No provider I've met would ever say that.  They would either be polite and factual or just not reply.

Yes I know, this is probably the most difficult thing there is to talk about, it is cleary not consistent with proper hobby etiquette, and WE MUST hold ourselves to a standard, just as the girls also adhere to a professional standard.  

But sometimes shit happens,  

What do you do, and maintain professional hobbyist etiquette?

Sorry a little late to the party , been super busy  

Now to OP , first off  I have 2 words for you - Free Market !  

Then I have some more words - in many professions people start off with a certain salary or asking price.
Doesn't a model start with one fee and the more famous or in demand she becomes , the higher her fee ? Just ask Naomi Campbell or Cindy Crawford  

Doesn't a football or basketball player start off making a certain amount and as he gets more popular he gets paid more ?
Same goes for actors , lawyers , doctors ......... I mean the list can go on and on and I don't have that much time . But I am sure you get the picture .

NOW with that said there are PLENTY of ladies who do not do that . and never did that .......
myself included .
Why not ?  
Can't speak for others , but as for me , my rates have been the same for a long time .
and my 2 hour rate at that time also went very very far .  
but I also have MANY many regulars that would be grandfathered in and it would be quite a hassle to keep track of who is grandfather rate and who would be new rate.
because I really DO NOT keep a client list. it worked better for me just to keep as is .

 
Also a ladies rate is tied into being "higher on the TER list"  which I personally could care less about
and actually don't even care at all .... because "The List" is ridicules to begin with .......
but that is a whole new discussion .
I guess some people take that list too seriously .  

I wonder if this list would be taken away , some rates may drop a bit  
but many still will remain high .

Think about it - who is going to spend $1500 on an unknown . So they start at average Vegas rate
cause I guess that is a rate that people are willing to take a chance on .......and once they build credibility , they raise the rate to what they want.

What you also don't know is we in Vegas always end up paying higher rates then most other cities pay for advertising or ads on verification sites .  
So why is that ?  ........ rhetorical question , because as in any business , pricing is based on supply and demand and what the market will bare.
Hello !!!! Economics 101 ...... geez and I don't even have a college degree.  

Who says porn stars are worth more ?? ( no offense to Porn Stars , just trying to make a point )  Maybe that is your opinion . Someone else may think different .

It's a free world , free market . If you don't like someone's rate , move on and find another in your price range. Vegas has much to offer from lower to higher.  

Oh it was you just making an observation ?? cool ! but it isn't a conspiracy or marketing tactic ,
(except maybe to rank higher on "the list )  

You wanted to point this out to us ........ well tell us something we don't know

and Tall6969 ,  yes this hobby for US ladies is a business .  
and there are many expenses that come along with being in this business .
Sorry not going to get into THAT list right now,  and it ain't no soap box , it is reality !!!    

We don't get paid benefits , retirement plans .......we have to create our own.
No one pays for our sick days , vacation days ....... and yes many ladies are smart and know
to also pay their taxes.
so what in your eyes may seem as A LOT ........ isn't as much as you may think.

If a lady is working just to pay her bills , it will be a very sad day the day she wakes up and has nothing else to show for .

but whatever , I am not judging anyone . people do what they gotta do .  
Maybe some ladies work to support their children or sick family or whatever .

and some work to support other habits.

and maybe a lady is just working to pay her way through school and then she will be done .....
although I haven't met such a lady .
In fact ladies who finished school and claimed to hold a million degrees still choose to be escorts ....
nothing wrong with that , just saying that YES escorting becomes a business and not just a temporary thing .

For gents this is a hobby . Maybe you don't care what expenses I have , but I do and have to base my rates thinking about that .

For a hobby ( any hobby ) People have to search for what fits their pocket .
BTW , I would never say or call someone cheap.
Cheap is like if Donald Trump was bitching about spending $1500 for 2 hours.
I understand if someone can't afford $1500 , but that person shouldn't be complaining about it .  

Look I would really love to drive a Ferrari , but I can't afford a Ferrari .
I don't go bitching to the dealership that the Ferrari costs too much .........I found a sporty car  
that is in my price range , and bought it .

Ahhhh , the beauty of a Free Market ........enjoy it while it lasts

P.S. what does a girl have to do to get her message approved ?? Soon to be 2 hours since I made my post .........yeah now I remember why I don't post as much anymore.
Hard to be a part of a discussion with such delay .  
Just saying , *wink winK*
