Yes but even with agency taking 50% they still are making out great
As I noted earlier, even a $300/ hr agency girl whose agency takes a 50% cut will make $150,000 a year if she only sees 4 clients a day 5 days a week. $150 x 4 = 600. $600 x 5 = $3000. $3000 x 50 = $150,000.
And I get that escorting isn't easy, but in the above scenario the escort is workin glow volume and still making extremely good money. Just to extend the above example again, if that escort goes independent and still charges $300 and still goes low volume seeing the same amount of clients she now makes $300,000 a year. I want to make sure all guys see that here. There is no reason for 90% of escorts to be charging more than that. So people here know, that is about $50,000 to $75,000 more than your average doctor in NYC makes.
The good news is, with de facto legalization, there will probably be a lot of downward pressure on prices. It just may take a little time.
One finally note for the guys here regarding $1000 and higher an hour escorts. You can wake up on Saturday, fly to Toronto or Montreal, stay in a four star hotel, book two one hour sessions with really cute and good service escorts in either of those locations, eat meals Saturday and Sunday in restaurants in those cities for around $1000. That is how screwed up the pricing is here.
[QUOTE=UCIndieAgent;5526894]First to set this straight- most agencies in NYC take a 50% cut, so at $300/ hr, a girl is making $50. Agency girls also usually pay for their own travel, toiletries, (emergency) contraception, and sexual health needs. I totally agree with you that agencies shouldn't charge the same as the average independent bc generally the service is not as good. Do not expect an independent escort service when paying agency rates.
I like your comparison and would like to expand on it some: There are days when I'm in the mood for cheap fast food so I get a $2 burger from wherever. It's fine, I just want to fill up and don't really care if it's not that good bc that wasn't what I was going for. There are other days where I have some extra money and treat myself to a fancy meal from a more upscale restaurant. Just because I ate at McDonald's Tuesday doesn't make me poor or cheap. Just because I ate at La Grenouille on Wednesday doesn't mean I am rich or that I was ripped off. I like that there is a range of options and depending on my mood and finances, I can make that call. The two are not mutually exclusive and both will always have patrons. Likewise, if a client wants a quick and cheap service with whoever without breaking the bank, cool go for it. If that same client wants to save up and budget for an expensive independent provider, good for both of them.
In my experience, when I raised my rates I found I was pulling more clients who saw escorts as a special treat. Maybe they visit less frequently than an agency client, but their intentions and expectations are totally different (same with choosing a meal). When I was with agencies, I found the client experience to feel more like I was trying to satiate their entitlement and price match with girls who I had nothing in common with.
One comparison I make sometimes is that escorts can almost be likened to getting a tattoo. I could spend $50 for my friends uncle to tattoo me in his basement with a homemade machine. Or I can save my money, research artists, and drop a couple hundred bucks on something I won't regret. Who's the sucker now? I mean, at the end of the day they are both tattoos, right?
Furthermore, when I see an independent escort charging upwards of $1000/ hr, I don't see that as a threat to my worth since I charge less. In fact, I'm happy for anyone who can make that work. Similarly, clients who pay those prices aren't really a threat as an agency could never compete with that.
Contrary to popular belief, escorting is not easy and most people are not cut out for it. One little mistake could mean the risks far outweigh the reward. Not to mention, everything is slightly pricier in Manhattan. And if you are so upset that the industry as a whole as seen an price increase. No one is making you book appts. If you consider "mongering" a "hobby," you clearly are not broke.[/QUOTE]
There's a flip side to that coin
You want to charge absurd rates that's fine but you have to live up to the service otherwise it's a rip off.
Charging $600 or more entails automatically that the provider includes BBBJ, GFE, and two pops unless they're a pornstar as they'd be selling the "pornstar" celebrity factor.
If you don't offer those services then you shouldn't be above $250/ hr MAX plain and simple.
Looks are subjective, prices are based on service, and increase in price entails an increase in performance and service extras.
Otherwise the massive boycotting of the rip offs will continue and overpriced rip off escorts will not make any bread.
It's time for prices to go BACK to pre 2018 prices when the business was better, enough of the games.
Rip offs are dangerous for the industry not just for the client getting ripped off but the providers as they don't know which nutcase they could be dealing with.
You rip me off?
