I often find it interesting how certain providers price themselves.  I have a strong capitalistic approach to all money transactions.  So I often wonder, when looking at various provider's sites, is the lady delusional or actually getting the fee requested?

Women choose their prices and yes they get them. Some of the super high end gals end up dropping their rates, especially if they travel to a different location.  

women have the supply that men need to satisfy that demanding urge to get off. It is natural that if you want or crave something bad enough, you are going to do what it takes to accomplish it. Also men are weak minded and get bored easily, so they are always in search of something better, newer, more exciting etc... even if it means paying 2$$$ @ hour or more.

The basis of simple Micro-economics where the interaction of supply and demand determine price is that demand is homogeneous as well as supply--every consumer wants to buy an identical product, AND suppliers product an identical product.

With the Girl I'm seeing, her Clients don't or can't see her quite as often as they used to. According to what she tells me. When I first had a Session with her I paid her Full Price. As I kept seeing her, now I can pay half of her of Full Price and still get F.S.

You remind me of the old ladies who used to ask me why the steak I was to serve them cost so much.
As soon as I heard bitching about the price?
I knew I would get a shitty tip.

Your reviews indicate you hobby in the Carolinas, I don't hobby there, so I have no idea at what level you think the lady is delusional. Donations vary widely by city and state. My advice, play at a level you can afford and don't worry about what fees a providers requests.

delusional but only because they choose to be.

You buying romance , sensuality given by a beautiful woman ....or a happy meal served by a fugly !  

women who charge nutso rates have another job or a sugar pop. it's not that complicated to figure out. the more you charge the less you work. some want it that way i guess. not a single woman you reviewed even rates an 8 overall. that should answer your question about who is delusional.

That is the essence of being human, oft times.

I suspect that you are interested in a bargain.  For that I can not blame you. In fact, in many ways you are a man after my raised-by-a-depression-era-father, northeast-Yankee-skinflint heart.

So, if you have the time and patience, here's what you should do to satisfy that side of you:

Contact a number of providers you are interested in but make it clear to them you are not interested in paying the amount they state on their sites.  You can offer what you think is right, or ask them to come up with an offer.

You will find that a high percentage won't even bother to respond you.  Of those that do, you will find that the service is probably less than stellar with most, but a few will endeavor out of a feeling of duty to give you their A game.

How long this will take and at what cost, we can only speculate.  Accurate stats for such things just aren't kept.  Should you go forward and report back your findings, I think you will find a receptive audience here.

One problem I have with economists, is that they believe their field is a science akin to physics where they can count on repeatable and predictable responses to given stimuli.

In fact economics is a specialized field of psychology which we know is a lot more complicated than physics owing to the vicissitudes of the human brain. (or lack thereof 8o)

I don't know why economists insist on taking this attitude.  Perhaps they think it somehow enhances their standing as scientists, but I admire the psychologist way more than the physicist.

The latter is more like map maker while the former is more like an explorer.

I can think of only one map maker (Mercator), but I can think of lots of explorers.  One even has a holiday named for him.

I recently had an appointment with a porn star that was 2k plus an hr and it was amazing. She said she makes more escorting than doing movies, she isn't a huge industry name but has been a feature star in 30+ movies over the last 2+ yrs.  
    When I was living in NY in the early 2000's there were a number of ladies charging 900 an hr plus. Based on having to book appointments so far in advance I d say they were doing pretty well then. I guess the way I look at it is if she is overpriced it will limit her business but maybe that's what she wants. Even priced at 5k an hr I imagine she gets some business or else she wouldn't be able to keep a website running ect. Also maybe she has regular or grand fathered in clients that are getting a much different rate. I had a regular in NY that was regularly $900 an hr, but would give OTC time and even free dates fairly often to regulars.  
     In the end it s her business. Regardless of if it works for her or not. I can imagine the clientele changes quite a bit between charging $150 an hr and $1000 an hr. It's a way for a provider to be selective and probably adds some security just by being exclusive. Even if it's just through the fact that you have to see 70% fewer clients to pay your bills each month.  

think you nailed it man. i just cant type that good.

that if you charge an outrageous amount for an item or service and act like you deserve it, some customers will buy into the image that you are selling. Of course, that's only one facet of pricing, and certainly there are providers whose services are clearly worth more than others.

sounds like you might be a little insecure about yourself to make that statement IMO. is it delusional to pay 75k for that new Infiniti? how about 200 for one meal at a high end place? not to the guy making 300k a year it aint. keep driving that honda and let others drive what they want.

to answer your question, No, not necessarily.

Many who advertise 500/h or above prices are the first to POUNCE on an ISO as if it's the first bonified offer in two months. There are also many shrewd gals in their late Dirty-Thirties who have manipulated their way into the 9.0 and above aggregate.  

Others set it low so that they can be the ones who choose.  

Whether it's someone's job or not, it is certainly something that women who do this think about a lot, ok? Do you think they're stupid? Don't call them delusional. Move on, don't judge. I think it's delusional when a guy thinks because he is paying he is to be the center of attention and the only one to be pleased. But that's just me. I'm one of thousands of experiences he can have so if it's not a fit, I prefer to know and move on.  

rather than a cartographer.  In fact it was another cartographer that credited the name to Vespucci.  See the attached.

