Rates are The Constant Inconsistency
A discussion about rates is just a discussion that has no conclusion. The only constant about rates is that like a lot of things in life we all think the price should be cheaper.
Not sure how long you have been doing this but when I first started my hobby life 24 years ago $150 an hour was the norm for a stable, sexy lady. None of them did Half Hours let alone Quick Visits because they respected themselves and put a real value on what they did.
I'm not an economist, but I found an inflation calculator on the Web and it said with a 3% inflation rate my $150 lady should be getting $300 now, that's just to keep pace.
The Heroin / Drug plague has brought a large number of addicts into the hobby. Most are just SWs who have cell phones and can figure out how to place an ad on an Adult Ad site. These are the same women who used to do car date BBFS for $30. I wouldn't pay most of them $30 to fuck them with your d#*k let alone mine. This has been acerbated by FOSTA.
You say the girls need a reality check and we should boycott them. I say you need a reality check. Your attitude about wanting "top shelf" pussy for "bar well" prices is unrealistic. It's been said many times on this site that "you can't walk in Ruby's and get a steak at Longhorn prices. " If you want $100 pussy, just see a woman for a half hour. You can't get hobbyists to boycott women because the majority won't give up getting sumptin-sumptin for the length of time it would take to make the women be hurt by a boycott.
One last point, you mention Steve and his EE girls and that they aren't worth $120/200 per appointment. Keep in mind that these women aren't paid that. Steve has to be compensated for what he does for them and for the risk he takes as their front man. He often has ladies for less if you are a USASG Senior, so be happy he gives a discount to us.
Thanks to all who have read this diatribe, but like I said at the beginning a discussion about rates is just a discussion that has no conclusion.
[QUOTE=Cincy2015;4289106]This is not the forum section for this but I wanted many mongers to see it as possible. Although I know it would be very difficult to follow through but I think this hobby community need to come together and boycott paying these prices. Almost every provider is asking 200 an HR and we continue to accept it and pay that. It's bad. The quality of choices and attractiveness are way lower than they used to be. We shouldn't have to pay 250 for a legit 4/5 star dream. These girls need a reality check In my opinion. Almost nobody worth seeing is in the 100/150 anymore these days. We should come together and refuse to pay the current amounts. Like EE for example. They have always been good to me and I go with them more than anyone else but some of these girls are 120/200 and not worth it at all. We are soley being charged for a nice body and decent face with low quality service. Am I crazy or do I have a point.[/QUOTE]
