I'm just curious!
I've been to providers that charge $160 here in Chicago and leave VERY happy.  How do some girls get off charging 3 or 4 or even $500?  What more can I get for my money that I don't get now?  Isn't the end result usually the same in the hour?
Perhaps providers can answer this.

Thanks.

They "get off" charging what they charge because they CAN and they are obviously getting it or they wouldn't be in business. My advice is to stick to the ladies that give you what you want for $160 and leave the rest to their own business practises.

However it was nice of you to bring attention to a very well discussed topic...again... probably in an attempt to make some of these "silly" women and the equally "silly" men who visit them, to drop their rates.

I could liken this rto estaurants...why pay $50 dollars for a meal when you can pay $2.99...it's still food and the end result is a satisfaction for your hunger. Must we go through this tiresome debate every month? Stick to what you can afford and leave the rest alone.

...there's a sucker born every minute.  $160 is about right.  $170 if she has 3 breasts.  But that's just me.

Generally speaking you get what you pay for and if you are perfectly happy with the girls you've seen for $160 then why pay more.

But at $160 you are much more likely to get a less than satisfactory experience with no GFE.

I don't know about Chicago, but nationally I'd say the average for quality, REVIEWED, professional escorts is closer to 250-300 for a girl and 150-200 for a TS.  With some getting 1-200 more.

Unless you are talking about Craiglist ads which are often upsell or oral "specials" in which case knock off 100.

Have fun, play safe.

How many times does someone have to bring this to our attention and stir up trouble with donations? You pay to go to an expensive restaurant for the gourmet meals (some of us more than others).

I'm pragmatic so I don't spend a lot of money on clothing, jewelry and restaurants. However, I occasionally just have to drop $100 on a belt or a nice shirt, or take a relative to an expensive restaurant so I can remember how the rich live. Yes, that's right! We're not rich either, due to popular beliefs. So . . . if you can't afford it, don't purchase it. If you have a handbag that's perfectly good, why buy another that is slightly better? Perhaps because you can. Stick with what you have and stop complaining.  

My science teacher once stated, "Ignorance is bliss." I never understood that because I always wanted to learn more about everything in life. Perhaps he was right in certain situations. It sounds like you're getting a great deal, especially if you're satisfied with the service, so stick to what makes you feel comfortable.

Stay safe, everyone!

Hugs,
Ciara

W C Fields was famous for his cynicism, but the only saying I ever heard attributed to him was on his gravestone--"I'd rather be in Philadelphia."  By the way, that is apocryphal--his gravestone only has his name on it.

It is all a question of supply and demand.   If the supply of great looking and great performing providers is adequate at a certain price--say, $200--then the price will fall to that.   But my experience has been that the top girls generally charge the top price--which is in the $400 to $500 range in NYC.  Pay a lot less, and you get a lot less.

Never give a sucker an even break; which was the title of the one film he made independently, and his best film too, IMHO.

I had heard the myth that his epitaph was:  Better here than Philadelphia, which makes a bit more sense as a slight of that city (Which slight is undeserved from what I hear.)  However, his grave is adorned only with his name, as KL states.

$700/hr., but no DFK or BBBJ.  That's crazy and anyone willing to pay that money when there are better deals around is a total sap.

After all, she's providing in NYC!  Is she completely oblivious to her competition!?

is a certain amount of confidence that a lady has. I've not sampled any $160 providers, but I wonder whether they would have the same confidence in themselves that a $300 lady does.

As others have said, if you're very happy with your experiences, then don't question that and caount yourself lucky!

At one time I was a font of WC Fields lore, and I remember it as "anywhere but Philadelphia."  But I could be wrong.

BTW the Philly-phobia was pretty much an act.  In his will he left a good-sized bequest to an orphanage in Philly.

