Seems like the standard rates are now 6H for most providers. Is there a bubble? lol

I put my hands on two nice looking big jugs of soft and firm Poland Spring water and have experienced their tender explosive rise to about $1.79 from $1.49? Just over the past two months. Do we need to drink spring water by grabbing the jugs and pumping them or we could make do with DIY and wrap our thirsty mouths on the kitchen faucets?

My thoughts are not to knock those that are getting that fee yet really guys, why ? Is it really worth it for 60 min ? I have succumbed to $500 and even after doing that felt ripped off. I calculate what I can do with $500. Buy a new driver ? That’s 7-8 rounds of golf. Many goods to be bought for this amount. Yet as stated before, if they can get it then more power to the ladies. Not from me though.

Not a wide selection but enough to keep me happy.  I enjoy service more than scenery.  Grandfathered rates also help.

Every time I have paid a rate higher than $300.. I always wonder afterwards
If it really was any better..and frequently worse

It could be pent up demand for providers who previously didn’t work due to the pandemic. And an influx of
Clients wanting services. In the end supply/demand will equal out to bring prices down.

With the pandemic ending and the availability of vaccines, a lot of us hobbyists are making up for lost time and pushing up the prices.  It seems the rates had been pretty steady over the past 10 -15 years or so.

I've gone to $400 with one provider but stopped seeing her because I could not justify the recurring cost for a one hour experience.  It would seem to me that a quality provider can charge $300, develop a tremendous following, a loyal, repeating client base, and kill it financially and continue that strategy for at least two or three years (remember Fancy).  If the provider is financially wise and stays away from hard substances, she can accumulate a down payment on a house in no time or make other sound investment decisions.  Along the way, as they did with Fancy, good opportunities will inevitably present themselves to give the provider options to continue working or transition out of the "life" if she so chooses.  Having financial stability such as home ownership, cash savings, retirement investments, etc. increases the degree to which a provider can exercise control over her life and future.  Steady cash flow is a prerequisite for that type of control.  If providers who charge more than $300-350 feel they can keep their cash flow positive month after month, year after year without a loyal and repeating client base, they should be congratulated.  For those who cannot, when their smart phones don't buzz, they'll know its us.          

Maybe it's me.  Is $600 an hour a little excessive?

Yes I agree.  what happened to the penny postcard and the $.05 cent stamp.

I'm curious as to why you feel lady who charge higher rates don't have a following or regulars????

I'm bitching rates 130 going up to 160🤣
