- In uncertain times, reduce risk by sticking with those you know and trust.

- If budget is reduced, go with quality vs quantity.  

For the uninformed or the folks who don't think the virus will effect them.  You can see in the postings and the traffic going in and out of hotel/motel parking lots.  

bad enough for me to consider lowering my standards, whether is enjoyment of Premium brands, or hookers.  Trevor got it  right.  Even IF I should have to tighten my belt a little, it just means I choose quality over quantity.  If I have to cut back to two providers a week, I will do it without complaint, but so far, coronavirus has only affected my own business in positive ways, so its possible I will not be affected at all.

Most guys have probably seen ladies at a range of price points (maybe $3-8/hr over the past year for the hypothetically average guy).  That guy may usually see ladies at the $5/hr price point.  Whereas now that guy "trades down" and sees more ladies (many of which he has seen before) at the lower end of the range and/or his range tightens ($3-5/hr).  Maybe or maybe not?  Also, on a related note, how will all of this unemployment (over 3 million filed for benefits last week) impact supply, particularly the sugar bowls?  Will supply increase and demand plummet and rates decrease?  Will more guys migrate from higher priced escorts to lower priced sugar babies?

My habits have not changed.  Still seeing same qty. (once or twice a week) staying within my price range. I consider I am in the middle range as to what I spend.   Staying Away from lower end websites and staying with my regulars.  I am witnessing some new UTR Ladies, mostly laid off younger waitresses. Their rates are more favorable now but may change later.  I think in the short run rates will trend south, but will reverse once the economy starts to regenerate.

I don't see many Johnny Walker reds going to Pappy 25. Similarly, those that can afford the really higher brands don't go down to drinking crap, unless they're alcoholics and will drink anything and lost everything in the markets.

I'm in the 3-5 range. I've tried higher range, and found it not worth it. Also, not going to date crack whores either for $50. One can just visit that other USA board and visit the B'more section to know what I mean...good grief.

Once things go back to normal, I don't see people switching "brands". Maybe guys might move to Agency girls as they are less expensive and basically the same as Indy's but lower price point. A number of girls were agency girls that went indy and charging at least twice as much more. Sasha Stolin, for example.
