What does "upscale" truly mean?

[Big_Guy_Rye]

Novice here, so this might be a silly question.

I'm heading to the big city on business soon and I have been browsing around. As there are a few ladies that have made it to my short-list, I often see "upscale" in the description of their ads and wonder what does that really means?

Upscale lady, upscale service, upscale Incall...etc..

I'm not in my 20 or 30s anymore, and I wouldn't say I'm a GQ cover model, but I do clean up nice and 20lbs away from Silver Fox status. My occupation isn't as flashy as say a lawyer or a corporate exec of a Fortune 500, or any other suit-type job. But I pride myself on how I make good money.

So for the sake of not scoring low on a "YMMV" scenario, is a lady that advertises "upscale" only meant for "high-society" and not Average-Joes? That when I walk through her door, she won't be disappointed with my "average-ness" and she'll humour me with sub-par services or no service at all because I'm not one of the elite? despite meeting whatever price we agree on? Do I have to wear a suit and tie and pretend to be elite?

As far as I gathered, if I come across someone's professionally created personal website using professional modelling photos and says "upscale" in their description, I'd believe they are meant for high society, and would probably be too intimidated to request their services (unless I'm wrong). But for random ads claiming "upscale" experiences, could expectations run too high for both client and SP?

Upscale restaurant is understood, right? I always assumed the same rules applied: you aren't going to a dive and you're expected to clean yourself up a bit.

Oh, I'd understand if it's a case of just dressing up nice,.... but does 'substance' have to be attached to that? Like she expects me to be apart of high society, for the sake of networking a better client list?

Well, others can comment with more authority than me but again like an upscale restaurant as long as you have manners and an appreciation/recognition for the finer service they offer and you pay the bill, it ought to be fine. Hy's doesn't ask for your last income tax filing to reserve a table.

If you are finding their ads on L.L. it probably means they have toilet paper in the washroom. It is typically an advertising tactic and has no real meaning anymore. Find someone well reviewed with a website listing services and go have a great time.

What does upscale mean? Expensive! ��

For me, upscale means that the lady is low volume, is selective about who she sees (i.e she doesn't necessarily care about a client's income, but about their manners and about how they treat her), prefers longer sessions, makes a point of finding out enough about you to be able to make a genuine connection, and takes the time to get to know you at the start of the session before moving on to the bedroom. In my mind upscale refers to the service provided by the lady, as opposed to any requirement from the client.

Think of it this way. If you go to get your oil changed at Canadian Tire, you get told to sit in the waiting room or go shop in the store. If you get your oil changed at the Mercedes dealership, you get offered free high-quality coffee and pastries, get the local newspapers and free wifi offered in the fancy waiting lounge, your car gets a free wash and a complimentary 50-point inspection, and you get treated like royalty from the minute you walk in the door. In both cases, your car's oil gets changed, so technically the same result is obtained at the end of the transaction, except you would feel the experience at the Mercedes dealership has been "upscale" vs the one at Canadian Tire. Neither place will care about your annual income.

I have found over the years that I tend to enjoy myself more when I pay a little more to see an upscale lady. When I let my little brain do the decision making and select a less expensive lady, I often wind up shaking my head afterwards and telling myself to smarten up and listen to my big brain next time. Experience has taught me that, for me, quality beats quantity.

As far as the OP's specific question, I have never found an upscale lady to be snooty or haughty. I've never been asked for my profession, my annual income, or my social status before the initial meeting. On the other hand, I've always been polite, easy-going, not demanding, happily given whatever screening info they requested, followed their booking procedures, not negotiated rates, and just generally treated them like another human being. I have found that, in return, they have treated me the same way.

My two cents.

Upscale means Guaranteed Nice!

Upscale restaurant is understood, right? I always assumed the same rules applied: you aren't going to a dive and you're expected to clean yourself up a bit.

I'll agree completely with Clu and what he said using Hy's as an example of a luxury experience. If the lady has a nice fancy website or tasteful twitter and some great pics that she has invested in, it's reasonable to classify that as "upscale".

