Been on a hiatus from the hobby due to inflation. I was shocked to see how long it was since my last review.   I am dabbling here and there, but nowhere nearly as often.  Anyway, just wanted to say, "hey!"  Hope all my fellow hobbyists are fighting the good fight and keeping hope alive.   I see the forum has become a less toxic place.    

At the very least, a $500 ask should include BBBJ (I would even argue it should include CIM as well, but in my experience, that’s not guaranteed).  

I've seen providers charge that and more for no kissing of any kind and a CBJ.  I just keep it moving, but always wonder who IS patronizing them.

GFE BBBJ 500 sounds reasonable  

I hear you, my friend.  Sadly, not only has 500 become the new 300, if you are able to find 300, you know you're not getting any GFE treatment, at all.  You'd be lucky to not get rushed out the door. LOL!!

Preach!!!  That's exactly why this hobby is nothing like it used to be.  "Mary" shouldn't be matching "Sally's" rate unless she is delivering her same level of service. Nobody pays Mustang GT prices for a Fiesta.

Your rates are double that $500

Lots of girls especially on eros and tryst, charge 500 for non gfe service.  Not saying i agree or that its okay but it is common especially with eros girls and I would say you should really avoid seeing any non latina who isnt well reviewed

I am fairly certain its clueless guys who dont know any better.

Those two are the most popular since Backpage got shut down, and I must admit, I browse them quite often.  No complaints yet.   Other sites like Skip the Games and Escort Alligator are another story.  You really have to be able to detect BS if you use those sites.  Scammers galore!

Yes I've noticed this well I'm still here to provide a great experience with reasonable rates. Everything going up I see .

Perhaps she is doing a little negotiation thing now.

I concur with so much that has been said.

This is a really great (and honest) post Pepee and is one of the reasons this site can be so valuable.  I say "can be" valuable because even ter sometimes gets fake reviews and other things that gum up the works.  

Not as ugly as you make out. There are plenty of really good providers under $500 and even under $400 with reasonable screening and great "service".  

Not as ugly as I make it, LMAO. If I told a lie, please correct me. My point being, some of the practices are "ugly" in that they disregard the client as if he has no privacy, security or safety to consider. It's also why many younger guys (inexperienced) get raked over due to alot of the scamming, catfishing and misleading -  All things that existed in the past, but much more prevalent now.

I disagree totally. I don't see any of the negatives you mentioned being very prevalent.
