Is it just me or is it getting a little pricey up here?

[Recurve Jones]

I travel quite a bit and I can attest to the prices being inflated and the services being deflated. So, it's really not that bad when you think about it. Plus there's always negotiation and shit and lying about rates and whathaveyou.

[Gbfsl]

If people come to you only for price, then they will leave for the price as soon as they find cheaper somewhere else. And there is always cheaper someplace else. Pay whatever you can afford. Charge whatever you think you can get. There is plenty of pussy here in Dallas at any price point you are able to play in.
And the wheels on the bus go round and round.

This is why I've tried to keep rates reasonable.... when I came back this time....i was doing 150 or 160 an hour as an introductory rate...

Maybe I'll try that again... business was overwhelming somedays...had to turn down many appts... I felt super guilty....but never a dull moment

When I first came into the hobby the dominate rate was 200/hr but that was in 2009. Everything has gone up since then and rent is one of the big items so I can understand providers wanting more for the same level of service. Inflation is a bitch. I have had to curtail my activity because I am now on a fixed income. Yes, I can still find providers at 200/hr but usually not the ones I am interested in so my only other option is to play less often.

Actually, arguing about rent is valid only if the provider is seeing clients to at most five to seven for thirty days.

Which to me sounds like a non-sequitur.

And if the said provider is seeing client within the range of ten to twenty, is actually a good number.

At most, $1,500 is enough to cover for fifteen days, break it down to about eight clients at $200.

Do you think rent is the only bill a provider has?

I think that's awfully skimpy.

IKR...i guess we only exist for sucking and fucking...so what else could we possibly have to pay other than rent...

I guess escorts get free phone and internet service....lingerie, makeup, beauty products, clothes, toys, cars, uber rides, waxing, the hair and nail salon ect...you guys..it all comes in the free escort start up kit we all get when we join icky

Very good argument here Grace.

The Asian massage parlor is the way to go. Their prices are reasonable, the services are better (in most cases) and the ladies are buy and large knockouts. Though sometimes you do get the odd one from time to time. The downside is no outcall and the occasional LE attention. But there are so many that there's no way they can shut all of them down. There are some real nice ones. Rubmaps is another good place to read reviews and services rendered.

Inflation smaition. Inflation doesn't matter. Rent Sment. Irrelevant!

If a [ fill in the professional title, i.e lawyer, doctor , cop, mechanic, or hooker ]had all their expenses paid for somehow, lets say a trust fund, and even had extra discretionary income to play, why would they charge less than what they can earn?

No one would question a lawyer who charges 350 or 500 an hour. Most folks can't afford that. There are enough people who can afford it and deem their service worth it. Otherwise they would not be able to charge that much.

They may choose to do something at a lower rate, or pro boner ( I'm funny!), on occasion. It is their choice.

ALSO as a culture we generally associate value with price. You get what you pay for, we think. Therefore price becomes a marketing tool to sell the idea you are using something with more value.

Mary Louise Parker's character in "Weeds", sold the same product at a higher price to affluent clientele by putting it in a nice package. The perceived value made it sell. ( a TV show, but very realistic scenario. )

Chrysler Mopar Mercedes uses or used, I'm not certain anymore, the exact same frame and engine block for a Chrysler Crossover as it did for a Mercedes model.

A thermostat is a very cheap part at Autozone. You can install it your self within minutes. Call your local mechanic as see what he will charge to do it.


Funny enough, especially here in the south, a woman's virtue has a priceless premium attached to it. However, once she puts a price on it and starts selling it, she gets less respect than a lying snake of a lawyer charging out the ass or a shyster mechanic.

If a girl ups her game and ups her price, these dumb ass threads start.

Pay and get laid. Don't pay and jack off. Just deal....
