It comes down to supply and demand. The high end ladies have lots of demand from high end clients. For those clients 500 or more is just a drop in the bucket. Many are taking home 20k a month or more. On the other hand I know so high rollers who won't pay more than 200 hr. They are always going on cl bp or on the street.
I've always been used to the 300 range, sometimes 350 although the girl needs to have outstanding reviews and I need to be extremely horny. However, more and more I see ladies charging 400, 500, 600 for an hour. That's 60 minutes for around 5 or 6 bills. Does anybody actually pay that? Who can afford that, and even if you could, that seems like a lot for such a limited amount of time. I just can't justify paying over half my rent for an hour, or a plane ticket, etc. Instead of paying 600 I could fly to Latin America, have a vacation and score with some hot girls, paid or unpaid. Why the rising rates?
There are lots of folks who would also say that 300-350 is a lot of money for 1hr, as evidenced by the availablity of 50-60 specials on BP. Just accept that you are playing in your price range... some people pay twice what you pay for rent.
I agree 100%. That is why I dislike seeing providers who oblige you to shower, even if you already have at home. At $5.00/minute that is one expensive shower. Personally, I want a bang(s) for my buck, lol.
It's all about quality. Seen many providers in the range from 200 to 400 and experience has shown that the extra $, most of the time, just isn't worth it. Many at 250 are better than at 4, but also, when they realize their demand, their demands adjust accordingly. C'est la vie. Enjoy what you can.
Maybe those rates help ensure that people with your mind set do not come to see them.
Key is finding a provider(s) with whom you are comfortable physically and emotionally (trust). While you might get lucky and find the former on the lower end, highly unlikely you find someone with whom you connect on any type of emotional level without getting into a higher end provider.
If you are fishing in the under $200 sea, you are unlikely to find anything but a quick fix. But then again that is all some are looking for. I have personally found the $300-$450 range of provider to be perfect in meeting all my needs.
Communicate,, communicate some more and then communicate some more before meeting with a provider. This is the most intimate of services for which we contract, and establishing compatibility and trust is the key.

You asked, "Does anybody actually pay that?" The answer is, yes. There must be a demographic that is willing to pay those rates for providers to charge those rates. You mentioned that $600 is half of your rent, so your monthly rent is about $1200. Let me first start off by saying that there their is a significant difference amongst the stratification of income amongst people.
From my experience for providers that charge $300 an hour: they see much more clients a day. I've seen girls in those price range and sometimes it is a bit unsettling. For example, when I go to the restroom, I'll see about 6 or 7 dirty towels on the floor. One time, I counted the towels and there were 12 dirty towels on the floor. Can you say that when a girl sees that many guys a day that the "QUALITY" of experience will be the same as if she only saw one or two guys a day?
Also, you will likely be rushed after the 60 minute mark because she has another client waiting for her. Although you will get your 60 minutes, the feeling that your company after the 60 minute is not wanted is a bit unsettling. If your paying $600 an hour, she will more than likely let you take a shower after the session, spend some quality time talking afterwards, and allowing you to enjoy her company afterwards.
Yes, the "QUALITY" of experience is much better if your paying those rates. HOWEVER, this is not always the case, but from my experience, the session is much more gratifying. I have seen all girls, ranging from $200-$1000 an hour, and there is a HUGE difference. Besides the environmental differences, girls that charge $600 and above, then its much more than the physical sexual aspect: they also provide emotional and mental therapy. Some guys want the overall experience, and some providers are capable of fulling those roles. So, their rates are justifiable IMO because of those reasons mentioned.

First of all, I've never seen a bp girl and anybody that charges 60 is obviously not quality, although in some countries 60 or 100 will allow for a great time. I like the sexual and emotional side, or at least conversation. There are good girls out there for 250-350, some of which are not clock watchers. Im not rich and even if I were I wouldn't pay above 350 per hour,which is probably around the annual income of close to a third of the planet. Ive noticed some inflation in the business that is above my salary increase or CPI. Now, if some lady is a 10/10 then I understand she wants to separate herself from others. But there are some 8/8s charging fairly high prices. Everybody can make their own decision here, but it just seems prices are going up for no particular reason, especially at a time when the economy sucks and will only get worse. As for supply and demand, it seems there is a fair amount of both... Many women have fallen into the profession because they lost their jobs, have to pay student debt, have kids, etc. I prefer to see girls who at least enjoy it. Good thing im at least good looking.
To be honest, when I see a referrals rates while screening..if they are under $400, it gives me insight into what type of experience I would have if I were to meet that gentleman.
So, knowing that I prepare specifically for each meeting..and devote my day /evening towards our meeting..you are getting a *lot* more then someone who sees several different people per day or even week.
Speaking for myself and maybe others...When a lady set her rates, she sets them according to the level of effort, service, and time she puts into herself, your meeting, and the relationship she builds with you.
So, yes you get what you pay for...(in most cases, I hope..lol)

Fair enough. Like I said each woman can determine her own rate. However, its a false assumption to assume a lady who charges 300 provides less of a physical and emotional time. I've had plenty of great non-rushed sessions with providers at the 300 level, even 250. So just because a lady charges more doesn't mean it will be better.
This thread reminds me an Economics course I took in Business School - Price Theory. In my view, there is so much more to defining the elements of "Supply v. Demand" leading to arriving at Market Price. On the low-end, BP-girls get calls every minutes asking "what do I get for 60-bucks" and scheduling times for endless no-show juvenile pranksters. At the high-end "Stars" with 10/10 ratings demand $1,500 an hour, their arrogance is suffocating as if they will agree to see you right after they return from the Academy Awards where she is sure to hoist an Oscar. The anomalies abound, in the endless search for the perfect Nut, at the best price. So what's one to do? I think get as informed as possible about who is giving what on what terms and at what price. Hobbyists get only one bite at the Apple over the phone - so thoroughly think through your first question - it maybe the last - or the your first sentence in an opening email, it may never get answered. No matter how rich one can ever be - it is sure to piss you off where the guy right before you - got it better, got it longer and got it for less.
DC has a large number of high income earners. For men who earn in excess of 250k, $400-$500 is not much money. I am not in that category so I limit the amount that I would spend to $300 or less. I respect the right for escorts to charge as much as the market will bear, whether it is $400 or $900. The lower the price, the more effort it takes to find a quality experience with an escort. I have found the Korean agencies to offer more bang for your buck. I have just returned from a trip to the Philippines so definitely there is a big price difference for escorts but you have to take into account the cost and time of the flight.
