Question for the Ladies and Gents

Nope - not pissed at all. But I do take issue with people who would claim to be better than others. You don't know "why" until you been there ---- and most people here haven't been there --- thank goodness.

Never anything about being better than someone else, just wanted opinions of would guys see someone at that price and did it effect the way other ladies set their rates with others going down and down. Thats all.

Long story short from a woman's perspective, it doesn't bother me. We're offering two different experiences.

You ever been totally broke? You ever not had a place to lay your head? You ever not had a decent meal in a couple of days? You ever NOT had a car to be able to drive to that REAL job? You ever NOT have any education to be able to even get that REAL job? Let's see -- minimum wage 6.50 hr (?) times an 8 hour day = $52 less taxes. Seems to me like having sex for $40 gets to sounding pretty good.

Be careful what you say you would or wouldn't do until you been there. Originally Posted by Go4it

Which means, to me, ladies think that they're better than such and such because they charge more. Or they're not working in the streets. Or they're charging $500 instead of $200 (I see this one personally a lot.)

Basically, we're all the same. The parameters are different. And believe me, if it were necessary to get food on the table, I would be holding one of those cardboard signs on the street corner saying, "Will fuck for food". Well, perhaps not really, but you know what I mean.

I liked how Tiffany responded. I generally do. Let's not be so quick to judge.

Also, the fabric of this business is changing. Because women are getting into escorting by the droves these days, it's causing the prices to spiral down because they just don't know better. If you can make a hundred bucks by having sex with a man, why work at Walmart, right?

Add to that the flux of sugarbabies on the market, and now it's time to just shake my head.

Hope that helps with my perspective, TXGENT!!!

She seems to be doing VERY well but she changes a lot less than I do. $150 an hour. And she's a nice woman. I highly suspect that she offers a good experience for her clients. It's just a guess but I bet that I'm right.

So who is a guy going to choose if we're basically the same package. I might have a larger vocabulary, but most of the time who cares about that?

It's something that I think about a lot these days. Heck, we all need to just be aware of market trends.

Hate it, though!!!

Thanks for everyones imput, was just wondering some thoughts and you have made them very well. It does make you think EW about prices and todays times with so many ladies. GOod for the gents i am sure for variety but can be hard on the ladies too as you spoke about with so many.

I hate to sound businesslike, but it seems to me that the QoS increases as the rate does. From what I have seen so far, $40 and $50 deals means there's a catch. You're either going to get shitty service, or there's an upsale in there somewhere. I don't know about the $80-$90 providers, but it seems to me that quality service doesn't start until the $100 - $150 range.

And as the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for".

There's another provider that charges me $50 for a half hour. I've seen her, off and on, for years. I've never had a bad experience with her, if you discount two occasions where it was short notice and she was a bit late. We laugh, we cuddle, we snuggle, we chat, we bitch, we have fun. I can remember, fondly, every single session I've had with her.

Of course, I don't have a problem with cats.

Call me weird, but I greatly prefer women who require multi-hour appointments and are on the higher rate side. I reserch thouroughly before hand, and I m pretty selective. I am looking for quality experience, not quantity. However, along with that comes expectations of a truly outstanding time and experience.

I'm in Hobbyland for the illusion of a true GFE. I seek the hugging, kissing, caressing, naughtiness and the afterglow conversation.
“ … there will ALWAYS be takers of providers that advertise really LOW , basement bargin specials …”
I hope the gents enjoy their basement bargain time.
“ … would you see a lady that advertise 40… “
No, that is merely the door cover charge. Drinks, ashtray, table cloth and a chair are an extra charge. "Oh, and you want entertainment sir?" I would not expect one iota of the GFE date I seek.
“… wondering if the prices are going to get to the 20 point …”
They might, it won’t have any effect on my hobby decisions.
Another point, the reputable ladies, such as those who posted in this thread, have little respect for the gent who thinks every Provider should meet Wal-Mart pricing.

And as the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for".

Not going to happen as usually it's not enough to even cover getting a place to have the session. I know I am not everyone's cup of tea, but I do give my all to my clients whether they are coming to see me for a short session or a longer one. I would like to be that pleasant suprise one finds
