great looking, very sultry picture of the new companion!

yes, it is feast and famine.  I can imagine this business booming in 99...I might be wrong but that is the beginning of the "bubble" in this business too where rate jump to the $$$ level on the average

I compare escort fees and traffic to starbucks coffee Starbucks raise rate yearly and used all kind of reasons.....like rising price of coffee...while true, anyone familiar with coffee future knows it fluctuates up and down and the price now is lower than it was 3 years...still you will NEVER SEE STARBUCKS LOWER THE PRICE TO MATCH THE LOWER COST OF PRODUCT.  Also, anyone noticed they reduce the size of the cup over  the past 4 years? well if you drink coffee there since 97, you will notice like I did...freaking rediculous but I learn to brew my own instead of paying that price.  Why can they do it...simply economic, perceived premium will get the money.

while the economy and stock market went into a funk from late 2000 thru early 2003, average escort price did not go down, pure economic...those that are in high demand will rise to the top and the rest can still make a living but no more fur coats and BMW afterall, not everyone can make $2k a week tax free.  I met a few top girl making $5k a week and for a life of me wonder where they pissed that money away over the years...damn shame.

And yes plenty of providers make a living to provide for their "family" so don't take my statement as global but you know out there, there are plenty of flaking escorts that have been a business for 4 to 6 years making 15k a month and have barely anything to show for it beside some material goods that don't mean a hell of lot.

Here is one survey that most will like to know...knock of the top 10% of providers as well as the top 10% richest clients and I bet the average providers' earning is higher than the average clients....anyone want to wager?

I met a few providers who confessed they feel like drug dealers taking money from junkies that have no right handing out $$$ to them...Sad but as they put, if I don't take it...some other girls will take it.  The pie is not getting bigger and so take your slice when it is there.

p.s. as far as my analogy of starbucks and escort goes....I learned to brew my own, safe money as well as having it whenever I want it....and looking for love...I met and fell in love with someone out of the business and it is great.  Still read the board for entertainment but my money is better spend with someone that truly care for me as a friend and a nice person.