Maybe she's a provider without stretch marks or any other blemish and caters to those who want her type of physical attributes and her level of safety. Some would say that some of the things you like are risky and would never see you as a client. Each to his or her own. Why is it necessary to rag on providers who charge x and only do Y...just don't see them and leave them alone.

Weren't you the one that was complaining weeks ago that you were refused DFK? Choices my little friend...we all have them and I respectfully suggest you get used to the ladies exerting thier choices whetther it's fee structure or menu items. Boo hooing will get you nowhere..

Well, the reviewer did rate her an 8/8.

But as a fellow NYer [despite my low level of interpersonal hostility], I think of it this way:
put together two well-known sayings - "there's a sucker born every minute" and "a fool and his money are soon parted."  The gullibility of my fellow Gothamites on so many things never ceases to amaze me.  If it costs more, it MUST be better?

That being said, it's not just about the physical.  There's all kinds of satisfactions to be gotten from a beautiful young escort.  Possibly just the knowlwedge that one can afford to burn $500-$1000 for the company of these women is a  large part of it for many?  Every hobbyist has his own set of needs to be fulfilled, his own set of expectations as to how they ought to and will be fulfilled, his own matrix of likes and dislikes.  To try to work this out as a straight dollars and cents proposition makes no sense at all.  No more than asking why you love your SO [if you have one].  It's all just a big mystery, only small parts of which we can glimpse, momentarily, and take a stab at guessing intelligently about.

That drivel out of the way, whatever floats your boat.  Go with the provider that makes it FOR YOU.  Leave the others to the others, because they make it for them.  Live and let live, and we all live happily ever after.  And continue to ponder these mysteries in our spare momemts. But not obsessively.

Cheers.

that WC Fields hated Philadelphia.   But on his grave, his thought was something like, "all in all, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."   But who in the hobby is old enough to remember WC Fields, let alone remember his reputed bot mots?

The phrase "There's a sucker born every minute" was actually spoken by a man named David Hannum, in reference to P.T. Barnum showing a "copy" of a hoax named the Cardiff Giant.

"If I charged $100, my pussy would fall off."  

People might think it's only what the market can bear, but IMHO, it's also a matter of what the provider can bear too.  

Yes, you could click very well with a provider at  who charges $160.  However, it doesn't mean that  every guy who sees her will be happy.

I actually see quite a few providers who don't DFK.  Based on reviews, I know this before I see them so that's fine.  No one ever turns me away for the things I like because I choose providers who do those things.  I would never go to someone who doesn't kiss and then ask for it.

If I was upset that it was refused to me it's probably because this provider was known to DFK for everyone else, according to her reviews, so the issue there would be discrimination.  I don't remember exactly what you're referring to but that's the only reason I can see for bringing it up that way.

I DO exercise my choices, that's why I look at providers' sites and reviews.  I choose not to throw good money away for little return and to let others know when that might be a risk.  The way you make it sound, TER should be a place to mindlessly cheerlead every ridiculous thing providers do.  When providers complain about clients I don't tell them to shut up or accuse them of whining.  If I can, I address the issues they bring up, without trying to shut down discussion.

On the other hand, if you want to stay consistent with your live and let live philosophy, I don't see why you're complaining about my post.  You should have just left me alone.  I suggest you get used to people expressing their opinions.  Here's a choice for you, engage or don't, but trying to silence people is pretty weak.

"Never work with children or animals"....

which I think holds true for our arena also.  Even if some of us men are really childish animals.

This reminds me of a blind wine tasting party that I attended some years ago.

Everyone at the party, some 25 people, brought a red wine priced below $30.  All bottle were covered and labeled with comic stickers.  After about 3 hours, everyone had tasted most of the wines and rated each from favorite to worst.

I remember standing next to a wine-snobbish fellow that boasted that he, "just couldn't find a good bottle for less than $45" so he brought that.  As each bottle was revealed, the host anounced who had rated it as their favorite or least favorite.

