Its been awhile (maybe 8-12 months) since I last hobbied. Started checking out some possibilities on Eros and noticed what seems to be a general lowering of fees. Not for agency girls, but seemingly among indys. $250 for women I would have expected in the past to be $300 at least. Even the Asian women seem to have reduced, with lots offering 45 mins for $200, or an hour for $240.

Is my impression correct? Has the economy forced this restructuring? Or have the services been reduced with more expected upselling? Any guidance from those who've been more active in the past year would be appreciated.

I myself think that things are tighter than they seem. I want to get out more but with the economy being the way it is i need to hit a home run every time. That puts a lot of pressure on me so i just stay home, or use the funds for charity acts for people i know in need i am not wealthy but i help out people in need when i can . Sucks for me but good for them.  I think if some girls who were having specials or whatever emailed guys they liked about it it would help both parties get what they want. As for the agency's their cost's cant go down because they only control one part of the system
what has happened to me with lowered rates on some people have also meant lower experiance you just have to keep that thought in mind  Just My two cents

As a model, I have noticed that many things not just one have reduced the donations.  I travel as I am well received when i do.  When in Wilmington or Myrtle Beach I think that winter time makes more models be accomadating to the slow winter crowd.  DC has always been good.

which could affect pricing, especially for travelliing providers.  Here in DC, when it's the off season as far as tourists go (as opposed to midsummer when all the vacationers are here) things like hotel rooms are a lot cheaper, etc.  So there is that element to it.  At the height of tourist season in DC, a lady has to have one $ 300 appt. just to cover the hotel, then there's travel expenses, etc.  This time of year & especially in the winter after the holidays until maybe late March, a sharp shopper can find perfectly acceptable hotel rooms in the $ 100-150 range quite readily.  And of course if there are fewer visitors there are potentially fewer customers as well.  It's the same reason they have Restaurant Week in February with lots of places offering real bargain meals, their volume is way down that time of year.

I can speak for what I've seen on BP as it is where I do most of my hobbying. There has been a general drop in prices and ladies are traveling farther than they have in the past. For instance there has been a significant pick up in girls from CA (bayarea mostly). I have also noticed alot on new girls coming from the Carolinas and GA. These patterns indicate to me that the economy has made girls to have to travel farther afield to make their money. If you've been out for more than six months you need to reaquaint yourself with the market through regular scanning of Eros and other malls. There are goodtimes to be had at 1/3 to 1/2 off what rates wre a year ago.
