I Disagree. In this business it is the opposite I have found.

Curious what the ladies think the difference is between a provider that charges $500 an hour vs. $1000 an hour. I can guess what the guys will say but what say you ladies? Is it strictly looks, experience, certain services? I think guys go into it assuming they'll get double their money's worth if they pay double but it's been my experience that that is rarely the case.

Someone who charges 500 vs 1000 is going to be pretty much the same. Highly educated, classy, nice incall, and experience. The one who charges 1000 is probably just must more selective with who she sees and doesn't need the money as much. That's just my opinion. I don't know how high the demand is for a 1000 an hr provider in NYC and I'm not a hobbyist so I don't have experiences to compare.

In my experience, the higher priced providers that I frequent are more likely to advertise a deeper companionship (non-sexual) experience, and they consistently deliver on that.  For that, it helps to be highly educated because you can talk about a broader range of subjects and you may actually have learned some psychology along the way to know some common ways of forging a bond, but many people acquire the latter gift through life experience alone, and being a friendly, inquisitive, caring person can take the place of any education.

Classy is subjective.  Some high priced providers are Prada head to toe and speak with a posh accent, but some are pretty punk and some are sporting nothing fancier than the Gap.  The outfit should match the interests; it's a letdown to wear Gucci if when I mention Paris, you ask if I'm talking about your cousin's girlfriend.

You don't have to have an incall - I think most at that price tag don't have an incall, because if the client can pay $1,500 (because most at that level don't do one hour), they can afford a few hundred more for the hotel room.

What I absolutely expect from someone charging a very high rate is a very high degree of professionalism, which should come with experience.  Always communicate well before the meeting, bring your supplies, be clean, don't wear a scent, don't wear makeup that can rub off, be on time, don't look at your phone or watch constantly, be eager and excited to see me, and most important, deliver on the experience you advertise.

I have not found a great correlation between the quality of the sex and the donation.  I am sure there are providers who charge a higher rate based on their purported sexual skills.

I think the higher cost is worth it.  I'm doing some wilder stuff out of bed with these providers than I am in bed.  I have a pretty good life without this, but some of the things I've done are completely new, mind-expanding experiences.

I think you're right about the higher priced provider being more selective; I don't know that they don't need the money as much, but they can make the same amount in half the time.  How do they get business at those rates?  For me, you've got to have consistent, very strong reviews and have a compelling website/social media profile, and this is important especially if you don't have a long track record, it helps if you appear to be in a social circle with other high price providers.  It's a stamp of approval if you're hanging out with a well-established crew.

But you, Chloe, I can speak to experience (just this past Monday, for instance), you could double your rate, as good as you are--just grandfather me in!

what sort of wild things are you doing out of bed?

This applies to regular non-sex businesses. People who have a strong network and access to the rich elite are able to charge a premium for their services and get a high rate consistently. People who have talent and abilities but lack a strong network have to charge less, although they form a solid base of the mid-range 6 figure/high 5 figure professional bracket in today's economy.

The $1,000 per hr escort has rich friends and a solid network whereas the average $500 per hour escort with good reviews and a reputation is isolated from the circle of elite that can afford to pay more on a regular basis. An escort who is not connected with the rich will have to post billboard ads and be highly visible online (videos, reviews, porn, etc) which is something that many providers shy away from because they have regular non-sex work ambitions.

It's a balancing act between being visible enough to consistently get business, but not so visible that your older brother's buddies recognize you and say, "Dude, I seen your sister Eileen online, she's a Greek freak!"  

I've accepted that there is money I'm leaving on the table by being less visible online, but in life there's compromises you have to make. It's about looking at the trade-offs and deciding what's more important.

the law of diminishing returns.  You can spend $250 and get 100% value for your money.  You can spend $500, and get 50% value, or you can spend a grand, and get 25% value.  In this case, literally, do the math.  

$500 means I might see her, $1000 means I'm NOT going to see her. That's the difference! Plenty of great providers I can see for two-hours for less than a grand!

I haven't noticed much of a difference in service above the basic GFE price in my region. The more expensive ones I've seen were slightly younger and/or better looking. But I wouldn't pay anything near double for better looks, and youth tends to be a drawback if anything.  

I assume $1,000 rates are for people who can afford it so why not. Or not getting the most out of their money isn't a big deal, because the hobby is a lark. Or they're suckers.  

Some people seek the fashionable thing, things with cachet, and therefore are liable to overpay. Maybe that's the wrong way to look at it. They're paying for the privilege of thinking to themselves, "I just bought an expensive hooker." Who's to say that's not getting their money's worth? Even if they could have had the same or better sexual experience for half the price.