I get to choose who I see STILL and see less folks; spend more time focused on my personal life and other obligations than answering emails.  

I will try and answer this question w a bit of tact.  

Know and later , okay let's say a 10 year plan ...so 400 , 250 for know 150 towards retirement, 500 know 200 for retirement ? See they don't have a 401k plan , but doubt many invest wisely !! But they should ...but this guy spends 100 and in his area there are a lot of hot girls for around 250 ...however if he is having fun and enjoying himself , the guy spending 400 or more is fucking dumb ? And in a sense , he's correct ! I mean your fucking and leaving correct ???

most ladies in that area are white and over 35, some chubby. you are thin, asian, very mature for your young age, and smoking hot with natural breastisis. you have a niche market as they say. nothing about you is like the other ladies in that area, so they will pay more to be with you. courtney s another one that has a unique look with that short hair.

It's just stupid. I mean, a fuck is a fuck...you are paying for a damn hole, after all.

but I will admit, if I lived in the Carolinas I most likely would become one of her regulars for the very reasons you cite, and I really wouldn't care about the extra couple of bucks.

Two hundreds bucks for an old fat white woman, compared to $400 for a smoking asian, yes the choice would be easy for me

No offense to the "old fat white women" of the Carolinas intended. I am sure some of you are quite lovely.

Triangle area, is a great location for your demographic.  I doubt you would do as well in Miami, LV or LA.

Is that those in high supply (the blonde bombshells, for the most part) are also the ones in high demand and plenty of them command the highest rates. Obviously the hobby falls out of the realm of the typical, but, in my time as a provider, and making friends with others, it always astounds me that those who are, say, more unconventional, aren't always the ones in high demand. It's sort of a slap in the face to everything we know about economics, wouldn't you say? Someone should do a study...

Like the rather average looking hookers from places like NYC who tour down south and still expect to command $500+, and then come on the boards and bash the "cheap hobbyists" in places like Dallas or Atlanta when their phone goes silent.

A woman is free to price herself at whatever price she wants, and as customers the guys are free to either say yes or no to that rate. If a woman can still get work at $1,000 hr or whatever price she puts on herself, then she clearly is not delusional, but when that same woman starts carping about how slow business is, THEN she is delusional, and there are literally hundreds of examples of BSC hookers who are downright delusional about their rates.

That said, I have no idea who or what the OP is talking about, I've seen guys call women who charge "as little" as $400 hr delusional or he could be talking about a porn star who charges $2K

I know that many ladies make a killing touring but I don't need that. It's hard to be a coed in my major and tour. Education trumps everything else.  

Outclass me in many divisions.  

You're about as classy as they come. And to the other fella there are some old chubby women around here just like anywhere else. But there are plenty of smoking hot perfectly built ladies here too.  
Miss Aria is definatly unique only gal I ever met that knew as much about guns and blasting shit as I did and then after that wonderful conversation could totally rock your world!!

Why shouldn't a girl price at $500 or $1,000 if she seeks to be a Tao or Sushi Sanba?  There will be hobbyists that are of serious means that couldn't care less if they are overpaying based on an arbitrary view of value, they just want to have what they perceive to be the best and the yardstick they are using is price.  For me personally it's not that I wouldn't pay $1k for a mindblowing experience, it's that I can't be GUARANTEED that experience and I don't value the possibility that highly...in other words, diminishing marginal returns

My favorite place here is called No Name Bar, because it doesn't have a name, you research how to order, you go downstairs to the basement, not many words just hand the receipt to show what you ordered upstairs and that you paid for it, and you get THE BEST and authentic Thai noodles on this continent with a hint of hipsterdome, all for about $12.

Cool, I Googled it...Brooklyn?  I grew up in the Bronx and then Long Island and I get back to midtown Manhattan every year around March/April but never to Brooklyn, maybe I'll look you up for tour guide (and other) services!

If it is not for you move on.  Not all providers want to entertain everyone who is interested in them.  I turn down calls everyday & have for years now, do to lack of chemistry.  $ is not everything, but when you market yourself at a higher level & require deposits to book your going to cut out a bunch of bs, time wasters & lames.

certain men here 'choose' to hide behind an alias.

How do you know most doesn’t save or use it for a good purpose such as meeting some goal in their lives. I know a few attending universities, really, not lies.

However I also know many who aren't ...its called life , if you believe most of the ladies here can convert cash into long term savings I have a bridge to sell you !  

Darling i think they forget everything that goes into a "Date" 4 star hotels aren't cheap, La Perla lingerie is definitely not cheap, perfumes,candles,nails,hair,sexy dress that isn't slutty= designer dress more money by the time the provider gets her 500 fee she spent at least 350 on trying to impress the CLIENT! And makes a profit of 150 if that, c'mon most of you guys come for a fantasy but don't take into consideration the effort and money that the provider put in SMH
