Wow. This is... providers raise their rates because they can. And I'm pretty sure most providers get better with experience.

Love it when guys complain on the board about hooker prices...in belief it will do anything to change it.

You know, this may come as a shock to you, because I doubt that they cover this at Mensa meetings, but providers don't charge by the pound or by the years they've been on the planet.

They charge by the services and experiences they offer, the clientele they cater to and what the market bears. Just like you have options of where you wish to shop, we have options of which type of client we choose to appeal and market to.

And unless you're a provider, how can you speak about whether a provider's business has decreased or increased? I love when a man speculates about our productivity as if he's a fly on the wall. Vaguely amusing. Genius level amusing.

Umm, chief,
All the gals but one on my recurring dance card already have tans. The one doesn't need it.
Ok I couldn't resist that.

Back to the OPs question, a lot of valid answers above. Yes the changing legal landscape is a huge item.

As to the rate thing, good for the gals that are smart businesswomen. I for one enjoy meeting professionals.

And, BigDeal is correct:

What’s the info on this site disappearing in January? This is new news to me?

[Unique_Carpenter]

bill,
Site is not scheduled to disappear. A lot of us just think that a fair amount of participants may stop participating as fosta/sesta federal law goes live in Jan. Thus, folks will go utr.
Frankly, gals have been professionally dating for a few thousand years. Do we really need the internet?

Look at all the unanswered requests, maybe it's the girls are not as responsive. Or available when requested. I personally have had a request take days to answer.

[Unique_Carpenter]

Try pre-booking a day or two in advance. And mention that in the message you leave.

[Needy1]

I normally do, but there's always the unexpected in between free time that comes up.....what can I say...I love the women

And you aren’t reading the entire post, where it says that providers can charge whatever they want. It also references posts by some providers that, shortly after raising their rates, complain on line that their business isn’t as brisk as it once was. It’s just in this time of SESTA/FOSTA the hobbyist side of the business is getting more selective in who to visit. And since ai’ve already had my fill of the talent in KC, I don’t care whose lists I’m on. :-)
