How will huge cost of living hikes affect our hobby

[Captain caveman 69]

Huge rises in food fuel energy prices. People are gonna be in poverty the likes not seen since 1950.

Any thoughts on how this will affect both punters and service providers.

I personally think prices will have to come down and all the implanted brazilians will finally fuck off to greener pastures.

Im hoping for a lot more english girls coming back on the market for 70ph /120ph but i can dream.

Any thoughts.

Even if this slant can distinguished from the general price discussion threads it's already covered: Cost of living crisis - is it good news or bad news for punters

Another boring thread about prices  why not comment on an existing one 

[Captain caveman 69]

Yes there's other threads but I'm asking for opinions on service providers pricing will they go up or down. Will the foreign girls go . Etc

A distinction without a difference, it's all part of existing discussions on pricing, the cost of living etc.

To answer your question, I’d say prices won’t come down because escorts costs will be rising just like everyone else’s. Why should they absorb the extra costs? Have you seen the soaring prices of hotels in the last 6 months. They’ve rocketed.

But, the huge rise in costs of living may force other girls to enter the game as a wage top up. So the choices may increase 

I for one will be cutting back with my punting. It’s an expensive luxury so naturally the thing I’ll reduce to offset higher living costs

some good points but still think prices will defo stabilise and possibly come down and defo think they'll be a lot of new faces but we shall see.

Let’s hope you’re right 

[SmoothieNeil]

Potentially could actually be a good thing too!

Maybe some independent ones may work with others to save on costs and share accommodation ?

[Mancunian99]

I can't see prices dropping unfortunately. Majority of new girls are following the current going rates e.g 60-70 quid for 15 mins. From what I've seen anyway but we live in hope!

I’ve kinda accepted the majority of price hikes (£150-180 hr) but would be good to get some fresh faces in the industry 🤞

Were they puntable tho CC or were they swamp donkeys?
Everytime i go on AW & search Gtr Mcr the majority are 100 for hh, a lot with no track record.
I'm mainly using parlours, got 2 or 3 faves, if i use AW it's just 15 min bookings for a quick suck & fuck, with a CIM finish ideally.

My view is that prices will stay roughly where they are. The girls will be facing escalating costs which might tempt them to increase but as punters feel the pinch too and cut back the girls will probably realise they are better with what they have. Any new girls are going to check current prices and pitch themselves likewise. If there is to be a surge of new talent that's probably not going to happen for a few months until the cost of living increases really bite and they can't obtain cash otherwise. I hope I'm wrong but I'm pessimistic.

The market has already softened a little.
I don't know you or your pricing, but too many girls have been taking the piss.

I look forward to the flood of new market entrants at sensible prices, as the cost of living crisis kicks in.
As my learned colleague has pointed out, you will have a very dusty phone.

And we will discuss it as often as we like, because there has been too much piss taking.

I’m hopeful the economy crunch will bring in new entrants to the market, nothing like competition to drive down prices plus the benefit of new women to sex work who will hopefully bring something fresh to the scene.

I absolutely think the market is softening i think this time next year the likes of 180 ph and 100 phh will be referred to by working girls as the good old days. Its defo gonna be a buyers market . As jayj  says the influx of newbies might just send the overpriced brazilians elsewhere who in my opinion fucked up the whole manchester scene.

well exactly mate i actually find working girls moaning offensive on 150 ph they surely wont even notice it. Ive set my  punting budget to 400 pcm. Max I'm paying is 80 phh and 130ph and there's some good girls out there doing a good service for that 👌.

[dubs]

As punting is a non-essential luxury services, I'll just cut down, and make use of my VR headset and free streaming services.  Put a bit of dairylea on my bollocks so the dog will lick them, and I'm all set.

They will always moan about prices it’s in their DNA sadly……
they blow a good income on shite 99% of the time and then expect handouts from regulars  with a limited shelf life you would think they would be more frugal

Sometimes want is more powerful than need

Covid has had a massive effect on everything. The WGs who were working during were taking more of a risk and there were less of them so prices  increased.

At the same time punters have got used to punting less or or not at all, so if I took a guess at demand for WGs being 25% down on pre Covid levels, a WG who previously saw 4 punters at £80phh would need to increase prices to £100phh if she saw 3 punters (and would still earn £20 less).

Of course you could argue that the decrease in demand for WGs has been matched by a decrease in WGs, and that prices will adjust in the long term. But if you factor in inflation then prices are only going to go up.

The covid pandemic forced girls to refrain from working and punters to stop punting. This thread is asking the question will this current financial situation flood the market with new girls forcing prices down. Well thats what i was asking opinions on.

I think thats a possibility mate. Hopefully the piss taking prossies, moaning about being on £3 a minute will be getting undercut by the more business savvy SP's. For me, I'll be looking to do a deal with a few of my regulars

defo mate loyalty goes both ways and if a working girl keeps her prices down gives a good service in a decent environment she'll get my coin.  To be fair we have got some good ones .

