Jarrod_Uncut Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Specifically referring to Saint Louis area. The person I’ve been staying part time when I’m not in Kansas City is “downsizing” and handing the townhouse back to the owner: but I’ve decided I don’t want to remain because biz has taken a nose dive 🛬 over the past few months. On top of that, most every place in the city and surrounding has raised rents. It’s disgusting. It’s barely any biz going around, yet the hotels and apartments are wanting much more than they were asking just a few years ago. I actually had more from using apps this week, than I have from RentMen. But those were done at much lower prices and, I had to entice them offline… I like that it’s central to many cities in the east (eastern time is only 2.5 hours away) and the south (Nashville/Memphis) and north (Chicago/Milwaukee) and not too far from the west (two crossroads that lead to the west). Only thing is: when I’m here lately, I’m finding myself always wanting to go to a different city. I remember years ago, I used to travel thru St. Louis whenever I went between Denver and everywhere else East, and I never got much hits even then. It was always something where somebody wanted me to host, and before I was asking for deposits: I have on a couple occasions gotten hotel rooms and their person I expected: didn’t show up. So the idea of staying doesn’t seem appealing. That said: I’m looking to start touring again going into Spring by returning to visit cities where I did good in last year and the year prior. I’m just unsure whether rates may be a factor, but I know in the area I reside: RentMasseur in particular here, people seem to only want to do $150/$200. And idk what the hell with RentMen but, the month of February I only had 2 actual clients from the site between 3 cities. Seems like all they want to do on there is ask to unlock private pics and send messages on messenger to engage, instead of just following thru. I’m hoping an updated auto reply with more detailed info, will help cut down on the BS.

Jarrod_Uncut Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 And then here’s an article that further elaborates.. St. Louis and Missouri have some of the largest rent increases in the nation WWW.STLPR.ORG New data from a rental company shows Missouri had the biggest increase in the median price of rent. Other... They charging more for everything out here, but biz has gotten less and less. I feel this area is rigged to keep sex workers poor lol. People expect you to always have a place ready to host, but then don’t want to pay the rate asked. Almost like having to be confined to only charge $200 or less 🤦🏾♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you move because you can't make $ where you are, it's a shame you wouldn't be able to deduct your moving expenses if you pay taxes. soloyo215 and pubic_assistance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you move because you can't make $ where you are, it's a shame you wouldn't be able to deduct your moving expenses if you pay taxes. Well in my case, there is no moving expenses because from the start I kept it light. All I brung fits in my vehicle, everything else is just the furnishings that were already at the place. As for it being everywhere, that is true but: considering it’s the highest in the nation is alarming. Just goes to show because almost every time I name a rate, it’s a discussion about affordability. Some places can be obliterated by price increases. I’ve said it before about Denver: I used to make a decent bank in the 2010s era, when prices went up steeply: business got slower and slower and eventually died out. Now, every dude and his grandmother is trying to do escorting and it’s no longer viable to me. Seen the same thing in Nashville, except Nashville is almost surpassing Denver in terms of wealth and development due to its becoming the next “Beverly hills of the South” (move over Atlanta lol) This is why I’m leaning towards becoming either a $500+ provider or stick with $150 as a baseline because: $250/$300 may be doable for some but still out of range for most. So at the lower price, it’s no guarantee volume is going to go up. My last two bookings have been $500, and even though things have been slow coming out of February (from my research, is a slow month for some in the industry, especially if you’re not in snowbird central e.g. Palm Springs, Florida or Arizona).. At least with each booking I was able to get what I needed to have done. If I did the same bookings for just $150 or even $200, it would not be the same.

If it's together, is that considered a kink? Who would be hiring? Do they target their ad to that specific clientele? Is there enough of a market? Never having had the $ to afford to hire, there is so much I do not know about the industry... pubic_assistance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, you’ve never been able to hire a provider before? I mean I guess sex work does cover both in person and cam work but…okay. And by grandmother, I mean “many”, obviously not their actual grandmother 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv2play Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 That tune sure takes me back 40 years ago. I was young (ish), had a good looking boyfriend, a great job and $$ to do whatever I wanted. Of course I had to work for it but the work was fun too. Those were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
