As far as the stagnation of wages, I estimate that this is mainly because during times of economic uncertainty, most folks hunker down at work, don’t rock the boat by demanding a raise or promotion and don’t quit to avail themselves to the opportunity to earn more money for fear of being unemployed.  Presumably most don’t even have an interview-ready resume on hand and prefer to draft one only when their current job is wrested from them.  This works to the employers benefit because they can attempt to recoup costs through increasing the price of their goods or services while leaving the cost of labor relatively fixed.  One should never expect employers to voluntarily increase wages when there is no pressure from anyone to do so.  When times are good (or perceived to be good) employees feel more confident to move around, ask for higher wages and take risks working for themselves for the chance at a better payday.
With regard to providers, I think it’s a different animal.  They are independent contractors that by and large provide a highly desirable product whose utility may transcend economic conditions broadly.  Nothing beats 1:1 contact with another person, especially if intimacy is desired and likely.  They can largely increase their rates to whatever the market can bear because they largely understand their worth and are confident in asserting it.

I think about this often when hiring.  The provider has to deal with all sorts of people.   I just deal with him (and only if I like his look).  That thought process alone quiets my urge to bargain hunt and simply pay the man his rate or politely move on.

That tip bucket by the showers at Wet Dreams has been a venerable fixture throughout my patronage. The club itself is utterly divine, yet one does find the aggressive solicitation of tips from those dancers who can scarcely be bothered to exert themselves on the pole or beneath the shower a particular annoyance.  If they can’t be bothered to entertain, why be there?
The straight ones, however, were a particular trial. They would simply stand there, pendulously swinging their musty, dead-fish cocks, blissfully deaf to even the most civilized hints to move on.  No tip forthcoming? They invariably conclude that one simply required them to grind their wretched thingies against a patron’s fresh clothes with greater conviction.
The best dancers are always easy to spot.  Beyond their entertainment talents, they never got far in the crowds between sets and spend most of their free time in the private rooms with minimal effort... hopefully flush with tips.  Those are the ones that make me want to drop everything and head down to PV.

I generally hire people for erotic massage and specify very little. Just let them do their thing, as a way of getting to know them.
IF, the vibe is good and the provider is attractive, attentive and kind, THEN I will book for a "more intimate" session.
I always find that THIS strategy gets you a FAR superior fuck, than meeting up with a total stranger and jumping in with both feet. Although I do realize for many of the gay men here, that anonymity is part of the turn-on.  For me, I prefer sex on the "second date".

Interesting arrangement.  The only appeal I can see is perhaps a power dynamic?  Just having someone waiting in the wings at ones  beck and call no matter what?  $30K/mo can get anyone a small team of beautiful men on repeat if one is so inclined.

I can’t say I’ve had that kind of interaction with him.  I’ve seen him exactly once and it has been excruciatingly difficult to book him since.  I travel frequently and so it’s pretty easy to end up in the same town as him.  Unfortunately, the last 4 times I happened to be in the same city as him over the past 2 years, he was either leaving or unavailable.
As to the single encounter, I found that his photos and profile do not do him justice in the least… not sure why because the man I met was drop dead gorgeous, greek statue built, conscientious, and quite personable.  I felt like a teenager again with him.  An A+ all around in my book.  Alas, his travel schedule with no advance notice makes him probably best for single encounters than return clientele.  Perhaps this is on purpose given the earlier comments on this thread?  Feel free to PM.

These three make for an undeniably hot throuple. Based on his OnlyFans content, ThicMuscleJock is appealing and looks like he’s worth every penny of his steep rates…if he actually delivers the fun sexiness in person.
What I find far less appealing is the tone of his profile.  His profile states:  “Looking for sugar daddy’s and regular weekly clients. FYI my rate is high so I’m really only interested in clients with deep pockets that can treat me right. Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit.”   While I respect the upfront screening, the message lands as extremely off-putting, even for one who could technically afford it. He’s explicitly looking for sugar daddies and weekly regulars, stating his rate is $1k/hour and that he’s only interested in clients with deep pockets who can also provide assumably luxury clothing, a condo, a car and other gifts in addition.
Maybe I’m old fashioned, but IMHO escorts are supposed to be in the business of selling fantasy. This profile does the opposite. It offers a cold, one-sided transaction that demands significant financial commitment while promising nothing beyond simply sharing proximity with this Adonis. That might be catnip for true cash slaves, but for a $4k monthly minimum spend, I’d expect more variety, reciprocity, and at least the illusion of mutual enjoyment.
I suspect he believes this blunt, high-value positioning will land him a sugar daddy. In my opinion, the opposite is true. I think men of means respond better to someone who plays the field, builds a loyal and satisfied clientele, and lets the deeper financial arrangements develop naturally. I can imagine very few clients, even wealthy ones, find the overt commodification of the relationship attractive when it’s spelled out so plainly in black and white.  Just my 2 cents…

I see what you are saying, however I’m torn…The kind of provider that would judge paying, respectful clients over looks would be the kind of person to thoughtlessly take your “rejected” pic and mercilessly mock you online with it.  I’m paying a premium in this hobby NOT to have a petty, judgmental, masochistic Grindr experience.  In my view, the fee delivered to the provider is simply a quid pro quo between a SW professional and a client he wouldn’t otherwise date… and I’m ok with that.  If times are truly changing, I will do what it takes to have the experience I desire… patience, generosity, and kindness have always worked for me and go a long way.

Thank goodness for the is forum!  I know most providers try to earn a living, but this provider definitely makes his derision of gay men show. The counting the money at the end was definitely the icing on the cake… the demanding of a tip, the cherry on top.  Providers like him see us as walking, talking wallets that empty ourselves on a hair trigger on the slightest attention from a pretty young man.

Surprised this guy hasn’t gotten any love from the forum.  Probably in TGTBT territory, but one can hope.
