So this is my cheap side coming out.  I have been in the hobby for some time now.  I have seen my share of providers but I just can not justify spending $250+ for an hour session.  Even $175 for 30 mins still seems to be to rich for my blood.  I can understand maybe if you get 2-3 cups but man, by no means am I old but I cant get going that fast in that amount of time.  What and the heck is the extra $ for?  Yes, most of the woman a great looking but I have seen a few for that kind of money and I think most of the $100 service girls do as good or betterand seem to be more friendly too.  Just trying to understand this.  I expect to get blasted on this.  I'd rather ask the ? versus getting ripped off.

If you're happy doing things the way you are doing them, great.

I agree -- I just have a hard time spending that kind of money too. In fact, for me, it seems that the really good looking providers (the "elite") are not worth the money, esp. when one orgasm is it. What the hell!

You get what you get!!  As for the $100, well, good luck, you'll be in and out as soon as you take off your clothes!!  Or her pimp will be waiting for you behind the door to get more $ out of you, or it's a total upsell once you walk in the door, or........

I could go on and on.  Good luck to you.  We value our rates, and like I said before, you get what you pay for.  Specials are things to look out for, you might prefer that, but, not everyone does that.  If only you knew what a woman had to go through prior and after a meeting, you'd understand, but you probably never will, unless you find ones to see regularly!!  And then, well, the story goes on and on, and I don't have time, nor the desire to stand up for myself and most of the other gorgeous ladies on this board!!!  We're not all gems on here, but I'm pretty sure, if you'd do your research like everyone else, you'd find people in your price bracket, read the reviews, you'll also find someone who'll take their time getting to know you!!

My .02 for a question that if you'd search the boards, there's a million answers to why people spend the $ they do!!

Have a great weekend!!

Must69ng, I am a hobbyist, not a provider, however this post may come off as such. I have not been or do I plan on being a white knight defending all and rebuking any negative post about any provider on this board, but buddy, you are SO WRONG. I respect EVERY woman in this hobby. I do not think that there is a gal out there that is worth $100 dollars,  each and every one of them is worth more than that, in many cases much much more.   If you think that a gal should only charge you 100 bucks because that's what you got in your wallet, then go to the bar, buy some skank a 100 dollars worth of drinks, take her home, or go rent a room if your married, have her call you every day and night for the next three months because you were so much fun.  In the hobby you are paying for companionship, a companion knows the boundaries of the hobby.  She knows how to prepare for the hobby, she knows the repercussions of the hobby.  Every day that she participates in the hobby, (for your pleasure I might add) she is putting herself at risk to a variety of things (LE, violence, verbal abuse). Some providers need to hide their occupation from friends and family, as in "where do you get your money"??  And Last but not least, you could be a big ole piece of grossness that they have to just grin and bear(bare) it with. If anyone disagrees, well, go fuck yourself, because your maybe only worth a hundred bucks.  

As for getting ripped off, there is no rip off involved if you knew what her rate was going in, and were willing to pay it. If you get the service that the lady advertised, you simply paid the asking price, period. The likelyhood of actually getting ripped off is much higher with your $100 girls. To me, getting ripped off is getting nothing for your investment, and that's going to happen much more often when you go shopping at the shallow end of the gene pool.

If you just want to get in, get your rocks off, and get the fuck out, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. If you're lucky, you'll never encounter a lady with a "friend", or a lady who might not pay as much attention to hygiene as you'd like, or a lady who doesn't give a fuck about discretion. These are all very real possibilities.

My dates typically cost me much more than you're willing to spend, as I enjoy multi-hour encounters, usually dinner dates. One hour just doesn't do it for me, and a half hour is out of the question. I can't even get my shoes off in a half hour, much less get me off.

We all have different desires, and there is a good fit for yours, if you look for it. Just be careful out there, and if you find your $100 girl, stick with her.

You said, "I think most of the $100 service girls do as good or better and seem to be more friendly too."
If you know this to be true, why are you asking the question?  You've already found these incredible deals, why go to the less friendly, more expensive and less qualified (or "good") counter-parts?

Stick to your price range because the girls you spend what makes you feel "ripped-off" are always going to make you feel this way and the less expensive girls are always going to make you feel good and feel like you've gotten a deal.
 
As for those of us, "Expensive Girls", we know our value and we know what it costs to keep us in the life-styles, upscale incalls, French Lace lingerie, $150 purfumes, waxed kitties, gym memberships...the list goes on and on.  We see a LOW VOLUME amount of gentlemen; most of us only see 3-5 people per week vs. the low cost gal who sees more than that PER DAY.  We screen and verify them too, which costs money as well.

