When referring to high-end providers it’s not just the price of admission that makes them high-end it’s the service in my opinion they provide a top tier service.

The quality of the entire experience defines high-end for me.  

has a more practical approach.  If she can bend over and grab her ankles while holding her ass in the air for standing doggy, that's the only kind of "high-end" I'm interested in.  

Are considered at a 1K price point.  Now that doesn't mean the service u get is 1K service.  But price point is all a guy has to go on when first searching.  It always is one of the first things along with ratings.  Service is considered once u find ladies for the latter considererations.    Myself, I would never see a 1K lady no matter what the service level is.  And I can certainly afford to.  Also, a 350 guy may consider 700 as a high end lady.  There is no real standard answer.

A luxury hotel that she's not sharing with another provider  
Her hair, makeup, nails, and skin are flawless.  
A short tight dress,  heels,  and lacy lingerie.  

you are the only man she has ever known or cared about, at least until you walk out the door.

A high end provider is going to target the rich upper class... Or anyone with an upper class income. So at a minimum her rates will be high. This appeals to the class conscious clientele who don't want to be sharing access with the hoi poloi. Her own personal view of class status may or may not align with her business plan.

Very well prepared for sessions.  Top end hotels.  A good personal ad website.  Top notch in terms of looks and services in reviews.

used by providers trying to justify their higher rates or by clients trying to justify paying those higher rates.

I find it interesting because some of you think that a provider who is $400-500 an hour should only cater to 1 client a day, but you also expect a 3-4 star hotel. How is that possible when you’re not paying for her hotel. The price of a nice hotel is expensive AF. Plus, you don’t want to give a deposit.

You can be sure she's not and has no clue what it is.
Also, "highly reviewed," an utterly meaningless term and most can't even tell you what it actually means.

What about "New and Improved!"? Like toothpaste or laundry soap, just put the same product in a new container with a "New and Improved" LABEL and increase the price. It works for them.

I think it depends on the person obviously, some people feel like high end is above $500/$600 others above $1,000. For me, it would be anyone over the $600 mark and they need to check off all boxes.  
* Looks (at least a 9), can range from the model look to pornstar to girl next door but have to be a 9 in my eyes.  
* Manicure, pedicure, hair, makeup
* Nice hotel, but most providers already stay at nice ones at this price range
* Performance is key. GFE and kinky. Should satisfy the client with reasonable requests. Any extras should be on the menu as well.

come with less than high review scores which is a contradiction, so I agree "highly-reviewed" means little to me.  However, no reviews is worse.  

So, I agree with others that rates, itself, doesn't really indicate the quality of service or companion, etc.  With that being stated, I've noticed a difference between the companions I've met who tend to offer a higher rate than the handful I've spent time with that don't.  Within the past couple years, I've spent more time with companions who charge $1k+/hr than who charge less than that.  Two companions with rates under the $1k "mark" come time mind with whom I've had remarkable, incredible and memorable experiences with.  Given their rates, I've been able to book longer sessions, which means I get to spend more time with them.  They are both absolutely fantastic and have no problems recommending them to anyone.

the actual "substance" that makes for a high-end date, but I would add that when you go north of $1000/hr, I would also expect her to be DDG.  However, even in the rate-stratosphere, there is no guarantee that the service level will justify the price, but if I'm getting everything else on your list, and she is beautiful, I can probably live with average service.  

I've seen ladies who were IRL models, who looked like they just stepped out of a VS catalog,  and who was hosting in a 4-star hotel. And of course--these days--many who charge 800 for an hour of their time.  

...a very good Brazilian Butt Lift.

Agree. I was going to make a similar post earlier but then held off. To me the term really applies in a context and for me that would be when talking about service pricing -- that is "X is at the high end...."
 

You expect a provider to have snacks at her incall location?   I had never thought of that. lol

Snacks is a clever idea for a provider.  It consumes time, often at the beginning where you are nibbling or drinking rather than involved in any physical activities.  So she gets a break and can watch you eat.

Many providers do it.  You book two hours and after a glass a wine and some fruit and cheese, you are still dressed and an hour is gone.  It's an automatic "no-repeat" for me.  You would think they would figure it out when guys don't hurry back to see them.

to make up for the social time at the beginning, that will set you apart from the others who are looking for any way to put off doing what the customer came there for.  Do you specify on your website that you are not a clock-watcher?  

of clientele you prefer now that you are so full of yourself, but I was EXACTLY the kind of clientele you wanted when you were starting out. . . . . . I'm easy going and not demanding in a session.  I'm still a generous tipper.  You are one of a few dozen ladies who have posted on these boards who I have seen who did not know I became CDL.  They don't care much for the CDL persona I use for posting, but in person, they all loved me and asked me to come back.  Sometimes I did and sometimes I didn't.  Nothing has changed from when I saw you MANY years ago, except now I'm richer and you are older.  Do you see the irony in saying I'm not your type?  Lol

I have been known to flame lots of people here and I'm sure none of them liked it.  Most were fellow mongers but some were providers. But I don't think you'd find a single girl I've spent intimate time with who didn't find me pleasant, considerate and a lot of fun to be with. I also always show up clean and with a full envelope.

