SO MANY variables come into play, where the prettier providers can get top $, and still offer limited menus GPS menus. Exceptional service, high IOP,qualities I find attractive, also factor in. I may be willing to pay a little extra for the lookers, but not if all she's going to do is lay there and be pretty.... One of the many reasons I'm divorced.
While we all seek a balance of quality service with an attractive lady, and said lady desires to be compensated accordingly. I gotta go with, the Theory that the reason the ladies are charging more, is because horny guys are willing to pay... Bottom Line, it's her body she can name her price, but it's his wallet, and the choice to part with his money is ultimately his.
There is no way we as clients can control what services are offered or what price the ladies are charging, we can only control whether to accept what is offered, or look elsewhere.
GS.... Yer kinda dating yourself quoting that VERY old muffler commercial. I had to dig way back in the cobwebs of my mind to recall that one...
