Seattle

Re:an interesting point and a question !

I have to say I personally base it on the market of the town.  Looks as we know is subjective.  From my perspective, to justify the higher price, the looks and service would go hand in hand and not just one or the other.

In answering the question of someone who charges 100-150, I would hope they are just one-uping the competition although as you pointed out they may lacking in the looks department.

Rates will always be a controversial subject because the clients want to pay less and the providers want to make more.  In the present economy, this is even more prevalent.  But as you pointed out, when someone comes in from out of town clients are lined up, cash in hand.  Indulging in this hobby is definitely a luxury item, and people will differ in their priorities on how to spend their money on it.

I'm planning to visit Seattle in late summer on holiday and have begun to consider having some appointments while I'm there.  It would be a great help with my planning to know if there is any demand.  I'm not sure but I imagine my rates are high for the area so I would understand if there is not.

Any feedback gratefully received :)

Thank you!!

ps: I guess I should say the rates would be my normal London rates ie starting $500/hour

No disrespect to you, but your rates are way above the normal rate here.  Obviously you're free to charge what you see fit but this is something you may want to consider.

Thanks for your comment Lapdawg :)

I realise that may be the case which is why I've asked.  If my rates are too high then I'll just visit Seattle on holiday.  If there is demand then I will see some clients.

I didn't mean to dissuade from attempting to provide in this area, I may not be one to indulge in your company but as Maya pointed out there some that will.

Good luck and have a nice holiday here.

When deciding a lady's rate, does one make that decision based on the market of the town they are located in or should a lady base her price on her looks ?  and of course, i would think the face should be beautiful to charge the higher rates.  am i off base?  and also should the services (or lack thereof) be a factor then added into the body presentation.

thus my question :  if someone offers a $100/hour or $150/hour rate, do we assume that they are fat and ugly?  or are they just trying to "one up" the higher priced ladies?

RATES seem to be the talk of the town lately.  is there one certain formula to use?  i have tried to figure it out to no avail.  i hear clients screaming "LOWER RATES" then when someone comes from out of town with a rate such as this one, the VERY SAME clients are lined up at her door.

comments?

I can't claim to be an authority, but it seems to me that the laws of supply and demand are once again at work. A visiting lady with a great reputation might be able to claim a higher fee simply beause her availability is very limited.......hence a small supply. That same woman, if located in town, providing the same services 5-6 days per week, 40 weeks per year, is less likely to get that same high fee because her availability is much greater than if she was onluy in town for 3 days in a year. Maybe not the only explanation but probably a part of it.

Your rates are high for Seattle, but about what I expect when I am on vacation in Las Vegas.  I have not read your reviews but they would probably determine how much demand you encounter.  In either case, enjoy your visit to Seattle.