Poverty will be worse in less developed countries so if anything we will get more girls from these countries.

Its supply & demand that mainly determines prices as it did with Covid starting the rise in prices. Going forward rates for English WGs will no doubt increase with inflation as those who dont increase prices in times of inflation are in effect reducing prices. girls who come from less developed countries will charge a bit less than Engilsh girls as they do now but rates will follow the general upward trend.

Not only could there be a higher supply of WGs, but the average punter may have to cut down on their overall punting or have to be more picky in terms of what they are willing to pay to see a girl. This may put more pressure on some girls to lower their prices. I'm unsure if prices will sway either way and we may experience more of the same prices with possibly more newies with more acceptable prices.

[chadpitt]

I don't think prices will fall across the board because most WGs are more ego than brains. However, I do think supply will increase and there will be more choice at the lower end. Just like how Aldi/Lidl are taking more market share than Tesco.

Problem is, the quality out there is awful and the lower end is full of nasty Roms. Only time will tell whether competition will force the quality to increase but I doubt WGs benchmark each other based on UKPunting scores.

[Geko12]

Prices are crazy these days, fact is, we love sex and love to be balls deep in pussy. Most will pay and some will be priced out by the ever increasing prices, i started the game in 2015 when you could have a solid punt for 90-120. Through the years I have seen it gone to 130, 140, 150, 180 and now the even the average wg is charging 180-200, 250 is only increasing, a price I would still pay for my regulars, but that's as far I would go...now having said that.....

Everything else has increased in price in my personal life and that is one of the many reasons why I haven't punted since July 2021.

Up to you whether you pay or not but there are important other things in life.

[southcoastpunter]

whatever we may think of WG's prices, i think you two have got it wrong on this aspect. where are WG's moaning about their prices? in fact its us punters (well some of us) who are doing all the moaning - yet again in the 6th or 7th thread this year on prices. so its both a little unfair and inaccurate to say the ladies are moaning - they are not (at least not on here)

Alright…… if your asking me personally how this will affect me.
It won’t.

I shall still use the same amount of petrol, gas and electricity as I need and punt as much as I want too.

I live within my means. Much the same as everyone else……. Or should do.
If your punting and can’t afford to eat. Sort yourself out.

Sums it up, life has to go on.

Anyone punting with money they cannot forget about, once it is gone its gone, is going to have regrets good punt or bad 

All these threads moaning about prices are just going to annoy posters more, widen you searches to other platforms, put some effort in there instead of moaning here, good, very good punts for not a great deal of money are still out there.

To be honest if I was on the bash, less punters for more money would be my business model  , Most of the cheaper ones have no say on who, when and where they meet and for how much.
That does not matter to most though, getting a cheap bunk up is all that matters

Widen the search to what? Street walkers. You can't escape the discussion about prices so you might as well talk about it. Besides it may convince some of the cash-rich punters that they're not getting VFM. Might even force WGs to adjust prices. My point is the topic is inescapable and talking about it won't hurt.

You posted your own answer on the other prices thread  , there are lots of threads on other means than AW on here, perhaps your time would be better spent investigating them rather than moaning about AW and prices.

Of course you can avoid talking about it, just ignore the threads, which I normally do, only posted to say there are still great value punts out there if you are prepared to look.

Just last Thursday I had a great 3 hour punt for 100 quid, you can either keep discussing something you cannot change, cash rich punters will do as they please and spend their own cash however they wish, or you can look elsewhere and be proactive in changing punting for you.

This week I am a cash rich punter, the weekend was very good to me  , but I chose to stick to a self imposed punting limit regardless, others fancy blowing it in one go, no one but themselves is going to influence their own choices.

Why worry what others do, takes all sorts to make the world go round 

Going back to ignoring  , some people never listen or are too narrow minded for something new.

There's alternative options if you widen your search you will find these I won't spell it out for you, plenty of discussions about this is littered about on the forum like the seeking threads.

As Steve mentioned either you can afford to punt or not, the price wg charge for is what it is. I don't see WG adjusting their prices, same discussion was had when COVID came in and prices only went up away from the UKP there's a great percentage of punters we cannot influence, they'll be happy to pay the latest prices, WG knows this the only ones who will lower their prices are the ones with a dusty phone and bills to pay.

IMO. you must live in cloud cockoo land if you really believe that!  neither will happen to any degree to make a difference.

My point is the topic is inescapable and talking about it won't hurt.

but it won't do any good either! I would like to go and walk on the moon - i can talk about it for ever but it ain't going to happen. 

I will ask a question i have asked before (either on this thread or the numerous other prices threads) and no one has addressed it - in the last 30 years (the timeframe that many guys on here having been punting) we have had practically every economic and (punting) market condition you can think of yet prices have never dropped significantly across the board  - so why do guys think this time (if indeed we do have a  general economic downturn) is going to be any different?
