I still cruise ECCIE and STG for nostalgic purposes now. The girls on the coast (even the not so attractive ones) have priced themselves beyond my means and I make significantly above the median income for the area.
I get that the cost of living has increased. We all feel that pinch. Inflation shot up like a rocket in the last three years. However, contrary to the absurd rhetoric from Washington, incomes have mostly stayed the same. A man with a job and bills to pay can afford approximately 8% LESS than he could afford three years ago because inflation increased but our monthly did not.
So a man can only afford no more than he could three years ago and many would say less. And what happened? Every provider on the coast wants 300 per hour, almost 100 more than a year ago. Simply can’t afford it and I am a man just over 50. Thirty minutes will not work for me. So I am out of the market. Out of the hobby and missing it. 200 per hour was a good rate for me. That’s still the rate (ironically) in larger more expensive cities like DC because of competition I suppose.
If a lawyer or doctor with 8 years of college and specialized skills only charges 200 an hour (sometimes less) someone performing a physical task that comes naturally to every mammal on the planet can not justifiably charge 300 an hour for it. Write ads any way you like but sex is not a specialized skill and pu$$y is not plated in gold and jewel encrusted. Just a fact.
Oh well. They wouldn’t charge that if a bunch of out of town visiting drunk casino gamblers were not willing to pay it.
