change$$$$ for the better in nola

I've only raised my as my demand got higher. I honestly just didn't have the time with all of the phone calls I was getting, so I raised the rate and got fewer calls, but enough so that I was comfortable. If I saw people for half hour $ dates, I'd have to install a revolving door, then my more discerning clients wouldn't want to see me anymore. So why would I do that?

I have always been jealous of the guys in Texas. A lot of the girls I see when they tour here for $$.5 an hour or more charge $.6 or less and hour there. I would like to see the prices in and around NO the same. To me its much easier to justify spending less than $$ bills for a date than it is when shelling out $$.5 or more. I really never question $.6 where as I talk myself out of spending $$.5 all the time. I have no problem with the providers who charge higher rates. I charge as high an hourly rate as I can in my profession. I guess it comes down to supply and demand like pointed out earlier when setting a base price point. I just wish I could afford to look at $$.5 the same way I look at $.6. I know a lot of hobbyist in the area do or there wouldn't be enough demand for the higher rate here and rates would adjust to the levels seen in Texas. Either way I love all the ladies here regardless of what they charge, so a big thanks to you all even if you are to rich for my blood. There is always that outside chance I win the lottery.

Thanks babe!!

There are some of us "reputable" girls in Nola who are reasonably priced who can get your blood flowing nicely!! lol!

I have spoken with some guys who have seen some of the girls that are priced at $.6 and complain that they did not get the same level of service that a girl priced at $$.5 will give. They felt rushed, no MSOG, we're treated rudely and did not get the time they paid for. And it only stands to reason that this is the way it is. A girl at $.6 has to do twice as many clients to make the same amount of money so she is more likely to get you out the door as quickly as she can, she's tired and she's cranky. Do you think they want to only charge so little? I think not.

Be careful what you ask for cause you're gonna get what you pay for!

damn if
I lower my donations any lower,I will be giving it away...lol!!

Like I said, it's all supply and demand. Houston, Dallas and most of Texas are saturated with providers, and many are young and hot college aged girls. $200/$250 is pretty average and they've got lots of competition, but they've also got a larger pool of potential clients. It's ironic that the usual economic rules don't apply in that where supply and demand seem to be a factor, there are more dollars available to spend in Texas than LA. Texas has much more money than LA and they could probably afford to spend more. One would think that working in a less affluent area would bring prices down but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

However, anyone expecting a $160 girl to provide the same level of service, with the same attitude as a higher priced lady is living in LA LA Land. $160 is fine if a guy just wants a quick in and out (pun intended ) and doesn't expect a true GFE. Regardless, there will always be someone willing to spend whatever amount is asked if he really wants to see that person, if they have the money to do so.

I have a very great group of friends I don't want to offend so yes this is an alias I don't know where you are seeing this so called price decreases Big but as of eros new orleans this month most are in the 3-400 range and my guess is although those girls are not working as much it is because they don't want or have to. If you want cheap ass and don't care where you put your thing, or what diseases you will get from being so stupid, that's on you. Many guys here don't feel the need to take anything home and don't think only with the little head when it comes to the important things. The more you charge the less guys you have to see period. I know plenty of girls in New Orleans in the 4-5 market who only see a few guys a week yet still pull in close to 6 grand a month on just 8-10 a month. They don't have to offer discounts or lower their rates because they have other income. If you don't want to or can't afford to play in this market, then go somewhere else. No one is going to lower their rate for YOU unless they are just plain desperate for money, and that begs the queston just what else would they do to make that buck. I don't know about anyone else here but my mortgage alone is $3700 a month!! Add car insurance, health insurance, food, gas, grooming and I easily go through 6 or 7k a month. How the hell would you expect me to make that charging 2 or 3 hundred? I would be worn the hell out and likely no one would even want to see me in that condition. Think before you post please!!

Guys like Dave, Mr. Giz, Bodilly may not all be willing to spend the money but you rarely ever hear them bitching about what a girl charges do you? Simply put they know it gets you nowhere but on the blacklist and makes you look like an infested, cheap, victim no one will see. I for one am noting your email and handle and will stay far away because from what you have just admitted to doing, you need a visit to the nearest clinic!

I live in La. but do %90 of my hobbying in Texas as it's easier for me to do away from home. My ATF is in Houston and greee with Dave that there are many to choose from. My personal preference is low volume providers which in MOST cases corresponds to the providers with the higher rates. Sadly with my hectic schedule I am only able to hobby sparingly so don't mind paying the higher rates. I also prefer multi hour appts (GFE a must) when I find someone I click with thus increasing the cost even more. It is my belief that you get what you pay for with most things in life with the rare instance that you find a gem at a bargain.

