why do girls nowadays charge so little?

Really?  I wish the rates were low.  Where can one find these magic low rates, besides Backpage?

You must think that the economy is great and that every client has won the lottery.  I wish that were the case.  I'd hobby more often.

BTW - the hobby is a luxury, not a necessity.  Your advice to raise rates is genius.  Let us know how it works out for you.

Economy is still bad.  still lots of people who is unemployed.  you have to lower the price a little if you want work and be paid.  guys usually just wack off if they can't afford the ladies so it makes sense to lower the price some and have appointments.

So... Chicago has always been the Go to spot, but sadly over the past year and especially the past few weeks it has been HOrrible.. Is it just me? Or is every body cheap and rude now?? I hope it's a faze , ladies have y'all ran into the same problem?? and why do girls nowadays charge so little??? Don't they realize if the going rate is high that the guys have no choice but to pay the going rate?? It's like they expect street prices on the Internet. I need answers lol

I suspect the bad economy may also have caused more women to turn to providing as a source of income.  In theory, this would serve to increase supply and tend to keep prices lower.

However, I've been looking at other cities occasionally, and with the possible exception of the higher priced ladies and New York, I'm not sure the trends in Chicago are particularly different.

I can't really tell for sure from your post if you are a provider or a hobbyist.

Finally, I would suggest that the individual ladies have a better feel for their own markets, pricing, etc, than either you or I do.  Some that I have met are very sharp small business women.  They are all less concerned with the market as a whole than with how they can set and structure their own pricing to make moe mone now and in the future.  They know when their phones ( or emails) ring and when they don't.

BTW, reading your posts reminds me of some stuff I read long ago on the origins o labor unions.

Why are you complaining?

It sounds like you're whining Encoreent You should be happy that you are getting amazing women for such a wonderful discount (bad economy, bad economy, and again bad economy comes in to play) If you want to see every 1K/hr to 2K/hr girl - go for it! You obviously have more money than the 90% of most guys who can just afford a 400-600 girl and with that, you most likely will get a better performance then  the plethora of centerfolds and porn stars that charge ridiculous amounts for what you can get with certain dark horses in the industry. Do your research and you will find fabulous women that will double the time frame by keeping her rates down and get more traffic. Good luck!

Whaaaaaat?!..

Most ladies charge $$$-$$$$ an HOUR!

I don't get your logic, and quite honestly, you're way off with whatever point you're trying to make. Nobody lives in a fantasy world.

Your post is very strange

It's so poorly constructed, that your point(if there is one) is lost in the mess. Most providers in Chicago are now $$$+ and that is more than enough, especially in this economy. It is going to take several years before the money flows as it did a few years back, the economy needs to recover and unemployment needs to decrease. Do you even live in America? WTF

With all due respect to "Encoreent" [whose writing at times verges on the "incoherent"], I have to agree with other posters who disagree about low provider rates in Chicago.  My hunch is that bargain rates only signal bait-and-switch, upsell situations and other tiresome rip-offs

Not only is Chicago more costly —particularly in terms of value for money— than many other major cities, but law enforcement concerns are greater, leading to complications and hassles for the, um, customer.  

I'm sure that there are those who will insist that all these innovations are necessary, but when I lived on the West Coast, there was never any need for "verification" and all the related skulduggery and subterfuge  we know so well here.  The 2-call system was essentially all that was required.

But I would not be surprised to hear from some that we are living in a perfect world except for the fact that  prices are not high enough.

Sounds like an agency handle. That's the first thing that hit my mind after reading the post.
