Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 So what? You think we are in it for love or something? lol No, but that's a truth that most clients probably don't want rammed down their throats. The fantasy is part of what's being paid for. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scribbles 6031 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 I have to side with Phaedrus here in that I think, as poorly articulated as the discussion was begun, there is nothing inherently wrong with discussing rates. Discussion isn't negotiation. Understanding the economics of this industry can be informative for those who haven't stopped to think about it, or haven't considered all aspects of the topic. Asking why rates are what they are does not *have* to imply that you are suggesting those rates should change. But, articulating the question crudely can do just that. Clients DO have the right to question what they are paying for. They are not guaranteed to be entitled to an answer, and that needs to be accepted. That's because the ladies DO have the right to charge as they see fit; anybody who doesn't think it's understandable that a woman is in charge of defining the price tag she places on sharing her most intimate self with someone else needs to reevaluate more than just what they are doing asking these questions. Simply put, anybody can charge whatever they want for whatever they want, whether it's an intimate encounter, a car, a cauliflower or a cup of pens. That doesn't mean that they should feel entitled to everyone accepting those prices either. If people do, then, by definition, the market has tolerated the price of their commodity. It's been said again and again, choose the provider that fits your budget. It sounds trite, but it's still the most direct answer you'll ever get. The rest is all details that won't change a single thing. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 To me it's simple. If you can't afford a specific encounter move on to one you can r save up for the one you want. Easy peasy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Bardot 99339 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 Can we PLEASE stop comparing SPs to restaurants or retail stores? We're not. We're people offering a service. If you're going to use comparisons, then look at the variance in personal services such as life coaches, personal trainers, or hair dressers -- unregulated personal services. Differences in prices don't necessarily relate to differences in appearances, or services, or whatnot. There are a variety of factors involved in why someone structures their rates the way they do. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malika Fantasy 144625 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 Does the Keg need to justify its prices because McDonalds sells a Happy Meal for under $10 Just saying that's all RG We are not a fucking restaurant. Stop comparing us to it. Some people really love mcdonalds, not because their price because of the juicy burger they get while other prefer the kegs. There is some WELL reviewed SP here that charge between 180-400/hr and some of them have dozen of pages of reviews. It doesn't make the lower end rates less worth it or less "upscale" than the ladies that charge 400 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
