This subject is brought up monthly. Perhaps it's time to roll them all into one gigantic, comical masterthread. 
Inflation, especially for escorts living in major cities, is a reality.  Clients might not like it, but rates will continue to rise as cost of living increases. 
$300/hr is quite normal. $350-400 for a stellar, well-reviewed guy isn't unreasonable. 
 

As a client, I actually appreciate the providers who DO decide to participate in discussions. I’ve been able to keep in touch with some escorts who retired, which is very satisfying when they leave the business with little or no warning!
 I can also think of at least two of my regular well-reviewed providers (one retired, one in limbo at the moment due to Omicron) who were ecstatic upon finding this site but got “burnt out” after 6 months to a year of participation here and quit posting. One now posts only sporadically, the other not at all!

Slightly off topic here, but as someone who is new to hiring, I’m thankful for the insight of the providers that contribute to the forum. I really appreciate the insight!  Thank you! (Glad to have the forum as a whole for a resource, it’s been so helpful).

Per annual tradition:

Revenue increased 39% from 2020.

46% of 2021 revenue came from the year’s top three clients, up from 39% in 2020.

One of my favorite topics! Entitlement, smugness, lack of consideration for others, an attitude of "I'm paying so whatever I say, goes" or "I'm the customer and the customer is always right". You can find a little bit of that obnoxious childish sentiment on here, in fact.

I can handle arrogance and ego, to a point, until it goes into the territory of entitlement and insult to others. 

I also usually don't give second chances to flakes/no shows either. That kind of goes into the category of "lack of consideration for others", but I get it.  People can panic and be anxious around something as vulnerable as sexuality. I'll cut those people some slack. But if you didn't show up because you "found someone else" or just changed your mind, then no. The least a person can do is message if they are canceling. I'm not wasting my time on you again if you couldn't even give me the bare minimum courtesy of telling me that you're canceling at the last minute. 

Very rarely have I regretted an appointment. I'll be pretty quick in detecting the entitlement right away and not even entertain meeting such characters in the first place. The flakes are harder to detect, but once you flake then nah not again. So my zero tolerance for flaking and entitlement has done me pretty well in preventing appointments I'll end up regretting. My sanity and self-respect are worth whatever amount they're willing to pay. The power to decide who I meet is one of the greatest perks of this job.

According to the Chinese zodiac, I am an iron pig.  This pleases me.

When I disagreed with some people on here, I was told that I'm not advertising myself well and/or that I need to use my real provider name (yes, I know contradictory claims). The common denominator in those two contradictory arguments though is this is a space where we, as providers, are not welcome or encouraged to express ourselves freely (or as freely as clients). 

The site also attracts the clients who like to complain the most. I barely spend enough time on RM, let alone come on here to read the Karens and Kevins of the industry pile on someone else. It's an emotionally taxing job as it is, many don't want to make it any more taxing by coming on here.  It's a shame because there are some interesting clients on here who talk about interesting things(about and outside this kind of work), but it's ruined by a culture of entitlement other clients perpetuate. Shawn Monroe, Aaron Bauder and others describe the problems with this culture well. I don't see it changing for the better any time soon. 

Of the approximately 150 books I read this year, I gave 5-star reviews to 21 of them. If I picked just the top three, they are Razorblade Tears by S.A. Crosby. Ascension by Oliver Harris, and Alpha: Eddie Gallagher and the War For the Soul of the Navy Seals.

in a cross referencing fashion… really thought, thinking more about Jain: Umasvati~

Baggage by All Cunning.
I found his encounters with Gore Vidal, Liza, and JLo somewhat interesting. JLo's one time husband, Chris, more interesting

Some food for thought!

I take a pragmatic view, 50% of enquiries won’t end up booking, whether that’s because we can’t align times, they don’t like my prices, style, look or whatever, or they just can’t commit to anything (there’s lots of prevaricators….”I’ll definitely book next week etc”….  of course it never happens). Time wasters just get told ‘when you’re ready to book, contact me’. End of discussion. 

A high roller bringing two strangers from a hotel bar to their room sounds especially risky. 
Many men have been victimized, especially by two women, under that scenario.
I see little connection with this and escorts, though, other than taking appropriate precaution anytime one might be vulnerable.
Escorts face risks too, right?
 
 

Some of the best-looking, charismatic dudes I've hung with have impressive rap sheets. I'm sure these dudes knew/know how to spin their charm on the wealthy mark looking for a good time. 

Hahahaha☺️😃

Well first of all, three people do not an orgy make.  Second of all, it does sound like the starting of a bad joke. A Serbian a Moroccan and a multimillionaire yacht company CEO walk into a hotel room....

If you only want to sleep with people who have an attitude of financial insecurity and financial need, then I'm sorry that's just sad. 

What reality do you live in?
Guess what. If I go to a store, and they act like they don't want my business,  I walk out. I work hard for my money, and worked even harder to get where I am...far too hard to be shamed by some quasi-Marxist spouting bad analogies.

I'm sorry I didn't realize this was Ask A Client forum. No one said those escorts don't exist and that there aren't clients with legitimate grievances. Pointing out that this site also attracts the clients who complain the most in no way contradicts or negates any of that. So no, you don't need to modify what I said in the Ask A Provider forum. Pointing out that this site can attract some of the worst clients actually answers and addresses the original question- why so few providers come on here. Your response is kind of an example to what people are talking about.

Sounds like the feeling would be mutual
