Who are still punting here.

It’s mostly the brothel owner’s greed and poor management.

Good insight, good attitude. IME, your attitude is a great predictor of the experience you'll have. Good attitude, she'll have the same. Disappointed attitude, the "Well, if I HAVE to", will also be mirrored. On meeting, if she doesn't meet my expectations, I can bail, or, much more often, I'll look for something that I do find attractive and go with that. I'm there to enjoy; she's there to make money; more often than not, both of us satisfied. I do understand YMMV, and it's up to her on what she'll provide to me in an RnT. If it's not what I'm hoping for, hopefully, we can reach an agreement on some level of service and price that's agreeable to both.

I will slightly disagree. I've certainly had a few that were bad punts, on her. Most likely a BFL turning a LT, with an insistence of pay before, into a ST. Simple "always pay AFTER" lesson, forgotten due to complacency, relearned. That fact is simply reported in the FR.

As I've often said, regardless, bottom line, I'll KNOW what HER experience is like for ME. For most I'll post an initial AR, but not all. Given it's my time and coin, up to me.

You’re right about the tricks some girls use to get extra money out of you. But I’d say that is down to bad management practice. Well managed knocking houses incorporate that into their work culture. For example, the best run brothel in Sydney lists the specific services the girls offer. If the customer wants extras then the girl, if she is willing, is instructed to provide it then accompany the customer to the desk afterward to pay. The girl gets the money for the extra - the shop doesn’t even get a cut. It means everything is clear and there is no sense of being tricked. It’s all about service.

Respect. My example of MY bad punts was offshore, bar freelancers, where they are INDEPENDENT contractors, paid directly. Yes, you do have to negotiate EVERYTHING, menu, price, number of shots, time of departure, but since it's a MUTUAL job interview, gives you time to really gauge her attitude towards you. You want a lineup? Bar full of potential. Since nobody's wearing name tags or numbers, FR's don't bother with names, it's venues, up to you to go see. Truth is, I couldn't come up with an example here.

In SYD, I'll agree. One shop, I don't speak the language, but clear the mamasan was telling the provider to hurry up and finish as there was another batter on deck. We were finished, and, to her credit, the provider asked if she could leave 10 minutes early. She was a regular, no problem. Provider did return the favor on my next visit. Another shop, a punter came in at the quarter hour, demanding to see a specific girl for an hour. Mamasan told him he could have 45, she had a booking top of the hour. He demanded, or he would leave. "Sorry, please try another time". Respect. So yes, management plays a big part here.

Maybe it's the harbor, but easy sailing in SYD, IMO. YMMV :cool2:

Great attitude and great reason to write reviews. After a while even a lot of the good punts start to blur together or be forgotten. If I jot down some notes afterwards - even if not detailed enough for a proper AR - a later re-read can jog my memory of a good punt or girl. I generally don’t keep any notes on the bad ones; even if I later cant recall the exact details I tend to remember if I don’t want to see a particular girl again.

Three punts so far this week; will be four if tonight’s planned works out. Two with widely reported on regulars; one another regular I’ve previously written an AR on - so no need for another AR on either of them. Tonight will be a repeat if I can get the timing to work, otherwise may take a chance on a first day, ‘first time in Syd’ girl.

If so, and if the experience is ok or good I may write an AR. If it’s bad, maybe not. I try to keep in mind a girl’s experience, and that if it’s not a great punt for me it may be due to lack of experience on her part, or her not liking something about me - I wouldn’t want to risk curtailing her future earnings via a bad review for reasons outside her control or that might be purely circumstantial. Although I may be attributing too much weight to my own words there.

The Magic Ratio

How many positive/good punts does it take to outweigh the psychological effects of a single negative/bad punt?

A ton of research suggests the magic ratio is 5:1
Meaning it takes at least five good experiences to neutralize the effects of just one bad experience.

This principle lines up with why most seasoned punters have a go-to regular.

5/1 ratio? For me, that 1 has no effect. Sure, hitting a homerun due to a "softball" pitch from a regular is fun, but always? You read an interesting AR, see an interesting roster photo... Sometimes you gotta step up to the plate when lady-luck is throwing hardballs. Sure, you can strikeout, but the possibility of a hit... too enticing. A "disappointing" experience, the realty not matching my fantasy... no problem, now I know. Next. Now, a BAD punt, a beanball, getting shit on... that might take some TLC recovery.

Good point. Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll take a look at some previous decade's FR's. Given I'm a bit verbose... they can be some fun reads, bringing back some great memories.

It takes some time and effort to write a decent review, not worth the hassle just to get accused of bullshit.

I’ve seen similar accusations recently against other ARs. Almost seems like if anyone posts a positive review for one of the less popular or less known shops people will come out of the woodwork to accuse them of being a shill.

I actually did post a new review a few days ago, but it quickly got bumped down to page 5 or something by the shops bumping their old reviews every couple of hours. I accept that’s legit and within the forum rules, and the shops essentially pay to keep this forum free for us punters, so it’s all good - but it does add an extra barrier for posting new ARs if you know the casual forum users never going to see or benefit from them before they get bumped into oblivion.

Thats why 99% of my reviews go in the private section. Oops i only just posted one in the public section. :surprise:

I’ve punted every day for the past two weeks from $170 to $330 in price. Kill me now 🥲 I’ve got a session in a few mins 🙃

Yeah I'm getting that way too. Also saying regulars there's no point re-posting.

Also if the punt is a dud I usually don't post as it's YMMV unless it's an absolute terrible punt or i think a girl has been talked up too much.

I rather keep it positive and report the good ones who deserve repeat business.

Also for smaller or newer shops that don't advertise i post in the private section in case they don't want the publicity.

While the private section shields posts from non-member lurkers, it's all too easy to game the system and gain entry. DM's with known members have an increasing allure.

Ok, I've posted a new AR.

Slowly getting over punting. Most of the good looking ones want $100 for a NHJ now.

Ive got really lucky with good punts when i started, recently just so so. So maybe I'll just wait for the good ones to return

ARs are not encouraged for girls who are no longer available due to leaving the industry, country, etc which was the case with my last few punts.

As others have commented it can be a bit of a thankless task.

I try and put up reviews, in particular with the less posted about shops as I do like to find diamonds in the rough even tho sometimes they can be shithouse haha

Just chucked one up about a place in Dee why. Unfortunately I’m shit at remembering ML names

I have had my hands well and truly full with a number of sugar babes so haven’t been near a massage joint for some time. Have been tempted to get back to MAC but no time….

I can feel a bit of a slump coming on.... recently there was a bit of a glut of new faces at my local, and 7 punts in a month and I'm back to the same stale offerings I fear. A nice regular has left I think as well. I've started trolling through E&B, but so far it doesn't seem my scene.... I might just have to wait until a new cycle of new girls, and subsist on pornhub while I build a warchest for the next wave! :)
