I Have Always Been More Interested In Value And Personality Than....

the rate.

I would rather see a lady who has some personality and zing in her board personality than a high dollar lady who puts out nothing but a generic bland website and doesn't participate in any hobby forums.

I like a connection with the ladies I see, and I enjoy seeing someone you enjoys their work.

Looking at reviews and seeing consistent high marks and the services I enjoy will sell me long before a certain price point will.

In My Opinion, Great Service with a smile and a good attitude outsells a high donation any day.

One last point, if I see a $$$$ lady and it is mediocre, I will never return.  However, if I see a $$.5 or $$$ lady and the service is good to great, I will continue seeing that lady for a long time to come.

Hope this helps.

Often the lower cost gals are, in fact, the best at what pleases me the most.  The higher price may get you a younger and harder body; and maybe the face will be more like what you'd expect to find on a model, but if they don't have that oomph in their love making, it's all irrelevant to me.

I hate to generalize, but sometimes I feel like a good looking high cost gal is doing me a favor just letting me touch her and that is all that is required of her.

By the way, there are plenty of very good looking gals who price themselves reasonably too, and who also perform well.

My guess is that the higher priced gals are interested in having fewer sessions and tend to see guys who believe that if you pay high, you can't go wrong.  Sort of like the high end perfume psychology.

Suzanne, personally, the rates have very little impact on my decision to see someone.  I usually run a filter to rank the ladies by average score, then look at the top ranked ladies web sites to get a feel for the lady and also look at her pictures.  I base my choice then on which of them most appeals to me for all those reasons.

Price really never enters into it.  I must say though that I have made a conscious decision to not see any of the very high priced porn stars as I feel I can get as good of or even better experience with one of the best rated local ladies at a much better cost to me.  I also feel I have a better chance of having a "connection" with one of the local ladies.

Hope that helps.

Which is just another way of agreeing with the reply about the solid lack of correlation between price and performance satisfaction.

I always stand by the assertion that each provider can and should establish their own rate structure and that I as a consumer can elect to say yes or walk away. With that being said I've experienced fantastic times and had great satisfaction with both high end excursions and more typical rate structures.  Likewise I've been disappointed a bit in each end as well.  Thus the import and incredible value of reviews.  Once I learned to really do my homework, I have found +95% satisfaction no matter the market I decided to play in...  

Interestingly enough for me, I will raise a  higher eyebrow for rates that are far below normal then I will for rates high above the norm.  But above all else it will be reviews that will give me the confidence of selecting well.

B&S operations frequently look at the norm rate for a local... and that is what they charge... but!  They have incredible pictures... right out of the pages of playboy or penthouse...  just because someone charges less, does not mean that they are less of a value or a good time - just as someone on the high end - does not guarantee a "blow your socks off" time either.  

In short, while there is a norm (price point) - below which the odds of a quality time decreases exponentially - there is also a diminishing rate of return on the high end...

For example - many pornstars offer a great time at affordable rates - if you just wish to be with a pornstar - these are in the range from $$$$$-$$$$$$$$$$$ per hour.  But if you look at the rates on Body Miracle... well.... they are rediculous for the average hobbiest... and you do not get (IMHO) greater value.  I have been with a few PS's and I can honestly say, I feel that - for the most part - I have gotten good value for the money.  on the other hand - I have gotten just as good a value from many less costly escorts...

Think this way - suppose you pay $$$$ for an hour - and get 2 cups, daty, BBBJ and CIM... (perhaps Greek).... and then you are with a high end $$$$$$$$$$... and you get the same exact service.... how would you feel?  Cheated?  or relieved that you were guaranteed that level of service?

In short, High end?  for some $$$ is high end...

I have found that most providers decide what services they are willing to provide.... then they set their price.  Some?  will not do BBBJ - others Anal - but some (willing to do anal) will do anal - and knowing there is a limited supply will demand extra for anal (supply and demand).  

As I say in my subject line - a nice time was had by all.... meaning - it is possible to achieve a great time - at all ends of the price spectrum... but less likely to occur at the low end... and equally frustrating at the high end - due to diminishing returns...

