Does it seem like the talent in Chicago is getting more pricier?  Now a lot more 400+ donation then I've ever seem before.  I don't believe this necessarily means the talent is better.

Yes, prices have gone up lately. It's just a fact of life (sigh)

Awesome ladies can be found at *any* price point. If someone is out your range, bow out gracefully and move on.  

Back to the issue of raising rates . . . the price of rent, bread and butter goes up every year. Pussy is no exception.

END OF MESSAGE

Collecting stamps or rare coins is always an option..

Expected replies from the providers on here, but the cost has risen and yes the talent certainly isn't any  
better than it was 5 years ago...
The solution - do more research, there are wonderful providers in the $200-$300 range.
I personally would never spend more than $500/hr ever...and at $400 the girl would need to be very special.

I feel ya. There's a risk for providers when they see us and there's a risk for us when we see them. I agree with you that the experience should be there. YMMV to me means "proceed with caution". The reality is a lot of ladies look at this like a job not a career. Because they many of then are independent, there's a portion of the donation that goes back into investing into her business.  

Read websites and look for like minded ladies. I've found that the women that offer to make a connection and feel attraction for their clients are the best experiences across the board. Add them to you to do list like I have that Catalina Green on mine.

These girls have bills to pay like the rest of us. It's expensive to live in Chicago.

I know one person recently started to do Uber and Lyft to fund the hobby.   Unfortunately, we all have the same bills, property tax, state income tax and all these great restaurants .   Some ladies in the past use to barter services, I really do not see that anymore.  

While Chicago is getting pricier.....I have traveled to other cities and cost of living in Chicago seems to be less than a number of other cities - NYC, L.A. S.F. Miami, and a few others.   With that being said, Chicago offers a lot more  - the bike path, the parks, free events, Millenium Park - free music, etc...    while I am not happy about all these increases as of late, keep in mind for a major metropolitan city, we are less than others.  

Though Catalina Green is beyond the $200 or even $400 price range. Nice if you can afford her!!!

I'm very humble!!! Thank you. Hopefully I'll get the pleasure of meeting with you someday.

Its interesting you mentioned me because I believe I'm one of the very few providers who gives a break down of my  rates in the quick intro portion of my homepage. I like to exemplify what a gentleman is investing in and give a more lucid idea of the type of effort I put into our date.  

I do think, a lot of times the rates reflect the quality of service, other times women offer really great companionship but need to keep lower prices to keep a higher rate of volume coming. It seems to really come down to the persons lifestyle. But, Like you suggested, its best one does their research by reading websites and looking for like minded providers who offer what they're searching for. That's definitely great advice!!

Enjoy the rest of your week my dear. xo

Chicago is cheaper than those other cities because people, especially high-end people, are leaving in droves. Chicago is run for the benefit of the democratic pols that have long owned the city, and the public employee unions that back them, who get outrageous retirement and health benefits in return.     The situation will continue to deteriorate until people wake up.    In the meantime, the pols will continue to bleed us dry.

not all of us choose to bang 2 or more guests every day, but also due to our ability to keep our cost of living lower we can offer rates that are highly competitive.  So suggesting that a lady who charges less has to stay on her back all day in order to maintain her lifestyle is not true.  Maybe it is of the providers you know, however many of us as I said have lower cost of living so can cut our guests a break and still not have to deal in high volume.

Good luck to you and hope you stay busy, you seem nice enough.  However I can't stand when people try to generalize a certain type of lady as that certainly is not what this profession/hobby is about.  It is about providing the best quality service we can at a gifting that we feel works best for us.  I may be mid to lower range but am still lower volume then many high end ladies, and that is ok with me.  I have zero debt, a nice nest egg put away and a pretty low cost of living...  Living the dream right here

Take care, Sage

When I say higher volume I'm referring to higher than the 3-5 dates I Have a month.  

I did mention it depends on the persons lifestyle because everyone's got their own reason for their rates. I really don't have an answer for anyone's intentions but mines.

Yes, you're right...  I  have been told by a few girls that I've engaged with that their rates are lower because they rather have a more frequent volume due to their expenses etc... but I certainly wasn't generalizing everyone as being the same type. I never tried to insinuate the ladies stay on their back taking 2-3 calls a day. You took that the wrong way.  Sorry for the misunderstanding!

That being said,  the YMMV caveat can go both ways,  and is a very subjective, personal thing....  