People enjoy things simply because they're expensive, sometimes. I'm not one of them, but I think I understand the mindset.

out of body experience, can anyone attest to getting that much better service from a $1000 gal than a $500. I'm sure there are 1000 experiences that have been better than $500 arrangements but that might just be a shortcoming in the $500 gal. Maybe she's not even worth the $500?  

I had a long running special arrangement with a $250/300/HR gal for $100 (she really liked my cock) that was more than just me cumming on the cheap. She was a nymph and could fuck for the entire hour, back when I could keep a boner that long.  

It's providers similar to her that make it hard for me to envision the $1000 outlay, aside from being way above my comfort level

No chance in hell I would go for a 1000/hr provider.  
What could possible be the value over some the fabulous ladies in the 400-500/per hr range. none
I assume they just charge excessive amounts to limit their work schedule and if they can do it, good for them!

There are many men that do not have the point of view that you just described. Many affluent men focus on level of calibre, class, looks and intellect, and they view a 1000/hr + escort as a 'Veblen good'. It all comes down to basic economics. I've asked many gentleman who can afford 1000 + and they've always expressed this as their reasons. The men who can't afford 1000, have responses like the one you mentioned.

 I think if the persons local market can sustain that type of a rate, of course, charge whatever you want.

I usually agree with your posts but not this time.
Beauty may be in the eyes of the beholder...and it is...but in this service business I've never found the $1000 girls any better than mid range  
I've done overnights, weekends, SB, you name it.
My selection of companion was based on how she appeals to me.
But never have I found the higher priced providers to be any more charming, attractive or provide better service.
That is just my opinion but it's also just my money 🤑

Purchase of Veblen goods is usually thought to be motivated by "conspicuous consumption" and status-seeking. But the hobby is a very private affair, for obvious reasons, and provider consumption is fairly inconspicuous. Fellow hobbyists and other providers would be pretty much your only audience, and those of them who know their ass from their elbow won't be impressed by paying $1,000 an hour or more.  

There are no doubt inner circles, and circles within circles, of rich gentlemen who share what Little Black Book they're listed in with eachother, and get off on bragging about which high-end (pricewise) ladies they've been with. However, it's just as likely they're simply misapplying the natural "conspicuous consumption" instinct. Paying more for something because it looks good to pay more, even though no one's looking at you.

When it comes to high priced escorts, their product is less accessible to the population, thereby increasing their demand.  
"My demand for escort service increases as their price increases, because lower price escorts are affordable to more clients and hence higher risk of STD." Honestly, this is exactly what I'm talking about. It isn't a matter of whether this is factual or not, it is a matter of understand that there is a perceived value to a Provider charging more, and the value has nothing to do with how many times she allowed you to pop in an hour LOL, my gosh.

The main point I was trying to make is,, the gentlemen who typically see 1000/ hour providers aren't doing it to get the best  bang for their buck. Give me a break! Do you walk into Barneys and ask if a 900 sweater will keep you 3 times as warm as a normal priced one?! Do you ask if you can buy 2 for the price of 1? No! You may however find a customer at Walmart insisting that the 20 dollar sweater in his hand is really, buy 1 get a second. This is a stretched out example on purpose of course just to make a point.  

Most people who have 1000 plus an hour kind of money to spend, don't spend that much because they want the provider to work magic tricks beyond what they'd get from a 500/hr provider,  and the original post suggested such a premise.

$500 is somewhat average for my market (NYC/Northeast). It's considered mid-range - upscale, high-quality, but not particularly exclusive.  

While I do predominately longer dates, my base rate has historically been around that range.  

I can't comment upon the quality of $500 vs. $1k - as everybody here knows, wonderful escorts can be found at any donation level. A few years ago at a M&G, I met girls from higher end of the spectrum, and didn't see any difference in terms of appearance (although, they all seemed to be very young and skinny).  

Personally - as a mid-range escort in a major market, I've been extremely busy (doing multihour dates every day this week except SB Sunday). It's too much. I'm trying to figure out a rate raise that makes sense... I've been lower-volume in the past and I prefer to have ample time between dates to properly focus on each one, individually.  

If I went to $1k/hr (I'm not going to go that high), I'd expect much fewer dates. A date would be something for which I'd prepare and anticipate... it would be a challenge I'd want to knock out of the park, rather than another evening to get through (which is what it feels like now. Not that I don't try to knock it out of the park, but the urgency/excitement isn't there when it's, like, every single night or almost that).