A quick review of a recent “high end” session! She meets me at the door in a short silk robe and sheer lingerie! She approaches me like a mistress I haven’t seen in weeks, going deep with DFK while grabbing my crotch! I return the love! She takes me through her one br apartment to walk-in closet where she continues to kiss me while stripping me, going right to teasing bbbj!   She misses my body… loves my cock (LOL!)… We shower together.. she massages my shoulders, moves in behind for genital and frontal massage, then I turn and she kneels for Russian, we do p to p front and rear! Next to br! She has a small couch and a long narrow padded bench, sufficient play space for our romp that follows! I move the bench away from the bed! We bounce between three sites; couch bench and bed for teasing foreplay and athletic sex! She’s on her back on the bench while I maneuver above her! She comes more than once as we tangle! We end up in more intimate positions on bed where I eventually finish in her mouth! She gets us water while we talk vacations and golf! Another shower and she sends me off with a kiss and a hug, and some small treats!  She asks me not to wait so long next time! Price: Very low! Value: Priceless!

Providers don't seem to know how to look at the sum total of a monger's posts and make a determination of whether he is a potential customer or not.  They tend to take the occasional flame or view friendly arguments mongers have amongst themselves as indicative of who we are in real life. They lose business every day because of this.  Like you, I have never had a session where the provider did not tell me she would like to see me again. I do know some guys who never hear this, so the ladies don't say it to everyone.  Lol

it is an attempt to justify a higher rate.  

When I first got started in this hobby $150-$200 was about the going rate for an hour.  $300-$400 was definitely the higher end provider and $500 was elite.  There are so many factors that went into all of this back then and all of that has sure changed over the years.  

I don't know if I am repeating anybody above (that I skipped over), but some of this depends on when you started and how your income, disposable income, and discretionary income have grown.
.
In general, hobbies are considered to be discretionary spending. If the hourly cost of your hobby (stamp collecting, bird watching, other) has doubled over, say, 10 years, that might exceed the growth in your discretionary spending budget.
.
How has your Gross, Dispo, and Discretionary changed over the years?
For most, Gross has increased (I'm using Gov Stats to say ~50% increase),
.
I am GUESSING that taxes and necessary expenses have probably increased by more than 50% since 2010 biting into Discretionary Income. Taxes, property taxes, mortgage, school, utilities, food, clothing, ... take a larger share than before. I'm making up percentages, below.
.
Consequently, Discretionary income as a percentage of gross has DECREASED in the past 10+ years so a doubling of the cost of stamps, bird watching or other hobby means that we do less of it.
.....
12 years ago (Gross Income from Gov Stats)
2010 Gross Income X (assume 68,000)
Taxes, essentials ... (assume 80% of gross), leaving
Discretionary income = 0.2 X (13,600)
.  
2022 Gross Income 1.5 X (68,000 in 2010 is now 102,000, an increase of 50%)
Taxes, essentials, ... (assume it is now 85% of gross), leaving  
Discretionary Income 0.15 x 102,000 = 15,300
.
Gross went up ~50% (68000 to 102000)
DISCRETIONARY went up only 12.5% (13,600 to 15,300)
.
The numbers and and percentages I picked will differ for everybody. Everybody on TER is different. There a bunch of very wealthy guys with high incomes who aren't feeling that pinch. Some guys have paid off their mortgages and now have MORE discretionary income. The numbers above are just to show that discretionary income for "average" (what is average? I don't know!) hobbiers probably has not increased along with gross income.  
.
Hence, a doubling of hourly costs probably means a decrease in activity.  
.
WHERE ARE THE FREAKONOMICS GUYS WHEN WE NEED THEM?

In 1990, Edward offered Vivian $3k for a week.  
Of course, she was a street walker.

"High-end" is any rate above what I'm willing to pay for the offered value.

Interesting to read everyone’s opinions. While I would agree that the “high end” providers will typically come with high price tags (also relative), there may also be a method behind that madness as pricing does heavily influence the type of dates and clients that one attracts.  

Very well stated!

Now thats a lady who "gets" it.
