Are Houston guys cheap? If so, why so many escorts?

In economic changes, Houston is the last to go down ....

.... and the first start coming back. There is money to be made here. Originally Posted by LexusLover

If both people paid the same price $50 for a widget.
The person selling them for $200 and only selling 4 a week
or
The person selling them for $150 and selling 10 a week plus they get more repeat business due to price,

How can you help?

We are just smart buyers...
If I can get the same thing for less then why would I pay more.

A lady will surely burn out fast going that route. Then some of you wonder what happened to all the delightful ladies from years past at those cheap prices.

Hey, Know-It-All Asshole,

The cost is $50 per widget, as stated in the hypothetical.

I guess you skipped English class.

Ahhh, yeah. Gotta love the twisted irony of the American way of life.

Overpay me, but don't overcharge me...and vice versa.

Many, not all but many, women want too much for their 'services'. But follow them to the mall after a session, and watch them NOT buy a pair of shoes because they cost 2 bucks more than they're willing to pay for them. "Oooh, y'all stuff too high in here."

Oh, the wonderful irony about 'selling' the kitty is, you still get to keep it after selling it. That means it can be resold, over and over, time and again. This is a great advantage to the sellers. The potential flip side to that is, half of the population has the same thing, and can also sell theirs.

If I don't like the price on yours, I can go elsewhere. Basic rule of almost all businesses. As far as tipping, being 'cheap', and overpaying goes, I think calling someone cheap because they don't want to overspend I think is unfair. Overspending is relative, and can be viewed as being financially irresponsible. The analogy I like to use is, why overpay for a Coke? They're about a buck 50 per 20 ounce in many vending machines. Why would any smart consumer go pay 3 bucks for one? Like the kitty, there are factors that determine how 'good' the Coke is. Unopened vs opened, in a fridge or have been sitting out, level of carbonation, etc. You get the idea.

Attempting to avoid overspending for anything is a self-preservation mechanism. Why be upset at anyone for it?

Just my $0.02...

Yes, the ladies who do not charge more want the same thing.

Too much wear and tear on her body. They want to be able to enjoy the company of the men who see her, not feel worn out trying to "screw" and "blow" every guy out there who wants to pay the cheap price of 50-100 bucks.
Never underestimate the resilience and capabilities of a women's body...
Many men have been surprised at how much they can take and then do it again...
Our culture just over protects them sometimes, so many do not know what they can do.

A lady will surely burn out fast going that route.
You might speak to some of the guys that are still banging the hot babes that are still around from 15 - 20 years ago...before you make such assumptions.
I doubt you would want to compete with them...even today at your prime.

Then some of you wonder what happened to all the delightful ladies from years past at those cheap prices.
Maybe some of us...but some of us know what happened to them.
They made enough money to "retire" and purchase houses, businesses, property...got married, had children.
They are still around and many keep much younger men now.

And contrary to what you seem to think, they can still out fuck, suck, think and charm the dizzy women 15 years younger than them, who think they are worth a lot of money per session but can't seem to make their rent sometimes...

It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Hell, I keep my donations reasonable, but even advertising HALF OFF, no increase, or often no calls at all. So may as well stick to the higher donation in SOME cases such as mine - if someone wants to see you badly, they will I suppose no matter what the donation.

Once in a while a higher priced escort really gets my attention. I have found that quality really does come with a price and that if you want the best then you will pay more. With that said, there are a lot of great ladies out there. If some of the lower priced women learned the tricks that separate them from the rest they could soon charge more as well. Yesterday I saw a lady from Dallas that thought $300 was a ood price because she was in an upscale hotel. She forgot to add a relaxed no rush atmosphere and a geninuine interest in me. Until then its just window dressing. Last Week I saw a lady from Vegas at $500 and will pay it again gladly next time I can meet up with her. She totally understands the difference and was totally focus on giviing the best expierience she could and was williing to do whatever it took. She was truely a once in a lifetime expierience. Thank God for my budget that she isn't from Houston.

I should start a poor man's agency just for the hell of it.

$120hr
$90 30min

It probably wouldn't have the hottest girls but it might be a great value.

I don't have the time or the energy to actually do it but it's an idea. What do yall think? Originally Posted by Sweet Discretion

We could call it "The People's Agency". I could just staff it with ladies who couldn't cut it at the other agencies. There are plenty of them and most with awesome service. Just a little bit lower down on the looks scale. Originally Posted by Sweet Discretion

That would be awesome!!! Kinda like I-10 Melissas but better! I would gladly see a 4 or 5 over a 10 anyday for cheaper that provided a better attitude, service, and performance.........

How about calling the place "LatinaMart" or "59 Latinas"???

One of our fine providers mentioned on another thread how it was a "buyers market" for escorts in Houston now. I'd never really thought of it before but I have to admit there are a lot of them around and more arriving every day.

My question is, if the escort population out there thinks Houston men are cheap (a sentiment I've heard several times from visiting escorts) why are there so many of them here? And a follow up, are Houston men really cheap or is that something escorts say to get us to tip bigger? Originally Posted by utr_guy_in_houston

I think the main reason for the concentrations of escorts here is because Houston is a major metropolis area with many business travelers from all over the world. I get a lot of them and they are usually more generous than the locals here.

The economy has a lot to do with the influx of girls doing escort work. I ended up doing this after a long career as a legal secretary for this very reason. Could not pay my bills! I have to say it can be fun if you are careful and choosy about your clients.

Because of the ups and downs in business, I would recommend it as a good part-time job or for extra cash. Either that, or just save when you are doing well and when business is good. That way, you have a back-up when it's slow and don't have to see men at a cheaper rate or go below your own screening standards.

I keep my major bills as low as possible, so as not to be dependent on a higher income level.

I don't feel comfortable doing high volume or seeing someone that totally turns me off.
