Rates? WTF?

Yep, with the quality of providers they have here, even 200/hr is a stretch. No Bueno.

That's true. Most of us didn't partake coz the screening requirements include telling u where we work, and privacy once out of the bag, cannot be put back in, I for one prefer to keep certain info out of the hobby world. I have curtailed my hobbying coz of he market. I haven't been hobbling since I'd say, it's been several months and unless something changes, my drought period is gonna get longer. Remember, adult industry tends to be recession proof. Demand supply curves control prices, that is why even in an up economy, some charge higher prices and still make money. Keep to ur price level, don't complain about other rates, hobby and have fun.

OP,

I am definitely one of the hobbyists on here who knows there are plenty of tards that are just bargain shopping for pussy. That said, I can also agree in that I have viewed some providers showcases on here that right out of the gate their rate is $300, $350+ they have very few reviews and / or they operate out of some shitty notel which is not something I feel deems $300+ p/h...I personally don't want to fuck some girl at some nasty ass notel - especially at $300+

It appears that the "average" p/hr rate is $300 ....or that is rate that most providers strive to keep.

Iquit....my donation is probably too low for my menu and rep...but I have a great group of repeats in every city I visit so when I tour I do quite well..and even add in a few new friends!

I may not make 100,000 or 150,000 a year anymore ....but I still live VERY nicely at an income of slightly above 50,000 depending on how long a tour is.

I think their is a price point here for EVERY hobbyist...so research and play accordingly....and have fun!!

^^ Very true...and remember that whatever a provider makes is 100% TAX FREE....

The smart ones file returns and stay honest with the revenuers.

My take on all of this is they can charge what they like and we can pay for what we think has value to us. If anyone doesn't, they're fools.

Rachellina from Miami was here last week. $250, hot as hell, swallows, 4 star Galleria hotel.

Pretty, young Agency gal, $160-$180 in a nice, safe apartment.

Or a $300 to $350 local Indy gal in a nasty Mr. Patels Place or a Ghetto apartment. Some even expect you to pay for the Notel room.

Not a tough decision for me to make.

I fall into that category. If I had more than one appointment per day I could see getting a nicer room. But for one appointment spending $120-$140 on a real hotel doesn't make sense. Also you can't just walk into a reputable establishment at 9am and rent a room.

Now you may say that if my rate was lower then I would have more than one appointment per day. That is probably true but I don't want to be that busy. I am very happy being low volume at three or four appointments a week.

My incall has always been clean the half a dozen times I've been. Nothing fancy but all I need for an hour is clean sheets, clean towels, hot water, and soap. I have always felt safe there during the day, I do not visit my incall at night.


Okay, I am ready for all the belittling that seems to come when someone is brave enough to post a response of an opposing view. So go ahead and shoot!

There is something for everyone on here ..... and off here.

[DallasRain]

my theory on incalls....why the hell pay for a 2 star or lower when you can get a nice 3 star or better for just as much & sometimes lower price!

I can rent Harrahs in KC which is VERY nice for $49 ! And in Houston I once stayed at the Indigo Galleria for $40 a nite! And I even got a 4 star with jacuzzi tub on Priceline for $50!

Besides,I am an "old chicl" so I prefer a nice comfy "bug free" bed!!!! LOL

A certain Lady that recently left this site still has a Showcase on P411 and raised her her already GPS rate by 50%.

Please explain why fewer available Hobby funds = Increased rates for Providers. When the Feds want to stimulate the economy, they lower interest rates, not raise them.

How about you just find you a whore you can afford and stop bitching... Not everyones clients are in oil & gas...

Gas is $1.35 you are saving on gas so you can afford a HDH

I generally agree with that, I typically pay what's asked, if I can afford. Without exception, all the women I see regularly offer a frequent fucker perk, even though I'm not in oil and gas. I suppose it's just best practice to offer someone who invests heavily in their business a bit of a concession.

Interesting discussion (and discourse) above, inasmuch as it may help some folks make informed decisions.

imo, as one of those hobbyists who is here mostly for the companionship, plus the communications, chemistry and, of course, the copulation, the most cogent advice I can give is

WALDT (we all like different things)

which pretty much covers both the gents and the ladies.

imo, the hobby is not just about sex, but for those who believe it is, well, it is.
