DukeSSk 3430 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 This also probably happening in most large European cities too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 It has been happening in a LOT of cities. I can only imagine that in Greece and in Spain that the quality established providers are being forced to drop prices just to compete with the influx of young women that can't find employment in any other line of work. "Transient" providers not only drive prices down, but also adversely affect the perception of some newer clients on the expectations of a quality experience.

Miss S. Lane 67128 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 OD, what you just described about "transient" workers happens HERE! I am sure in other parts of the country too, but speaking for St. John's... "Local" girls have a bad rep... And it's difficult being an upscale companion among a market of unsure clients. I refuse to price drop and believe the quality time I provide sells itself, but it isn't easy. Sorry to hijack!!! Xoxo, Savannah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 No threadjack taken... it's a great point. Bad economies really hurt the industry in a lot of ways. Less spending power by the clientele and "give it a try" providers who have NO idea what it means to do what needs to be done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
