Are prices making you think about quitting?

[MrMatrix]

Agreed with this.

Price is a huge factor, it's not just the affordability... It's the value for money too...

Anybody earning two quid PER MINUTE is on an exceptional wage....

Now that the 140/150 quid per hour is creeping in, occasionally I'll push to that but she's got to have a stellar reputation, give an outstanding service and be well recommended....

Any new lass that thinks charging above two quid per minute without a good/great reputation can keep her knickers up in my book... I'll not be visiting.

Ofcourse, the mugs that pay it regularly are the reason they charge it 

Agree entirely. Added to that is regional cost variation. SPs visiting London will often increase their charges from normal tour locations. One thing I do know is that higher end cost does not equate to a better performance and often far from it.

[shagmore]

Have noticed that more and more are tending towards the £140-160 mark, whereas was £100-110. Some have see a dramatic increase in price, others I have noticed have not put up prices for some considerable time.
Usually find <£100 is with EE, but saying that some are starting to go higher.
I ave cut down due to personal reasons, money isn't really a factor for me as long as its a good experience. Hence why when I find a good fuck I will tend to keep going back because you know you will get what you want

In Yorkshire there is a handful of EEs sub £100. A lot of popular EEs have jumped up to £120 after getting good reviews, I don't blame them, but it has meant they need to justify the price increase by keeping up a great service, some can, some can't.

[Rock123]

At this time not really as I don't punt very often nowadays so I have a decent amount of disposable cash that I wouldn't have had say 18 months to 2 years ago when I was punting more regularly. Such is the dearth of british SP's where I am located. So when I see one available and they have good reviews on here then I'd be willing to go above what I'd normally pay for a 30 min punt.

[Taggart]

Price isn't the issue for me, it's the lack of talent. Definitely thinking of packing it in and sticking to civvies.

Agreed 100%. At the height of my punting I had several quality girls to chose from but now the choice is useless Roms, mediocre EEs or Latinos, and picky Brits with more T&Cd of a list of ‘cant do this/that’ than a commercial contract.

Civvies interest me but seem like bloody hard work with the messages and  planning. Punting doesn’t have the same appeal it did 4 yrs back.

OWO is pretty much guaranteed though, CIM not so much.

[Tomcat200006]

Price isn't an issue for me, but I still look for something that appeals and that is a decent price otherwise with my work commitments I just don't bother.
In fact having more time on my hands just now, messaged one, even put in a booking request only to be ignored.
I'm sure I read something about SP's finding work slow right now ........can't win!

[Bangers and Gash]

I can identify with this. Far too many mediocre women thinking they're superstars.

Gamble £130 on a pro$$ie who probably can't even be arsed to wash her crack? or spend the cash elsewhere. Good shoes or maybe a nice jacket, a night on the tiles, 43 pints of lager, a new mountain bike, return flights Corfu etc... or a 50% stake in Notts Forest.

You did see a girl called Diamondinthemuff. That is a great pun, almost worth it for the name.

[Bangers and Gash]

Nearly 2 years ago. Vastly overrated on here, and mediocre to boot. 

[Mr_Shins]

Ive no idea as ive only risen my price £10 over the past 5 years so im still lowish priced

You also host your incalls in your own home, which makes the costs lower. It's also something I far prefer when I am visiting an escort.

I also look at rates for longer punts and those who offer good rates for those are attractive to me (as long as I like the woman, of course). And a long session for me is a mix of sex, fun play and social.

One woman I saw regularly put up her prices rather high but has lowered them again and I hope we can do our usual dinner together later in the year.

[Ali Katt]

I can't say I've seen her so can't comment on the girl. The name is a gem though. I've seen a few well reviewed girls that turned out to be a waste of time, so I can relate, in my early days I even believed the AW feedback. It's all a learning curve.

[Cceon]

Very good points here, would re-iterate that the price / value ratio seems to be distorting upwards and personally I don't accept that. The S+D argument seems to hold water but what's at the bottom of that ?

FLUFFERs; desperado men willing to pay OTT prices, falsely inflating the egos of the wgs and ruining the market. Though we cannot force them to change, what we can and should do is EXPOSE their antics on places like this.

Just to add, the civvies market is actually looking a little better and I'm thinking of jacking it in and getting a " serious " relationship.

[Fulcrum]

Could it be a Brexit related inflation? Let’s ask Theresa and Boris!

I won't do them even if they paid me to! 
Sorry, couldn't resist it.

Nailed it! I remember how London was in 2014, had hundreds of women in my HL. Now it's only 1 page and I've seen almost all of them.

I've been fortunate with civvies recently as I live in a University town and lots of women around my age need attention

Where is it? Maybe I can give them attention too. I haven't punted for months now due to lack of quality or lack of funds

[Fulcrum]

30 or 45 minutes once week and occasionally 2 X 30 minute sessions  twice a week are affordable for me. But haven't punted since July this year.
My limiting factors are - some of the ones I want to meet work exclusively out of hotels which I'm not keen on. That leaves the odd EE girls with good reputations. A few won't meet men of my ethnicity. All in all I have 48 WG on my HL - including those who work out of hotels and some I've kept there with he notes I've made. I've met 12 on my HL.
My job can occasionally involve  working at short notice which doesn't help. I've had to cancel meetings with SPs at short notice - I try to give at least 12 hour notice.

[hendrix]

As long as I'm in the mood, I'll punt. Price doesn't worry me as long as I get exactly what I want. However, there's been a lack of proper filthy WG's in London for a few years now, the truly talented are down to single figures for my tastes.

