I have to Cosing with Allanah's original post.
My rate is my rate has been the same since 2006. Aside from getting stiffed, once. I try to project a classy image with my ads. That is how I justify the cost. If some people don't think I am worth my price they can go elsewhere. I don't need every man to want me just enough to get by.
I can afford it I just choose not to pay itQuote:

Let me start off by saying, an escort, be she TS or GG, should charge whatever she thinks she can get. This is a capitalist society. If the market can bear it, it will. If she wants to charge $100 a pop, cool. If she wants to charge $1000, still cool. A lot of cats want to buy a Porsche but can only afford a Dodge. Guess what? They buy the Dodge. And Porsche is not losing any sleep over the fact that a large percentage of the planet can't afford their car. The know the client they want and what they can get, so they charge it. If you are a Porsche, honey, be a Porsche. With no apologies.
With that said, other than in my very early 20s of picking up streetwalkers after the club for kicks, I have never sought the services of an escort, TS or GG. It isn't a money thing - I just never felt the need to pay for it. I don't begrudge the next cat for paying for an escort. Do you. God bless. If you want to spend the GNP of a small country on an escort and you aren't hurting anyone, have a ball. Literally. I have been fortunate to be blessed with the tools needed to pull what I deemed quality GGs. (I have "driven" Dodges and Porsches) I am also blessed and cursed with a ridiculous amount of arrogance. Sue me. So paying for it was never an option. My success rate isn't 100% but I have done well and have many fantastic sexual moments to show for it.
But now, I am entering entirely different waters. I have been attracted to TGirls for some time now, but have never been with one. I just went to my first party last week. (Great time, btw) The arrogant bastard in me says this will be no different. I should still be able to use the tools that have served me well to be with the quality I want. (Dodges and Porsches) I live in NYC, so that definitely helps me. And I understand as a result of not hiring an escort, I can potentially put the fantasy women (Allanahs and the like) out of my reach. But that was the case with GGs as well.
But I still think I should be ok. Maybe I am being naive. It might be a whole different game that I am not as equipped for as I want to believe. But until I start failing miserably or I want one of my fantasies and realize she isn't agreeing to anything because I have a great smile (LOL), an escort, at any price, will not be called.
Hope I didn't drift off topic.
Theres always a possibility that when you drive off from the lot in said Porsche, it wont provide the ride expected
this thread cracks me up.
Really if a dumbass wants to pay 2000 bucks for head then let him.
As for a standard rate, that makes me laugh as well. the only time I have ever produced my wallet was for Danielle Foxxx because she was the Gold standard and not many girls measure up to her in terms of beauty, charm and ability to hold a conversation. her hair implants and lips were all soft as silk. I can't tell you how many girls have rubbed up on me with tits as hard as battleship steel, hair that's been hotcombed to a frizzy death and stubble.
those girls are not getting the same fee as Danielle. Fuck that noise!!
There shouldn't be a standard rate because there are girls who far above average and those far below. Their prices should reflect that.
The supply and demand is also a big factor. I know from the few parties I attend the number of guys willing to pay is pretty low at times. I'll have thirty, forty girls asking me to "party." And two hours later, they'll still be asking. The most they will have generated is a few lap dances in between. How much did they make? A hundred bucks, maybe 150 that entire time?
there is a seemingly endless supply of tgirls and a limited number of fans who want to make their fantasy a reality and spend big ducats for a sexual encounter. like it or not, as Allanah once pointed out in a story many of the guys visiting t-girls are so jaded by fucking pussy for the last thirty years and endless hours of porn they just want something different. Guys like that, like me, are not gonna blow 1500 bucks on anything just to get a thrill.
the question is are there enough big ticket guys to go around to keep jen paris, Allanah and whomever else wants to charge big ticket prices in business?
Who knows? If the rates drop in a year or so we'll know there weren't. If they stay high, well I guess a sucker is born every minute because there ain't no such thing as an orgasm worth 2 grand in my book...
For a newbie, you post some pretty clear thoughts without tripping over your brain along the way. :) Welcome to our collective nightmare. Are you my evil twin? <Thinking> Perhaps I am the evil one. Watch this space. :DQuote:

I've noticed a couple of cases where a gurl will quote one rate in one city and another, higher or lower, in the next. I'm sure that part of that is driven by geographical market forces (Higher travel costs for the gurl and/or lower per capita income for the clients) while some is apparently intended, as Julie mentioned earlier, to thin the crowd a bit. Having worked a traveling sales business for some years I can relate to a gurl not wanting to work ALL the time when visiting touristy places like SF, Miami, Chicago, etc.
Contrary to popular belief, money can buy happiness (Or at least rent it), but how happy can you be if you've labored yourself into a pine box? So, the rate gets boosted from time to time, the calls thin out, she gets some comfortable down time and the average numbers remain the same.
Lastly, an amusing image that I thought might be appropriate here:
You might also consider the fact that there seems to currently be a huge availability of TS's out there coupled with the falling demand due to hard times for formerly avid hobbyists. A lot of guys just resort to watching a flick and jerking off. That has been the case with GG's as well. Many hard-pressed students (some very hot looking) who would never have dreamed of doing this, have turned to the escort business to make ends meet and are going it alone and really killing the market for everyone.Quote:

My base rate is $250. I might go lower if I run a special or charge more for a fetish or fantasy, but that's my usual hourly rate. Don't like it? Too bad. I know I'm worth more and you're only getting a deal because Obama gave our money to the banks instead of back to us. :geek:
~BB~
I've said it before on other threads, and taken heat, but in my opinion
$250 is only reserved for the porn/internet stars. A few months ago Foxxy
was in town and I did her for $200. (well worth it)
In the cities I hang in --- houston, chicago, NY, LA, I have plenty of girls
in the 80 -150 range. And it's always the complete GFE++.
My experience pay more -- get less
I'm in Mexico every month, and rarely pay more then 20 - $40
For what guys are paying, they could fly to san antonio and spend the weekend fucking in Laredo, and still have money left over.
I've got plenty of money, but I just can't see wasting it.
And the times that I've broken down and paid the $250, I've almost always
been disappointed.
My recommendation for the cities I've listed --- learn spanish -- go to clubs
--- collect phone numbers -- and get it on, for much less.
You guys that live in England are fucked -- I've only had bad experiences there. Go to spain or germany for the weekend and pay much less for more!!