Now looking at those things, here is something that you're getting for your low cost gals:

The PLUS side:

1. A cheap quick thrill
2. An easy way to see her because she probably does not do much screening.
3. Short notice appointments as she has to work a lot in order to meet her bills so she's high volume.

The NEGATIVE side:

1. She doesn't do much screening so the chances of her letting "the wrong company" into her life are quite a bit higher.
2. If she's incall or outcall, if she's high volume, "the wrong company" is BOUND to catch up with her (especially for incall).
3. I don't care who she is, there is no way she is showering more than once per day with 5 clients coming in and out all day...literally.

I'm not going to give you the plus and negative for those of us who are "high dollar" (even though I don't think that to be true about myself, according to your above discription, I'm a darn thief!) as all you need to do is reverse the two above for your answer. 

Hopefull this makes sense.  I meant no disrespect, I'm just trying to be helpful to you.  Do as you wish in this as if you feel "ripped off", you're at the wrong door.
 
Peace, love and descretion,
Minneapolis Provider

*In an attempt to not be visable to unwanted eyes, I've decided to start using an alias for all of my future posts. In no way am I ashamed of my statements.

That's the guys sharpening up their mangina barbs for anyone who dares to suggest some high end women provide an experience that is worth the money they charge.

Whew! Glad I didn't do that.

300 seems to be the going rate, I feel I always get at least my money's worth.  Prices haven't gone up recently for the most part, so I'm not sure what the concern is.  In fact, I think I see the 250 price point a little more often than a year or so ago, and less 350-400.  Watch for the 50 or 100 off specials by our well known ladies, you won't be disappointed.  Or watch for blue light specials.

Would *you* wanna fuck you for $100?

Just sayin'.

Well, you were definitely worth the money, Sam.

sorry I couldn't resist

It's not just 300 or 100. There are many extremely attract quality providers at the 200 rate. Fits my wallet much better without worrying about getting scammed. I did the 250/300 for many years- they are certainly worth it but there is a nice in-between rate too.

After many years of being a hobbist. I find that what you pay for indeed you get. I have paid  more than what you have suggested for some great gals such as Hailie and also have had some discounted price gals also. I would rather pay more for some one like Hailie . The ride has to be worth the fall and all of us are at some risk whether you are with a high quaility or a low quaility gal.

I agree with that -- 200.00 to 250.00 per hour max is acceptable.

there is no way they could accomodate all the appointment requests they would get.  I'm going to repeat what I've said on this board before:  When it comes to pricing for anything it comes back to supply and demand.  Do you ever listen to professional economists?  It doesn't matter if it's provider rates or the price of gas/oil, they will say the same thing.

That's a wonderful opinion that needs  big a THANK YOU.

Oh yes, Like it was only yesterday.

The fact of the matter is, every provider has a myriad of reasons for setting her rate structure as she does, ex) financial, personal, marketing strategy, menu options, competition, degree of risk, etc, etc, etc.  We also weigh the different aspects of this lifestyle and what we choose to give up so we can do this, afterall it is what we love best and a way of life for many of us!  I know I would miss it tremendously if I had to give it up tomorrow.  I digress...by choosing this life we give up certain aspects of a carefree life.  We do have to worry about being outed to family and friends, we worry about LE, violent and sexual offenders, disease and death even.  And, yes, as rdon said, "grossness".  Although we do choose this, we do so at great risk to ourselves and those we love.

So, WE Providers get to put a pricetag on all that.  It's OUR bodies.  OUR health.  OUR safety.  OUR families.  OUR wellbeing.  

We are not just risking this for 30 minutes or the 1 hour we are spending with you.  That risk carries on into the rest of our lives.  

Put this way, do you see now that $100 is not quite enough considering all that this fun, thrilling, enticing, intoxicating, yet dangerous hobby that we put ourselves into can COST us providers?

That said, OP, I do agree with you on one point...there are always exceptions to every rule.  There are HIGH dollar hotties that do nothing but look cute and, likewise, there are $100 hot mama's that earn every penny they make!!
But, like I said...they are exceptions and not the rule!!    

Oh, and by the way...$250 is not HIGH DOLLAR!!!

Just my .02 cents,

Belinda

Are you in such a hurry to swallow another man's residual saliva or cum?

Lower rates don't always equal higher volume...

But more often than not they do and every client isn't interested in saving $50 or $100 or whatever amount at the cost of peace of mind.

Buy what you can afford and ignore what you cannot.

Much as I hate to do it I am going to stop seeing one of my all time favorites.  She has recently raised her donations to a point that I said I"d never pay.  I have some stuff I said I"d get her so I will see her one more time.  She is the one that sets her rates and I am the one that decides to see or not to see her.  I wish her well and hope she has all the work she can handle.  Even if it breaks my heart!

well said & so true.

