Why do SPs charge so much in BC?

[agentman]

* I don't think it's that bad. Check out the high prices in New York, LA and Las Vegas.
* There's a fairly broad range of prices available for a variety of different services in the GVRD area.
* I only do a session about once every 3 weeks so it's not that big of a deal for me.
* I usually see the mid range SP's.
* I have only booked with a high-end SP's about 7 times the entire time i have been at this. Don't remember the exact number, memory is getting a bit faulty as i get older.
* I have been at this for fair bit of time.

It's never really bothered me that much.

i agree fully. its the lamest excuse in the book. even if that were a factor, for arguments sake, rent/housing is predominantly the only factor thats more expensive in vancouver. but is it 100% more expensive than the rest of the country? hell no. car insurance is more expensive in toronto, especially in certain districts. do you see them charging twice the price because of that? lol nope.

yeah umm most sp's don't have cars, thats why they require a travel fee when doing outcalls...to pay for a driver/taxi. And it is a known fact that Vancouver IS the most expensive place to live in Canada...a quick google search can verify that...

And the min wage in BC has gone up, prices for pretty much everything have gone up in the last 5-10 years, so the rates of escorts would also go up too.

Also, the other obvious reason is because they can charge those prices, there are clientele that can afford it and those are the clients that the ladies who charge high target.

Not sure what kind of $500/hour escort has free rent...If that was the case then her husband/parents would be living with her, otherwise she would have to pay to use an incall. Or she would be outcall only and would probably have to pay a driver or pay for a car, so then she wouldn't be having free rent and keeping the entire $500 for her personal expenses.

Some advice that always seems to happen everytime this thread reemerges again and again and again.

If you want to see a lady who charges $300, $350 or $400 for an hour. Save up for it, get a better job, sell something to get the money. This countless belly aching and moaning about ladies charging too much is getting really old.

When you see them realize one thing fireworks aren't going to shoot wildly from their vaginas. Don't go in with huge expectation. Treat the ladies well with decency and respect. You'll reap what you sow. Go in with huge expectations and you'll more than likely be let down causing a world of insessant whining the forum doesn't need
Ladies. Can charge what they want to charge. Ladies can see who they want to see. All the whining complaining bitching pissing and moaning isn't going to change that.
That is all
:clap2:

A word to some of the new hobbyists; I have had some of the best sessions with wonderful ladies that charged less than top price. :thumb: Just do your research and be on the look out for specials.

sucks when you see an SP, have a great time, then she raises her price out of your budget range. just happened. saw sasha st.clair in mid-january. had a great time with her. back then she was 300 per hour which is the top end of my spending budget. was interested in seeing her again but noticed in her recent ad that she bumped upto 350 an hour. now out of my budget. and for people thinking it's only $50, i'm a middle income person. not rich, not poor, so $50 is enough to take notice of.

Yeah, that's happened to me a number of times as well. I just go back to the ads/reviews and keep looking for new ladies. And sure enough a few other ones pop up on the radar.

This, from a year ago...

"...Ironically, Vancouverites can consider moving to the Big Apple to save money.

In fact, Vancouver is now the 37th most expensive city in the world, up from 72nd last year."

Just had a look at the website for French Kiss Escorts, based in Sydney, Australia (not to be confused with Vancouver's French Kiss). One hour with one of their ladies will set you back between $600 and $2,000 Australian (plus outcall expenses). Always wondered why we don't seem to get many visiting Aussie sp's up our way. Crikey!

Am I too late for this one? It's called:

Gold
Pussy
Syndrome

They all think their pussies are made with gold. That is the ONLY explanation I can come up with!!!

There's a perception that seems far too common, and is often referred to by members of this community, that assumes women who charge more do so because they prefer to see fewer clients and be more exclusive. While this logic is about as bulletproof as a pair of fishnets, it tends to be used as a rule of thumb, and a reference a lot of men work from when deciding who to see.
Raising rates can sometimes be necessary as a way of representing ones self among the providers that offer a certain standard of experience.

It is not always greed, or about supply and demand, it might just be about understanding the view that those on the outside have when observing the scene.

 

[BallzDeep]

Well, I'd say, even if you were willing to do the $350/hr, you just screwed yourself with Ms. St. Clair. Very tasteless of you to name her. Her rates are her business. Pay, don't pay, those are your choices. Complaining makes you look like a bitch.

