Now I guess I'll answer the actual question. Sorry, Gallop.

I guess the market isn't really there for male providers, especially if they're straight, so the price is lower to entice women who may not otherwise pay, to pay. That's my guess. Though I did [virtually] know a male escort in Canada who had a higher hourly rate than I. He didn't do it full time because the business wasn't there, but he did have business.

My vote would be for for #5. As Megan said, women can always find a guy with little to no effort and in the 1 in a 100 case were they just want someone right now, they are just as picky (if not more so) as us guys. Also it is much more difficult for a guy. A guy must have interest in the women in order for the equipment to function properly - it's hard to fake hard.

But hey, if there's a market out there for it count me in!! I'm available for you anytime Megan.

Woman are not thinking about sex 24/7 like men are.  Plus when we do feel the urge, yes usually we can find whatever we want - for free.

Women want something to show for their $400 . . .
