Today's Fees/Rates for Escorts in the US of A?????

[Mocha]

. The truth is that technology has created a multi-tiered system in which some are asking for and getting more, and some are forced to charge less. Just don't assume that the lower prices indicate lower quality. I'm willing to put my hires up against any higher priced guys and would welcome the results. Feel free to PM me for recs.

 

That's true. That's how Denver is, despite people saying it "could" become size of Chicago in a matter of 5-6 years..which would explain because Chicago is whack shit when it comes to business.

 

Ive been succesfully selling 250-300 all week long, and as soon as I get back to Denver, I get, "can you do it for $80?" So...in those instances one does get forced to charge less, but I travel so often, I don't have to relegate to some bullshit ass prices.

[jawjateck]

Oh, and my all-time greatest overnight hire........was..........300.

 

I better not say how much this amazing man charged me for a 3 night weekend, which also ranks as one of my all-time best. Some of yall might experience trauma.

Why don't you consider street prostitutes? Here's an article from a decade ago about hotels in New York that were a bargain for under $250.

 

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/11/travel/10-new-york-hotels-for-under-250-a-night.html?_r=0

 

How would you feel if you were a twentysomething and the retiree you have to fuck spent more on the room than on the hour with you?

 

Ten years later, there are still good hotels in New York under $250. As with hotels in NYC, the same is true of escorts if you are creative in your thinking.

P.S. Nor have I ever taken anybody home from a strip club or bar and then found out he was using somebody else's pictures.

[jakeleyman]

I like to hire off social websites, sometimes with guys who have never hired out, or meet guys in strip bars. Yeah I know, not smart, but I guess it's my thing. I don't do this to save money - I figure new guys deserve similar compensation to the going rate and I don't try to lowball. I often am in New Orleans for business and for the past few years have usually offered 2 bills and it has been pretty readily accepted. Tips have come at times. Not sure what to think about the prices mentioned here and whether to offer more.

That's one of the advantages of taking a more adventurous route when hiring. You find the gems at low prices. Others may want or need to hedge their bets more.

 

As Adam Smith says, some don't want uncertainty or risk. For all kinds of reasons, I'm in that category. For one thing, not the kind of gal who feels comfortable or wants to pick someone up at a bar, not just because of personal security reasons, but because I need more of a sense of someone's personality before having sex with them. Hence escorts with websites, reviews and other feedback are a boon to me. Also cuts down on time spent looking fruitlessly.

 

Gotta say, while you can nitpick the details of what he wrote, I agree with jimboivyo. This isn't a topic that's good for much more than venting, which (this is my opinion) doesn't take long to look like whining. Escorts charge what they charge on bases mysterious to most of us (and sometimes to them, it seems) and clients decide what they can afford. What more is there to say about it?

Or, even pics that are 5+ years old. But do you have time to first determine that they will be your best friend for life, are fluent in various languages, know the difference between a salad fork and a dinner fork, and can intelligently converse on the intricacies of Shakespearean sonnets? All valid reasons for an inflated fee and absolute necessities for a one hour romp in the hay f*ckfest.

What one can afford and what one is willing to pay for a particular item or service are two completely different things.

Whatever. Substitute your preferred wording. You still understand what I'm getting at.

 

With a few exceptions, I don't give a crap who's speaking or whose mouthpiece or alter ego he may be. If I agree with him, I'm going to say so.

 

Also, use of those pronouns is deliberate.

[+ SundayZip]

I agree that this topic has been discussed before but for me, that doesn't make this thread any less interesting or useful. There's plenty of good reasons for creating a thread and venting is one of them There's some good stuff in this thread. For example, Amoco's post has me rethinking my assumption that I'm always going to pay $300 in NYC. I also appreciate the comments about hiring from strip clubs. I've hired from online ads and from strip clubs and agree that strip clubs have the most predictable result.

[MiamiLooker]

I think curmudgeons can justify high fees because they’re used to generally being charged more.

[thickornotatall]

I have the pleasure of seeing one guy semi-regularly..(when my husband is in Europe)...I let him know ahead of time when I will have a few weeks available...Instead of me calling for an hour....I have asked him to call me when he has some time for dinner...a walk...and some good sex....Not a by-the hour date..but more of a date night with a very happy ending for both of us...I get to have some very good company..he has a night out..without having to wonder if he gets paid...for dinner...maybe a movie....a nice walk home...maybe walk the dogs...and then some private time....I don't like trying to find someone new...I like consistency...also never have to worry about who's showing up...He's like my baby sitter...I don't like being alone for weeks at a time in a big apartment...and yes...I have told my other half about our arrangement....He knows exactly where I am and not out getting in trouble....

QTR, everything you wrote makes perfect sense. I enjoy meeting guys in bars because you do get to know them a little.

 

But, I admit I am less selective if the guy's looks are exactly my type. Looking back, I am very surprised that things turnrd out fine always. I am very lucky that the situations never got ugly.

[+ SundayZip]

As reported here recently, last month I had as good an overnight as I've ever had. For $180 total. With a dancer I met at a strip club.

 

Doctor Smith, I concur. I have periodically been hiring out of strip clubs for the better part of two years, with immense satisfaction, and often at a fraction the cost of traditional sites. There are a few mainstream favs out there, but they are few and far between. The biz is changing....

 

My "success rate" hiring strippers for off-site dates (dates at my hotel or apartment) is over 75%. My success rate hiring guys from online ads (e.g., rentboy, rentmen) is probably around 25%. For me, there are three hurdles to get to success.

