Umm... did you mean to say $150 for
half an hour? I certainly haven't see anyone who normally charges $250/hr putting on specials of $150 for 1 & 1/2 hours...
First of all, there are plenty of SPs who charge far less than $400 an hour. Secondly the key words in this post were the lifestyles "
SOME of" the girls have. Thirdly, even someone who
does charge $400 per one hour appt does not
"make" $400 an hour. If they work for an agency, their take-home is probably about $275,
if that, then out of that they have to pay for their transportation, license, condoms, lubricant & massage oils etc, expensive clothes & lingerie, hair & makeup, body hair removal & other esthetics, perhaps even expensive "enhancements" such as plastic surgery or hair extensions (with the higher-end girls many clients would expect these things), professional photography & advertising if those things aren't included by the agency, & so on... Then tack on up to an hour spent getting ready for each appt, & their "hourly wage" goes down to about $75 or less. Then remember that they are not being paid for 8 hours a day like a normal job, more like half that (& that's if they're popular), & their rate of pay doesn't sound nearly so extravagent.
If the girl is an independent, instead of agency fees she has to cover the cost of renting her incall location, bills such as electricity, phone & internet, the furnishings, linens & towels, cleaning supplies, personal hygeine products for the clients (mouthwash, bodywash, etc), all her own advertising & photography etc, in addition to all the things I already listed above, plus she has to spend
a lot of additional time answering her phone, emails, & PMs, posting her ads, cleaning her incall location & otherwise getting it & herself ready for her appts. There is a lot of time we put into our jobs other than just the time spent in actual appointments. For example, I spend
several hours every night just replying to emails & PMs.
So, before you go thinking that SPs are making 100% profit on what we charge, or coming up with what you think we make in your head by imagining we make $400 times 40 hrs a week, (which is totally untrue), think about all of these additional costs, (the vast majority of which one would not have for a "regular" job), & things that take up a lot of time which we are not paid for. Then also factor in that the vast majority of SPs, (including myself), charge nowhere near $400/hr, & really very very few of us are making ridiculous amounts of money or leading extravagent lifestyles with designer purses. We can make a
comfortable living without having any formal education, & that is one of the reasons why many women choose this job, but don't for a minute try to make us all out to be greedy princesses who have massive disposable incomes & are preying on all the poor broke pooners.
Remember, seeing SPs is, contrary to popular belief,
not a neccessity, & if someone really can't afford it he should stop doing it, rather than bitching about the prices all the time, (this comment is not specifically directed at the posters in this particular thread, just at a certain group of posters I have noticed on this board).
