Isn't 400 dollars for a hour too much for New York standards?

Bravo.

It seems like there's been an influx of inexperienced, young, and high charging escorts as the pandemic subsided. I have a theory.

They probably heard what everyone here heard. There's pent up demand, and a lot of extra money out there. Most won't stay long. They're just looking for the chance at quick bucks.

I have seen some "inflation" from well-reviewed escorts, but not all. Sometimes that influences my decision; sometimes it doesn't. I personally believe the "standard 300" fee from before the pandemic was too high; maybe the pandemic corrected it.

$400 might be worth it, but its the 'send an uber' crap that annoys me. If you need to build in cost of transportation to your rate, just do that. Don't nickle and dime me. You're becoming a bad airline.

First of all, that’s a disparaging, derogatory reading of what I wrote.

Secondly, I do look holistically at the guy. And I’ve found that those who haven’t fallen victim to “Hollywood glam” are much better at providing. Add to that that they’re not as expensive, it’s a better combo for me.

I resent the idea that I’m picking over providers like menu items. I resent it greatly and find it personally insulting.

Or they’re desperate in these “difficult, unprecedented times.”

This really bothers me. I cannot express exactly how much it bothers me. The negative association you choose to make out the gate without knowing me and assigning value to my statements that nowhere near approached the level of - “menu” of men.

And add to that the piling on that members of this forum have done to applaud it. It really does say that there are people here are predisposed to be jerks and assholes. Instead of reading something as a neutral statement or even saying, “Surely my gut reaction was wrong and he didn’t mean that,” some will go with the worst case, most insulting interpretation at hand.

You seem to be getting very upset by an off handed comment someone made. Maybe take a break from the forum for a bit? You've literally resorted to saying that people here are "predisposed to be jerks and assholes". Come on now. It's truly not that serious.

I don't think that's the standard but SOME guys can get away charging that because they're gorgeous.

Is NOT about transportation rate is about making sure a potential client is for real and not someone anonymously texting from a app playing games.

Til I make such a comment. Then it’s very serious.

I have to call my bank if I want to take more than $500 out of the ATM! 

Do you have to show the bank his profile for them to approve?

Not to equate escorts with consumables, but to illustrate my approach to spending my money…

I’ve paid more than $400 for a wonderful meal. I’ve done that in NYC, Paris and London. I have no regrets. But I wouldn’t pay that for an ordinary meal each day.

Similarly I’ve paid much more than $400 for a night’s stay in numerous 5* hotels around the world. But I’d never pay that to bed down in a 2/3* hotel.

Personally I enjoy sex regularly and I generally like the BFE. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to have some really nice, handsome guys as my boyfriend. But when I’ve been “between boyfriends”, I’ve hired. Price was never my main concern. What I wanted was a guy with model good looks and a muscled body who was sexually compatible with me. 
 

If I were to calculate the number of orgasms versus the cost, I’d guess that I’ve often had great sex for less than $400 an hour, sometimes much less. I’ve also had great sex for more than $400, just as I’ve had merely adequate sex on a few occasions. 
 

With the general cost of living in NYC, and the rate of current inflation, I’m not surprised that enterprising young men now ask $400.

I agree that it just depends on the quality of the service for which there are many factors including - looks, on time, convenient location, pleasant disposition, and is he into me.   I always look for a provider that I am willing to be a repeat client based on those factors.  I am willing to pay up not to have to chase a great experience but prefer a regular provider.   My question becomes, do you find more regulars when you are paying more? Are the higher priced providers looking for regulars or just the quick payout?  No criticism either way but I usually can figure it out early in the session.

I should also add a caveat- I see people from NYC, California,  and overseas visit Chicago and charge these prices. Chicago isn't NYC. Not all providers adjust for location.  Their prerogative, but it'll probably hurt their business.

Is $400 really that much? If you are really worried about the difference in  200 or 300 or 400 then maybe you would be better off putting some funds into your 401(k) because if money is that tight...you need to stick to porn online.  

[xyz48B]

@DrownedBoy– I agree with you largely. I especially agree with you regarding the competitive rates in the market where you find yourself.

You’ll all sorts of defenses to the contrary here, for various reasons. The most popular “if he can get the rate, let him.” Very capitalistic, but you’ll also see that the vehement advocates for that capitalism only seem to care so passionately about the supply side.

For some people on these forums, that is a big difference.  I’ve had a few private conversations with some of the guys on these forums, and they do have financial limitations where they do have a fixed monthly income, and only have so much extra money to spend on some of the finer things in life.

You’ve got members in this forum who act like unless you make seven digits, you shouldn’t be involved in this hobby. Not my view, but the provincial, myopic view of some here.

I don't think I have seen that attitude around here, but point me to it if I missed it.  What most guys are saying , from my reading, is that there is a difference between cost and value...and they are willing to pay the cost only when it aligns to the value they desire. 

I have established limits for the various experiences I desire. Cost vs value is one of those limits. That means sometimes I walk away from an opportunity. 🤷‍♂️

I had a conversation with one guy on here who was only on social security and used to hire quite a bit back in the days of $200/hour and less, and said that $250/hour was the max for him.  He said he hasn’t hired in awhile now because prices have gotten too high for him.

I understand your point. The escort should put the need for uber in their advert then.  It's extra time back and forth that I don't need to deal with. Would be better to know upfront... that way, I can skip their ad.

I'm so used to going to the ATM 3 times a week to get my escort allowance. For some reason, i feel guilty withdrawing 1500 at a time.

I’m astounded by this, tho I don’t doubt your veracity @HoseMaster. I thought social security in the US was not so generous that there’d be money to spare for hiring.

He told me social security, plus whatever other minor income was coming from retirement.