I travel all over the world and Mpls is on average cheaper than other big cities for what is generally better service, if slightly less variety.

I would never go looking for someone that was charging $100 because in my view that person has a low opinion of their own value, a poor understanding of the economic climate in which they operate and they are catering to a high risk market that I am thankfully not a part of.  

The fact that you are at that end of the market probably says even more about you than it says about the provider(s)...and now you've said it in public...which is a sort of public service announcement that I suppose most of the ladies here should thank you for.

Belinda, I think that you hit the nail on the head. Well said!! Have fun!!

If you don't know what her practice is, you might want to find out.

No Grandfather

ps  Thanks for the suggestion.

I have gotten my money’s worth out of every provider that charged a premium rate. I have found them all to be well groomed, fit, talented, engaging and they all operated in a clean and safe environment. If you aren’t getting your money’s worth, you might be doing it wrong!

For some people, there's more than just an orgasm.  You can have one, two, hell, all you want with just about anyone.  Even yourself.  Or, spend some quality time with a person of your choice, connect on various levels, give and receive pleasure, and OH, yes, maybe even reach a climax somewhere in there!  There's more to this (for some) than just having an orgasm.  Much more....

I also agree, this middle ground (at least for me) seems to be the best option.

I've only seen 1 $/hr girl and that was enough to say never again will I try another cheap and high volume girl (not in MN I might add)

there are fabulus ladies that price themselves at 150/hr, Anastasia comes to mind.  The average being 250/350 or maybe a little less this past year due to economy.  Then there are the ladies that charge 500-1000 and porn stars well above that.

My question I guess to those people saying price is the answer is...

for ladies -  if the thought is that 150 or less is not as good of service, does that mean the ladies that charge 500-1000 or more are better than all the ladies or even the majority at 350 and less?

for the gents, same thing  are you settling for less than the best because you may not be able to aford porn star prices?

That is the only question I saw in your post...the rest was statements.

As always, the money if for time, now who you spend that time with is entirely up to you.

I for one like to go out for a nice dinner and wear a suit from time to time, and a lady that charges 100 for 30 minutes is probably not going to have a wardrobe to meet that need.

I also like a thrill of a hot date with no names and a blip memory as well so that 100 dollar girl works great.

I also like to spend a weekend with a lady on occasion, that 100 dollar/hr gal gives me the ability to do that as well.

You really should spend your hard earned dollar how you want, it is your time and money.  That said, taking pot shots at how others spend their money is a bit coarse, don't you think?  Maybe it is jealousy speaking for you IDK.

But the answer to your question...what is the extra money for?  What extra money?  Like any other comodity...you buy what you want and spend what you want because it fits your desires!

Although I love to got take a spin in a Ferrari on occasion...I would never buy one, but those that do....I don't think the cost difference between the Ferrari and a Camero can be considered EXTRA money!

Myself personally have rates that are a little bit higher for certain reasons. One it give me the ability to be selective of my clientele. I have the time to check and verify referencs. Even If you do have references, I don't always feel that I should have mixed company with a certain type of wamans clientele; Like Women who practice unsafe habbits. I am not saying all cheaper Providers practice unsafely but some of them do.

There are certain things that I look for in my clients. One of them is for them to be somewhat intrested in politics. I like to be able to keep a conversation with them as well as provide extra time on a case by case experience. I like men who want to know a little bit more than what they just read in my ads. Ones who like to explore new things mentally and during encounters. I don't specifically like clients who just like to hit and Run. I prefer clientele that I can laugh with, explore, and get out right dirty if I feel the need. So Yes I rather see 2-3 Gentleman a day a provide a great experience rather than charge less and give a subpar one. Many of my Clients stay additional hours over their time limit free of charge because I am enjoying myself so much.

What is so wrong with that. I charge 300 per hour so I can enjoy a great guy just as much as they are enjoying me. I don't see a problem with that. So to each their own. Many women let you choose them but in actuality with Me I am choosing you.

long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!

Spend what makes you feel good in the overall experience.  Clearly it depends on what you are searching for.  A quick release and one cup or a woman who sensually prolongs the experience for you with tease and please, flirt and f***.

Sassyred

I'm rich, so I'd rather pay (but not overpay) for the better experience and hotter chick!  Just like going to a nicer restaurant!

I doubt there is any way to explain to the OP's satisfaction why many guys see girls with much higher rates than the ones he sees.  He seems satisfied seeing the girls he sees and that's just fine.  But those of us who see more expensive escorts are doing just fine as well, thank you very much!
