A bit of a rant of the scene right now.

[southcoastpunter]

In which case....

If someone cannot afford it, stop or reduce the amount of times they do it to an affordable level.

Its not ricket science really?! 

Its the moaning by some and them telling others that they are the problem as we 'pay' too much that effing grates at me.

and the disrespectful way they do it (calling others twats or idiots etc) - as if they are right and everyone else is wrong (when there is no right or wrong - just right or wrong for you)

[billybobsmith]

If costs are going up, then a lot of companies may have reduced sales, so they're not going to paying overtime as it's not affordable.

Not everyone can do a second or third job, change jobs, or run businesses that sell say luxury cars that have year long waiting lists from a minority.

Sounds like Kim Kardasian telling poor people not to be poor, or whatever the phrase was.
Pretty much telling everyone here that, in Harry Enfield style, "I'm richer than thou"......"be gone peasants"

Reducing punts from say 12 a year to 6 doesn't mean the 6 you have are going to be any better.  Still could be 100% crap experiences for the same sort of money overall.

I personally want value for my money.  I don't begrudge paying a bit extra if need be, but as said, if the service turns out to be lacklustre, then it will leave a sour taste, even more so having paid a premium to be disappointed.

[PilotMan]

There's definitely a lot more neutral and negative reviews about at present.

How do you come to that conclusion?

A quick count of the London Review page as of now.

Positive 41
Neutral 7
Negative 2

Personally I would say that if someone was relying on 2nd or 3rd jobs, or even overtime then they should take a long hard look at themselves as ask whether they should be doing the hobby at all. Maybe they should consider more important areas of expenditure to fund, before spending it on a professional working girl.

If for whatever reason I found myself in such a situation (and probably way before that) I would knock this hobby on the head until such time as I got myself back on an even keel.

[chadpitt]

There is no financial problem that I know of that can’t be solved by working harder.

You want to see a SW?

You can afford to do so on your basic income?

Then do overtime.

Thanks Teresa coffey. Anymore useless out-of-touch advise you have for the rest of us plebs

Well, you could stop pushing up prices by repeatedly agreeing to pay £60 for no service?

Its not ricket science really?!

Ricket science is, however, a medical field that punters over a certain age would be well advised to bone up on (for want of a better expression) – along with gout studies and cardiology.

[PilotMan]

Dunno about this "no service" thing you talk about.

Only one of your last ten punts ended with a positive, and you still got short changed on that one.

"£60 for 30 mins. Fairly enthusiastic with the services but not top tier.".................."Also I didn't get the full 30 mins and she got changed instead of even lying down and chatting"

Your paying over the odds for these lack lustre providers, which means we all end up paying more, you need to stop

 No one is going too say that if they want something and they don't have the funds in their budget that getting extra income won't hurt that was never what my "Rant" was about it's just the level of service I was getting at the rates that are here now.
 I am not going too convince someone to do anything like slowdown/stop punting.

How many times. I see the positives more than once.

Also, how many punts actually last the full allotted time. That particular wg jacked her prices up, so still cheaper than £80 for 30mins and a lot cheaper than £210 

[jamiekinkxxx]

You would be surprised at how generous some higher end girls can be with their 'time'

[jamiekinkxxx]

You shouldn't have to 'they' should be coming to that decision themselves.

If they can't afford it, or complain that they cannot get the services they want at a certain level, but are unprepared to see less, and still cannot stop... they are addicted and need help. That applies to ANY paygrade BTW.

So what do you want?

SW to be provided as part of Job Seekers Allowance ?

There is only one person responsible for making you more money.

And that’s you, with hard work.

If you don’t want to work hard then you can’t have the nicer things in life.

You will struggle to find a truly successful person that got there working 37.5 hours a week.

If you work hard enough you can make money.

You just have to want to do it.

Get a Minicab Licence and go and do Uber.

If you graft hard you can make £1500 a week in London

Will it be easy?

No

Will it be 70/80 hours a week?

Yes.

Even doing Deliveroo or Amazon in the evening after your main job will make a huge difference.

But why should a SW reduce their profit margin or have to see extra clients because their fixed costs have gone up?

Sometimes people’s sense of entitlement is very obvious from what they post.

But at the end of the day it’s up to the SW to decide how much they want to charge.

Yeah but then you'd have to live in London and pay almost all that wage in rent  .
Be smart, live in the sticks and earn enough to have plenty of disposable.

Ok pilot. You work an extra 4 hours just to pay for the same 1 hour with a WG. That £210 isn't going to drop out the sky.

Ever heard of work/life balance?

I work a lot less than four hours to make £210, and my work life balance is pretty good. Meaning I have enough money AND free time to punt to my hearts content. 

Like I said, the decisions you made in life lead you to where you are today.

[billybobsmith]

So, to sum up this thread:

If you're poor, then it's your own fault and you shouldn't be seen out and about and spending anything because you're obviously worthless in society, and can't afford it anyway.
If you've done well for yourself, you can do what you want, at whatever cost because you can, whilst making sure poor people being kept at arms length of course as you can't be seen mixing with riff raff (unless of course it's the girl you're paying).


