That depends on your definition of "honest." Based on how many results one gets when Google Image searching the pics in the ad, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the pics are fake and apparently stolen from an instagram model who calls herself Staci Doll
The way I look at it is I don't have to shop on Robson Street every time and life is good on Commercial Drive too. I act accordingly.
From an SP's perspective, I'm certain with these crazy real estate times and escalating rents; it's a cost of doing business that flows back to the client.
I was thinking about the cost of pooning and the cost of condos five years ago.
A friend got in a condo near downtown for $650 K in 2011 and avg cost per hour for escorts was $250 per hour. He told me recent sales in his building were now over $1M. Now the hourly rates for escorts have increased proportionately to the higher cost of rent of condos; roughly $300 - $350 per hour.
Use Victoria as an example. Cost of condos have not experienced the same increase as Vancouver with rentals being more of a renters market. Hourly costs of SP's has stayed fairly stable too.

One of my gfs has an apartment dt van renting for 2200/month!! So cost of living is through the roof and gents taking business to lower priced sp's, it's a domino effect...
Those rental rates have to be tough on an SP when someone cancels at the last minute.
I texted a girl one time that I may have to cancel because it was looking like I wouldn't get away from work when I thought I would. She texted me back and asked if it could still try because whether I showed up or not she still had to pay the room fee. I told her no matter if I make it or not if she was comfortable with it I would meet her at the incall or anywhere near and cover the cost of the fee.
As it turned out I actually made it there only minutes late.
But I think it's only fair to cover a cancelation fee if something comes up only hours before. Canceling the day before I feel gives them enough time to rebook someone else, maybe that's harder than I think it is.
And if an SP cancels I don't get too upset, simply means I saved three or four hundred bucks that day.

I am no psychologist or marketing expert but It seems to me people who are willing to pay more for a particular good or service see that good or service to have a greater social value or added value to that good or service . But people who are not willing to pay more for that good or service do not see the social value or added value . They also have a tendency to see the good or service reduced to its most basic value for example
one person may buy a Rolex watch. But another person would look at that and reduce the good in this case a Rolex watch to its most basic value of" watch " They would say the person was crazy for buying a Rolex for $234000 when they can get a" watch" at wall mart for $5 to them the" Rolex watch" and the wall mart $5 "watch" are the same thing a watch .
one person may decide to purchase a Porsche for over $5000 another person might reduce that to its basic unit of "car" and say they can get a running car in a junk yard for $100. To them the junk yard car is the same as the $5000 Porsche they are both just cars. They might even reduce the unit further to " transportation " and say you could get to where you are going for the cost of bus fair .
We all do this rightly or wrongly with various goods and services. Marketers know this as well whenever I purchase electronic goods the sales staff always ask me if i want to buy extra warrantee protection. Seeing a higher priced sp may be like that . The perception is that you are paying for a sort of " extra warrantee protection" because she sees less people or is more carful and so on. the people who buy her services may feel they are less likely to have an unpleasant experience .
I have lately gotten into to admit Im guilty of buying perceved value myslef . As alcohol products from small batch producers as i like the idea of a small custom made products . But I also bought
a wine at the local LC from a vendor who on his webpage his slogan is " If you cant taste the difference why pay the difference" The people at the Manitoba LC told me the wine is a good seller . so there is a market and vendors for both. types of products or services.

as usual, a conversation about pricing has resulted in the exact same arguments on both sides, edition 907. Thread closed.
