Overpriced providers.

The only time a lady really should Raise her rates is if demand exceeds supply Originally Posted by samara

Not true from a personal standpoint.

I'm always the first to argue economics, but respectfully it's because I understand them. A provider may be willing to work 40 hours per week. If she got 40 hours of work charging $150, then she'd be making $6k per week. Now suppose that at $250 per hour, she was getting 30 hours of work per week. She'd be making $7.5k doing less work. As such, profit would be higher when she raises her prices even though demand falls and even though she's willing to give 40 hours of supply.

Personally, she may be ok charging $400 an hour and only working 10 hours a week for $4k per week. Not everyone's sole goal is profit maximization. Some people prefer quality of life over shear money.
^^ perfect! I'm glad someone understands!

Cool!
I set my rates based on what I think my time and skill set is worth, plain and simple Not one person has to agree with that, nor has one person ever been obligated to choose me over say a less expensive provider... Or any provider at all... This is called a hobby because it is just that. It is entertainment... Unlike food, water, gas, electricity, etc no one NEEDS these services to survive. So foor those who are complaining (and fortunately that seems to be the minority) chill out... If pricing is really such a huge issue to you, remember, your hand still doesn't charge you a thing...

I have always been taugh that you get what you pay for no matter what it is. The average rate these days are 250-300 and they have been my greatest experiences. Although it still requires good screening and preference. Anything below the average then you are rolling the dice; you could end up having a hot dream or a living nightmare. Anything above the average, the expectations are higher but not guarantee.

Cause you believe our businesses and the money we make don't count?

Or, because some might not understand economics?

Just curious why you ask him to do that......

I realize I could make a lot more money if I lowered my rates. But I couldn't image being able to entertain at the level I do if I did. Right now I take 2-3 day getting ready for a date. If I charged less, I would have to increase my business and have to see multiple men in a day. I wouldn't be able to give so much of myself if I did.

If a man is just looking for sex, yeah sure he can find good sex for a lot less. But, I like to connect on multiple levels and that type of connection would be hard for me to create if I was spreading myself so thin.

And it is my belief that this deeper connection, this intimacy, changes good sex into a great mind blowing experience.

I have seen ladies in the $200 range that I consider the best in the business in looks and services and I have seen ladies in the $300 to $350 range that look great with great service. There is no set price for any group as each provider can charge what she wants and we can choose to see her or not.
Most of the time the level of how it goes is based on how the client and provider view each other and if they are into each other in my experience.
Most of the ATF'S I have had came from the East Texas area and price in the $200 to $250 range.
As for as looks we all have different taste as I have tried it all and really like young spinners the best at this moment but had some that were medium and heavy that were also fantastic.
Again, it is what she feels is a good price for her and then we look and decide if we want to go in at her price.
One of the reasons I hobby as at my age I can't get a young spinner with out putting out the $$$$ in the hobby or real life but hey it is worth it to live that fantasy for a hour or two. I just recently saw two young spinner providers in the 200 to 250 range and I can say they were probably the best in all aspects compared to all the 200 plus I have seen in my years of hobby.
