An interesting article but probably not applicable to the Phoenix area. It might work in San Francisco or Dallas where the economy has wide flucuations, but AZ has its own stable economy.

Let's compare SF to AZ. The women in AZ are better looking, better providers, and much better overall. The high end agencies are asking $$$$ and the CL ladies are getting $$. The local economy is  not a factor in whether or not a lady is a provider. We have the best looking ladies at a slightly higher than national average amount.

What else do we get for that? For that amount, we know that the woman we ask for is the woman we get and there is no rip-offs. In SF the rate is lower and the women are slightly less better looking. Rip-offs are more common. The agenices ask for $$$ plus a tip. The CL ladies get $25 and what you get is a crap shot and it costs a lot more to live there!

Differences? It cost less to live in AZ but the hobby costs are higher. The AZ economy is stable and the Bay Area flops around. The providers in AZ are model material and the Bay Area averages a "6" on looks. Rip-offs are more common in CA, Phoenix offers real deals and fewer surprises.

My bottom line... the prostitution index may work in Argentina, Brazil, Washington DC or Topeka; but it doesn't work in Phoenix.

Besides, I once saw a woman that once worked at Smith Barney and her advice was to give all the money to her, not Wall Street!