  I've  been known to keep my boyfriends longer than the scheduled time,  either in learning more about one another before,  or after the session... I've been known to go out to eat w a BFE after the session,  even if a dinner and play wasn't  booked in advance,  if i have time.... but again,  YMMV depends much on chemistry,  physical and emotional....

 On the flip side,  i wore someone out the other day massaged then half to sleep,  well before their alotted 2 hours was up,  so,  i gave some of the donation back.... not all of the second hour,  because I'd  made myself unavailable for 2 hours,  nor could check my phone... if that person sees this or calls again,  I'd offer a discount to finish out that second hour  

Everyone has different needs... many people don't want or need even a full hour.... i reserve my 4 rate for thise who require 2 +rounds and typically need more like 75 min.... all one has to do is ask, if you're needing more of a one cup of tea 45 to true 60, then i get it,  not wanting to spend  4... especially in this uncertain economy.... i don't think turning you coin or stamp collecting is the answer,  we all have needs!!  
 
Gratefully Yours,  
Sarah

PS... I  may be leaving Friday afternoon,  but likely stopping back thru before the end of next week,  if we don't connect this trip,  see you on the flip side!

Another aspect to consider is their time and effort into understanding you as a suitor. Certainly each lady has her own website that contains (some more than others) a breakdown of who she is as a woman and a provider. She's hoping that information matches her with her ideal suitor just like we are researching her as a GFE or whatever we are looking to experience.  

When a date is booked then she may put an amount of effort into making that date special and personable based on her understanding of who and what you are looking for in an experience with her which for the good providers is quite flattering.  

I'm sure cancellations happen at all levels, but what I'm not hearing talked about is that more ladies are observing a cancellation policy these days. This tells me that their efforts to some extent is wasted. This is an inconvenience and it is time consuming. Personally I think a cancellation policy should go both ways, but I can't disregard that since it's apparent that it happens then the consideration that some of her efforts results in wasted dividends is also apparent. We don't really get a full picture of what these efforts look like as suitors, but I'd consider it presumptuous to not think some of her rate has to do with acquiring a client vs booking one vs number of clients that keep their date.

I'd say it's JUST my 2 cents, but we are talking about costs here. I gave more than just 2 cents here.

As a massage provider my rates are lower then escort and I do keep a fully schedule daily.  I don't consider myself less Market by any means. I also don't have tons of high expenses which frankly is no one else's business.  I'm young active and manage my time well why not put away as much earnings as I can?  I don't have tons of obligations so I get board easily so why not fill my schedule?  I also do work because I enjoy it, not because I have to.  It is hard for me to imagine anyone would get into this business just to make a couple extra bucks - No I want a fully invested retirement fund and real estate paid off, and a business. I'm not going to look back at my years in this business with nothing to show for it besides some shoes.  I had some whip smart ladies stear me in the right direction many many years ago.  

Catalina you have no idea what others ladies responsibilities are many of us help older parents, have children, tuition, sick relatives, single mom etc. Jeeze I had to whip out 4K to the vet there's no way I would of denied my little guy his medical care.

You can find wonderful company at any price point.

If you read the response I wrote to sage, It said,  "I did mention it depends on the persons lifestyle because everyone's got their own reason behind their rates. I really don't have an answer for anyone's intentions but mines." which is me saying I don't know what responsibilities each individual has or any reasons behind their motives... and honestly, Its none of my concern.
I did say, "other times women offer REALLY GREAT companionship but need to keep lower prices to keep a higher rate of volume coming."  And that's only speaking of a portion of workers, I didn't say all providers are like this.... I never mentioned names or down talked anyone, thats not part of my character.  Continue doing well for yourselves and keep on pushing!! As long as we're all  making income that works for us and we like what we do, we're all winning. (:

Best of luck.

A lot of girls I know don't always want to work day in and day out. Hence the higher prices. I've never been in Chicago and will be visiting next week actually but just getting a hotel here has been a bit pricier then I excepted!

I notice your general scoring of providers' looks has gone up in 2017. You're consistently scoring 8's and 9's in looks, mostly 9's whereas, in previous years, your looks scores have been a bit all over the place. Though you have no 10's in 2017, you still have more consistency in your satisfaction with the talent in looks and services. So something is getting more consistent for you...

Being a grammar nazi, because someone would filet an escort if she wrote that in her ads no matter what the price range. But what do you do for a living? Is your job looking for more talent in your area? What price did you negotiate with those paying you, be it your clients, or a company?

