Like many other guys, I have a ceiling price that I try to adhere to. Most of my visits have been with ladies in the 200-350 range. That is not to say I won't go over that, but I really have to have a STRONG desire to see a particular lady to go over 400 bucks (I have done it).
My budget allows me to see more ladies than I would if I stayed in the over-400 range. While I do not hobby weekly, I do like to get at least a couple of dates a month. If I were to go for too many higher dollar ladies, obviously, I would not be able to do that.
IMHO, there are a lot of quality ladies out there in hobby-land I can see in my price range, with a sprinkling of those out of it. So, I tend to watch my budget. I guess I like to get more bangs for my bucks.

Hello all,
I am wondering about something, and I'm sure you agree there are different price range ladies available.
Low, Mid Range, and High to Uber High
I am wondering do you fellows who use the High and Uber High price range ladies, do you ever cross over and use mid range ladies? I hazard to say that probably no one here uses low range and not concerned with that.
I am wondering if there are limitations that we as providers place upon ourselves when we decide what donations range we place upon ourselves and I am coming at this question from the opposite way you are probably thinking. I am wondering do those who use the high to uber high ladies have the mindset, If the ad looks good, and she looks good, and it all sounds good, but the price is less than I am used to paying for this same sort of thing; do you pass or do you give it a try Do you feel that if the price is less than you are used to, you don't want to partake?
I guess what I'm trying to ask specifically, is if a lady prices herself midrange, does that automatically rule her out from those hobbyists who use high end ladies?
I hope this makes sense!
Thanks for your responses
I generally hobby in the 250-350 range with an ocassional move up to 400 or 450 if the lady is special. Special to me means we have seen each other before, had a great time (from my point of view at least) and now she may have raised her rates a little bit.
PM if you want more information.
Do gentlemen who typically spend $400+ ever see ladies under $400...in the mid-range (e.g. $250-$400)?
some $400/hr. ladies will offer 2-hrs. for $650 and some $300 or $350 ladies will offer 2-hrs. for $500. I have gone higher but that is the exception, not the rule of thumb.
I am sure there are high range hobbiests who never deviate. From my perspective (high range could be an opption if I win the lotto) the quality of the experience is what is the most important. Choosing who to spend my time and money with starts there and then the dollars come into play. Each guy is different with their taste in looks of the provider or how she likes to please. We all choose accordingly. I think Ginamarie said it very well. Although I am sure no matter what you do some of us men will be men...the little head can cloud reason. I hope you find a price that meets your needs.
If the provider looks good and has good reviews would see no reason why you would not see someone for less- although if too low might be concerned that the provider is doing high volume and performance may suffer
wow, oddly enough, i was wondering about same topic today. with regards to my business. distribution of goods, low volume vs. high volume, profit and all that nonsense, does it apply here?
usually the mid to higher range i've been told helps the ladies because it acts as a 'filter'. not 100% of the time, but supposedly men who can afford those prices, are of a 'saner' and 'cleaner' caliber. not your average dirt schmuck who wants a quick pump and a smile, and will actually disrespect the lady the entire time.
but also, there is the idea that a more modest price range (250 to 350) would actually better business for the lady. but then that lends itself to the odd idea of "high volume" movement. which is good for a wal-mart or target. but not aesthetically pleasing when applied to a human being. showers and protection and whantnot, its sometimes odd to be with a provider if you know that she is a "high volume" lady.
so in the end it comes down to what the lady is comfortable with for what she feels she is able to offer. as well as what the man is comfortable to offer, and work from that point.
i personally wonder if the lady is hurting her 'sales' if she sticks to hard to the "no negotiate" philosophy.
i mean, if her dance card is constantly, CONSTANTLY full, then i can understand why she doesn't or NEED to arrange a special fee for a special amount of time. but in the REALITY, especially today, if she knows she can make a bit more than hourly with a hobbyist, or something reasonable for lenghthier time, and isn't strictly hoursXrate (etched in stone) then why back away from the possibility. I understand the secure nature, particularly if she doesn't want it broadcasted, thereby hurting her business. but i'm just curious on that front. needs to be honesty on both sides. i think fasteddie51 (porn board mod) has the best philosopy.
DON'T NEGOTIATE. BE HONEST WITH WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD. THANK HER FOR HER TIME AND ATTENTION. ASSURE HER THAT SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY THAT SHE IS ASKING, BUT YOU CAN'T QUITE MEET IT. AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, REALITY WILL SET IN, AND SHE WILL SEE THE HONESTY OF HER SITUATION, AND CONSIDER YOU FOR WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD. FROM THEN ON, WHAT YOU GET, YMMV, DEPENDS ON HOW RESPECTFUL YOU ARE TO HER. AT THE END OF THE DAY, ITS A BUSINESS, BUT ITS STILL BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS. HUMAN BEINGS. TREAT THEM AS SUCH.
my apologies if i went completely out of whack with the original intent of this thread.
Thanks, I like the replies so far. Giamarie is correct, I am coming at the question from a different angle. I am trying to determine if being a "mid range" gal increases your options. Common sense would dictate the answer to be yes, but you never know.... so I had to ask. Keep em coming if you like.
I just found out I will be in the Ft Myers/Naples area this weekend! Hooray! I can't wait.
Thanks guys

There are those with the means, and the ego that will not look at a lady under a certain price! Good for them. I think for a good portion of the guys in this hobby, a lower price for the same looks, service, etc is certainly not going to be looked at as an inferior product, by any means.
No, I won't go for the Walmart price tag with NO reviews...But I've met some lately that have great reviews, were GREAT GFE's, were a lot of fun, and I spent 2 hours with for what some still want for one! I didn't walk away from those dates thinking I was a "dirtbag". Not only did I leave with a BIG smile, I still had money left to stop and have a few beers LOL!
A mid price range or even lower mid, is NOT going to hurt a good providers chances of getting dates...at least not in MY book, or in the books of many I know here.
Scarlett, I think most guys look at the lady first and then their budget. Some high and uber high couldn't be that much better than other ladies with the same menu. I think it's more about mutual enjoyment. Maybe I'm kidding myself but it works for me.
I don't think I can say this the way I have to many hobbyists out there recently... but let's me say it this way...
No Cat out there is Golden!
I've been told that I am just as good if not better than girls that have higher prices than I do because I do enjoy my dates and am not a clock watcher. I usually let them know during our session if we have more time or not. This makes them immediately relax. I also don't do this other than for fun and excitement.
However, I do expect a gentleman to be clean, classy and respectful. I hope this helps.
Kisses,
Jade
I'm a free market guy and I believe a lady should charge whatever the market will bear. If a lady can get all the business she desires at a certain price, than that is what she should charge. If that price is not working for her, than she may need to adjust her price to get the desired revenue. The market (supply and demand) will always decide price.
I've been hobbying for about 20 years and I have come to the conclusion that price usually has nothing to do with service. I’ve had extremely good and extremely poor service in all price ranges from top to bottom. Personally, I have found you get your best value for your dollar at the more economical end of the spectrum. But, hey, that's just me.
