I don't remember it being this slow......

I agree on all fronts... personally I've been around for quite awhile(even before I joined here) and while I do agree that price should be expected to increase because of the economy(everyone's gotta eat) I also think that some of the lower quality options have started thinking their visits are worth the same as the high quality providers.. 450 for an hour definitely isn't too much to ask for.... except if you don't provide service that matches... I've had sessions with women that honestly could up their price and I'd say they were still asking too little.. and I've had some sessions with some that I walked out saying "Well I shoulda just stayed home" it feels like the 2nd category has flooded the market a little bit and hurt the market as a whole... That and you are always playing a guessing game now if you are in the mood for trying someone or somewhere new because it's not as easy to get intel. This forum is still around but it used to be one of several resources.. now it's 1 of maybe... 2 and I would bet there are alot of reviews that don't get made because not everyone realizes that they need to take a visit to Connecticut... that and it used to be a lot easier to try things out when Studios weren't just an AMP thing so newer people don't have the easy screening and learning places they once had.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you. I'm simply saying everybody may not feel that way. Depending on looks, personality, menu, a guys income. There's alot of factors that contribute to what each person considers reasonable.

Sometimes I get the impression that "delusion" takes out common sense. I have a hard time believing there are financial issues with car payments, hotels, etc if you're scoring $1600 a day, if the gents are paying $450 each and the girls are seeing their usual they are banking 6-7k weekly. Especially if the response is "They have no issues getting clients. I think the reality is, is there is the want to achieve this "fantasy world" wealth out of thin air for little or no "dream like" service in reponse.

More and more I'm seeing the madness in the prices, I may be a little brash but most of the girls requesting 400+ even attractive just are not worth it. Either because of lackluster service, not attractive, or just plain terrible attitudes.

I think a lot more gents would pay the high claws prices if we were actually getting high class services.

Yes, I don’t get all the guys paying for content when they could easily have a real experience.

Content is too much like going to a restaurant and paying to watch other people eat.

I usually just tell the ladies that I only buy content from ladies. I’ve spent some quality time with . Making some memories.

That’s my motto: Die with memories, not dreams.

Providers should really stop raising rates to makeup for the lack of business they're getting. I'm always so puzzled by other providers rates I've been seeing because I don't understand why they think anyone would pay that to see them this isn't Las Vegas or Miami... My rate has been the same all 8 years I've been a provider and business has never been slow, when everyone else started asking ridiculous rates my phone started blowing up non stop all day every day. Trying to make one client pay you for all the appointments you're not getting is not a good business strategy.

WOW! Diamond you have accurately described the whole problem.
Beauty and Brains is what it takes and to hear it from a provider stating the facts is wonderful.

Thank You

I'm just gonna say, reluctantly and respectfully, that it's largely pricing for me, but that's not always the case (I'm currently considering seeing someone for 400 soon.) I feel like 300/hr is the norm, but I don't mind paying extra if the reviews are stellar. I've largely stuck to AMPs in the past, for convenience though. They take walk-ins, they usually have a table shower, and at least USED to be a little cheaper. Often times, the only time I have to play is on my way home from work, and if I get cold feet last minute, I don't have to worry about canceling with anyone.

Honestly, if I could find a steady provider for 300 or less that would let me use her shower every time (or better yet, shower with me and lather me up), who didn't mind a little wiggle room with scheduling, I'd be a happy camper. I'm trying to avoid the AMPs anyway.

Again though, that's just my two cents. If I had 400+ to spend every time, a lot of y'all deserve it. You are (mostly) goddesses and don't get enough respect!

MJ is correct in that $450 isn't over priced for a Provider of her quality.
Some of the lower level Providers that don't offer the same level experience going from 200 to 400 over night is another.
Higher level Providers provide an experience the others don't.
Thanks for helping to be reminded and come back to clarify what I really ment.

Why do people believe everyone's opinion should be the same as their own? Just because YOU don't think 450 isn't over priced doesn't mean everyone thinks that. It has nothing to do with someone's income, because I make damn good money, it's about what value you place on something. Just because I might drop $1500 on a pew pew doesn't mean you will because you may not place that much value on it, and if you don't it doesn't mean your wrong. It's your opinion, it's your prerogative, who am I to say your wrong? Who are you to say I'm wrong? Who are you to say 450 is a good value and who am I to say it's to much? It's all about how much value YOU place on it. I said it before and I'll say it again, people should start using the phrase, "in my opinion " more often.

405. You have to understand that that’s what these threads are people’s opinions.

The proliferation of OF, Webcams and SB's, it's hitting every market. I've spent the last 7, 8 years with mostly SB's.

Price doesn't bother me... Irresponsible players on both sides bother me. It's too dangerous now for me to hobby knowing what I know about some and how they choose to keep themselves clear of stds... It's a risk I'm just not willing to take anymore. So I stick to the 'safest' options. This is why regulation is needed instead of enforcement. Just my opinion.