 

1) Truth in advertising. If hiring from on online ad, the guy that I meet must have been accurately represented by the ad.

2) There's chemistry. Sometimes the ad is 100% accurate and the guy has good reviews but there ends up being no spark.

3) The experience is good enough that I'm willing to hire him a second time.

 

When hiring from a strip club, numbers 1 and 2 are a given. I'll have spent time talking to the guy, gotten to know him and will have explored him physically during lap dances. This all happens before we even talk about an off-site date. Number 3 is not always a given which accounts for the less than 100% success rate. The BIG downside to hiring from strip clubs is that it's harder to get a truly versatile guy who is open to a full range of sexual activities. It's hard, but not impossible.

[maninsoma]

A lot of it does have to do with not just how much money someone has to spend, but what that consumer's priorities are. I like a nice dinner and will occasionally (very occasionally) splurge, but I generally look for either a good and relatively inexpensive meal or, at least, a good and moderately priced meal. The day hasn't come where I would pay $300+/hour for someone's company, not when I know there are plenty of other just as nice and attractive guys available for less. I suppose that if I were so inclined to spend my money this way and there were the equivalent of Sean Cody models from which to choose, spending that kind of money for an hour's time might seem worth it. But, honestly, most of the guys I see charging this rate are nowhere near that attractive to me. What's odd is that now guys who are neither particularly handsome or well built think they deserve the same hourly rate as a porn star. If those guys can find clients who value them so highly, more power to them. It isn't happening with me, though.

 

I will confess that my main weakness in life has always been music. Most people I meet think I'm a little nutty to not only spend so much money on music but also so much money on gear to play music. I have no problem spending what 99% of people wouldn't spend on a piece of audio equipment (though even then I look for bargains such as closeouts or demos), so I don't begrudge those who think it's reasonable to consistently pay top dollar for escorts. In my rather limited experience, though, my satisfaction with an encounter has not had much correlation with cost. In the world of escorting, one does NOT always get what one pays for.

Your own imitation of an escort with an ax to grind is spot on.

I'd say venting and grandstanding.

 

Exceptions versus general trends. Fantasy world versus real life.

 

Anyone can come here and claim whatever he wants. But remember: "Credibility is like virginity. Once you lose it, you can never get it back". I'd love to see and read your formal reviews, gentlemen.

 

Didn't one of the posters in this same thread mentioned something about "people with AGENDAS" some time ago? This thread couldn't be a better example.

 

Threads about "high prices and fees" appear often here. They always spark off a lot of heat and sometimes get locked. Fact is that prices have gone up since the 80' and will continue to increase in the next 10 and 20 years. Embrace it.

 

What a particular individual charges is a completely different issue.

This....+1

Judging by the responses, it is obvious that many of us have different hiring habits. Over the last few years( as SundayZip mentions) for me, hiring from strip clubs works quite well. Over all I find it to be infinitely more satisfying, but yet I also have friends who do the whole CL and BP route, and have great success, but that isn't for me, and I have friends on this forum who hire a handful of escorts that they consider regulars. For myself, like SundayZip, I like talking to a person and getting to know them first, and testing the waters a bit... before I run off and spend my Social Security check, and more often than not, spending a weekend hanging out with these guys... off the clock, is immensely rewarding.... (yes that happens )...but that's just me. Each to his own, it isn't all or nothing..

 

As the OP mentions, being a retiree, funds are not unlimited, and I feel that I am getting far more bang for the buck by doing things my way...Wait I feel a song coming on...

I tell you what... If an escort I see regularly upped his fee I'd have no problem paying it. Luckily this hasn't happened yet. In no way am I a rich man, but if a higher priced escort came along and he hit all my buttons... I'd pay. If and only if I had the money and the time to do so. Prime example is Damian Cross. He will be mine one day... oh yes, he will. Lol! He asked for a higher than average overnight rate. If our schedules had linked up, I would have saw him. I wouldn't be willing to pay what he asked from just any escort. However, I've lusted after him since he went by another porn name. So I was willing to pay his requested sum.

 

If you find someone attractive and are willing to pay whatever he demands than go for it. Some can afford the higher prices and some can't. Just like any every day situation people can budget their money well and some will go broke paying for something they clearly can't afford.

 

The main thing is be sensible about who/what you can afford. It has been repeated over and over again higher prices won't necessarily make for a better experience.

I'm just a HS teacher, so I cannot afford paying $300 fees. I did it only once, because he was my favorite porn star. I am in the DC area and usually pay 150/200, and got a diverse arrange of quality services using the escorts section of adam4adam. So far my favorite regular from there is BodyWrk202. I tried to publish a review but Daddy did not take it because his profile is not set public. If you have an account, check him. His pics are updated, he is honest and a sweet, excellent professional. I strongly recommend his escort services, never tried his massages.

[+ José Soplanucas]

Another recommendation from a4a. If you are into black guys, you may know a porn star named Rio, his base is Baltimore. He may have raised his rates, but about an year ago he used to offer a service with no penetration at 140. I saw him a couple of times and it was pretty hot (I'm mostly oral, into French kissing).

And as. Disclaimer, I'm not a hotty. I'm 52 y.o. and overweighted.

curmudgeon

noun cur·mud·geon \(ˌ)kər-ˈmə-jən\

: a person (especially an old man) who is easily annoyed or angered and who often complains

 

It's not hard to figure out who the "troika" with the hidden agenda is.

 

Venting and grandstanding that you have paid such and such amount and ridiculing those who hire through the mainstream websites is not only disrespectful but also mean-spirited.
