Online ladies and COVID, prices
[QUOTE=RickMann;5756368]I think eventually the online only ladies will vanish and things will return to some kind of normal. Higher rates are here to stay for the most part IMHO.[/QUOTE]I tend to agree. The online ladies were a byproduct of the COVID pandemic, and COVID provided a semi-plausible excuse for that. COVID (fingers crossed) seems to be in its last wave.
As for rates: When I first joined Seeking in 2011, I was getting hot college girls for $200.
What's driving the high prices, IMO, is what's driving the high price of everything: There is a real labor shortage and anyone who wants to make some extra money can get a signing bonus at McDonalds or Kroger.
This decreases the number of women entering the hobby. If you look at the girls on Tryst, almost all of them are still pre-pandemic girls. You've seen the conversations in the other threads about washed-up, over-the-hill providers asking (and in some cases, getting) $400.
Prices will levelize when the labor market levelizes.
I have seen this happen before. At the height of the dotcom boom, circa 2000, very average women were asking for $400. (There was no Seeking then, but there were escort sites.) This was because unemployment was at 3%.
After the implosion of the housing bubble in 2007 to 2009, there was a rush of new girls into the hobby. Seeking also started around this time, and there were a lot of options on the market.
The bottom line is that because of supply and demand conditions, you currently have an imbalance in the marketplace. We may never get back to hot college girls for $200, but prices will at some point stabilize, and even back off.
This is also a good time to take a hiatus, if you've been thinking about taking one. Come back in 6 months or a year and things will probably be better.
Anyone have info on either of these?

ClassyMadame Initial response after approach was basically "give me one good reason why I should talk to you".
