It is easy. Expenses have gone up for everyone. I don't know where they are getting the inflation rate figures from, but it doesn't reflect my reality. Insurance is more and property taxes have gone up. These drive an increase in goods and services all above the official inflation rate. Unfortunately, most incomes aren't keeping pace. When I look to cut back my cash flow, the first thing to get chopped are luxuries and indulgences. SPs fall into that category. I am not complaining because I am well aware that you have to pay to play. I doubt that there is room for most providers to lower their fees by much as they have expenses as well. What will happen is that eventually there will be less girls providing the services we are used too. The trend of the 15 min minimum service for fast dollars (Pay fewer dollars for a lot less service) is a reflection of the new reality.

While I agree with your post, if it comes down to this, I will hang up my skates so to speak. A 15 minute date for me would be such a waste. Both sexually and financially.

All of that makes sense, and yet the expansion of 350-400/hr or 500-600/90 min and up rates in Vancouver is more of an explosion, so it's not slow for everyone. Some ladies who were 250 two years ago are 350 now. You'd think if things were that slow, there'd be more specials or rates of this nature would start to come down.
Your analysis is faulty, because when things are slow some of the girls will increase their rates rather than bring the rates down because they expect to see less clients during slow times, but also expect the same lifestyle. These girls are the ones who believe in working as little as possible and earning as much as possible at the same time. Most people believe that to earn more, you have to work more - in other words, they are not lazy and have a good work ethic.

Business stalls then prices fall. We're witnessing a market correction and some will raise their prices in denial while others lower their prices to survive. The correction is parallel to the housing market and will continue in a city where we produce nothing and create wealth on paper with inflated house prices.

I was looking at getting money back on taxes this year, but now I'm facing a $3000 repair bill on my car. Before taxes.
Driving a Euro-Sedan is nice, but the maintenance and upkeep goes up accordingly.
That, and the increase in the cost of everything else means there hasn't been anything left over for playtime in a while.

I literally broke even on this yrs taxes. So, for me it isn't so bad. But......July is a disaster month for me and puts me 6ft under sort of speak :(. Every July, I have to pay Property tax, home insurance, car insurance, car maintance month and on top of all that.....my usual mortgage, strata fee etc!!!!

Paying yourself 1st and putting away a bit each month goes a long way I'll tell you. If I had real poor money management, I'd be up shit creek without a paddle. Which reminds me.....

I have no clue how married people in Vancouver, who have kids make it :confused:. Is it...both of them working to make ends meet, credit card maxing and then paying the minimum only each month?
Have you thought about setting up monthly payments for property taxes and/or car insurance instead of trying to pay it in one lump sum? That is how I do mine and it makes it a little easier to manage. I'm in Alberta, not sure if things are different in B.C.

My sense is that when the economy is weak additional ladies enter the market as the barriers to becoming an escort are low and many, sometimes naive, civilians think the work and money are easy. I agree with BC-Babe that excellent service and taking care of your regulars is the key to success, especially in down times. And I also can confirm that BC-Babe, puts her mouth where her money is as she offers as good a bj as you will ever find.

Now that's a great recommendation, if I ever heard one! When the economy is struggling, good service will keep you in business, while the poor competition struggles...

Another tip for keeping busy all year round is to respond to all phone/text/PM/email inquiries no matter how busy you already are. If I can't see clients when they contact me the first time, I always respond and invite them to try again another day. They just might be the clients who call again when business is slow, and I find that almost everyone does try to book with me again.
This is wise; If I don't get any kind of response when I first contact someone I'll usually not bother trying again.

Some one I know in an unrelated business, told me the other day his phone just stopped ringing.
Quiet as hell out there.

Its funny but I am in Calgary ok, and like twenty years ago there seemed like there were titty bars all over the place.
Now twenty years and double the population what there are three strip bars in calgary.
I was at one last week it seemed boring dull, and expensive. Had one drink and left.

I wonder if the new thing is live sex cam girls.
Some ladies are incredibly hot and nice, as opposed to being a bitch.
Some girls really know how to do it.
All in the comfort of your own home.

These girls are the ones who believe in working as little as possible and earning as much as possible at the same time.
The judgemental conclusion you came to and generalizing is a bit silly. Do you know a lot of people in this world who try to work more for less or the same? I don't. Lol



Let's be fair...to one business, $500 is a good week. To another, $500 is a good day.

'Busy' is a relative term!

That is so true. I always find it hard to answer questions about being 'busy' because knowing how much I want to or am able to work determines what my idea of 'busy' is but even my busy would be decidedly quiet for someone who wants to and can take 5-6 appointments a day! I have no interest in seeing anywhere close to that many people so to me that's not busy, that's just 'insane' lol So 'busy' means vastly different things from one sp to another... I think a lot of men really believe that we all routinely see several clients and that if I answer that I am busy, to them it means I've seen 5-6 clients, which I would never want to or be able to do - even when I was travelling. But for some girls, that is exactly what it means.. So that's why it really doesn't mean anything unless you know what 'busy' is to an sp. :)


I personally have found that the majority of the periods of time when business is slow the reasons are random. Sure sometimes it's easy to pinpoint and explain why it's quiet but on my experience that's the minority. And for the most part it's not even the same from year to year so I've given up trying to predict it too.

One year during the Christmas holidays, everyone was complaining about not being busy while for some reason it was the opposite for me. The next year though, business was super slow for the same period. Last year, I think it was August, it was so quiet I seriously started to panic for the first time (previous summers had be busy enough). If I remember correctly during that same time, other girls were commenting about being busy. I have no idea why and I think it's just the way it is... and eventually things get back to normal.

Ups and downs happen and I don't think there is a specific reason. I don't think that having slow periods while others are actually busy or average necessarily means anything about service level. I mean, of course it could - especially if it drags on or happens a lot or doesn't pick up again but I don't think it's an absolute or automatic indicator.

The same goes for being busy at a time when others are not. Part of the reason could be that you offer good service but it doesn't automatically mean you offer better service than another provider who is not busy. It's never a bad idea to examine whether there's anything about our service that could be improved but it doesn't mean there's anything wrong or serious that needs to be fixed.

And then of course, what always happens as well when the phones do start ringing again is everyone wants to see you at the same time and you end up turning down several appointments because there's only one of you! Ha! :p
