Because we can

Why do people eat kobe steak instead of hamburger? Why do people shop at Gucci instead of Payless Shoe Source? Why do people buy Porsche instead of Kia? Why do people buy penthouse suites instead of a trailer park home? Because they can.

Why worry about what others spend on providers. Stick to worrying about your own finances. If you can't pay the rate, don't be irate, masturbate.

I can't answer.  The most I've paid is 400, for a lady who gets 9's, deserves them, and seems to be very low volume.  What about hearing from those who have paid significantly more?  Any observations? I suspect a lot of us are curious.

Why do guys do it? Because they think they are getting something that is 2x, 3x, better than a $300/hr girl.

I can afford to patronize the high dollar hotties if I chose to but I learned a long time ago that it's a borderline scam.  If you hobby regularly & long enough you'll figure out that it's just not true and 90% of the time all you are getting is a better web site.   IMO - I think a lot (not all) of guys who pay that much are infrequent hobbyists that splurge when they do hobby.  Maybe I'm wrong...just my hunch.

As the old adage goes...."a fool and his gold are soon parted"....

Name recognition, looks and don't forget about the "escorting."

For porn stars, there is a certain element of fantasy of being with someone you've seen in movies before and, for some, bragging about it later.  (I would seriously consider seeing some of my favorites if they came to town.)  Otherwise, ladies who charge higher rates tend to advertise themselves as arm candy for going to restaurants or social functions and are capable of doing that along with fucking afterward.  Of course, according to many of their websites, they tend to be "upscale" and "educated" as well and use GRE words unnecessarily along with themes like diamonds and VIP.  Let's not kid ourselves here, the sex-for-cash industry these days is all about image and projecting what you want to be to customers.  The image is enough for some to think they can charge whatever and there will always be a sucker ready to pay up.

The sex is generally the same all around but the overall experience is enough to pay a premium.  Ironically, the best experience I had with a provider charged 75 euros (about 110 dollars) and blew away my perception of higher rates equating to something better.  

If you have to ask......

......then you'll never understand.  I've done both ends of the spectrum and everything in between.  Started in the stratosphere price range doing the PSE and ended up exploring local options of all price ranges.  I've had $3,000 + evenings that were worth every cent and $250 locals that were a complete rip off.  Guess what? It isn't about the $. Some women have it & some women don't. If all you want are a nice pair of tits & a matching set of skills then by all means, it IS or certainly can be all about the $. But if you're looking for something more, then it truly becomes a matter of personal taste. I want what I want and I like what I like. Doesn't really matter whether it $300 or $700.  JMHO

Sometimes a girl catches your eye that you just have to see. She's higher-priced but there's something about her you can't resist. So you splurge. Maybe she's no better than half her price in reality but in your opinion she was worth it. It's all about perception. Maybe you do it once or twice and you're satisfied. Maybe you're rich and price isn't important.

It's not just visitors charging unusually high donations, we have locals doing the same. Why do guys see local ladies who charge that much? Because they want to.

Seriously, does the question really make any sense?

You can draw that line anywhere, just pick a number and say that is "so much." Why pay $200, when you can pay $100, or $400 when you can pay $300, or $600, when you can pay $400, or... It never ends.

So, Magnum, why do you pay twice as much as you could pay? Why not only do half hours at an AMP?

Really, there is no "reason" to pay more, pay less, or pay anything. How do you choose a lady? Why do you choose a lady? The reasons are the same at any price point, and the Sultan's answer - because he can - is true, not a joke.

I assume we all start with some sort of budget, whether it is what we can afford, what we want to pay, what we can sneak past the SO, or whatever. Then we look at the universe of ladies that fit our budget and choose one who turns us on. Or maybe it goes the opposite way, as one poster mentioned here, and we see a lady who looks very good and then try to figure out (if it is a stretch for the budget) how we find the money to pay for her time.

Guys pay a lot because they can and the lady looks good to them, the first time, and then they come back because they had a good time. That is exactly the same as at any price point. The actual number of dollars, and what those dollars mean to each of us, are just as subjective as the pleasure the lady gives them. A lot of money to me may be nothing at all to you, or the opposite.

Next question - oh, wait, I know that one, it will be "is a $600 lady definitely better than a $300 lady (or fill in whatever dollar amounts you want)?". That one is easier - there is no general answer, and if you want to compare two specific ladies, no one else can tell you what the value of each will be for you - go sample, consider and post your reviews so we can know what you think.

There are general differences between experiences offered by providers at different price points, but they are only general. Exceptions are the rule. Ladies get more money because they want to, figure out how to, and are prepared to do what they have to do in order to get that money. And because they can, by which I mean that they possess certain skills and attributes that make this possible, not because some sucker will pay them.

This reminds me of a little fact I love, and it relates a little to this. Over the years there have been a lot of surveys taken, asking people to define what it means to be rich. The results have been consistent, both over the years and for people with every amount of assets from $500 to $5 billion - no one ever believes they are rich, and they always define being rich as having twice as much money as they have. My guess is that the real question here is - why pay to see expensive providers, and the real answer, no matter how much you spend, is that no one pays to see expensive providers, we all pay a fair price to see wonderful providers.

But I am guessing that is not the answer you want. The answer you want is that people pay so much more than you do because they are idiots who do not understand the ultimate wisdom of your approach to the hobby, or maybe you want to be told that if you spend the money on one of these premium providers you will have a life changing experience that will turn you away from BP girls forever. Either or both may be true, but only you can say.

Me, like everyone else, I never pay "so much."

People do stupid things because they have money, but that doesn't make someone prefer one provider over another. I know a multimillionaire who won't pay more than $300. I also know a few guys that only go after $1000 so called courtesans. To each his own and because lots of guys throw around their money it might be because they "feel" better about doing so. Humans are flawed. Because most all of us go outside ourselves looking to fill our wholes, we make choices. Same for the ladies that choose to live this life. We can't judge. It only makes sense to the person doing it. Its great that you choose not to and know your reasons, but to condemn the other for foolishly throwing money at someone because they think the pussy is somehow better, different will only get you the grief you've experienced thus far. Let them do it and live within your principles not to.
