what makes a provider worth $1k ?.  have seen many ladies less than $500 that were outstanding, so why the extra $$

Or perhaps it's to attract guys rich enough to "fall for a hooker and can't get up?

 
I am sure the rest of the class can think of a LOT more reasons to comment on this old, tired theme.  

Or maybe you really do "get what you pay for" and a thousand dollar hooker really is twice as good as a five hundred dollar hooker and five times as good as a gal who only charges two hundred?

Perceived value, plain and simple. There are guys who can easily afford it, actually enjoy spending it, and perceive additional value....so why not. And if that's the realm a provider wants to work in, she can and should.  

As you say there are equally beautiful engaging providers in the 300/hr range- it may take a bit some patience and perseverance to find them.

Brand, narcissism (not necessarily bad), location, , exclusiveness, opportunity, and market value.  Provider X charges 1K to 2K and Provider Z charges $400.  What separates Provider X from Provider Z when they both perform the same acts?  Provider X may only want to spend time with clients that are wealthy enough in her mind to afford said services, while provider Z could give two fucks less as long as you found some way to come up with the prescribed amount.  Bottom line, 1K per hour sex is no better than $200 per hour sex.  At the end of the day it's there to serve its purpose, to make you cum and feel great about yourself.  

Also agree with GaGambler, this is a reoccurring topic just recently visited last week.  Let it die.

none of you could afford any of us. Instead we charge what our desired clientele is willing to pay. Some ladies like the company of men who are willing and able to pay $1000 per hour. Other ladies find enjoyment catering to gentlemen in the $500 range. Lots of ladies like the no pressure experience of hanging out with clients who are comfortable at $250.  

There is something for every taste and every budget. Just like there is with many other things that we spend our money on. Personally I don't see the difference between a $20,000 car and an $80,000 car. Both of them get me to the grocery store in the same manner. But some people feel better about driving a more expensive car even if a more economical one can get you where you are going.  

We all have personal reasons why we place value on things. Worth is very subjective. Find the value that you personally place on an erotic experience and shop in that range. Some value it a lot some very little

We are paying for service, not the total worth. The price of services is determined by several factors such as supply and demand, AND what people are willing to pay. The "mindset" that clients can't afford me (a form of GPS) is a fast way to go out of business, if you set your prices based on that logic, since most people won't agree with your hypothesis that your pussy is made of gold.

Nah, just fucking with you, of course you're right about this. lol

and might I add, $750 hr is a "golden pussy" at a grand an hour you have entered "platinum" territory, but hey if a lady can get that kind of rate, good for her. That's the beauty of this country, I know everyone thinks I am overpaid as well, and quite frankly I probably am.

One last thing, I completely agree the "take away" pitch, IOW "you cant afford me" by no means attracts me to a woman, no more than I have any desire to "impress" a waiter by ordering a thousand dollar bottle of wine. Some people respond to this type of marketing, others don't. I also liken it to women who shop on Rodeo drive and who actually spend more money in an attempt to earn the respect of rude salespeople. Fucking Yuppies, they think if something costs more, it has to be better.

I definitely respond to this type of marketing ... and it's not pretty. I'm quite happy with the 300 hr providers. There is a 200 hr provider who rocks my world quite well. I'll splurge on a 400 hr provider once in awhile, but I like her as a person and as a provider. I don't go past 400 hr providers because of the whole "diminishing returns" thing - Econ 101

What someone is willing to pay is what determines what you are "worth "  plain and simple.  To give the impression that every client you see is not paying you what you are worth in my opinion even lowers what your worth.

 This answer in simple terms is just that , the only difference between a 1k and $500 provider is that some client(s) out there are willing to pay that amount for her time. If a provider is able to get 1k for her services then good for her, it is not her fault but the client(s) that have paid her 1k that she would be out of reach to a majority of other people.

The Bentley will have better quality materials, most certainly when it comes to the interior. The appointments will be better. There is definitely a difference between a Bentley and a Buick.  

Can a $1000 provider fuck better than a $300? I don't know. For that kind of price multiple there would have to be some things that a $300 provider just doesn't offer. In looking at ads for $1000 providers, I don't know what those things might be.

If you think about it thou this is different then that. Plenty of $300-$500 providers will offer you just as much pizzaz as a 1k one would. Unless the 1k provider offers you more like a fancy room, maybe a souvenir or even dinner and such that she provides then you have to simply compare it as a service not a physical item.

I once read that there is no such thing as a $1k escort however, there are $1k clients. Price depends on so many variables. The level of sophistication, education, appearance, etc but even those qualities aren't guaranteed. I agree with poster that mentioned  perception. I think that matters most because price doesn't automatically determine a woman's value. You could find comparable qualities in a $500 escort as you could in a $1k escort. I would deem my worth much higher than my listed rate but realistically, other people might not perceive my worth the same. Then you have those in precarious situations who might not be fortunate enough to wait on those $1k clients and need a steady steam of clients to maintain their lifestyle. So so so so many things to consider. I'm pretty new to this but based off my research, this is what I've concluded.

but there are a LOT of $500 hookers or even $300 women who re-label themselves as a $1,000 "exclusive, high end provider" Same woman, same service, different price for the guy who wants to "feel good about himself" by spending more.

Any one who doubts me only has to look at former MS TER JLS/Corrine/GallopingGourmet. The very same woman, but charging several different rates.

If you want to put it to the test, put up an ad somewhere with some ridiculous rate attached to it and see if anyone bites. I bet you at least someone does.

and for the record, it's not just clueless newbies, there are a lot of clueless veterans around here who still think that they are getting more by paying more, and this is after years of being here.

