Is $300 the norm now days?

[Guest052514-1]

I used to only see the high end ladies and it was good and fun most of the time. Became regular with several of them. I always tipped good. I never believe in price haggling, it makes me feel cheap, but then I notice reviews where other guys get in cheaper. I figure if a girl doesn't give me her best rate then she doesn't value my business. Any way they need to be consistent. I have found several nice pretty girls with great attitudes price reasonable on here and for the most part that's where I go. I will however go for 300 or 400 from time to time if I know it's something special.
The attitude of that's my price and if you don't like it go somewhere else kinda pisses me off. I am in business myself and would never talk like that to a potential customer. I have told them I never made any money being the cheapest guy in town. And it's been my experience that a lot of times on here you don't get what you pay for.

The reason that attitude exist is because this business is unlike any other. You can be one skanky provider and still do fine lol.

Agreed, and it's interesting to me to see such vast differences in the amount of bitching about provider rates from city to city....

Some guys can bitch about rates all they want, but at the end of the day, the majority of ladies aren't going to change their rates because of it.

That woman, that woman!!

Basically Bro you pay what you want to pay. You do have a choice.

Some ladies do run special, just keep and eye out.

I have a price point as a shopper, not because I am some cheap ass, it's just smart. How I get to my price point varies and BTW I don't haggle/bargain. I will ask your rate if I don't know it and if it is beyond what I feel your deemed value in my eyes, I simply say thanks and sorry to have wasted air calling/contacting you ......

Are you listening guys..???
She just told you the absolute fuckin truth.

Bitchin don't do a damn thing.

If you wish to change it...get together with your "friends" and pick a month and only see providers that are in the $150 range...

Betcha it wont take long for prices to "normalize"
It is true that ECC is not the only board in town...but it is one of the highest priced.

But the girls are right...stop bitchin...!!
They dont want to hear it and dont give a shit what you say anyway.

Now, if you actually did something about it...oh...that might rock the world.
DUH.!!

Ok and my point was about quality providers not available providers. As EA said my ATF is doing great because she provides quality service. Anya is very available but read her reviews and you do not get quality. There are some awesome providers here in all price ranges but take some time to see some highly reviewed providers in other areas and ask them about coming here and listen to their responses and you will understand my post. Read some of the complaint threads posted by the guys and you will understand my post.

As others have said, you will pay what you are comfortable paying and see who you like but quality and available are not the same thing.

And don't flame me please. Is just an observation

There are plenty of providers asking 250-300. There are also excellent providers asking 150 or less. (And they're often the same provider. Rates can be very fluid depending on the provider.)

Shop around, cultivate back-channel sources of information, and don't ever fall for "you get what you pay for". I've had great $400/hr sessions, and great $80/hr sessions.

There is a lot of bitching and whining about rates changing over time or in diff cites. In dallas I will charge what is on my show case, If I go lower than that I get too many requests and I get so confused with screening and trying to remember everyone and their handle was and their names. Just about a week ago a guy said I wasnt a good match for him because I couldnt guess who he was via text, he said we exchanged pms a few days before, I pm many ppl all day long every day.
Having that problem at 300 an hr just think if I posted 175 hr, I would pull my hair out trying to screen every one.
In smaller cities I do understand that the median is lower and I offer a discounted rate to equal the flow of requests in dallas.
Some guys bitch about my me having dif rates.


Just curios guys have you ever gotten a pay raise in your job or do you still make the exact same amount as when you first started out?