I'll walk away and pray to Christ almighty you enjoy the money and change as a person, I hold no bitterness.
I got ripped off 300 I walked away no problem.
Others?
You never know, especially with the amount of lunatic clients and incidents happening over the last year.
Then you have others not so crazy but won't let someone get away with that.
You won't find many nice guys like me.
We need better rates and services, more independents so we can have great experiences for client and providers with no trafficking, no rip offs, no incidents and even enjoyable experiences for both parties.

They care enough about themselves
[QUOTE=Nsugen;5529783]To be fair, a lot of doctors / nurses don't give a fuck who their patients are too. I know quite a few of them. They do their job because it's just that, a job. As you go through life, you're going to realize that most people don't give much a fuck about you, regardless of profession.[/QUOTE]Yah I could care less if a succor card about me or not. I work in the medical field. I can't expect a doctor to care about me as an individual when they have like 300 plus other patients in the low end. At least with health care professionals they care about their licenses enough not to eff me up. Plus with everyone quick to sue nowadays they make sure they are extra efficient in their crafts. That's enough for me. Mind you in a healthcare professional that don't give 2 craps about my patients as individuals so I can relate. I'll do my job like you mentioned but am I really going to feel sad if I have to tell you that you have terminal cancer? I would care if you were a pediatric patient with their whole life ahead of you but yall adults. We all got to die one day. Either way is still on another spectrum compared to sex workers.
Yes, it seems like a lot to me seeing how it's 20 hours a week
And if we are going to go there, there are a lot of people out there that have all kinds of shitty, soul destroying jobs who slave away for 40 hours a week or more and make 1/3 to 1/2 of that money and have shitty lives on top of it because they are broke because their wage is shit.
150 K puts them easily in the top 5-10% of wage earners in the city. NYC is one of the few places that is like this. In most places the average wage an escort would make if they saw 20 guys per week would put them much closer to the average wage for that area. Perhaps they would be in the 68th percentile, not 90-95th percentile. And let's not forget, we're talking $300/ hr agency escorts where the escort gets half. Let's not kid ourselves by saying that's the majority of what we are seeing. Most escorts now are indys charging $600 and up per hour. If they see 20 guys a week they make $600,000 a year. That is in the top one tenth of one percent of wage earners in the city. What kind of shit is that?
[QUOTE=Garretts1965;5529363]Banging 1000 guys a year and making $150 k seems like a lot to you? Do you have any idea what these women deal with?[/QUOTE]
Isabel isn't an escort, she is an experience!
[URL]https://tryst.link/escort/isabelnyc-protonmail-com[/URL]
I first saw posts about Isabel 10-15 years ago. One way or another, I never ended up seeing her even though I was going to several times. Anyway, I called her up this weekend and made an appointment. She had been napping and needed time to get ready. When I was close by, she texted me that she was delayed. Long story short, the delay extended to 45 minutes to an hour, with her keeping me informed and apologizing.
I get there and am greeted by a really cute girl next door type brunette. She told me she was going to give me extra time for the delay and then she grabbed me and started dfk me. We disrobed and she gave me a vigorous bbj and then we made our way to the bedroom. All I can say is, this lady loves sex. I have a new definition for what is a 10 on a scale of 1-10 for enthusiasm and passion, and Isabel is that 10. She wants the sex more than I do, more than anyone I have met and it is clearly not an act. We absolutely pounded each other out, kissed like long lost lovers, and just kept going like the world was going to end and this was the last fuck of our lives. Finally I asked for a bbj finish and it was cimnqns. When we looked at the time, two hours had passed. We railed the shit out of each other for two hours and never came up for air. Isabel laughed and said, wow, I meant to give you SOME extra time but wow it just flew by. I said I understood if she didn't want to take more time to give me a massage that she promised but she said I am not letting you get out of here without massaging you thoroughly and she did.
She only charged me for the one hour and I tipped $100 as it was the least I could do. You all know from my posts that I don't like to overpay for this stuff but I got Isabel for 2 hrs and 15 min with the massage and a $100 tip to take it from $400 to $500 was only fair.
I feel like an idiot for not seeing her sooner. That was probably the best adult experience of my life. I can't remember a better one for sure. All the service, contact and pricing details are in the tryst link.