I"m not in the city all the time so when I make the trip I hope to have a guaranteed "excellent" experience. The 80/20 rule still applies but I've generally had amazing experiences and some epic experiences and it's been worth paying the premium. Do your research, trust your instinct, be authentic, take the time to prepare and you will never go wrong. Your profession or societal status does not matter one bit.

What does "upscale" truly mean?

The same as …….

"Low Volume"

 

[Caramel]

I've always thought the same as the OP lol...and I also thought that in order to be an elite SP, you must be high class yourself, in everything that you do in your life. Personally, I'm a bit ghetto, so I just don't venture into that world. But in my opinion, if you want to be an upscale provider, you would need to do all of these things: be in downtown, be in a high rise luxury condo OR an upscale agency, have very high rates and multiple hour rates, request screening for clients, have a closet full of outfits and lingerie, have a fully stocked immaculate incall that is private, sparkling, and entertaining. Wine, or refreshments. Spend an hour or two on hair, make-up, and be fully groomed from head to toe, nails etc. Book in advance, make appointments. Wear high heels and something expensive. There is probably more but you get the idea. It can be a lot of work for someone who is a simple person, or it can be a piece of cake for those women who already live this lifestyle of glamour. For the clients though, that honestly doesn't matter, as long as you show up dressed nicely, clean and groomed, with the full donation and don't act like a dick, it's totally fine. Chances are, your SP is probably from the same town as you are lol and was looking for a more glamorous life and is being an elite SP to be able to afford it.

Well then I guess my Dodge Ram dealership is to be considered upscale- coffee, newspapers, snacks, WIFI, massage chairs, big screen, popcorn, free wash AND some very hot looking female staff constantly traipsing around.
In your FACE Mercedes!

Clu, ddcanz & my pal nmo_tallguy have all summed it up beautifully, in my opinion. "Upscale" is not just the beautiful wrapping paper on the present, or how much the present cost: "Upscale" is how YOU will feel about having been given the beautiful present. After all, if a beautifully presented woman in a gorgeous location doesn't posses the customer srrvice/people skills to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, & satisfied, does the visual even matter?

Ummm….this sounds like a fantasy you've conjured up.

Ummmm...yes. Fantasy fulfillment is what this is all about. A truly upscale experience ought to mean the following:
-Immaculately presented provider;
-IMPRESSIVE in call & amenities;
-Low volume & higher rate certainly
-Superior client satisfaction skills from the booking right through to the goodbye kiss.

Upscale doesn't mean snotty, snobby, indifferent service from a poorly organized girl with a banging body and a butterface, right? Absolutely gorgeous face & great body, but working from the Motel Hollywood on KGB? Not anyone's definition of "upscale". It seems to me that when a provider is truly UPSCALE they don't have to claim to be UPSCALE, because it's evident from their photos, their reviews, their social media presence, etc...

As for "upscale" as it applies to LL: well yeah it's random. It's an adjective describing a noun, not something one can quantify. The BEST one might do is attempt to determine some sort of criterion referenced scale? What 's your definition, Hot Shot?

 

[Addison Cortez]

Definitely a variation. ‘Up’ ‘scale’. So on a scale of 1-10, it’s ‘up’ there. Sex industry services vary widely between SPs, clients and also each individual connection. So, what you’re looking for has a rating and that’s all a matter of experience(s) and preference(s).

 

[Ms Erica Phoenix]

Actually, in considering it...UPSCALE CAN be quantified, but it hasn't been. It's possible to design any number of assessment tools/evaluation instruments using some simple satisfaction survey ("On a scale of NOT AT ALL UPSCALE to COMPLETE LUXURY, how would you rate this experience? this in call/amenities/ease of entrance/location? this provider's looks/attitude/service?") questionnaires...

(I miss designing criterion referenced assessments, I don't care who knows it!)

lmao. You’re adorable and qualified sexy. I may or may not leave out a comma here n there hoping for a free lesson

"Upscale" is a misused and overused expression that has been rendered meaningless by being employed by ladies who aren't upscale at all, kind of like "open minded".

If a lady has to describe herself in her ads as "upscale' , she probably isn't.
