It's all relative imo. An sp's time is worth whatever you think it's worth. If the sp disagrees with you, then sorry buddy, find someone else who does agree with you. There are some smoking hot women out there that chip at pro-ing and charge very little, as it is not their main source of income, merely a quick fix to a short term financial hardship. Other sp's do this for a living, and therefore just like in any business strive for "the going rate". Of course it is more than most of us "want" to pay, but that's the reality of the world we live in. For instance, most of us have had our car serviced by a friend of a friend of a friend for a cheaper rate than garages charge, but they do not have the overhead that the garages do. Whine to a mechanic at a garage that he charges too much, and what do you think his response will be? Also, the "going rate" sp's may make the same as sp's that charge less, but only have to do half of the work. Wouldn't you love it if you had that option in your career? If you don't want the convenience of how to get in touch with the indies, escorts and mp girls, then go through the tedious tasks of trying to find an sp that will charge less. I for one would never pay the rates that Babybelle is seeking. Does that mean she doesn't deserve it or doesn't earn her pay? I am sure this board would be devided in their answers. I personally can't justify paying that much for any sexual act(s), so I do not partake in Babybelle's, or any other sp with similar rates, services. Others would say I am crazy for passing on the opportunity. It's all relative. Sorry for singling out your name BB, you were just the one who came to mind as your post is above mine. I don't think anyone is right or wrong here, so maybe we can all just agree to disagree. These kinds of conversations can be really interesting if we can keep the insults and the provocations at bay.