I have to admit that lately I grumble if asked to do a 1-hour outcall. I'm even likely to refuse (unless, it happens to be extremely easy for me to do, schedulewise and travelwise). I never used to feel that way w/more intermittent dates - no matter what the duration or travel distance, that was my income for the week, and I was going to get it and give it my all - 1 hour, or 4 hours. Which is how it always should be with work. So in sum, I'd say higher rates - if they translate to low volume and generous pay - do allow the escort to give her client a more focused, individual experience - and, ideally enable her to give a client the best of herself. However, exactly what rate that is - and, what the ideal volume is - differs widely per escort, and also fluctuates at different times in her career.

Only once have I gone over $500/hr (it was awesome and one of the most beautiful ladies ever) but never a grand.  I only do multihour so that we can be relaxed and make connections above and beyond the physical.  I prefer a date like experience if at all possible which is why I predominantly ask for outcall to my location so I can set the mood, be just focused on her, and know that I am the only one she is seeing in that space.  Therefore rates ranging from $250-500 (depending on city and including any travel fees) are my sweet spot and have never been disappointed.  I agree with some of the comments regarding the $1000/hr ladies are managing volume and selection versus offering some above and beyond performances.  Although I could afford it I would never go that high, there is just no need IMO.

Saw her twice for two hours each. She's not listed on TER anymore, so she won't show up under my reviews.

She was great looking with an incredible body, but there's a couple of other ladies I've seen who looked almost as good or as good. There's ladies I know who put in a lot of gym time to get their bodies, though, whereas I think she works with what God has given her for now.

Performance-wise she was excellent, but there's a couple of others who are at that level.

She's from NYC, and rates are higher than in the south, so that's one reason.

She also was very attentive to details. Communication was superior to anyone I've dealt with so far. She booked five star hotels rather than three or four star, which doesn't make that much difference to me. She had nice little touches in the hotel room, and had a variety of beverages on hand.

Mostly, though, she was at $1000 because she wanted to work less and make about the same.

Just a thought:
I used to live w/a chick who had 900$ an hour ads up on one site
180$ on others
80$ on bp
Different pics on all  
It really mattered who bit first. Either way, they got a dishrag in great makeup who nodded out mid session.  
The 900 clients thought she was a model, the 180 an erotic masseuse, the 80 clients were looking for QV & not much else.
 So....unless they are well known, porn star, etc- I would assume there is absolutely no difference, other than wether they can afford a professional photo shoot for their ads.
It would be a crap shoot either way- other than picking up crackheads on the street, the service would depend on the provider, not the amount paid.

I agree with most of the other posters that at that price point it's not usually looks/performance that drives the booking.
It's something exceptional or unique for the man. That might be a porn star experience for some. Perception plays a large part in this price range also especially as it pertains to being low volume. I've heard service mentioned before and footprint (lack of or quality of it). The $3000 price range for a 4 hr date was much more visible about 10 years ago so I'm not sure I agree that perception = reality. Access to women who are socially adroit and erudite is plentiful at the $500 range but I once had a gentlemen tell me that generally their life experiences differ greatly from the $3K/4hr women and that was wanted appealed to him......

Lady Cazz,
The method to her madness would be it she knows the demographics for who looks at and frequents each site.  With the fact that she is keenly aware of who visit each site from a stratification analysis she understands thoroughly what she can charge and has a good idea of what those sites would yield as far as customers who will compensate her at that rate.  She also as an idea of what the competition is charging on those sites and prices herself accordingly so she is not totally out of step with what the marketplace is on those advertising mediums.   Once she has done the market research on those sites with respect to age and income as well as discussing it with others who work in the demimonde then she will understand what her rate of return will be after she pays for the ads.  
  Also she has an idea about the number of hits each site would be and how she would verify customer on those sites depending on the grade and quality of references that they would have as well.

$500.

It's really very easy math, try dropping the zeros if that's what's confusing you.

Hi everyone!

Speaking for myself, I am a touring girl and I see all kind of rates on the boards. I think at first it's a personal choice to decide how much your donnations will be. I do agree with many people that commented before me saying that it's not because you pay a 1k/H that it means the service will be better... There's is gentleman's that can't afford to pay this amount for an hour. There's also peoples that loves to take multiple hours encounter and enjoy the compagny of a beautiful girl, to me that is the real meaning of companion... spending good time together enjoying a bottle of wine and take time to have a great conversations. It actually make a big difference in the wallet when you advertise yourself at 1000/h  then 400 or 500 for 3hrs meeting. I am from Canada and the price are a lot lower if you compare to USA, I don't see no issues of charging more but I think the problem is with the one that are charging a ridiculous low amount.

Much Love, Vanessa xo
