Posted November 3, 2016 While many theories here have merit. I would suggest like any business there will be cycles of high and low demand. So love it while it's good and prepare for the bad as best you can. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I meant to say 1/2 gallon (to get to the incall). Even after people started poking fun at that sentence, I thought "Huh? " Then I finally realized I said tank instead of gallon. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably NOT an Independent and maybe staying at Motel 6? It costs a fortune to tour and advertise. Ya all gotta keep that in mind and when you have a high average; you do get what you pay for! My 2 cents Can't wait to come back to Denver! My new favorite city in the US! What will I get at $300 that I won't at $150? At $500? $1000? What you get is from chemistry and attitude. The rate has nothing to do with it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 4, 2016 On 11/1/2016 at 4:39 PM, Kandi Apple said: Nice way to low ball! You get what you pay for! Imo So true. But from an economic theory standpoint there is a relationship between supply and demand. As price increases demand decreases, for discretionary purchases. So as demand declines the instinct is to increase price to make up for lower volumes. But that won't work. It just drives demand lower. The auto industry when faced with this, lowers price through incentives and rebates. I'd love to work with someone on a creative pricing model for this industry. It's different since an individual provider has limited stamina and time. And there is a certain shelf life to deal with. Yet providers still have fixed annual income requirements. Interesting pricing problem, from an economists standpoint! Nevermind.......🤓 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) In my experience, a "300" experience is not 50% better than a "200" experience. So no - you don't necessarily get what you pay for. Edited November 5, 2016 by Paul Pudenda 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2016 Here's my view on how things are a bit different from about two years ago: Right now there are several touring providers rotating around, most without the 500/hr rate so guys will try a few of them. Then there are several newer providers that joined at sub 300 while a number of providers raised their rates to 350 or more. That mix of newer gals that are charging a bit less (let's ignore the sub 100 which I would bet is a scam or worse) is going to bump out even great providers to see fewer. Even if I LOVE you, and there are some GREAT providers that I'll absolutely keep going to even if she is at or raised to 300 or more, I'm going to wander and try some of the new ones when they don't break the bank. I doubt most guys will go several times a month, let alone several a week, so 2 new girls you might be curious enough to try suddenly pushes back meeting even an ATF by a month or months. And some of those newbies turn out to be AMAZING. So I'll apologize a bit to any lady I really like, I DO want to go back to see you, but it's really hard when I can see someone about as good as you for two hours for your 1 hour price (for example). I promise I'll be back to see you some day! (Probably) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't take discounts offered on P411. A few of my favs on occasion do offer specials. I wills always donate what I remember their worth, and usually include a bottle of wine, gift card, etc. I will shy away from some because they hammer the specials, and some that are so matrix in pricing I give up. Some I'll quit because they're just plain giving it away. When I get to a point I can't afford this hobby, as my other hobbies honestly are equally or more extravagant, I race slot cars. IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2016 1 hour ago, Nikki Holiday said: Perfect example why specials are awesome You are 1000% correct! Someone like me will see the same ads for weeks or months and be vaguely interested. And several times a girl suddenly has a special that interests me well enough to try and hook me. (That's different from the ones pretending specials all the time and just raise rates or whatever). The reason I don't follow fishdude's attitude is then I'd start spending $500 or $1000 a visit on many of you wonderful ladies and Trump isn't my daddy to give me that type of cash to share with you haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on your thinking...Then maybe a provider who is at 250hr/300hour should raise her rate 500hr 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
