I mean with the mentality that 500 is ok because only guys that can burn money can afford it, why not charge 1000 or 2000? These same guys that throw money away at 500 would still pay 1000 or 2000 right? It really wouldn't matter to them financially. Originally Posted by royamcrRoy,

We get it--$500 is more than you wish to spend. So move on.
But now it seems you are at least as interested in bashing her regardless of price. But put that aside--the reality is $500 is not inherently "too much", "too little", or "just right". It all depends on the gentleman in question and what HE believes it is worth to him at that time.
You are probably correct, the norm is probably closer to $200-300. There are some in the $20 range, and some in the $25,000 range. And no, they are far from interchangeable to the guys paying the freight.
I know some $25K ladies (no, I never paid that or anything close to it). I know what the men who pay that are looking for. They keep coming back, so they must thing it is worth it to them. I have been to events with some of those ladies--no, they were NOT my date for the evening--and watching I can very definitely tell why some guys are willing to pay that.
I have on occasion paid $500 or more, not all the time. Almost without exception the experience has been very different than the $200 ones. But if all you are looking for is to drop your pants and run through a checklist, maybe the differences do not matter to you. Nothing wrong with that, but don't try to understand whether the difference is worth it to someone else if you don't value the differences.
If this particular lady isn't worth that price to enough guys, the price will adjust. Until that happens you can probably assume she is getting enough business to meet her business model's needs. There are a lot of ladies who would rather see two dates a week at $500 that five dates at $250. It isn't all about the gross; their time has value to them as well.