^ without a doubt a 100% bonafide troll. like youre so damn perfect.

Publicly shaming somebody for raising their rates is weak. How would you react if an escort called out clients by name and insinuated that they were cheap?

ok i agree name shouldnt have been used, but filmgeek cant speak on anyones behalf like theyre the be all and end all of all matters of opinion either. maybe she doesnt care? maybe she does? is he her? no. filmgeeks sole mission is to pick apart anyone that has a different viewpoint filled with a lot of fluffer and nonsense. on a continual almost ad-nauseam basis too...

This is a very relevant topic to consider...

I wanted to take the time to respond to this thread, I think everyone has a valid point from all perspectives. That is why there is so much variety available. I prefer to spend more time with each individual so I limit my sessions to a minimum of 1 hour-4 hours, overnights & vacation packages reserved for VIPS only, although my rates per hour vary from 200, 250 & 300/hr , sometimes I will give a package rate so I can reserve myself for that special someone rather than multiple partners, all are YMMV as quoted on my reviews, they vary in intensity of course, some are and some are not full service, and I've been requested on many occasions for denial sessions as well (one of my special-teaze most of my reviews are outstanding and obviously I am very flexxxible, health, hygene and safety being of utmost importance to me, so I have always felt that the female reserves the right to say how she shares herself (trim and clean nails and fingers, no smoke on your breath, sober, clean, in good health, etc), as long as both people are getting what they need with the primary objective to have the best experience and ignite repeat escapades, which builds a better rapport in many instances. I firmly believe and live within the art of tantra which is the practice of sacred sexuality so I enjoy taking My time and making every moment as memorable and beautiful as possible.

I find I would personally feel uncomfortable with a 15 min session, I've tried 30 mins and I am not really satisfied with that duration of time and for the services I provide, especially for MSOG, I prefer an hr and I Consent to one hour minimum. That is the most important point I would like to make, is the fact that all activities must be Consensual for me personally. Recently I have been traveling and due to the cost of vancouver suites, I have been thinking of renting a suite, still unsure as any way I do the math, with all my other commitments, to do so I would have to bump my rate to 350-400/hr to live there, or do a minimum of 2 hours for 500 at least 2 times a day about 3 days a week to meet my expenses and continue to travel as well. Running a dungeon (or 2) has it's share of expenses and if I were to do so, I would have to keep a residence in Nanaimo as well, so it may be something I will have to reconsider after reading all the responses that are all relevant, I may not raise my rates if I do decide to rent a suite in vancouver, so I can make those meaningful and lasting connections and provide those lifetime experiences like no other! I wish you all the best in your endeavours! Cheers xo

What shaming? If it’s on her website, then it’s public knowledge. He merely pointed out that she is now out of his budget. He never said she isn’t worth it, in fact he stated to the contrary that he would like to see her again, but now can’t afford it.

If she is ashamed of her prices, then don’t bump them up or publish then online.

Perhaps she would be the best to decide if she's been shamed or not, providing a reason for the shame?

my thoughts exactly.

I dont see how mentioning that a girl raised her rates would be some how offensive. The purpose of this board is to discuss the industry. She raised her rates, he mentioned it.

The market dictates how much some one can charge. There are some really high end girls out there that charge way more than 350 per hour. If there was no market for it they either wouldn't do it or they would lower their rates. Its pretty simple.

Lately, it's like groundhog-day in here... Don't get why some people after getting permanently banned come back. Even worse they come back with now multiple handles, somehow feeling the important need to be here after getting permanently banned on all their accounts . To the point where after several times they go to go to the trouble of changing their IP address etc and coming back with a whole new name. Then they get found out, banned again and it starts all over again. Seriously WTF? why?

Glad I'm not the only one who think so. It's getting comical really. You see "new" members arrive on the scene and within minutes, they are posting like pros and fanning old flame wars. These idiots can't play nice (at least reasonably so) but they can't stay away either, fucking bunch of losers if you ask me. They know who they are...

 

[Oldfart]

If Vancouver pooners think prices are too high they should take a look at what the going rates are in Calgary. You will thank your lucky stars you are in Lotus Land (except for the fact that gas is only $1.11 / litre in Cowtown).
