RAISING prices BECAUSE you have no customers seems like a bad business model. Same principle as the pencil joke

A pencil seller was selling pencils for a million dollars figuring he only had to sell one

Yes, it would have nice to grandfather you in as you have been so loyal
It seems like a bad model, but if she doesn’t know what the ceiling is for the rate her clients will tolerate, she will find it out.

The business of being an SP is the ultimate in free market capitalism. The business owner is free to change their prices as they see fit, and the principles of supply and demand work without any regulatory interference. If this particular SP's price increase works for her then other customers are obviously willing to pay higher rates for her services. If it doesn't work for her then she has made a bad business decision and may have to rethink. Never let anyone tell you that being an indy SP isn't work. They are small business women who weigh the forces of the free market every day.

Fully agree with what you wrote. Except I still think it's still not work.

I have been working for nearly 30 years now and I never had a pair of legs behind my ears :ROFLMAO:

If you still "cherish her company" Adjust the time frame of your visits.
Bi-monthly Im assuming is every other month?
If so..then only see her every 3 months or 4 at her new rate.
She gets her rate and you still get to see her...just less frequently.
Its give and take on both sides.

OR

move on to someone in your price range.

I’ve never collected garbage or built houses after 30 years in the workforce either, but that is no doubt hard work.

And if your job was sucking guys and getting fucked by them, you might think it’s work too. 😂

Might be worth considering that just because you have enjoyed having her as your regular, it doesn't mean she has actually enjoyed having you as her regular. She may have raised her rates and deliberately not grandfathered you in because she doesn't actually want you as a client anymore, but also doesn't want the hassle of refusing your booking requests or explaining.

Let's face it - if she doubled her rates and deliberately did not grandfather you in, she obviously doesn't give a shit if you stay as a client or not, 'regular client' status be damned.

Some girls just get tired of certain clients and want to move on. Could be because you've grown too attached, she's bored with your sessions, you are making demands of her she can't/doesn't want to accommodate...tons of reasons SP's fall out of love with their regular clients.

The rate change is sometimes just a means to less than obvious end. And sometimes you just have to take the hint.
This is probably the real answer.

Most providers aren't in this line of work looking for a long term relationship. They in it to make money and go.

Tho it is a nice gesture but it is totally counter-productive for anyone to be grandfathered.

I see she uses the strip club model of economics. As attendance declines, up the rates! Thereby declining attendance further and upping the rates some more!

A basic course in economics would explain why that's a bad idea.

I can understand raising rates because you're too popular and the amount of clients you see is wearing you out, so you set a higher rate and a more acceptable equilibrium is achieved. But raising rates because you're not popular enough is counterproductive.
I bought a lot of $10 lap dances in the 1990's. I never bought one for $20. Only a few women I've ever met are or were '$7 a minute good-looking', and only a few of those worked in strip clubs.

Ask yourself: Would you suck a stranger's dick for $1 Million? A lot of guys would say yes. Would you do it for a dollar? Most guys would say no. If you said yes to #1, your 'market price' is somewhere between those two figures. Some other guy's market price is irrelevant to you; it's not your mouth.

That is why it is easier to take/steal $1 from a million people than $1,000,000 from 1 person. Banks learned this a long, long time ago. User fees.

I've done some $20 lap dances, but have completely steered away from it now. Frankly, the value is rarely there even for $10 dances.

When you start comparing it to other activities you can engage in, like grabbing a really nice dinner, or seeing a few movies with friends, or putting it towards a new bike, or even other services in the same industry, my enthusiasm for lap dances declines substantially. Has saved me a pretty penny! I don't regret spending that money, particularly in my 20s when that club atmosphere hit the spot, and anything with T&A had me pitching a tent. But I aint 23 anymore.

In the mid 90's I was making an additional $2K per month untaxed from a business venture, and I blew a lot of that on vices.

This is Econ 101. She is trying to find the best price to generate maximum revenue. If she has chosen a price point that is too high the then the market will signal that with fewer appointments and lower revenue for her.

Assuming someone raised prices because they have no customers compares to reading with your eyes closed.
Imagine the opposite. Raising prices to filter a high volume of clients to lower volume of clients for possibly the same income.
Grandfathering rates on SP is like expecting to grandfather rates on gasoline :ROFLMAO:
