Why so much?

[BrokeBastard]

I don't mean to be rude but my BS detector is twitching involuntarily. There's an element of traditional BC fantasy about this story that has it's place, I suppose.

Why would someone who has a fancy boat be driving a beat up truck? Why would they go into the bank in grubs?

That story is totally believable. Have you ever heard of Warren Buffett? The guy is the second richest American at 39 billion but is legendary for being thrifty. The man does not flaunt his riches at all. Many wealthy people enjoy being low-key or just cheap at heart.

I'm Chinese and I usually can tell the people or spend and the tightwads with money. Look at the nostrils. For men it the indication of a spender or saver. I have an upturned noise meaning money leaks out and by God its true. In my prime savings years I have spent lots of cash on toys, travels and Sps. While my co workers whose nostrils are turned down and dont flair are savers. I dont believe much in Face reading but this is one area that its true 95% of the time.

yep...the ole truck! Is it the memory of all the sex back there in the box, under the moonlight in younger days?

Trucks are like old well worn leather saddles or that favourite pair of shoes.

Well, this thread has strayed quite a bit, but, suffice to say different things are important to different folks.

I think a lot of my generation spent tons of energy trying to make it big, at least in my neighbourhood. Money was easier to make back then, and flipping real estate was easy in the 80's.

Thing is, now I don't care if I have an enormous house...if I want I can go to Hycroft manor for tea. If I wanna large beautiful garden I'll go to Van Deusen gardens...then I don't have the responsibility of maintaining a big house and garden....I can rent a limo or a mercedes etc..

I'd rather spend my money on experiences. Ya can't take it with you when you go, and, often someone takes it away before you even get to the seniors home.

They are old guys one made his $ staking mining claims, the other guy sold a huge family property in Europe to a wealthy Arab family. They love the bush country of BC and have old school wooden yachts to spend the summers in coastal waters. He loves his old Cowichan Indian sweater and Ford diesel truck, his kids and grand kids have the run of the Whistler house it's worth a fortune. Once you get out of the city you'll find some pretty wealthy country folk who are real characters! There's lots of guys like this look at the family from Buffalo Air they are rich and now there's the dudes from Duck Dynasty on TV!

Those are the exception. The vast majority of people with money use it.

Unless someone like me who gets "high" from banking it all.

 

[jblurps]

Wow. I expected that there would be a number of sp's to jump on this thread and justify themselves charging the sky high prices, but I didn't think this thread would become this controversial.

First, to all of you saying not to "complain" or "whine" about prices, I can say whatever I want. And I don't care how many times this was discussed before. I was making a valid point and expressing myself about something I've seen in my years in this hobby. Yes you all can charge what you want, and I can speak out about the rapid increase in prices (especially in Vancouver). And yes you are right, I am budget conscious and I am unwilling to pay over a certain amount. I believe there should be a reasonable amount of sp's who are of great quality and charge reasonable rates for the average working man. I'm just saying I've seen a decline of that in Vancouver over the past two years, that's all. For example, I was in Vancouver last weekend, and I found 2 well reviewed ladies with good prices advertising, but they were no longer available after 7pm or so. So yes there's a few left in Vancouver, but they're declining and generally have limited availability.

I don't use micros, so that's not an option for me.

Obviously I won't pay if the price is wrong. Victoria is cheaper and has less options, but it seems like the best option for me. And yes back east is still pretty reasonable. I was in T.O two years ago too and there's some girls over there that still charge less than $300.

Some of you mentioned inflation, but I've mostly just seen it in Vancouver with the sky high prices. Like I said Toronto is still pretty reasonable, Tijuana too. I even checked the prices for some of the brothels I used to frequest in New Zealand back in 2004-2007, and prices are still the same. Great quality sp's and reasonable prices for the average working man. That's all I want. That's all I was saying. For all of you that got jokes and wanna bite my head off for expressing my views, back off.

Basically you want access to the higher end in demand SPs for rates comparable to what the lower end less desirable SPs charge. Not going to happen. If everyone wants to see a particular SP she can charge what she wants and people will line up to pay it. That is how commerce works.

There will be the odd exceptions, but mostly you pay for what you get. These women are in this to make a living, not to do charity work. You want to see the ladies at the higher end of the fee scale, then be prepared to pay up. If what they charge is too steep for you, or it limits the amount of times you can visit SPs, then there are plenty of budget SPs available, just go and see those. Of course you will probably be getting a lesser, riskier service than what the higher end ladies provide, but it will be more budget friendly if that is a big issue to you.

I don't see what the big deal is, fees charged by SPs in Vancouver are relatively low compared to what you see in the US. If you want to visit a reputable and in demand SP there you are going to pay a LOT more than $300.

 

[Asianwomanlover]

Actually, I don't see why the SP's should bother trying to justify themselves, to you or anybody else. And yes, you can say whatever you want. But what the hell did you expect as a response to your whining? Haven't you read the previous threads on this? Seems to me you were just trying to annoy people for the heck of it.

And Yoko, good on you for getting "high" by banking your money. Beauty, brains, and financial savvy. If you ever leave the escort business and get married, I hope your husband realises how lucky he will be to have a woman like you.

There's a large difference between using money and flaunting money. All depends on people's priorities. The co-owners of the company I was working with in SK walked around in jeans and work boots. Drove older trucks (that weren't optioned out to the nuts), however they did own side by sides, atvs, nice camps and assorted "toys". Lived in normal houses and each of them worth a mil although you wouldn't know it just from talking to them.

No tugela, that isn't true. I don't need an older exquisite high end courtesan type sp. Like I said in the beginning, I've been doin this for almost 9 years and in quite a number of places around the world, and the only place where I've seen prices go from reasonable to sky high so quickly is Vancouver. Everywhere else, they've haven't gone up that much. And pretty much all the sp's I've been with over the years are not high end. Nice job making that assumption, though.

Yeah you get what you pay for. I've had lots of wonderful experiences with sp's and I've never paid more than $275usd. I just said Victoria is a better option (price wise) to Vancouver. Of course I'm not gonna pay more than what I would want to.

Uhh, I don't know if that's necessarily true about the price comparison to the states. I live in seattle and there's a few forums here where ladies charge well under $$$. In fact on one there's only 1 or 2 that charge that amount for the hour. However, the quality of sp's is crap here in the u.s., so maybe the good ones charge well over $300.

I wasn't whining. Like I said I was making a valid point and expressing myself. Yeah I read most of the posts on the thread. It seems more like you're just trying to annoy me right now. No one asked for your senseless response. You can shut up now.

I can't believe this has made it 11 pages.. *groans*

beating a dead horse...

I can't believe it went to a second page. Simply put, if clients will pay what an SP charges, it isn't "so much".

As long as there are men that can't afford everything they want (like spoiled little boys) we will get this thread every few months.

Hey I think hamburgers costs too much.....so I think everyone working in the food service industry, from rancher, to inspector, to server should earn less, so I can eat more hamburgers.

 

[wilde]

Why on earth would they want to do that?

Everything, it seems, is more expensive in Vancouver so comparing with the rest of Canada is pointless. The best place to poon, however, has got to be Montreal. It's cheaper, the girls are younger, hotter and less stuck up, even the mileage is better, too bad my French sucks...

Oh whatever, shut it. Look I just said all I was saying is I've noticed the recent price hike in Van since just two years ago. And that hasn't happened anywhere else I've been.

 

[PlayfulAlex]

I remember when I first got into this hobby about 9 years ago back in Toronto. For the most part, the providers were charging about $140-$210 for the hour. At the time I thought $200 was alot. Over the years I've seen prices go up in some places. Just 2 years ago when I was in Vancouver most of the providers were charging under $260. Now look at almost every ad on here. Most of them are charging $$$! When does it stop? There are ladies on erslist, backpage, etc that charge less but some of those are bait and switch. With providers charging more and more as time goes by, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find good providers at a reasonable price. Victoria's cheaper but the options are limited. Thoughts, opinions, comments?

Oh whatever, shut it. Look I just said all I was saying is I've noticed the recent price hike in Van since just two years ago. And that hasn't happened anywhere else I've been.

Excuse me for saying so but, when you ask for thoughts, opinions, and comments, be careful...you may just get thoughts, opinions, and comments. Maybe you shouldn't be so sensitive, since you started this thread...

Senseless? When you felt you had to start another "Boo hoo I can't pay those prices" thread? After admitting that the SP's in Seattle are crap and charge $275 US, you should be happy to get some first quality ladies up here for only $25-$50 dollars more. Seems obvious quality has a price. And if you aren't ready to pay those prices, then stay in Seattle and settle for the ladies down there. I'm sure our SP's are busy enough that they won't miss your business.

All the ladies you review are of the "budget variety".

You don't value quality? Or would you agree that a person does not have to spend $300/hr to get a quality experience?

 

[Asianwomanlover]

I agree, you don't necessarily have to pay $300/hr to get a quality experience. I had some great experiences with my "budget variety" ladies. But I can't stand having someone complain about those ladies charging higher prices, especially those higher priced ladies who get stellar reviews. Some guys don't mind paying higher prices, some do. We don't need a thread on this every few months.

Wow you really are a moron. Go back and read my post, if you can actually read. I didn't say they charge $275 us. I said I personally have never paid an sp more than $275 us, and that most of them in seattle charge significantly less than $300. Yes you are senseless. And for the record I can pay those prices, I just choose not to because I know I can get similar quality elsewhere. Don't tell me to stay in seattle with crappy girls. I told you the obvious solution is Victoria. Quality sp's for fair prices. I can shut your hole now.
