Prices are going up, yet our wages are the same...

[Adrian2017]

Is it me or are most girls pricing themselves at ridiculous rates. 180 pounds ++ seems to the norm for girls who are half descent looking and have a natural curvy figure.

I have punted a fair amount over my time but I struggle to spend more than 150 these days as I feel tbat at that price its cheaper to knock one out at home.

How can SPs increase there rates every 6 months yet we are still on the same wage for the last 5 years.

What do others think?

[Moby Dick]

I think you would be better off sharing your “fair amount” of less than £150 punts with the forum in the form of reviews rather than whinging about your stagnant life and not being able to afford more.

Get a better paid job?

Fluctuations in the £ are making it tougher for some girls if they’re sending money abroad. But ultimately punting is one of the few areas where prices do adjust to the market, if they go too high relative to quality then the girls phone will go dusty and they’ll bring them back down or quit

Don't agree with an SP's rate, simple - don't book that particular SP. Lots of others to choose from.  One of the main rules of punting - can't afford it, don't do it.

You must spend most of your time knocking one out at home since you've contributed sweet FA to the forum since being a member for the better part of two years.

Speak for yourself. I've never not had an annual salary review and increase.  Clearly you're an underachiever on here and possibly at work too which, may explain why you've not had a pay rise in five years.

Whinging leech.

Well, Adrian - your thread seems to have run it's natural course 

You want proper discussion? Where are your reviews?

Wait, having a wank into a sock or Kleenex is cheaper than spending cash on a sex worker? Hold the front page!!!

Lol... if you actually had any reviews people might take you seriously but for sake of discussion
1) there’s a price range for every budget. If £180 is outside of your range look at the range that is
2) Some guys really don’t help when they review girls on here and say “it was very cheap” example a recent review for Mia_. Who subsequently raised her prices from £150 to £180.. now maybe she would have raised them anyways following the string of positives but her price increase came pretty much straight after that guy’s review.

Simple economics really. If they get enough work charging £180 why would they charge less?

Absolutely.

These women are doing it for the money, not the sex. From that perspective charging 180/hr is a 50% more efficient use of their time than 120, thereby reducing the number of random blokes they have to show some willingness to shag? So it's natural - where they have the choice - to push the price as high as they think they can get away with.

[Siliconfan]

I rarely punt outside the Oriental market. The Asian agencies and most of the independents seem accutely aware of market forces. £150 for an hour incall was the rate ten years agao and it's still the rate today.

The same way the gas providers do, the electricity providers do, the supermarkets do.
Did you have a whinge at them too?

Lets assume you're right. What can you do to combat that?

[JonnyS]

My pay definitely isn't the same as it was 5 years ago... in the words of Jeremy Clarkson, "work harder or find a better job".

People like to dismiss that by saying 'its not that simple', but it's true. It's not easy or simple, but it is true. If you're not happy about how much money is in your pocket at the end of the month, you should consider doing something more productive with your time than moaning on the internet about the cost of an hour with an escort.

[pepsicolaboy]

Supply and demand?

Since there are less 'good' eurpoean options available in London (non Romanian, Albanian etc) and SP that actually build up some reviews and have profiles that aren't deleted in 5 mins, I suspect these SP think they can increase prices.

Most importantly, if enough gents continue to pay these increasing prices, why would they lower them?

 

Absolutely.

I agree

[fantasticmrfox]

Ahh punting dynamics /  conversations can be a microcosm to the bigger issues being played out in the wider world re: pay not going up for many.

Firstly, totally agree. Regardless of comments from WG in that they like sex, or love the job. Money is the motivator and absolutely nothing wrong with that and if they can maximise earnings and have the clientele, then fair enough and that's to be expected. It'd be unrealistic to think otherwise.

My second point is related and I think lies at the heart of the matter. Agree, as a whole people's wages havent gone up in real terms but there's a whole lot of people who have done very very well over the last ten years. And for some spending 150 -200 on a hobby every month or fortnight is absolutely no consideration, its just like going for a meal spontaneously. By no means is this a bad thing but I think this is also connected to WG increasing prices. If the demand and stable client base is there, it's a no a no brainer for the WG.

WG's are in it for the money. It's the same for any profession, if you're fully booked all the time you increase your prices to what the market will bear. Who doesn't want to work the same hours and get paid more.

@Adrian2017 can't get paid more because nobody wants him, so his pay has remained stagnant. Sounds like a loser , so his employer will probably be happy to get rid of him. 

[ILA2018]

As said it's supply and demand. If they can charge those prices why not? If they can't then their phones will get dusty and they won't be seeing anyone.

Personally I love seeing girls who do this on a part time basis as a job on the side seeing limited clients. A lot of these girls are well natured and do it because they love dick and the money is good so might aswell get paid for it. Turn up clean, on time and be respectful to her and she will most likely enjoy the experience and put the effort into giving you a good time.

Pretty much, I love my job but I also love getting paid, I'm sure it's the same with quite a few escorts, they love seeing men but also love getting paid. You have good days and bad days at work so it's the same for them.

[Greenanchor]

Totally agree. They love the £, and they love it if they get a nice client and a decent shag out of
it, on top.  Personally, I’ve usually fished off SA, so offer them £300-400 per meet for a couple of hours and if they’re interested then they say so. If they’re not interested in me, or at that £ level,  then I accept that and I move on.
