there is one lady from nyc who charges what i consider to be sky high prices...1k an hour yikes! but she is the only woman i've seen in 10 years plus of this endeavor that i would say is worth it. (pm for name) i saw her when she was asking 7, and she is the only woman who i have paid the higher price for. usually when ladies refuse to grandfather me, i say sayonara...
because in general, i know i can always find good to great stuff at the 5/hr level. maybe i'll splurge for 6 if she's got great great reviews. but i have at least 5 knock out go-to's that will give me incredible service for that median price.
i have wandered into the higher priced zone a few times, and as i've said elsewhere on these boards, i was disappointed every time. not only do you have to consider each and every woman on an individual basis, so one girl might just give you great personal attention for a lower sum than a so-called "elite" courtesan, but you must also keep in mind the factor of chemistry. maybe you and the hot shot courtesan just don't have with with each other. maybe you and the lower priced girl just make incredible fireworks together.
on the whole (or hole, considering what we are talking about), the women who charge sky-high prices are the ones not into actually doing this as a real job, that is to say, that really gives attention to deal and puts her mind into the business end of running a business (which this ultimately is).
i hate to keep going back to my restaurant metaphor, but if i'm paying four seasons prices, i don't want denny's service and burger king food.
