Irish Escorts and price

[Lucy Chambers]

So get off these forums and answer it then will ya ? I'm trying to call ya !

I am having a premonition here. This thread will eventually end somewhere, it will die out, and next week some other poor sucker will bring it up again and get hammered to a pulp for mentioning the war. You wait and see .....

Actually, I've just thought. Next time I'm bored and feel like I want to get up as many peoples noses as I can as quickly as I can just to be a c*nt, I'll come on here and bring up this topic. Then I'll sit back on my Lazy Boy here and laugh my arse off at the reaction.

You could also do the ones about Escorts/Hookers. Its a firestarter

The case study I was referring to was based on an American gal working in the states, who realised that there was a degree of price insensitvity for the services she offered and the higher the price she charged meant that she was booked for longer appointments. I have raised the case study to gently suggest that your observations are not unique to Irish girls as Freakonomics have already observed and studied it in Chicago, it is an interesting topic as they have sold a lot of books off the back of it! I know you are familiar with the titles I'm not sure you have read the book though, I do recommend it def worth a read :-)

But the case of the Irish girls does appear to be unique in the Irish context.

The relevance of the case study you cite is not clear to be frank. Allie, according to Levitt and Dubner, "set her fee at $300 per hour as that's what women of her calibre seemed to be charging". This is not a case where she decided to charge what she liked. She charged the going rate.

Now this is where I part company with this case study. I see stunning, beautiful foreigners of Page 3 calibre charging €100 and less while the majority of Irish girls are charging the full whack. 'Allie's' case does not explain that.

If we want an 'economics' explanation for this Irish phenonemon, how about 'super-normal profits'?

Just did a search on Irish escorts in Dublin and it turned up 16 girls. Nine of them are still toughing it out on €150 per half hour, while only four are at €100.

What part of economic downturn do many Irish still not get? Or are they taking the view that if you are in the business of punting at all you are by definion price insensitive?

Certainly in the past few months I have been enjoying great sex with plenty of foreign girls for €100 or less since I vowed never to pay more than €100 in the current economic climate. And I always feel that if you have a bad experience at €80 (which I have not had) it is less of a kick in the teeth as being ripped off for almost double that.

I wonder if there's any chance the Irish girls will acknowledge the recession anytime soon?

I've had my rates reduced for the past 2 years which is good, I wouldn't dream of upping them in this current economic downturn... I understand the pressure many are under nowadays with finances.

I have edited the unsuitable content out of your post.

The findings don't prove anything in this context I believe. Essentially her findings - unless you can refresh me on something other than this - was that her customers were price insensitive or demand for sex was not relative to the general economy. Now as the remarkable drop in prices for non-Irish girls in recent years has shown the demand for sex does appear to be commensurate with the general economy (if we assume demand to be a function of price) so the latter is clearly not the case.

Can you suggest then (if you are clinging to the relevance of the case study you cite) why customers of Irish girls are price insensitive? I certainly cannot think why this would be the case. But perhaps you can explain it.

I think you might be putting too much emphasis on one case because it is 'published'. Not sure it explains what you seem to be claiming it does.

But that didn't stop you showing your ignorance in the first instance did it you big-mouthed twit.

Why do you want the thread to be taken off topic? Why does it matter so much to you that this matter of escorts' prices is being raised? Why would you not want that?

[herodotus]

What do you think of the off side rule at the moment? I am with that guy who said that if you are not interfering with play then you shouldn't be on the pitch!
