Have the rates come down a dollar in any marker? Seriously. After reading the slightly deranged post on rates from ST a couple of days ago, and despite the myriad posts over the last year or so (probably one new original post each week), have rates budged downward an inch? I'd really like to know whether the innumerable calls to action (and constant fucking whining) have had any measurable effect.

Pissing and moaning on a fuck board has no real value???
I'm shocked and dismayed. I really thought TER was still the center of the mongering universe and what is said here really means something.

NO.

I haven't seen any discernible decrease at all but no rise either in the last 6 months or so but my subset is just too small of a sample size to make any real determination.

What is your complaining about other people complaining accomplishing? If people want to vent, so what.

I have been $1,500 for 2 hours, since 2017. Everyone bitching about contributions has made me up my 1 hour tribute. If new talent is out her starting at $1k for the hour why should I be any less if I am established & have excellent reviews?

So, you're complaining about my complaining about the complaining?

Who is saying you should be less? Be less, be more, it's not any of our business what you charge. That is a professional and personal decision on how you value your time. People complaining about prices is just normal and very human. We all do it. When a carton of eggs went from $1.30 to $4.00 over Covid, I complained. lol. But the market can charge what they want and I have the right to complain about it. All I ask is that when people complain, they do so respectfully and without insult to the fine women in this line of work that risk quite a bit to offer us gents amazing experiences. Thanks for your time.

I'm beginning to think "ST" in his recent inflated rates thread, and the prior one : https://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/ter-general-board-12/a-provider-posted-my-personal-info-on-twitter-1009959?page=2 , that he actually paid 6k instead of 600 as reported in that thread referencing reddit postings, which he denies. He has scores of reviews, but is raging in these threads, and not abiding by the old TER gentlemanly lingo of calling these escorts 'providers' , instead calling it 'hoes' in a mean-spirited way. And probably still pissed he's out thousands from the time of the earlier thread months ago. With that many reviews and visits, it just makes more sense to me it wasn't just a one-off 600 visit that a client john seeing scores of providers could more easily write-off if a subpar session.

People have been complaining about rates since TER started..  And always will.  And it won't change the rates and never will.  

EOM

I agree with you.

are the Kgirl rates in Seattle.  From $400 to $350 in the past year, but these are attributable to increased competition in that market segment.  To answer your question, they did NOT come down a dollar, but rather $50, so no, I have not seen rates come down a dollar in any market.  

U are so right.  I am one of the first members of TER.  Back in the day (20+ years ago), guys were complaining about Morgan Ashley's rate.  Which at the time was 400 per.  Look, rates are the rates.  I don't know of any lady who is going to reduce their rates just cuz.  Just move on and find some lady in your price range.  Quite frankly, so tired of hearing about this.

Last woman I met up with was back in October 2022.  She had a reasonable rate of $300.  I asked her about rates going up with other ladies.  She laughed and said it was a crock.  She keeps her rate and travels within a 2 hour radius, Detroit, Toledo, Fort Wayne, KZoo, etc.  Does great with repeat customers because she isn't always raising her rate and gets many guys who are turned away by the $500 and up crowd.  Again these are local ladies, not flying in from NY or LA.  

"It is what it is," so everyone should stick to a hobby they can afford.  I moved to providers from my last hobby, which was flying small airplanes, and I'm saving all kinds of money by choosing pussy over planes.  Two hours flying an airplane costs more than two hours with my dick in a pussy.  

if it flies, floats or fucks, rent it.

What suitable alternatives are there for those of us who can’t afford high priced escorts yet still crave some action from time to time? This is something that should be pondered.

A smart way which might help rates from going up as much is to curb the tendency some have for clothing fetishes, which might cost a considerable amount to purchase. Chances are that you will see what’s underneath anyway. I seldom really partake because I am not in the income range to support it, but do not believe I have ever asked for specific garments.

Girls like to dress up in lace not simply because guys like it.
What next? Hookers without Loubies? LOL!

Crazy because I do not refer to myself as a hooker, nor do I own a pair of red bottoms.  

that was "working" her way through UCLA and had her own incall set up near the University.  She knew the value of social time in cultivating regulars, especially professional men, so she had a two-tiered price structure to encourage two-hour bookings.  If you booked two hours with her at her regular rate of $400/hr (seven years ago), she would go out with you afterward for another two hours for $75/hr extra.  This is the only time I ever met a provider who had such a dramatic difference between BCD time and social time, so I booked the four-hour date once a month for a little over a year until she graduated to moved to London for a job she was offered.  Never met a provider who would do social time only, as you are suggesting, unless it was at the same rate as she charged for sex.  

No, that's *my observation* as well. One particular agency (MP) had started pushing the rates on their higher end girls (how they determined which ones were 'higher end,' I have no idea). As those prices were accepted, they started jacking the lower end prices (think an inchworm, the price range would expand and then pull up the rear to contract). They inched along like this for about 18 mos. It was annoying AF. But they've been pretty steady for, like you said, about 6 mos., except the qualifications for their high end seem to have lowered. LOL.
 
It almost seemed like other agencies were taking their pricing cues, though that was harder to figure out.

pretty plainly . . . . "sh**p, or did you just think that was a baahhhhd joke?  Lol

I have always offered social dates at a different tribute for time. I have seen foodie & dinner date rates from many providers on their personal websites. I have never seen any provider advertise foodie dates for $100-150. I did discover this provider link below who advertises dinner dates only for $300. They do exist. Sharing is caring. Smile for me! Your welcome.

A business gets to charge what they want. It is up to them to determine what their "sweet spot" is based upon needs and wants. Too high, no business; too low, no profit. In between these two points of high and low  is a range where operations may subsist. 5000-7500 per week, with fewer then 10 "sales" would be my business model if I was a hott, fit, nice, honest SW.
