To get an interesting perspective, bounce on over to the Ottawa strip club thread. You get two main conversations:
The first is complaining that the clubs aren't what they use to be, far less women, far less beautiful, far less 'mileage' and extras. Too many scammers (discounters).
The second conversation is people saying they will quit the club immediately if they ever try to increase the price of a song from $20 (the same price for about 20 years).
I'm sure you can see the problem.
Women leave when the, um, juice isn't worth the squeeze. If they get to that point can't raise their rates then they either have to leave the city, or retire. It's no different than any other business or profession.
Look at the thread on tipping, how many guys refused to even consider a $20 tip 'out of principle'. I'd bet that a lot of these 'retired' ladies are still seeing a couple of their high-end clients a couple times a year. I'd also bet that if prices here shot up to Toronto levels overnight we'd get a whole lot more (apologies for the crude economic term) 'supply' as well.
Gentlemen, you want better girls doing more, pay better. Personality I would love, love, love if we got visits in Ottawa from world class companions. Las Vegas has FS current Playboy models, New York has FS Victoria Secret and FHM models. Our city is literally between London and New York. Just imagine what kind of experiments we could have if we weren't bitching about a $40 upcharge for x or y.