Yep and you don't see the higher priced girls begging for business every day on this board either do ya? At the rates I have seen on BP and CL lately I honestly think most of these girls are homeless. How the hell can anyone make a living on less than 3 grand a month? Puzzled~

My income varies because I'm self-employed and I have busy times and slow times. $400 is a day's pay for me, if I work the whole day. On average, I might have 10 full days of work, plus a few other small jobs here and there. In a very busy month (of which there may only be 2 or 3 out of the year) I might pull in $6K or more, but there are slow months where my income might not cover all my bills. Not to mention paying quarterly taxes, so budgeting and spending wisely is a must. Something I didn't do too well last year and now I'm paying for it.

Personally, the ladies I see are usually in the $300 to $400 range and I sometimes do 2 hours. Unfortunately, I'm extremely slow now so the only hobbying I'll be doing is with my ATF and maybe one or two other favorites, but I have to save up to see them at the moment. I just had to pass one up because the funds aren't there.

Keep in mind, though, that the original poster was looking at a BP girl with a $180/hr rate and not a well known, proven provider on Eros or ECCIE. It's almost like comparing apples to oranges.

Damn, this economy sucks! Thanks Obama!

Laoilman,

The government, for once, is being very efficient. Instead of bailing out the hobby community, Washington has gone ahead by just fucking us all.

P.S. Before being accused of hijacking the thread, Providers are free to charge whatever they feel like and the Hobbyists are free to see whoever they want at their price range. Accusing the other party of being cheap, expensive, (or any other names for that matter) is just tasteless.

Then again, it's all depends on what the buyer and the seller think their commodity is worth. Some guys just think that no "pussy" (pardon the vulgarity) is worth more than a certain amount. Others look at the whole package and the experience being worth a certain value, while some put a value on a woman's looks alone and not the service/whole package. Many women think they've got "golden vaginas" and can charge a fortune.

Personally, I like the whole package, but it doesn't matter how good a lady's service is, if she not the body type or have the attributes I like, then no matter how low her price is I probably won't see her. I also won't go over a certain amount until and unless I'm making a whole lot more money or win the lottery. And there are no "golden vaginas" in my opinion.

Dave agree with you on the economy but as it has been emphasized many times before, this is NOT a necessary thing...it is a luxury item and if you can't afford quality, then you should just pick up someone in a bar. Not "you" personally, but in the general sense. No one is forcing anybody to cheat on their wives are we? For you single guys no one is forcing you to spend the money on a hooker either. It is a choice you make, and if you are a good client(which by word of mouth you clearly are), your regulars will always be willing to work with you because of the attitude and tact you show by NOT haggling. For first timers calling up asking for a discount or a half hour when none is offered, it is ludicrous and annoying, and they are blocked. Some guys don't really care if they are number 4 or 5 on a given day, while others view that as a serious health risk and would rather pay a premium then be with someone who is used up, and not so careful as to whom they see. This pool is not for broke guys and most all they will attract are broke women who are desperate for money, and will do just about anything to get it.

I have seen time and again all these beautiful girls on BP rip guys off, not be the girl in the pics, only offer cbj and god awful chj and why? You really expect to get a young, in shape, CLEAN, and reputable provider for less than a decent rate..not going to happen. If it does it is usually some girl who is young and naive and either has a pimp or a drug problem who is willing to do that, and she is not even around a year after that. You get what you pay for one way or the other.

That's part of my point. It is a luxury item for most and luxury items are the first things to go when money is tight. They're also the first to lower rates to get business back. Right now Vegas hotels, cruise lines, resorts and the like are offering deep discounts with half off or more rates just to stay afloat.

At some point, if/when things get worse and money is much tighter, many of the higher priced ladies might have to resort to lower rates just to get any business at all. Escorts are not recession/depression proof. No money to spend = no money to earn. Is it possible that those who dabble in the HDH realm drop down to the $300 to $400 ladies and keep them busy? Sure, but then the HDH ladies have to drop their prices. Unless you're selling something with actual overhead and expenses that must be recouped, prices can't go below a certain point in order to make a profit. Most women could manage to wear the clothes they already have and do their own hair, makeup and nails, so other than a hotel, overhead is very little, especially if they work out of their house. It's almost all profit and price can go much lower if need be.

And then there are some of us who just can't get lucky at a bar. So for us it is a "necessary" sort of thing to keep sane and not put a bullet in our head.
