Much like the 'no piece of ass threads....' that have been around since the beginning of time so have the discussions about the different 'class of provider/escort/hooker (I.e. What makes a woman high end/low end). Within those topics, I've seen so many debates (and fights!) on the class (as in structure) topic during which I've seen both women AND men exude a bit of elitism ('I would never sell/buy at that price point') in equal parts. I'm surprised to see on another thread here men judging one another on WHY they are buying sex as though one reason has more credibility than the other. Seriously, why? Who cares? I've seen many many threads where men judge each other on their price points - but their reasons? Really? To suggest there is an underclass based on motivation is just daft (but it would definitely place a new spin on the proletariat v bourgeoisie class structure!)
What gives? I have my own thoughts but I'd like to hear yours first...

Or in this case the hooker.

A cynic knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

Oscar Wilde said everything. At a press conference, he was asked a question, and gave a particularly witty answer. One reporter said, "boy, I wish I'd said that", to which Wilde quipped, "don't worry. You will."

but I do agree... who cares? I sure don't. BTW, have you been drinking?

Nothing he said will matter 2000 years from now.

With me, I'm likely to say something that will either piss them off or gross them out, so I don't bother with those types. Conversely, when it comes to providers, there IS a limit below which I will not go.

You have to remember we evolved by getting on top of the competition.   Status seeking is part of the competition for mates.  i.e. the peacock with the prettiest feathers.   It's not particularly logical that pretty feathers have anything to do with survival in the wild, yet none the less, animals and humans evolved to fight around such competitive aspects.

Is that why they want to battle me?  

Every lady does business according to her own accord. As far as charging rates, you've got to do what puts food on your own table. There are so many variables/reasons in this industry as to why who does what, and I can only leave it at that.

Only if someone specifically asks me for my .02.
