Ryan, Madison, and increasing prices
[QUOTE=EastSideGuy34;5242606]The market is just terrible right now and, for that reason, I've been on the sideline. Can't wait until things return to normal.
My last dream was with Ryann, who I think is great. In my dream, I gave her 200 roses and the next time it was 250. The next post I think I saw 300 and now 350. No thanks.
East.[/QUOTE]Good point, EastSideGuy. (FYI: I'm also on the east side.).
Ryan:
Ryan is definitely not bad. She is under 30. She isn't what I would call a hardbody, but she's not obese, either. She's also been in circulation for a while. Originally with Steve, later as an indie.
Ryan is a solid $200 girl. She won't appeal to the guys looking for bareback with $50 toothless streetwalkers. She won't appeal to the granny-chasers, who will insist that any provider under the age of 40 "doesn't have good skills".
Nor will Ryan appeal to the guys who must have runway models. We don't talk much here about the very high end of the market, but that exists, too.
But for those of us in the middle, Ryan is a good deal at $200.
Ryan, though, is *not* a $350 girl. She's got a somewhat mooshy figure, and, to be blunt, she's been with too many guys to be charging those rates. If I'm going to spend $350, I want a college girl from Seeking.
Madison:
Then there's this girl, Madison. Very similar to Ryan. She's in her mid-20's. Not "barely legal", but not a grandma, either. Not a hardbody, but definitely not fat. No signs of substance abuse.
These are her recent ads. In the first ad (on Slixa) she was charging $450. On the most recent ad (on Tryst) she is asking for $600.

She's not a $600 girl. For $600, I want a flawless 19-year-old. And even then, it had better be the *right* flawless 19-year-old.
*Gentlemen, you are one half of the market*.
I'm not going to give Ryan $350 or Madison $600. Nor am I going to line up behind the granny-chasers, to see middle-age women who have reviews dating back to 2009.
I'm going to vote with my wallet for the time being, by keeping my wallet closed.
I started hobbying in the mid-1990's. I've gotten model-quality girls for $200, and I've seen markets in which 40-something BBWs were asking for $400. The market in the late 1990's, when unemployment was at 3% and the tech boom was in full swing, was very much a seller's market. Between 1998 and 2003, girls could ask for almost any price they wanted. On the other hand, I got some great deals in the aftermath of the 2007 financial crisis. In the mid-2010's, we had both a good overall economy, *and* a good market for hobbyists.
If we don't pay ridiculous prices, the prices will eventually come down. They can ask for any prices they want. But a price only becomes meaningful when someone agrees to pay it.
