Wasn’t this posted on Slog about a year ago?
Well women are still paid less than men…
That’s a 300% rate increase, not 400%. (40 – 10)/10 = 3.
I like how sex and ‘heavy duty cleaning services’ are lumped together. Dude must be a catch.
@3) Math!
Is bathroom duty considered “light” cleaning duty?
I have a female roommate…I can get the $10/hr rate now. Hrm…
@6 You’d have to wear the red panties, though.
@7 Eh…been there, done that. Does nothing for me, nor does it bother me.
Actually, though, I do like flipping a guy in a miniskirt every now and then.
Also, do you think he actually does a decent job of cleaning? Does he do floors? I don’t need them polished…just mopped.
That’s illegal as hell. Someone should sue the pants off them.
Ba-da-boom.
supply and demand. I would imagine more men than women would be interested in such a service; pulling from a bigger pool, he can aim for the top cohort and charge them more.
@8 My limited experience with cleaning people (alas, I’ve only sampled the clothed variety) is that they are rather less detail oriented than I am. Also, I tend to equate via wine, as in, “How much wine could I buy if I skipped the service and did it myself?” It is remarkably easy to talk myself out of hiring a maid.
@11 At $25/hr (the usual for clothed women), I found it easy to justify not hiring a maid. At $10/hr, I find it difficult to resist.
@11,
Drinking wine while cleaning makes the task far less bothersome.
@13 Drinking wine makes almost anything less bothersome… 🙂
Can you book one hour? I’ll give him $10 bucks to clean my small apartment for an hour and he can keep his clothes on. I would leave and let him be naked, but I don’t trust strangers w/ my precious piles of crap and clutter.
Wasn’t Dominic the one who posted this last time? Is he getting some sort of kickback?
@17, what would a 100% increase be then?
@16, yes, it was Dominic last time too, but that was almost a whole year ago. Among other differences in the version of the flyer in his last post, the regular price was lower and the ladies’ price higher. Ring an economist to interpret, please…

Can we have him clean the z house? I could use a day off.
And here’s today’s public service announcement: Yahoo’s e-mail service appears to be down for most everyone.
Sure, it has nothing to do with this thread, but there’s nowhere else to post it.
Some flyers for this were up around Fremont.
There have been roaming outages in many places, @21.
Thanks everyone for the feedback and interest in my services, and to Dom for the free promotion!
Will they do windows?
Regarding the math: Both 300% and 400% are correct numbers with only tiny changes in how the sentence reads. Men pay 400% of what women pay (40/10 = 4 x 100 = 400). However, there is a 300% INCREASE from what women pay to what men pay ((40-10)/10 = 3 x 100 = 300). It’s the kind of incredibly subtle wording differences that screw people over on standardized tests. I should know, I write them.
@23 Do you do floors and bathrooms?
@9: http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz296…
@21: Confirmed. Seems to be working again. According to my dad, Yahoo’s servers were being weird.
I probably could, but usually my clients seem to lose interest in cleaning soon after I arrive and find other non-cleaning related tasks for me to perform.
@28 Meh…I just want my house cleaned…
My attitude right now resembles the only funny line in Exit to Eden from Rosie O’Donnell: “How can I fulfill your fantasy?” “Go clean my house.”
@3
Dominic is a high school dropout, cut him some slack.
My husband is always asking me what he can do to please me, generally after I’m done giving him a nice blow job. My answer never changes: clean the house.
His response never changes either: a laugh, a quick change in subject, and no cleaning.
I’d gleefully pay $10/hour to have a man clean my house. He doesn’t even have to be naked!
@29: That’s cool, I’m trying to improve my cleaning skills, but it’s tough when you have cock as huge as mine.
@17-18: For people, like blib and Domino, who tend to make this mistake, asking the question “what would 100% be?” is an excellent self-check! If rate A is 100% of rate B, that means rate A and B are the same. If rate A is a 100% increase over rate B, rate A is twice rate B. If blib still insists this is wrong, I invite him to increase his rent by 100% and pay me the difference.
i’m not so upset about the rate diff. for men and women, but undercutting the going rate for clothed housecleaners is very poor form. (i’d totally hire him anyway.)
