’ or maybe it was ‘because you get ate twice.’ It was cute enough I borrowed it but then the double standard kicked in and WYP would not allow it. It seems that WYP allows much more latitude to the female profiles than the males. But this double standard can be seen all across our society as our culture has deteriorated and become decidedly anti-male.

My goal is a long term relationship and making friends on the way to meeting the woman who will be the mother of our children. With that in mind I try to engage in meeting and interviewing perspective candidates. When I see higher first date fees I am expecting a Discrete Affair.

Over the course of my life I have discovered I am not built for many random affairs. None of us are but we try to pretend we are and then we get hurt or cause problems.

Then there is the problem of the scammers. WhatsYourPrice used to be relatively free of scammers & con artists but now that many other sites have been shut down, the scammers have flocked to “What’s Your Price.” And WYP has improved in many ways but my fear is that if WYP does not deal with the scammers and offer more protections, it too may see its demise.

The best way to detect a scammer is by poorly constructed and written essays. Yet, many women have no essays. In closing, I wish WYP website would come up with guidelines that are more protective. Their lack of protections means paying more money and I do not see how WYP may be motivated to accept less money but it must be done.

Something must be done about the non-communicators and those who fail to show. I have been stood up many times and there is no protection. I hope WYP figures something out.

My guidelines are posted clearly in my essays and when a woman sends a one word message to me and that’s it, I feel violated. I state clearly that I want your name (first name) and your cell. I state I am not driving to meet until we have spoken on the phone. I have driven long distances only to be stood up.

So, it’s hard for me to recommend “What’s Your Price.” I guess I can’t afford it. I can’t afford to waste my time. I can’t afford the frustration. After driving from Payson to Flagstaff my last date made a lame excuse up and never offered to make up for it. She has been silent ever since. Was it just cold feet? I don’t know. I will never know.

Since most other internet dating sites were taken down in the fight against child sex trafficking which is being handled a lot like the “War on Drugs” (meaning the little guy or woman on the streets is oppressed while elements high in our Federal government itself run the child prostitution and child slavery trades and the child sacrifice and cannibalism practices and the “adrenachrome” businesses and other offshoots) the free dating listings offered have all dried up!

Hence, the various categories of dating and relationship connections possible on Craig’s List are all gone with the exception of “Missed Connections.” And the dating section offered on the “Backpage” are gone with the entire Backpage website!

Now, BOTH Craigslist and Backpage were infested with scammers and email spammers and all sorts of exploitative cons. There are many of these on the bigger dating sites including Match.com and Plenty of Fish.

The problem with these sites with monthly fees is that they are mostly a waste of time and they are filled with catfish. The problem with Plenty of Fish in particular is POF does not allow people at my maturity level to communicate with women of child bearing age. My dreams and goals can not be met using POF.

Also, there is a tendency in society at large to disciminate against men! And this is on all websites including the major ones and lesser ones. Men are not allowed to say (post) things that women are allowed to say! Even “What’s Your Price” employs this double standard.

Still, out of all the dating sites available today the problem of scammers of all types remains and then the question comes down to one of choosing which is more valuable? Time or money?

At the moment I am undecided. It appears that WYP is the best bet, the most productive. I will let you know later what I determine.

The world may not be doing well but we here in America are experiencing a mixed bag. It appears our “fake media” is pushing for a recession but they are not going to get it in time to accomplish their goal of getting rid of Trump in the 2020 election.

So, my take on the economy is we are relatively safe, that is, until after the 2020 election.

The Fed is going to give Trump lower interest rates and quantitative easing. That is going to result in rising prices or inflation. For the first time we are going to see things occurring in the economy that we have never seen before. Certain asset classes are going to rise with the stock market increases instead of the usually inversion.

Moreover, I see a slight possibility of our economy pulling through long term for a new stability and prosperity. While it is not probable, we do have the only President in history who has the capacity to make this happen!

Over a long period of 48 years I have had a really rough time with USAA Insurance. USAA may well be THE WORST INSURANCE COMPANY in the USA. But don’t take my word for it. Allow the (wrongful) actions of USAA to prove to you that United Automobile Services Association out of San Antonio, Texas is NOT TO BE TRUSTED! Stay tuned.
