Is it just me or has this recession taken a toll on others as well. A lot of touring girls come to town with a 4 or 5 $ price tag. I simply can no longer afford such a luxury. The 3 $ is hard enough and even then I have cut back. I am not trashing anyone for what they charge, that is thier business. I was just wondering if others feel the crunch as I do and have to do nothing but look and drool over what I can no longer have!

The recession has definatley taken a toll on me seeing ladies. I've had to unfortunatley pass on a lot of girls I would love to have seen.
I'm looking at booking my first session for the year within the next week or two. Price is definatley more of a factor now.

I have to assume that the higher priced service providers wouldn't be charging what they are unless there are still guys out there willing to pay it. If that's the case more power to them. But there are still plenty of great girls out there in the $$1/2-$$$$ range I'm looking to stay in these days.

I'd say the key for guys like us patience. It's just like "real" dating. Just relax, keep your eyes open and be illing to ait long enough and the RIGHT girl for you will come along.

But the Porn Stars will have to wait untill I got deeper pockets again!

Its not just you...  It has affected everyone..  I too have cut back and can no longer consider the 400.00 date..  the 250.-300. with a gratuity is already in the 3-350. range.  And the frequency has affected many of us. Some, can continue as always..God bless Them !!!

provider too are feeling the pinch from those I have talked too..  
it just sucks out there !!!

Many guys are not hobbying at all, or have cut way back to  low life CL/ Back Page girls.  Most providers are hurting, but few will admit it. Many girls are offering discounts via email because they don't want to admit their biz sucks.

More saving, less spending.

Don't feel bad about having to see ladies less often or at a lower price tag.

My advice, be sure to keep in touch with a least a couple of ladies and save up to see them. In these hard times being a good regular will definitely pay off. Perhaps next time she has a windfall or even before then, she will offer discount for your loyalty.

I have done this for a few of my regulars and they are happy they can still see me. I still have the opportunity to make money and see the guys I really like.

This way it's win-win.

As a provider economy has played a huge part in decreased business over the last year.  However I have been around for many years, and I appreciate all the times clients were able to pay full price and have dropped me large tips, therefore I throw specials, or offer discounted rates to enable guys like you to still be able to afford a good hobbying experience with a well reviewed provider such as myself and other local ladies.


I have been fortunate enough to have a great clientel base of regular clients, so I don't really have to post my schedule and I still remain busy.  However I must admitt, as other ladies can agree, it sure isn't like it used to be....lol....

The one thing that does piss me off though is how guys complain about economy, then post a "TOFTT' time after time and again, wasting their $ on these CL skanks, when they could just save their $ from TOFTT, and have a great time with us local girls who do offer discounts and such...

BUY LOCAL FELLAS!!!!  xo Jade

We are seeing an increase in enrollments and applications to colleges around the US. That means the family guys have to cut back on the hobby or don't hobby at all especially when they are expected to contribute at 20K a year their children education.

I've recently noticed provider ads pop up offering 90min rates at between $50 and $100 more than 60 minute rates.  In the current economic climate, are any of you willing to pay more for the extra time or are have you kind of set a max ceiling on how much you are willing to pay regardless of time.  I fall in the later category.  

As far as CL is concerned, I've found a couple of diamonds in the rough over there that have provided similar services as girls costing $300-$350.  Just be upfront and honest in what you want before donating... ask what the restrictions are, if they aren't unwilling to list them, then be prepared to politely walk away.  I found eros to as loaded up with B&S providers as CL.

good point Jade.... and BTW   your rate is very reasonable considering what the session is like !!!

Thanks for the input. At least I am not alone!!

The issue is ladies who do not want to wake up and smell the coffee. Starbucks is even cutting back.  Some of these ladies don't realize to get real and cut us a deal.

I compare it to the auto industry.  They would rather go out of business before giving substantial discounts.  Give us a break ladies.  LOWER LOWER !!

I myself have stopped traveling throughout the winter because it’s no longer cost effective for me.
Hopefully things will get better or stabilize. Not sure that will happen either with all the trillions of dollars going no where near our pockets.

iTS just you!!!  Yes times are tough for all. If your financial situation has changed and you can't afford the price than it's time you found another hobby. I find it pathetic when a 'man' comes on here and whines about the economy and what providers charge. Walk into any store, and restaurant, doctors office, service station etc, tell them you can't afford one of their products or services because of the economy, and you know what they will say? You can't pay, you don't play. Having said that, what makes a provider's services any different? Get over it and start saving your pennies, drool over those pics it's free!! A real man would never discuss his finances, or lack of finance. Be a man and keep your mouth shut, when you have the money make an appointment, and another thing, don't gripe to a provider about finances, honestly I doubt they give a shit what you could afford. welcome to the real world buddy

Yes, the economy has taken a toll on just about everyone.  I see most girls lowering their prices an average of $50.  Don't worry about neverlover's comments, she obviously has a problem with these types of questions and the word "man".