Towards the end, he got to a wine which only two people had rated as a favorite, the Wine Snob and a bubbly school teacher who by now was quite smashed.  The host revealed the bottle as a $5.99 red table wine from Trader Joe's.  There were two distinct reactions.  The Snob was mortified.  The teacher was giddy and declared she was going rush out to by a case.

Just thought it was interesting.  Every one has to decide what they like or dislike and price, IMHO, shouldn't be the deciding factor.

You missed my point...nevermind. Bitch all you want I don't really give a rats a$$. I guess I just have to consider the sources before I waste any more of my time commenting on here. Most are just MRSB...who know no better.

I never resent a businesswoman's price point. If she can get it, I say the more power to her. I just wonder who pays over $500/hour?  I guess that's  my upper limit, although I haven't even gone that high.  In my reading reviews there is plenty good looking talented providers for fs between $250-350 in my metro area, so I'm happy in that range.

The poster who said some guys think something is better because the price is higher is absolutely correct.  

Besides if a woman can get screw two guys a day and pull down $1,500 can you blame her for doing that instead of screwing 5 guys in one day to make the same money? (or in your scenario 9-10 guys?)

Believe it or not some ladies are priced the way they are to omit certain types of clients. A slap to your ego...probably, however it's just another form of screening. Screening is not just the provider references you gentlemen give or your handle or whatever...it's a multitude of things to each individual provider. And as some have said...it is also a volume issue.

Also,to tag onto Rudy50 post:
There are plenty of suitors who prefer NOT to be with a provider that entertains numerous amounts of clients in one day / per week. This additional "perk" is also tagged onto a providers rate structure along with other factors.

Pay what you can play.

And I have every movie he ever made, from 1915 to 1946.

When asked why his thermos was filled with whiskey, he said "Fish fuck in water."

Studio exec's were loath to allow booze on the set of a movie, so WC euphemistically refered to his hootch as pineapple juice.
In time, everyone on the set knew what WC meant when he asked for his pineapple juice.
One day, a newbie gopher was on the set and was told to go get Mr. Field's pineapple juice.  He dutifully went down to the commisary and got some actual pineapple juice and put in into WC's thermos as instructed.

Between takes, WC took a swig out of the thermos and spit the pineapple juice out while roaring: "Who put the pineapple juice in my pineapple juice?!"

In 1925, the magazine Vanity Fair asked dozens of famous literary and theatrical figures to write their own epitaphs. “This was thought a delightful idea ... [because] almost all of those who responded were young ... and full of life,” reported the August 1965 issue of American Heritage. That was when comedic actor W.C. Fields wrote “Here lies W.C. Fields—I would rather be living in Philadelphia,” which often is quoted as his epitaph. The inscription on his gravestone at Forest Lawn in Glendale, Calif., however, simply reads: “1880 – 1946 W.C. Fields.”

First and foremost:  Every single woman has the right to charge whatever they want.  Is she charges too much, nobody will see her.

Secondly: Every single customer has the right to choose which women he will see.  If it is too expensive, do not partake.

As to me, I have found that the more expensive women in my mind have been more mechanical than the "diamonds in the rough" that I have found who give me incredible service for very little money.  These women are typically I become friends with, and we learn alot about each other.  I find that the sessions are less about the mechanics of the session, and more about the emotional relationship.

I guess it comes down to the fact that I personally can talk with anybody no matter who they are, and dislike people who have an attitude of "I am above you on whatever level, so you are beneath me."   Now this is not to say that all women who charge more are this way, not at all, but in my experience, any women who charges north of $500 has an attitude that since she makes that much, she believes that she is somehow "better" than other women.

...but what do I know....

I have seen $$$ 1/2 from MC girls.... hot looking but mediocre providers.  I've seen Tory ( an indy in Cleve)and Carly from EC both at $$ 1/2  and they both WOW'd me.  Price is irrelevant... all chemestry and attitude.  If you've found providers at 160 be thrilled and hobby twice as much and stop looking elsewhere.
