You guys really pay that much?

[rhuarc29]

I don’t think any sp is over-rating herself if she is able to generate business at her chosen rate. It’s simply a matter of what the market will bear.

I'm a free market guy myself, but I'm not talking about where an SP should set her rate to generate maximum revenue. I'm talking about the perceived value of the session from the client side.

I think perhaps sometimes these conversations get nasty because people confuse an SP’s rate with her value or worth as a person. These are two entirely different things imho.

No one should ever confuse an SP's rate with her worth as a person. Those are (almost) entirely separate issues. Who she is as a person will, of course, partially leak into her value as an SP, but other factors play a much more important role. Just like with any service provider. The guy who did the drywall in my house was a bit of an arrogant dick, but he did fantastic work and that's what I paid him for.

I think this discussion turns nasty because of two reasons. From the client side, the client feels disrespected that they're being asked for so much money for just one hour of the agreed upon services (which is a very high rate for entertainment). SPs should keep in mind that many clients have to put in many more hours of hard work to earn that much after taxes to pay for a session. From the SP's side, there are expenses and drawbacks that clients don't see and so don't factor into their idea of what a proper rate should be. Clients should keep that in mind before judging.

However, for me, it has never been about judging an SP's character in setting her rate. It's merely the question of "is this worth it to me". If it's not, I don't book. If it is, I do. Seems straightforward to me.

I started a somewhat similar thread about a month ago.
Somebody accused me of being part of a problem where the same discussion about rates is brought up on a monthly basis. Maybe it is a regular occurrence.
Pretty much the same arguments here, where people who don't want any discussion about rates call the others whiners and cheapos and tell them to mind their own business.

I don't see any problem with having the discussion.

I totally agree with you nothing wrong in discussing this issue after all it is an Escort Review Board.
Unfortunately when an SP chimes in and tells others "To stay in their lane" or "mind their own business" then head to twitter to get re confirmation of their self righteousness by their lapdogs these threads quickly get derailed. And it's usually the same few SP's who do this.

This is why Twitter is a great tool for screening. It's obvious from the twitter banter who will provide a WE (wife experience) . I get a kick out of reading the comments of the lapdogs who probably end up being possessive hostile clients in person or never really book an appointment , instead try to befriend the provider just to chitchat.

Even if people confuse the SP rate with her self worth, is it really a bad thing?

Burger flipper $14/hr
Average wage in Canada $28/hr
Average SP rate $220/hr

The average SP is in the top 1% of wage earners. Isn't that a good thing?

N.B. I realize there are huge differences is what people do to earn a living, hence the price difference. In a capitalistic society that we live in, goods/services are priced near their relative value. We may want a difference price, but ultimately the market decides.

 

[Jasmine Raine]

To clarify. I have no issues with open discussion. Finding out what goes into the process of determining rates. There is a lot more to the thought processes then some think.

I'm just against a bitchy thread. It is really unbecoming to see men whining when as stated, these guys either can't afford or never have any intention of booking.

Those who are mature and choose not to book at certain rates, or men who can't afford but respect the right of the lady to choose, are the ones who make a discussion worth having.

This thread has a few on both sides and I don't bring Terb to Twitter. Just titty pics.

 

[TFZL1]

The good thing about discussions here and on twitter is it lets personality shine through.
I find smart and funny attractive. I book and enjoy ladies who are sweet and sassy. If I wanted to be bitched at I would’ve stayed married. Some escorts are special and worth the price. And I don’t care if some guys can’t understand paying a premium for value added service.

 

[squeezer]

. And I don’t care if some guys can’t understand paying a premium for value added service.

What do you consider in the world of escorts a value-added service to be?

Let us say $250/hr is the price we all know a good GFE with a decent looking young lady can be had with minimal hassle.

Now, what is the added benefit expected and perceived when one decides to pay more?

Low volume,
special attention,
extra services besides dfk, bbbj, fs, daty,
going a bit over the clock,
being able to text the provider for a chitchat every now and then,
simply because one can ??

I'm not trying to put you on the spot TFZ and anyone is welcomed to chime in, including the ladies. I'm just curious why some venture out and pay $350, 400 and higher?

You're expecting an answer to something that may be different for every person. That's why threads like this are pointless. SP's are NOT a fungible commodity. Every one is different as are we clients. I've paid $400 and higher and had a great time. I've paid $200 and had a great time. And I've had a mediocre time at every price point too. There is NO one answer. This is a totally YMMV activity.

If you read squeezer's question again, I think that is exactly what he is expecting, different answers from different people...

Your ATF is sour grape material to those who say there is
no correlation between price and services.

This is not me, but some people make a lot of money, inherit a lot of money. What is 400 to someone that fits in those categories? It's hard to understand from a blue collar perspective but some people don't give a shit how much they spend because they can afford it and the cost doesn't bother them a bit. Big difference being a $60K year pooner vs 150k+ pooner. I really can't imagine some of the shit the rich guys can experience from their big wad of cash. Envious.

 

[The "Bone" Ranger]

Reading all the additional responses here it becomes clearly evident that some SPs just can't stand the fact that there are other SPs that charge less than them for an experience as good as theirs (or possibly superior) and there are a bunch of dudes here who are trying to justify to themselves why they pay the obscenely higher rates.

 

[explorerzip]

There should almost be a sticky for this type of thread so that it doesn't keep repeating itself.

If it's all about getting the cheapest release - go to an AMP.

Exactly. Put a sticky at the top of the Lounge that every new guy and old timer can complain, comment, discuss, or whatever about how rates in this industry should be, could be, have to be.

And the absolute cheapest release out there is the one you give yourself.

Gentleman, have fun but try to put at least 10% of your earnings into savings or investments.

To me this is my opinion on this thread. All people are selfish in general, or only care about self interest is a better term . All woman want to make the most money possible. They want to become popular and increase rates which is exactly what they should do. To me this thread is all about the more well off men vs the poorer men (me included). The rich men the price does not matter, they will put the ladies on a pedestal, give amazing reviews and pay high rates. For the rest we want to keep the price as low as possible and keep repeating. I have reviewed ladies on another account and am guilty of only giving negative reviews and withholding the good ones . A lot of ladies complain about only seeing negative reviews on these type of sites. You have got to realize a lot of men are selfish and want to keep the best ladies to themselves. They will not give a positive review in hopes she does not become popular and increase her rates.

 

[Grist]

At my age, having the good fortune of getting naked with a beautiful woman for an hour, is a real privilege. I don’t care what it costs.

 

[kherg007]

that is patently untrue. in my personal experience, i've only ever received positive reviews. and i think the positive reviews on this site outnumber the bad ones at least 3:1 if not higher. lots of men are happy to spread the good word. i agree self-interest drives everything we do, but i honestly think bragging rights and wanting to please the women who pleased them are stronger motivators than the vague possibility of driving up her rates.

Yes, if you truly appreciate the woman and how she made you feel you have to go against your normal politeness/classy instincts and let others know. In real life it is the cad who goes on about how he had sex with a particular woman,one of the worst things you can do. But in this world it is the opposite...going on about her excellence is the best thing you can do....