As we all know, talent doesn't mean income. There are shit people working good jobs, getting paid more than super star employees doing the same job. But it's also the other way around. That has to do with negotiation, and what you're willing to work for or walk away from when charging for your time commitment. (or if you feel like negotiating a high rate or salary.) Charging more doesn't mean one is the best, it just means they're looking for more money. So they will wait for, or seek out those who are willing to pay that price, understanding not everybody will. As you go up, the number of people who will pay the price will be less.

In those cases, hopefully, they step up to the plate. But for all of us ladies, the responsibility and care I've personally seen at all price ranges in myself, and others I've met, I don't think I've ever had a duo with a woman who did any less than a pretty rock star job in this arena. whether touring or not. And I don't think I've ever had a duo with a woman who wasn't professional level in her skill sets, cleanliness, and none of the women have ever been the same as another by a long shot, even if they kind of looked the same.

Each had something unique to offer from one another, that gives what many come here for. Variety. At a professional level. (I think with 211 reviews, you might have forgotten what it's like to hook up with random strangers and the quality of sex and cleanliness/preparation you get from that. Big difference.)

Skill in dating, skill behind closed doors, care & passion into turning on a man and making him feel good... cleanliness, hygiene, blah blah blah...

Also, You pretty much just told us that women you're rating in "model material" looks aren't good talent. Out of 211 reviews, and all of the cities you've reviewed in, ALL of the people you gave 10's to are Chicago based. And again, in 2017, your scores have been more consistent in the upper range, instead of all over teh place. That could have been your personal outlook, or you are experiencing better talent.

So I don't see your reasoning. According to your review scores, we have the highest number of talent in all of the cities you've visited.

In the end, I'll answer your question for what I know. There are still people out here charging at all prices. But I have noticed a boost amongst friends, seems the prices have gone up. If you're working, (not sure how you make money - salary or you own your own company, charge your own rates, etc etc...) hopefully you're asking for a raise, because when you look at our rates and see them rising, maybe that's when you know it's time to increase your price too.

I will say, hotels are most definitely pretty high in price if you're looking for a place that has the accommodations you're looking for. Their prices don't fluctuate from year to year, they fluctuate from day to day based on demands. And the "talent" is going to be the same, whether you go on a $100 per night, or when it fluctuates to $700 per night.

It's this. What's the asking price? And Will they pay? If the answer is "yes" and "Yes", then they're going to charge it.

Granted, there are people who are smart, have something great working for them, are doing a fantastic job, are happy, and charge lower rates than the current market rates too. Maybe they're sick of fluctuating up and down with demand. If they're happy in their job, they're probably going to be pretty talented, and happy to serve you.

omg!!  Have you seen what she looks like?  She can leave out all the vowels for all I care.

The OP isn't a she, it's a reviewer with 211 reviews, unless I replied to the wrong part of the thread.

Cost certainly is not always correlated with value or quality!

You're wise to invest in long term financial goals!

He's referring to https://www.elisbradley.com/

I believe he is referring to  Luciascort's website!

Think you got it right at blah, blah, blah.  
I just hope some of you self righteous providers remember what you do for a living.
Correct, you can charge as much as the market will bear and I wish the best of luck to you and your ilk.
I just have better ways to spend my money than a $500 hr/ session with an escort.

It's good that you know what you want, and set a limit on what you're willing to pay. 💋💋

Define "Self Righteous Provider".

Lol. Thank you. My phone does have some wierd vowel issues at times...

This new layout is confusing, but my first reply was a direct reply to original poster. He said more pricier, not you. (While talking about our competence on the job.)

Sorry for the confusion

You write very well, And great website btw!!

Because I wondering  if this country is going into one.  A lot of banks are treading very very carefully in regards to lending.    

END OF MESSAGE

what? banks are not treading carefully at all. it would be best to relay info that is actually true. regulations have eased and access to lending increased across the board in all area's of banking. how else would the stocks of banks be hovering near record highs? if lending was tight, profits andstock prices would be lower.

I knew it!

To compare escort prices to the stock market is ridiculous Anna...inflation yes, but not the market dumb dumb.

Calling women names like that

Grow up!

This goof is saying when the market goes up...so do her rates. With this idiotic logic does it mean her rates  
go down when there is a market correction?  
I'm guessing they will not, so yes - she should learn to stick to her area of expertise which is being a  
provider.