But, no punting would mean no sex, so that's not really an option if I'm horny

[Haruki]

It's such a shame that we can't use our community buying power to bring prices down. A collective abstention until prices drop would work but never happen.  There is a highly rated AW stunner charging £170 per hour in my area.  I refuse to pay it but others do so her prices stay sky high

[Foxtail17]

I have only been punting about 2 years and live out in the wilderness of Suffolk so lack of talent at a good price is what restricts me, as well as availabilty at times that suit me. On my travels I always try to endure punting time is factored in and find RB are working for me to find good value. I generally do longer bookings and outcalls and have found this sorts out both good value in monetary and service terms.
On the odd occasion I might treat myself to a well reviewed higher priced girl, but As others have said, is the service any better from the so called coutesan?

[Mr_Shins]

Not sure where you are but £170 per hour is above average but not extortionate here, £200 per hour or more generally is.

When it gets to longer bookings I expect to see the rate lower so I'd pay less for the second hour than for the first. If their rate doesn't reflect that I simply won't make a longer booking with them.

Many of them I think don't even think of offering a better price for longer bookings, e.g. £150 for 1 hour but only £250 for 2 hours etc.

Why are you not keen on hotels? They are designed for trysts.

[bobby1973]

i wont pay more than £100 per hour
thats over a days wages for me
no bird is worth that to me
just buy a good flesh light

[FlaccidChimp]

When you explain in those terms it puts this in perspective. The vast majority of people I know make between 50-150 a day. A days work for 30-1hr of her time is a lot, especially if you're not fond of your job. It's especially a waste if the service isn't good.

Anyway, I was viewing some old videos and pics the other day. Attractive girls at their end teens and early twenties are there. Most of these are foreign, without fluent English but were still good value for money. £80-130 per hour for attractive young girls. One I paid 90 for 30 mins with now charges 300 per hour.  She's the only one remaining in the city.

One was quitting but meant to stay in contact because she didn't mind doing it with me. But I lost her number and didn't bother to get hers. I would have chased it up if I knew the market would get this bad. Recently I've been lucky to find a hot girl for 150-200 per hour which I can't afford to regular.

[Fulcrum]

Because I'm quite distinctive and stand out. Don't want to get the SP into trouble JIC challenged by reception!

I feel the same now,Some of the Girls here in the Bristol/Bath area now have gone from charging £120 an hr to charging £160-£200 an hr plus extras in some cases!.I think its time to bin off punting when I see them posting on Instagram or Twitter about there new Jimmy Choos or Louboutins that they've just spunked a bag of sand on.I started punting in 2006 when you could get an hr with a great girl for a ton or so now you are luck to get 30 minutes for that!.The whole thing has gone mad,I know you can't compare 2006 to now but how many people have enough spare cash at the end of the week/month to afford the prices as they are now.I'd rather spend the money on something I'm not going to think of as a waste of cash 5 minutes after leaving the punt.

[Fulcrum]

Having said that I've been for a punt in a hotel. Maybe it was the time (around 11 AM) the whole housekeeping.  maintenance and general mayhem put me off.
I'm sure reception know what's going on, if a SP keeps booking a room for a few days a month. But don't want to chance it. Happy to 'learn' tricks of the trade!

Whenever you put punting in financial terms it doesn't make sense. That's not why we do it.  It's a bit like spending a months wages on a 1 week holiday, it doesn't  make financial sense but we still want to do it

[bobby1973]

a months wages on a weeks holiday
dont know where you go
£500 can get you a nice all in week away
unless your taking the whole family
which fair enough
but you dont take the whole family on a punt

  Which location is this? A week away in another part of the country?

[bobby1973]

not in this country
canaries,spain,turkey,portugal or greece
all under £500 a week if you shop around

[MrArmagh]

I wouldn't say quitting but deffo punting less. its easy enough to miss £30/£40 from the salary but £100 is a bit much every week.

[MrMatrix]

yes and not so easy to justify the withdrawl to the OH if its a joint account either I would think.

[MrArmagh]

thats it.

im nearly thinking of like putting £50 quid in the car but withdrawing £60 and keeping the £10 in my 'fund' you know. or something like that really.

not that she looks over every penny but its more just incase she does get the quarterly bank statement and go through it.

[seeker]

Finance is not a problem for me ,4 years ago I punted once, twice a week
But now down to maybe once or twice a month or less  , partly due to lack of talent and partly due to new or mediocre wgs thinking they can charge 80-100 hh because they see other girls charging that .
Only occasionally  seeing a few regs 80-100hh who deliver what I like and I therefore i consider VFM

[Silver Birch]

In my head I have a maximum budget of £150/hr but she has to tick a lot of my boxes for me to pay that much. I used to always favour 1 hour meets but on the rare occasions that I do punt these days, I'm mostly paying £80 - £100 for half an hour because I don't think many wgs are worth the full hourly fee they are asking for.

I doubt I will quit completely whilst I have 2 brains making my decisions, but I have only had about 5-6 proper punts in the last 2 years but that is more due to lack of desire than cash - Spent plenty on massages though 

[Newtothisstuff]

I've commented a few times on different threads about increased prices and falling standards. I'm taking a break from punting because of it.
There are just too many girls charging far too much. Not that long ago, you could look on AW and there'd be lots of choice at £50 for a half hour. At £60, you had most girls in the area appear on your list. Now, girls are just taking the piss. More and more are either putting prices up to £70-80 for a half hour.... or worse, they're increasing their prices AND charging for more things as as an 'extra'.
I've stopped punting for a while because I just can't enjoy a punt when I know the girl is now charging over £3 a minute! I texted a girl I'd seen before about making a booking this summer. She used to charge £50 for a half hour. Now, her rate is £80 with OWO now £10 extra. No way was I going to pay her £1 every 20 seconds! Nobody is worth that!
