Which is much like a provider telling you: only eat ramen noodles this month, use public transportation to get to work and take on a second job so you can afford to see her 5 times this month rather than 3.
So, if a provider told you that and expected that you'd do it, just exactly how would you feel about her????

I think you're making a shitload of inferences which is not what I said. What I said was that the regulars are yielding market share to the shiny new ladies at their own expense and detriment. Also, the the higher rates forfeit visits that they just might have had otherwise. The higher the price the more shiny new models appear they have to compete with. It has nothing to do with me but I have no urge to run out here and be on the buying end of an escalating market, if you want to do that good for you. So when you buy that next new car, just slip that salesman another 250 because you need to fulfill your philanthropic mindset.
I used to see this happening in the real business world. Newbies are trained by the old pros and then released once the newbies are trained. What market forces are being applied to allow this? The newbies generally are more malleable, offer more longevity, are easy to dispose of without drama, can be very short term, but as a package they are substantially cheaper. In this LUXURY market, the new girls offer the thrill of a new model, and a quest into the unknown which is a huge market advantage for the short term. So the newbies introduce at a rate they consider on par with winning the lottery because the pros are at that rate because if a newbie can charge that, well hell so can I, and it's essentially a perpetual circle jerk. What happens after that? Prices continue you to rise and you're slipping 250 into the pocket of the Toyota salesman. It seems that no one here considers why an Indian from New Delhi replaces a tried an true long term employee in the real business world. Better yet, what actually occurred to allow it . Hint: it has something to do with money.
View your scenario from the other goalpost (the lady) and change a few parameters. Which would you rather have 5 visits at 250 or 3 at 300? Over a year that's what 4200? I'm somewhat sure that a lady can pay her operating costs very easily with this approach and at the end of the month be vastly ahead in the profit realm. There are a few examples of this without naming names to reinforce my conjecture. This scenario does not include intangible visits that may have occurred with a higher probability of happening at the 250 rate. No, this is not hooker math....it's just plain old business sense.
