My 3 weekly regulars in NYC charge: 350, 500, and 700 respectively. 

Have you compared the relative value each provides? Are the price differences justified? Services rendered, looks and physical appearances, skill sets etc.

Oh no! This topic again. He can charge whatever he thinks he’s worth. It’s entirely up to him and his definition of his value. You don’t have to pay it. You might want to hire him but if you don’t want to pay his rate too bad! You can’t afford him. Buy a cheaper guy and see how good he is. 

If you think it’s an easy overpaid job why not set up yourself? See how easy it is. What price would you put on yourself for an hour of doing escort work (don’t forget to add in all the hidden costs - time spent trying to look good, being available 24/7, handling time wasters, advertising, paying for the benefits that employees get as part of their job, taking risks with your sexual health….). Now his rate doesn’t seem so unreasonable does 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.

Actually, the point remains that statistics prove otherwise. You can repeat a lie again and again. It doesn't make it true.
Circling back, although providers admittedly have additional expenses, they also are in all-cash profession. That means most don't report all of their income, and many don't report any of it.  The rest of us would be in prison if we attempted to do the same.
As of today, there are 71pages of escorts advertising on Rentmen in NYC. At 24 escorts per page, do the math. That's a lot of hookers in Gotham. That means there is a lot of $$ to be made in the business if you have the right "look" and have good marketing skills. Bozo doesn't get how these guys can justify asking for the amounts that some of them do. But hey, that's capitalism. If they can get it, the more power to them!

…It seems the only number that is not rising is our wages…  

All jokes aside, I do agree that $400 is indeed a very heavy psychological barrier (at least to me, an average wage earner).

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.

Total inflation since COVID is nearly 25 percent. And that was before gas increased 40%. That's the truth. The middle class is being liquidated.

We all agree that inflation and cost growth were out of control post-2020, but I think @BOZO T CLOWN views "recent" as 2025-2026, and inflation is much lower and more stable now than the worst inflation of 2021-2023.  If one takes "recent" to mean all of post-COVID, then yes prices rose a lot but most of the price increases occurred prior to 2024.

I've observed the same with escort rates.  A lot more $400 rates appeared around 2023, but they haven't climbed much since.  Most that I hire are still around $250-$350.

 Exactly!
People can twist numbers and stats like a pretzel to suit a particular point. But it is ridiculous to go back 5 years to justify current escort rates. In fact many, if not most, escorts currently advertising weren't in the business in 2021. 
In the last 2 years, inflation averaged 2.9%. This is a much more accurate yardstick to use. And it is a low rate. Certainly nowhere near to what an escort could claim is a legitimate reason to increase his price.
Thanks @Vegas_Millennial. You are far more articulate than Bozo.

If you cannot understand that escorts raised their prices in the wake of an overall cost-of-living increase of 20-25 percent, over the past 5 years, going from $300-$350 to $400 (an increase of 16-30 percent), I can't help you.

Nobody asked for your help.
An escort raising his price in 2026 because of high (8%) inflation five years ago makes ZERO sense. ZERO. It belies common sense. Why not go back 10 years. Or better yet, 20 years. The shelf life of an escort is not that long. Most current escorts likely weren't around in 2021. So for an escort today increasing his rates based on inflation five years ago is laughable.
According to BLS, inflation has averaged less than 3% the last couple of years. That's negligible. Not a justification to increase prices.

@KensingtonHomoand I both live in Brooklyn (or I assume he does based on his username). The cost of food in Brooklyn has gone up astronomically in the last year or so (a basic meal for two in a Chinese restaurant went up 54% in less than 2 years). That said, $400 rates have been the mode since I started reaching out to providers in 2023.

You sound like someone who works for Fox Business, selectively pulling statistics that do not reflect the lived experience of people. When prices first go up, many people will try to suck it up and cut their expenses. If it continues, they may seek additional work or ask for a raise, dip into savings. Some professions - largely white collar and manufacturing eventually got raises that have evened it out, but the lower part of the income strata has not. 

This article explains what you would know if you just spoke to like five people in the real world. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/18/cumulative-inflation-since-2020.html

According to the BLS, the increase in food prices in the NYC region has been relatively stable in the last 3 years, averaging between 2.8 to 5% per year.
If you are paying more, you should shop at a different supermarket.

Ah, that makes sense. NYC would see skyrotting inflation this year for historically low-cost items and services (such as neighborhood restaurants) that are more greatly affected by recent local increases in minimum wages. Whereas higher cost items and services, included services provided by escorts, are less influenced by the increased minimum wage and therefore their prices should remain stable.