The corollary is that if you have a rate too low for your area, you will be considered lower quality or lesser in some way and will get more unsavory contacts rather than desirable ones.  Rates have gone up in my area, and although I don't *need* to increase rates, I will if I see a drop-off in quality of contacts (which, of course I can screen out, but it's more work).

And for the women who have high prices - they have done exactly what Forbes has advised - position themselves as a top-end provider.  Assuming they are good (and they will lose business if they aren't), they will be able to maintain that image. You guys should be impressed at their business savvy; they are following the example of many successful brands.

at some of the women who think they deserve high roller rates, yet they are no different looks or service wise than a 200 an hour girl. I have to deal with applicants every day and I am shocked. A luxury companion, should be, just that, a LUXURY. I think it's safe to say above a certain price point, there's a certain level of service, attitude, looks, any several things that should make them luxury, high roller companions. I had one provider I worked with that made every appointment an experience, she used to ask me a million questions about every client, hated being a clock watcher, set the ambiance for client, spent an hour getting ready for each one and she was exceptional in service.  

There are a few I work with, who are worth high roller rates, and offer a true GFE experience. I am just befuddled what some ladies believe they should be paid hourly, yet they offer nothing and do nothing to take care of themselves.  

Through one of the companions I picked up, she has several private clients, that have never heard of these hobby boards, they don't read or write reviews and they book multi hours these clients pay over 1,000 an hour and book multi hours with her every time. I also encountered a few ladies that charged over 1000 an hour and had zero reviews, sadly they were too rich for my blood.

If you are seeing a $1000 escort, you can probably assume she's seeing fewer clients overall.  And though money isn't a perfect barrier to lowlifes and undesirable clients, it's probably a pretty decent filter.

Look at it further down the price line.  What's the difference between a $300 escort and a $100 street walker?  Quite a bit.  The difference is going to be more pronounced at that range, but the concept still stands.  By going to the higher price point, you are among a generally higher class of clientele.  

This is by no means 100% accurate.  Hugh Grant was caught with a street walker.  Thugs have been known to make serious bank.  But in general, people who can afford to drive Bentlys are educated, successful, and cultured.

And if you are seeing someone attractive enough and professional enough to maintain a client base at that price, she's likely going to provide a consistent, enjoyable experience.  There are $300 escorts who have rocked my world, and $600 escorts who have let me down.  But percentage wise, I've been disappointed more often at the lower price point.

Your $300 escort is going to need to take more clients per day/week/month in general too (depending on her circumstance and reason for working, naturally).  So if you are the only client of the day, you are probably likely to get a better experience than if you are the 3rd of the day, or the 10th of the weekend.  

So, to recap, you are seeing a professional who entertains professional clients on a selective basis.  That's worth the higher price to many who can afford it

I've seen several providers who are all between $300-400 an hour (for one hour--less per hour for longer dates) and are all 9-10 in appearance and 10 in performance. They're beautiful, have perfect or near-perfect bodies, great personalities, have broad menus, seem to really enjoy their work, and are in short a joy to be with. I really don't know what more I'd gain from spending 2-3x as much. Maybe the ability to get up close and personal with a noted porn star, but that doesn't float my boat.  

I'm not disparaging providers who get $1000/hr (more power to 'em!) or clients who pay that much (it's their money).  I just haven't figured out the value prop for myself to go outside the $300-400/hr range.

For one thing, price is an important marketing statement. If we charge $25 for a 15-minute quickie, that says one thing about us. If we charge $1k/hr, that says another. Both types of marketing will attract a particular type of clientele....

It's also about the type of client she wants to attract. She wants to attract the type of client who spends a lot to get something of exceptional quality (or, at least what he thinks is exceptional quality). She doesn't want to see the guy who'll say, 'Meh, I'd never pay more than $300 because pussy is pussy.' She wants to see the guy who'll say, 'I'd prefer to spend more on somebody who's exceptional.'

Also, $500/hr (in some markets) is more of a mid-range rate...in NYC, $500/hr could easily equal 3+ appointments per day. Not quite as likely with $1k...for a lady who has other obligations and prefers to work less, she might price herself accordingly.

I believe that woman who charge lower amounts want more clients (but not to many) because they enjoy the interaction. Many of the $1000 girls are gorgeous, self-centered and somewhat mechanical. There are exceptions. The funny thing is that some men don't think they are getting value unless they pay a ridiculous amount

So. If a hooker is in a situation where she can charge more?

I still kick myself to never seeing them when they were new.

It doesn't make sense but its luxury marketing. Thing is every female body is different so in a sense every woman has a monopoly over her own body, kind of like how Louis Vuitton has a monopoly over LV bags... Leather bags are in abundance but for some reason LV bags command much higher prices. We can say the same for providers and pussy in general.  

For me personally I am more satisfied with 200-300/hr college girls than the 25+ providers commanding higher prices. Maybe my taste will change as I get older, I don't know.  

Many of us fail to realize just how much money is now in the American upper-middle class and above. Call them the one percent, whatever you will, they have purchasing power much much much much much higher than the middle class. 1000 is a drop in the ocean for them, their lawyers and accountants likely charge more

it is nothing to do with the lady it is based on the type of client you want to see and how much of this work you want to take over your life. The more you charge the more of your life you have to put into being a working girl. I have met some stunning girls in an incall agency chrging £60 for half an hour, flipping gorgeous but they show up make their money and go and do not have any of the hooking life interfere with their life beyond those 6 hours in one day, no calls, no emails, no clients calling them at 2am.