A lot of the time in life, you can work every hour going and still never make it.  Others do practically nothing (like my neighbour who has never worked a day in her life) and rake it in.
My workplace has a number of people who are all pally with each other and every opportunity comes to them.  Fucked up?  "Don't worry, we'll change your job title and/or move you to another department where you can do the same thing"

Everyone's definition of hard work is different, as is everyone's definition of value for money.
"I had a hard day at the office.  Had to move 2 sheets of paper for only £30k/year.  Boss is a slave driver".
"I've had to carry over 10T of bricks, do 10hrs of manual labour etc. and I'm knackered"

[hairdownthere]

But why? Doesn't matter if your a millionaire or an average Joe. Why pay more when you don't have to.

If you paid more than what the advertised rate is, that is paying more than you have to, otherwise its just what the escort thinks she needs per booking to cover her working hours/rent/food/travel etc etc etc.  Its not just us punters who have increased costs you know.

Flipping it around, what would you charge per hour for some potentially sweaty, smell, obese punter to grope, slobber and stick their dick in your mouth and arse?  Sure as hell bet you wouldn't do it for £100 per hour, multiple hours per day, multiple days per week, week after week etc etc etc

A lot of this is not about what it costs, but what you get for your money.

I don't begrudge paying a little extra for something is required, but if I'm paying £120 and 35 mins into a punt after finishing with half the services not provided, she's getting dressed, ushering me out the door saying my hour is up, I'm going to be miffed.  Pay £60 extra and get the same experience, I'm going to be pissed off to say the least.

Doesn't matter if I can or can't afford it.  It's what I'm getting for my money

100% agree with this. If someone was trying to sell you a loaf of bread for £25 , would you buy it ? no you wouldn't. But i am pretty sure we all have £25 in the bank.

[hendrix]

Dunno about this "no service" thing you talk about.

Well, I wouldn't pay more than £20 for your punts so you're clearly overpaying when you could get that service from a street girl.

+1

We all want value for money at what ever level we spend at. You spend what you can afford, on things you think are value for money to you.

If I spend £xxx on a meal at a Michelin star restaurant, I expect a very high level of service and quality. If it doesn't deliver on that at the price level, I will leave them an appropriate review and not return.

If I leave a glowing review, Pizza Express aren't suddenly going to jack up their prices as a consequence.

This site exists to help punters have good punting experiences, and that's why it's important to make sure we review girls and share as much intel as possible.

Then, we can all make decisions on who we want to see based on our preferences AND budget.

When a member starts slagging other members off for spending more than themselves on an SP,  it's pointless and irrelevant, and it's not going to make SP's lower their prices.

[hendrix]

We've just seen another example in London of a WG getting a bunch of good reviews, mentioning what great vfm she is... and the price has inevitably gone up.

There is no such thing as vfm in punting as nobody can define it. It's down to what's vfm for your personal circumstances and tastes. So maybe punters at all price points would benefit if people stopped going on about it?

[Trex]

Sometimes you have to work harder to have nice things

Do you mean work smarter. I have work harder before and I end up just earn a little bit of money and burnout working.

It’s like working out, if you workout harder you will get injured.

Who threw the first insult that was then carroed on by others? IceMan90.... calling  anyone who pays £xx+ a twat.

I think all many of us have been doing is standing our ground.

[Handel2020]

There's a lot of talk about inflation, but I think things were going downhill anyway with prices bound to rise. The question is whether they will improve for the better at some point. I can't see it happening between OnlyFans, the effect of Covid etc. At some point there will be no choice but to pay more. For the most part I have tried not to pay higher prices but since other punters will pay the prices will stay high and possibly get higher.

The only good point for me is that I seen it coming years ago. I once mentioned it on a well known punting forum and was trolled by people who said I was getting old and bitter. I was told the supply of SPs was excellent with so many Romanians. I guess I have been punting for too long. Glad I started in the 90s.

I’m sure some of you have. I’m also sure that some have been dick swinging.

Equally, I’m sure that some have been judgemental and bitter against both punters who spend more than them and escorts who set a price they either can’t afford or are unwilling to pay for whatever reason.

if you are so sure - why don't you say who, in your opinion, has been doing that?

[sensualencounter]

No thanks. I’d have thought it fairly obvious who I mean without being drawn into upsetting someone over my own opinions and them getting all offended. Just my opinion but I don’t believe that people are cash poor solely because they don’t try hard enough. Some people try plenty hard enough but can’t get past the gatekeepers, some people try hard but have other issues that hinder them. And of course some people are lazy as fuck through their own choices.

Someone said earlier about work smarter, not harder. And I agree with that up to a point. But really this is just yet another thread about some punters begrudging women making money. Or begrudging having to pay for sex. This thread is repeated constantly under the guise of “Price rises” “look at this one she’s charging a fortune” “lack of choice” etc. it’s a recurring theme with certain punters.

Exactly, misogyny and a lack in their own finances combined.
