Didn't mean to ruffle feathers
Again, I didn't write my original post to try to offend anyone. I was just stunned when I read that someone considered $$ "steep." Again, it's on the L'ville escorts reports board. I'm not arrogant, nor am I wealthy. I'm not a native Hoosier, which really doesn't mean much I guess. I don't live paycheck to paycheck, either. I guess it's startling to me that us hobbyists actually try to "negotiate" when it comes to this thing. When we stop and think about what's being negotiated, it's kind of ludicrous. I'm not a fan of BP because I read about more horror stories about that site. But because of this notion that $$ is considered steep by some, er, by many I guess, it enables BP and some of the providers who advertise on there to exist and even prosper in some ways. Why would we try to play the "game" with a site that, in my opinion on what I've read and heard, advertises or promotes providers who basically are trying to scam hobbyists? I'd say 6 out of every 10 ads, again based on what I've read on message boards like these, feature either phony pictures or are posted by providers trying to scam (what usually results in a cash and dash) hobbyists. That's what I mean by devaluing or taking the "class" out of the game. Most of the providers have lowered rates to try to create more biz and that's fine, and most don't have time or money to market themselves with an extravagant Web site featuring pics of themselves wearing sexy lingerie or, in some cases, nothing at all. I'm more than pleased with the providers I've seen recently. I just feel that, based on what true FS providers do to make us hobbyists relax and help relieve the tensions that go along with stressful jobs and the day-to-day tumultuous anarchy that life has to offer, $$ is more than fair. But hey, what do I know? I'm supposed to know computers pretty well and it still takes me several times to log on to this Web site. Ha!

[QUOTE=B Beall; 1172325]Did Uncle Cletus claim that every provider is worth $$? Did I? Nobody disputes that some aren't. The point was about objecting to $$ as the going rate, period, regardless of who's asking. We just went through this, and it was made abundantly clear that most guys who patronize escorts are happy to pay that and more to a good one. For those who want cut-rate services there's a Backpage and a Streetwalker board.
We live in a meritocracy now? I guess I slept through it. Last I knew people with no musical training and marginal talent were winning teevee contests and signing multi-million dollar contracts, while classically-trained musicians work for scale. And people earn hundreds of millions for throwing a ball, while artists starve. That's an absurd comparison; if no escort was worth $$, no escort would be charging $$. And like most guys, I'd rather be screwed by a good courtesan than a great lawyer any day.
If you want cut rate services, go find 'them. Don't complain that everybody else doesn't. [/QUOTE]
I think this is raw free enterprise and a scarcely available commodity

BFDeal (formerly UC)[/QUOTE]Oh sure it is available everywhere but not in the quantity to meet the demands; hence, the price that is offered and agreed to might seem higher than what some would hope to pay, or be able to appreciate. Also the fact that it is an unregulated industry, not to mention illegal, drives the price higher than what would be required if it was open, regulated and legal. So the bottom line is, no one is forced to participate or pay anything that they deem exhorbitant. So cut your best deal and go with it. Obviously those of us that regularly participate with the well reviewed ladies must see value there or else they wouldn't be able to charge that.
Everyone wants to drive a Porsche (or Mercedes, or you fill in the _______ blank) , but there is a reason why the sub compact models outsell the luxury model 10 to 1. The Champagne taste and the Beer budget has been around since the inception of free markets, but a lot of Champagne is still sold, and enjoyed highly by some / many.
I think I will have another glass or two of Dom Perignon.

If all someone wants is an anonymous blowjob, or twenty minutes of sexual release, then $$ is no doubt an extravagance. Similarly, if someone thinks talking a hungry woman into a sub-$ half-hour proves something about pricing he is at the very least assuming that he gets the same experience with a quickie that someone else gets over 2-3 hours or more. I think there are any number of experienced hobbyists here who'll say that extra time, extra consideration, the trip to Sybaris, the nice tip, or a good dinner, pays off a lot more than saving fifty bucks does.
Hey, to each his own. All I can say from my own experience, and that of like-minded hobbyists, anyone who thinks he's nickel and diming his way to the best service available is fooling himself.
