This Hobby maybe growing beyond my means

[tigerman1965]

It just seems like every provider any quality has raised there rates to at least $$$. gone are the days of $$.5 or even $$. I am not a wealthy man .It may be time to just put that money into an IRA or something.

[ManOnAMission]

Don't put it in an IRA you'll only have to pay a fee when you take it out to hobby.

I usually keep still when I see things like this.
Men have no idea what goes into a providers business! Do you want a manicured and pedicured woman, or a female with bear claw feet, hands, and hair? Do you want a sexy woman in sexy lingerie and stockings or a female in a raggedy old t-shirt, granny panties, and mismatched knee socks? Then there is the cost of advertisement, procuring a play place, or driving to HIS place, etc. And I haven't BEGUN to touch on the cost of our own homes and families! Its called the cost of living and doing business.
Quality providers provide quailty service, there are plenty of providers of quality who will ring your bell and knock it clean off the table! Those ladies are out there, ready to rock you until you are weak in the knees. Lolita, Zada, Lisa, Mina, Staci, Dallas, the agency girls and me too! And so many more that I haven't mentioned. All these women go above and beyond to make the men they meet have the best experience they can give them.

Not so...The average provider around here is about $$.5. The only one that charge $$$ are the providers that travel. Once awhile , I fork over $$$ for some European and Columbian babes at Aphrodite.

[DallasRain]

wohooooooooooooo hold the horses Nelly!

Thanks Nicolet==YOU ARE SO SWEET TO MENTION NAMES OF SOME top QUALITY LADIES {INCLUDING YOURSELF TOO}!!!

but.....I cannot be 'lumped" in the catagory with the mentioned ladies! I am $200 and have been since day ONE! I have never raised my donation and in fact I have even cut them in soMe places

I even offer fetishes at the same rate.....I don't even charge extra for couples!

I charge what I feel comfortable with cause i LUV LUVLUV what I do/who i do and hOW i DO IT!

[tigerman1965]

Please don't get me wrong. I am not bitching, just stating that it may be time for me to hold back. I do however beg to differ though because Lolita, Zada and Staci have all raised there rates to $$$, as is your Quoted rate Nicolet. This is totally your poragative. I am saying its begun to be a hobby I can't really afford on a regular basis anymore. I think that you have jumped to a conclusion and in someway feel that I am questioning what you should charge. In fact I am not. You set your rate as you belive it to be fair and people either decide to pay it or not. I was only speaking about my personal situation, not what you should do.

Dallas thank you for always being a greatr voice of reason. I have met you at a meet and greet, but have never seen you professonally.

[Nicolet]

I have never raised mine either...... I included you with the other ladies whose rates are as the gentleman stated. From 200 to 300.

Edited to say: I understand, these are tough times for all of us. If you have a lady on your to-do list, stash some money away for a special treat for yourself.

I must reiterate, my rate has been the same since 2010.

[johnathan]

Rates have increased but since you seen so many providers, you got grandfathered rates. I for one not paying a higher rate for a second time around.

[justatoy61]

to quote that great philosopher charlie sheen, 'i don't pay women for sex, i pay them to leave when we're done!'

on a serious note, i feel your pain tm, but nicolet brings up some good points. have you had a night on the town lately with a non-provider lately? after dinner, drinks, etc. there's only a CHANCE you MIGHT get a little action and still be out 3 bills. those with an SO we hide our guilty pleasures from can't really have a night out like that with some strange and invest that much time with the POSSIBILITY of playing hide the salami for obvious reasons. they provide an invaluable service and $$$ is a small price to pay. now, are they worth it or not is a different story, but there are some VERY worthwhile companions in the lower price range.

nic, there is nothing wrong with a lady in a sweatshirt and mismatched knee socks! if they look delicious THAT way, one can only imagine them all dolled up. besides, after a good sweaty session of knocking boots, don't we all look just a little disheveled anyway?

[tigerman1965]

Well I don't see that many providers, but I also have never asked to be "granfathered" I assume a providers listed rate is just that. I have never tried to negoiate. I think they probably get tired of that, and its just not my style

[Brmike1963]

I don't quibble about rates. I can either afford it or I can't. But I can relate to you tigerman , I often wonder if I should take my play money and invest for the future. Then I picture Lisa Lyons naked on her knees in front of me and decide I'll deal with the future in the future and deal with Lisa right now.

[ilovedatass]

well put Mike

[tigerman1965]

I here your Mike.. I was just saying that it may be time for me to put it on the shelf for awhile. I'm not sure why someone took offense to it

[Nicolet]

I didn't take offense to you personally, tigerman1965. This topic has come up in some form or other many times.
Hobbying is a luxury, and in these difficult times, not many can afford luxuries of any kind.

@justatoy61, your absolutely correct! Whether a $500 bra and panty set, or dollar store sweats and granny panties, they all end up on the floor!

[funkyromance]

I just need to save harder before I could see a lady.