Tend to be in about the average range for donations, but for the most part, far from average on looks and performance. When I first started, I set a limit on what I would spend. Of course, I have since exceeded that limit, but still stayed in what I would call an average range. A lady would really need to intrigue me to spend twice what I would normally spend. So far, I have seen some very classy ladies,had some wonderful evenings, and not broke the bank.

for the most part.  IN my area providers rates tend to be $150-$500/hr with most being in the $250+/- $50.

On my budget, anything over $300 is a rare luxury and I usually have to pass.  I do however occasionally see a $300+ lady as a luxurious treat.

Is the experience better, maybe.  For these ladies to stay in business at above market rates they need to provide outstanding service and tend to be exceptionally beautiful.  If they weren't they would not have enough repeat clients to sustain themselves.

The added cost also allows then to have the nicest incalls, amenities and to take the best personal care of themselves (more freguent trips to the spa, nails, hair, nicer/more lingerie, etc.)

But are these ladies better...no.  Are they better than the average provider, yes.  But they are not better than the better providers whose rates are "average".

What I am not saying very well is that there are great providers in all price ranges, my experience is that if I do my research I can see a great provider for a modest sum and don't have to pay top dollar.

At the same time, if I close my eyes and randomly pick from local expensive providers I am just as likely to be disappointed as not.  I still have to do my research.

So with great providers in different price ranges, what is the difference.  Mostly it is the little extras.  She provides a nicer incall (4 or 5 star instead of 3 star), some nice wine and/or snacks for us to replenish, she may have more toys/outfits/stuff to enhance a session.

But in general a good provider provides a great experience and price does not determine the quality of that experience.

Higher rates are usually for one of two things: (1) the escort is famous -- pornstar, or (2) the escort is a travel companion as well as a physical companion.  It really depends on what a guy is looking for.

Here's another way to think of it...

If a guy is really after a strong physical connection and has no intention of being seen in public with the escort, he is better off avoiding the high dollar escorts unless he wants to see a porn star.

Re: To the gentlemen here

I look at it from varying perspectives, and take it all with a grain of salt.  I have been with women whose rates are through the roof, and they think you should be lucky to breathe the same air as they do, and I have been with providers who are more reasonable in their rates, but who are absolutely down to earth, and genuinely glad to be with you.  That being said, I prefer to stick to the ones I know, and not get too tied up in the rate thing.

reserve the right to change my mind, but the last thing I look at is the rate when checking out a lady. I don't want my ethereal senses to be filtered by my earthly senses.



It's always about the person to me.  Looks, body styles, even services offered, are secondary to the person I'm going to spend the time with.  I love experiencing, absorbing, and living the very essence of the woman I am with, and learned a long time ago that this connection I crave is enhanced through intimacy and sex.  I don't have the time, inclination, or studliness to meet and seduce the number of women that I need to satisfy this particular hunger of mine, so I engage in the Hobby, knowing that I will pay some money to experience what I want.  The amount of money is, to me, only limited by my ability, not by my imposed sense of value on another's time.

Good Luck

There are so many lovely ladies I have not seen that I can not see myself paying $500 when I could see 2 ladies that I have not seen at $250.  Maybe in 20 years when I have seen many or most of the ladies in the modest price range would I look to spend twice the average range.  But then again, in twenty years those ladies charging $500 may be in the modest range.  Now there will be inflation in those rates by then, but you get my point!

Adversly, if I spend the modest rate and do not click with a lady, it is a chance I take, but if I would spend twice the modest rate and not have clicked, I would feel worse.

Rates: $350 - $400 / hr. is what I can handle every two weeks.  Beyond that is negative on cash-flow...but I frequently exceed that.  Investments are keeping pace, so doing okay despite the turmoil.  Below $$$...CL/LE risk has to be considered...above $$$$, have to consider carefully based on looks and TER reviews...

have unlimited resources I have to limit my hobbying to once or twice a month.  I have seen many great ladies but never gone over the $4$$/hr. price point.  If a lady catches my eye for multiple reasons, I might go beyond that but would be unable to do a multi-hr. date because of funding.

When doing research, I look for appearance (am I attracted to her) and secondly I look for performance (and attitude which can be measured from reading posts and reviews here).  

I don't think a BBBJ or a ride in the sack can be better for a grand than for 3 or 4 C notes.  Just my opinion.
