I have noticed that everyone is except for our local toris-s and a few others that the fees are starting to get out of hand, maybe I just count my dollars differently,  I would like some feedback from the rest of the hobbs out there.  Tell everyone what u think, let the gals know they are starting to squeeze too tight. The visiting for example, alot of them are from 300 to 1000, a lot of bread. the 300 is not bad but over that ?????

You can get f**ked by a first rate doc or lawyer for $$ any time.
American women think they are such hotties, when in fact the women from innumerable other countries are far more interesting for one-third the price! LOL
The problem is that in the US men let women rule. US men are such wimps.
Let me suggest modestly that for TWO MONTHS - SEPT & OCT - AMERICAN MEN REFUSE TO PAY more than $$ per visit, and see what happens. DO IT! Then extend it into the third month.
Soon prices will go down.

There are many providers out there who charge way too much money for their time and services.  I stay away from them, which is another reason I go to Julie's in NYC.  Pricing there is very fair.  There is also one girl in the Mid-west I think, with awesome TER reviews, that gets 150/hr, and plainly says on her site that that's all she believes a session is worth with ANY provider.  If I get to her area, I would plan my trip around seeing her for attitude alone!  My best experiences have been with providers on the lower end of the fee scale (ie- 300/hr or less), and typically I won't see a provider for more than that (with one notable exception).  There are providers that have, on this board, made remarks that business is bad.  Well, business is bad all over, and perhaps they should consider adjusting donations until we all get back on our feet.  I have seen some web sites where they have made allowances and adjustments for that, and I applaud those providers.  I understand that overheads are high, and like athletes there is just so much time before their carrers must come to an end, but we aren't all George Steinbrenners, just like they aren't all Jason Giambis.  The strike idea is appealing, but I believe that thinking with my little head would kick way before the end of the strike period.  But this is a terrific topic for this board, and a great way to let the providers know how we feel.  I would love to hear responses from them as well.
