If a guy's primary interest is the "what" I'd guess there's not much worth going above 300.  The same basic menu items are going to be available.

It's often the looks and/or personality (that captures a lot of things) that allows some to ask and get a higher stipend.  At that point it becomes very subjective.

I've found I can usually get all the attributes I need and stay 300 and below, but I've sometimes wanted to see a particular provider who's a bit above that.  I thought some were worth it and some were not.

for you. Everyone has their own comfort zone.

Try reading a lot of reviews, or PMing guys with specific questions about ladies you find attractive.

I never see any one over my budget but I see many posts for 4-500/hr
To anyone who has been there-is it worth the extra$$$?

in my experience. It really depends what you are looking for. It's not always true that you get what you pay for but it's true often enough that it's a point worth considering.

There's this lovely lady who's getting ready to board a plane now on her way here. Not too far, and she is booked with other boys.

But, I'm her first appointment and only client of the day.

We're gonna go 'shopping', play and have dinner. Not necessarily in that order.

And it's gonna cost me a HELL of lot more than $300.

Bet your ass she's worth it!

Oh! News flash. Got a text she just boarded....!

Mikey's gonna have fuuun!!!!

For me the over $300 has been where I usually find the experience that I am looking for. The difference to me is the $300+ ladies seem to be able to "connect" with me. By connect I don't mean the physical action but the mental. Not saying there have not been busts on $300+ ladies or that  I have not had "connection" with under $300 ladies,  just that the bullseye is at 90+% with $300+ and and at 25% with under $300.

For me, a feeling of a personal connection. Intimacy as well as sex.  This seems to take someone who is either inclined to such connections or a good actress or both.  Also there is some you get what you pay for in the looks department

Obviously, my preferences are not universal.

That's what you get!

There are no guarantees in this hobby business at any price whatsoever! I have read people getting ripped off on the Porn Star board.

Porsche worth the extra money..HELL YES!!!

I recently visited with two ladies both I scored a 10.  One was $$$ the other $$$$.  They were both worth it!

The most beautiful provider I've seen was a little over $300. Now she's at $500 and I'll see her again at that price. She's just that good looking. She's also got great skills, but that's less of a factor. I'll pay more for someone attractive than someone skilled.

have me 90% there on sight. The remaining 10% is performance, but even if she comes up short on that, I savor the looks and having been with her. There is nothing better than daty on a drop dead gorgeous looker.

I don't book anyone unless I am sure we would mutually enjoy each other's company and that the woman is someone I can admire and respect for things outside the bedroom. I'm funny that way.

Sometimes such ladies charge less than $300, sometimes more than $300. As long as it is within my budget, I don't really differentiate on that basis.

For me it's about the whole person; not her looks specifically, menu, etc. There is no one thing that for me justifies a particular cost. Rather, it is the whole person impressing me as someone I want to know; and at that point, as long as she fits within my budget, I'll book her when I can.

You have a tendency to see agency ladies, for one hour engagements.  Nothing wrong with that,if it works for you, then cool.

My experiences are mostly with the ladies in the range you are asking about, and are independents.  Looking at it strictly from a sexual point of view, I probably could have saved $ using your approach.  But seeing indies is a different experience, potentially.  There are social networks out there that exisit as a result of the TER, and the hobby.  If you limit yourself to agencies, you may not be able to join those circles.  By becoming friends with the original indie I first started out with, as well as lovers, I eventually was invited into those circles.  And found that I was was welcome.   Since then, I have met numerous other ladies worth seeing (and have!), and many of the hobbyists that post here.   If that is something you aspire to, your current approach will not likely succeed.

that up to 400 it is well within reason to see a real improvement, but maybe only 50-50. Beyond that, I am sure there are many providers worth it, but I would be willing to say that the percentage that make it so is significantly less.

Comparing to cars...

Do you pay 30k for a V6 Accord... 35k for a Hyundai Genesis... 40k+ Nissan/Toyota... Infiniti/Lexus... BMW/MB...

Much of what you really pay for is exclusivity and the appearance of wealth. Not any real improvement in comfort or performance.

I am still the same person and provide the same style and quality of service that I did when I was at a much lower rate and time minimum, and there are PLENTY of other ladies with rates much lower than mine who are just as fantastic at what they do. Whether or not someone wants to see *me in particular* is usually the deciding factor in discerning if my current higher rate is worth it or not. It doesn't have much to do with acronyms or my stunningly good looks or anything like that; it seems to me it's really more of a personality/compatibility issue.

And does decent homework I think the 300+ providers are less risk, more a known that an unknown.

A lot of the guys writing unhappy reviews about a high priced provider seem to have fixated on the photos and not done their HW about what a session with her was like (just going by what they write).

The other point validly made is about porn stars.  They fall in the 300+ range for a very different reason than most other high priced providers.  Don't think you can put them in the same category and expect the same kind of meeting.

Just last nite I met my third $$$$$$$ provider. I can't do this all time, but EVERY time was Mind-Blowing. Granted, I was looking to see the very, very best and I was thrilled.

I've also had $$$ and $$$$ and felt I got ripped off.  

It's all relative.  Sure, $$$ will get all the same abbreviations as $$$$$ or $$$$$$$. But $20 will buy a Timex......not a Rolex. They both tell time, but they are not the same!!!!

For me it's about value for money spent. I have spent $300 before and felt it was not worth it. On the other hand, there are some at $500 and even $700 that were worth every single penny. The expectation bar does go up as the price goes up. The odds that a $1,000 night may not be worth it is a little more likely than a $250 night - but both have the potential to be a good "value".  Usually, the higher priced dates are better experiences but not always so there is definitely a "value" curve. Like fine wine, fast cars.....  
If I am spending longer time and treating myself I think the higher priced girls with great reviews are worth every penny  - for a quick hour - you can find some great values at $200 - $300.
