I miss it because it seemed like more people could afford to see escorts.
When I started, $150-160/h was the average and what I used to charged. When I changed my rates to $200/h I was told that it was too expensive as most agencies back then would have been at $160/h.
It was $120 for 30 mins and $160/h when I started, most of my friends were charging that too. The more expensive ones were asking $180-200
'When I started, $150-160/h' Would it be ungentlemanly for me to inquire how many years ago that was ? You sound like me talking about food cost over the last 10 years (and my salary hasn't doubled).
Out of curiosity, I visited your Lena Cartier link in your signature at the bottom of the post. Not what I expected for someone once available for ~ $150/hr. You are young, very beautiful and obviously very cultured.
I am a little pissed at myself that a short time ago (5 years?) I could lived an exotic fantasy for only $150.
(This is probably a good thing. I'm likely to pledge eternal love and then handcuff myself to your bed.)
