Re: baseball, personal choice
This guy is spot on.
This is an interesting discussion and touches on a discussion a few months ago.
* SD is a small market. As such, you will find many more high-priced providers in the big markets - NYC, LA, DC, SF or even CHI. I have also heard directly from a few visiting providers that SD was a little slow relative to what they hoped. It may have just been a coincidence. The good news is that SD is unique in that it clearly is a vacation destination - so even those who don't get as much work still seem to enjoy.
* Quality or Quantity - As a hobbyist, I think you also chose how you want to participate. Some people love the game and just want to see as many games as they can sitting in the cheap seats. Others would rather go to only 1-2 games a year and pay-up for amazing seats. You can't really argue with either view - it is personal preference. Of course there are the select few that can afford season-ticket dugout seats - oh to be them, right? What I do know is you don't want to be the person who is seen as complaining about the price of great seats. We have all seen and heard these people - They are no fun to be around.
* I would actually counter that anyone can see $1000 provider at least once a year if they really wanted to. I would guess nearly everyone wastes $100 a mth on dumb stuff. Its funny how the human brain works - paying $1000 lump-sum is a huge mental hurdle, while most would be a lot more comfortable paying $80/mth to get the same thing. It is just about prioritizing.
* the tough part for any service business is figuring out whether you are getting what you pay for? That is where TER is so helpful. Do you truly get double the benefit of paying double the price? Or half the benefit for half the price?!? I think that is where it really comes down to individual preferences.
* There is a free-market to it, in that women in the business have the ability to raise the price to what makes sense for them. Not only will you find woman that raise their price to have more select clients, but you will find girls that provide discounts or specials if they are in a place where they want some more business.
* One thing that I have been surprised at is that I personally haven't seen many girls that offer discounts for repeating. Maybe that is because that repeat client would be me! But, it just seems like there is so much uncertainty and risk meeting someone new for the first time. Basically, if there is a guy that seems nice and safe, I guess I would have expected more effort to secure more of their hobby budget.

You get what you pay for. Quality comes at a higher price.
I tend to disagree, because under any particular set of constraints (i.e. time) there is only so much you're going to receive in terms of service/enjoyment. Just because I spend $400 for a one hour session instead of $200 doesn't mean I am going to get twice as much pleasure out of it. While I understand that this is your profession and it's your right to try to maximize your income whenever possible, there are other dynamics going on with many American providers, including the care and maintenance of one's ego. I have long submitted that providers in this country don't get into the business merely for the cash income, but do it as a way of reaffirming their own desirability and sense of self-worth. Feeding one's ego can be as important as feeding one's wallet, and there are certainly plenty of narcissistic women out there who view their own self-worth in terms of how much they can get (or CLAIM to get) from their customers, as it feeds their own utility. However, it doesn't necessarily do more for me, the customer. If I pay some woman twice what I normally find is necessary to have an enjoyable session, do I get twice the pleasure out of the experience? Does it give me an erection twice as long/hard as a normal erection? Do I get to cum twice in the same session, or cum twice as much, or have it last twice as long? Do I get 4 titties to play with instead of two? The assumption that my enjoyment will increase linearly with the amount of funds expended seems rather hard to justify based on the empirical evidence. * SD is a small market.

They actually have a SD rate at $500.
That's the equivalent of two one-hour sessions with the hottest K-gals in UTC. Looks like I won't be taking them up on their offer at that rate any time soon...
