Some will agree with this blog/my opinion about rates, others may be offended, and or disagree. Regardless, it's my blog, so I'm entitled to my opinion....
The truth about escort rates is they rise, like everything else.....
As many of you know I've been in and out of this industry for decades.....when I started rates were 130/150 hrly +, give or take. For those rates, we would only do certain things, as the agency took a percentage of that fee. Most escorts would expect at least, an additional 100 or more per hour for full service sex and a blow job, and blow jobs then, were always covered. That was back in the late 90's.....forward to 2008 or so, it went up to 200/250 hrly, and escorts were still getting their tips on top of that hrly fee. Then in 2011 when I became an independent escort, I was charging 260 hrly+. I noticed other ladies were charging 300 hrly, and easily getting it. I decided to up my rate to 300 hrly, all in, for a GFE Girl friend experience) service. I kept that rate for 5 yrs or so then went to 320, after the pandemic to 340.....Which I still feel is to low, considering how much everything else has increased. So although many of us are now making more hrly as independents compared to my agency days, we still don't end up with much more in our pockets, considering all the expenses we have to pay to keep our business going. However, clients have for decades, had to pay minimally 200 hrly+ to get full service from a safe, attractive escort. So now in 2022, It never ceases to surprise me how many clients, (not my clients), will gripe about 300 hrly+ being to high. Yet, everything else has gone up substantially. Apparently, they feel we should never get ahead. Their small brains think we just need to see more clients to make ends meet. They feel, because they can't afford higher rates, that then higher rates aren't justifiable. They fail to realize that escorts provide a luxury service, and that those services aren't entitled to anyone. They also fail to realize that there is a difference between agency escort rates and independent escort rates. There are Montreal and Toronto agencies who send girls to Halifax, for a substantially lower rate then many independents charge. The agency ladies, I believe, don't know their worth, if they did, they'd expect more $$$ per hour. As it stands, the agency girls are paid lower but make up their costs by seeing multiple clients perday/ per visit....and an agency can keep their hrly fees lower because they have multiple girls bringing in multiple $$$ per day....Independent escorts charge more because we incur all the costs. We pay our incall fees, phone fees, travel fees, taxes, photo fees, social media/ads/website fees, amenities, etc, etc. Agency girls incur none of those costs.....So to compare an agency cost, to an independent, is just foolish and unfair.
As an independent, I'd rather have a higher rate, and see fewer clients. And that is what most who are charging 300+ hrly feel. Quality over quantity. Those who charge less are typically higher volume, meaning they see more clients to maintain a certain income and they're also less discerning, as $$, and not compatibility/chemistry, is their motivator. There are always reasons for those who charge below a reasonable rate, charge what they charge, and those reasons are sometimes unsavory and seldom good. They are either purposely undercutting other escorts, to steal clients away from them, or working to feed a habit, or to support some loser. 300 hrly is a very reasonable rate for an independent escort to be charging today, even years ago. 400 hrly is also easily justifiable, when you compare prices from years back, to today....
Most of us who understand and know anything about this biz, despise those clients who seek out the cheapest escorts.These clients are also the ones who expect the most services.....such as, msog (multiple shots on goal-to cum as many times as possible within the purchased time), bbbj (bare back blowjob), multiple positions, dfk ( deep french kissing), massage, and cim(cum in mouth).... for 200/250 hrly or less. They often are review board members and will loudly praise those they find who'll offer those services for those unreasonably low rates. Those clients will also be the first to gripe the loudest about those of us who are charging 300 hrly +.
So if you think your 200/250 hrly or lower cost escort is a bargain......you are right. Those who charge those rates and less are charging them for a reason. I'd carefully research those reasons, and be very, very careful........
