Do providers scope out when other high end/competing providers are going to be in a certain area so they schedule their visits accordingly?  You know.... supply and demand.

Do you really expect girls that charge $300/hour, $400/2 and $950/3 to have the wherewithal to look at what ALL the other hookers schedules are? You ask far too much of them my son

a CEO? or a cock slot?

A provider, high end/high demand/popular, etc. can only see so many guys in any given period.  So even if the best provider in the world is touring a city the same time we are, she may get booked solid quickly (good for her), but theres still the other 100 horny clients who want an appointment on any given day.  

The question to ask is when is the market going to be over saturated and if it is should I go elsewhere where I can get my price and the volume that I want to justify my expenses?  Also do I have the Marketing tools that will give me the demand that I seek so I can go to the most competitive markets and succeed? These are the questions that are needed to be asked when deciding to visit a certain city.

some are excellent at it - very admirable

Minnie pretty much covered it. I'll skim other ads to see who's charging what and all that, but the vast majority if us don't really look at each other as "competition" per se. That's the nice thing about this business: everyone's individual looks/personalities/rates/policies are going to set them apart from other ladies in the region.  

pretty simple. If the phone isn't ringing you adjust. I've seen ladies go from $500 to $300 in one day many times. My favorite the other day was $1000/hr, $1100/2 hr, $1300/3hr

I did not know that. I wonder why that is? I for one am just as horney in the Summer, if not more because women are walking around dressed in next to nothing. Damn, I love Summer. The female body is a fucking masterpiece.

When times are good the smart ladies need to "sock-it-away" to cover the lean times. Easier said than done, though. And further, save for the future (i.e. retirement).  You don't want to be spending everything you make. I spend a good portion of my professional life assisting people identify and monetize the cost of their future desires and needs. It's particularly painful to see middle-aged adults trying to scale back their desires and playing "catch up." Much easier to do earlier in life when you've got time to make adjustments to your savings habits and lifestyle. The solution is always to start saving early and often. Unless of course you can count on a windfall (inheritance).  

I agree with that at least for my routine but it seems most guys think that is high time. Not for me!

Who has time to be following someone else, I barely have time to see my friends, get travel arrangements in order, book appts/hotels/plan tours... Etc....

...the larger the client pool will grow. The clients just know that they can always choose from a wide variety, and will see a greater number of providers in the upcoming months.

My theory is that it has to do with kids being out of school, people taking family vacations, stuff like that. August is particularly brutal.  

You'll find at least one happy client!  I don't care what season it is.

Sometimes I forget that I'm the different one, no kids, divorced. So I do what I want,  when I want,  with who I want.

Older guys drop out, but are younger ones replacing them?  Not counting Hound, of course.  Or is all the free stuff out there too easy to get for the young guys?  Would be interesting to see a long term study on the demographics of clients.  A study that doesn't service someone's political agenda would be unusual, though.

I must plan my trip to the Bourbon Trail (Kentucky) for August and come see you, before, after or both. You see I'm such a drunk (I'm the Drunken Nerd) that I plan a vacation to go see where my Bourbon is made. That's simply the closest I'll be to your city any time soon. And because of your age maximum I can't wait too many more years.

An agency I went through did this, as did a lot of ladies who made big bucks.

I have never had that mentality about "competition."  

Keep in mind that due to other venues in cyberspace(I.E BP,CV and other sites) the market is already smaller. Henceforth now it is a smaller range of guys who are viable to see girls. Then take those who would be able to be verified and it is considerably smaller. Thus now you have a small core of potential hobbyist who would be viable for women on this tier to see. That is a case in point and something to consider since the majority of marketing and advertising is done in cyberspace.

If you do the math the baby boomers are starting the die off. The next generation is not as affluent. Not as many players in the younger generations.

The explosion of absolute bullshit via an expanding internet industry that most of the new/entering/mid-level providers employ utilizing any and all means necessary to lure clients in is responsible.

to see how the historically high unemployment rates, especially amongst college students and graduates, affects the disposable income of those people when they're in their 30's. They're getting a later start, and so may have less money to throw at things like P4P.

No real stats. And by young, we have to start counting mid-to-late 20's, I'd guess. The recession had an impact. I think the major sin cities will become more active. It's just a different view of the market.

You must have a weekly quota or something because DAMN.  

Supply and demand might only apply at certain rates not on high rate where your logic does not make sense.

Do You get where I'm going with this...?

Drop her age limit, don't you mean raise?

Not sure the analogies are valid because of two things:  easy free sex for younger clients and having to make the leap into an illegal activity.  Assuming that easy free sex reduces the number of potential entrants into the client pool and the percentage willing to risk the illegal activity of the hobby remains the same (although the initially perceived risk is wildly exaggerated if the hobbyist is careful), then the relative number of entering hobbyists would be lower.

Presuming they're not all hot air...

Constant "sucking up" to providers here is simply not "sexy", not even to the women themselves. Come on labboy, quit groveling, it's really quite unbecoming.

This is also the reason that Tobi is on "both" my lists. You've got to love an active hooker with the stones to tell a hobbyist she is not interested in to "take a hike" Yes, she is a biatch, and I wouldn't mind having a drink, or even ten with her.

Obviously one more time. Maybe he thinks one time you'll mess up and say yes.

GaG and I are officially bros.  

But you're right, "raise" would be the correct word in this context.

You are officially one of my favorite "biatches" lol

and as of next year I will be officially too old for you to fuck, but that doesn't mean that I will be too old to get drunk with

and won't be for some time to come. The youngest baby boomers are barely fifty, and will be an economic factor for many years to come.

If you want to be technical, all generations are dying off, whether it be Baby Boomers, Generation X or Y or any other generation as you can't make more of them, so with every single death you can claim they are "dying off"

up to about 1964, the youngest of them is 50, the oldest of them 68.  I would argue that the older ones are starting to leave the client population, through death or reduced sexual activity.

Once upon a time it was a rarity to see a sexually active septuagenarian, now it's commonplace, with even a lot of active octogenarians right here on TER.

and since we still have most of the money, we are gong to be a major economical force in the hobby, and elsewhere for quite some time to come.

faithful Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 and I still drive my 4x4 and my grocery getter as well -  you can appreciate different things, different styles, different providers all at the same time....
