are you having the same issue?

IMHO!!

The base amount for a tryst has increased by 50% on average. What used to be 1.5 or 1,6 is now CONSISTENTLY 2.25 to 2.8 for an hour.

Some guys seem to be able to be happy with 1/2 hours over and over.

Those of us that PREFER an hour are forced into the higher changing rate.

So I plan my hobby dollar much more carefully so I can still enjoy my time and companionship.

It is more expensive for everyone right now. Just a sign of the times.

I'll say this for me though, I am sticking WAY more to what I know will be the most useful return for my dollar.

Likki Nikki puts it well 100% of nothing is still nothing.

No matter how hot you are or how skilled you are..... us buyers are only available with just so much cash.

good luck

Both for current clients and for prospective clients.

Providers should always consider "outreaching" to past and present and future clients via "discreet marketing" and if a gent has given you permission to send him a PM from time to time, why not consider doing so. Didn't give you permission? Ask him for it. The PM system here and elsewhere is secure enough for that type of outreach.

If you have a website, does it have a mailing list you can "exercise" from time to time to let "special" clients know what's up. Hopefully, the client will be 'UP" for that type of communication.

There is NO shortage of past, current and future providers in these here parts.

Some of them even attend local "events" and imho gain some new clients from those. Count me in on that at twice or three times in the past several months. Heck, maybe even in the last 7 days. (See my signature for local event opportunities.)

Marketing, by the way, is something that I have always preached takes time. My estimate is that providers should spend something like at least 2 or 3 hours TCB to net ONE hour of boudoir income.

And, additionally, marketing is not just LOCAL. You can post in other cities' ad forums and suggest to folks in Houston, or Austin, or Dallas who travel to San Antonio that your time could be their time.

You should consider using as many available resources out there as you have time to explore.

Advice from all posters above is very cogent.

ck1942, Very nice
