excessive rates

[bigcxxk]

price of advertising per week... 100euro... price of apartment per night anything from 100 euros to 150 euros... price of items and clothing to please you guys anything from 50euros to 300euros.. and thats being kind... price of flights.. 40euros to 150 euros... price of excess baggage 10euro per kilo... money needed to begin a tour 1000euro to 1500euro and then try and make some money.. fcuk me how many 30mins at 50euros will it tke to cover before you even earn... so lets face it its not 3euro odd a minute...xx

20 to 30 half hour appointments at €50/half hour.
10 to 15 at €100.

when you think of it like that, it dosen't really seem like a whole lot, seeing as some ladies on the boards say the have up to maybe 8 bookings a day. 2 days then to cover your costs and start making some cash

Thanks for the breakdown - it's something I've often been curious about.

100/wk for advertising: Wow - I apparently grossly underestimated how lucrative the advertising industry was.
100-150 / day for apartment: Is this a typo? if you're paying 3000 - 4500 per month for an apartment, then it seems you're being screwed in more ways than one.
Price of sexy clothing (50-300): That would explain why so many girls have met me at the door naked then.

I've kinda got the tone from this thread that overheads for escorting in Ireland are higher than overheads for escorting in other countries. What would these be? I'm not asking anyone to justify their prices - prices are justified if someone knowing what they're getting in return willingly pays those prices, but this thread has peaked my curiosity.

i'm just going to add my 2 cents worth. cos that's possibly all it is worth. anyway, i do feel that some girls, not all, before anyone jumps on me, are charging too much. i know that this little country of ours is a complete and total rip off. that is the case in a lot of areas. insurance costs, fuel costs, cost of living etc. but ask yourself this question. why are there so many foreign escorts here? it's not because they like the weather. it's not for the wonderful facilities on offer. it's because the money to be made from escorting is substantial.

girls will tell you that they charge high prices for their services because the cost of accomodation is so high. in apartments maybe. they will tell you they are being charged up to and over €600 for an apartment for a week. why do they have to pay that? i know for a fact that there are hotels offering rooms from as little as €49. how much does an escort in brazil, argentina, spain, uk, or any of the eastern european countries charge? you'll find it's probably substantially less than here.

another of these old chestnuts is the fact that an escort charges for time and companionship only. that is just a legal loop hole. how many punters have actually booked a girl for an hour of chat? not too many i would say. escorts are not stupid. they know they will have to perform sexual services for the money. i would also say that if they are charging for only time and companionship, then there should be no extras. some will do owo, or anal for example for an extra €50. eventhough it may occur in the aforementioned time slot that has been booked. and if they charge for time only, why is it that a lot, maybe not so much now, charge a higher hourly rate for a half hour as opposed to a full hour. in the boom lets say, that standard hourly rate was €250. that equates to €4.16 a minute. you would assume then that the half hour rate would be €125. but no, it was €150.

that's like me, for example, working an 8 hour day for €80. i tell my boss i will be working 4 hours tomorrow, but i want €50 for that. how do you think that would go down? it wouldn't happen. the vast majority of girls now are charging €200 an hour, with €100 for a half hour, and that is fair enough. but if i just want a 15 minute appointment, I can't get one. and certainly not for €50. which would be the rate for their time. that has always puzzled me.

anyway, i suppose that's about all i have to say. i'm sure that there are some people on here that are going to be offended by all this. i'm really not trying to offend anyone.

BC, can i give you a bit of advice;

girls charge what they do, it's very clear what they charge and if you are unsure all you have to do is ask, If you are not happy with the charge, you can always pay yourself and "have a wank for yourself" as ciara aptly put it.

simply - you are free to visit or not visit an escort, just the same way as you can choose a to walk or pay for a taxi.
expecting the beautiful girls se have here to only charge €50 i find insulting, i can't imagine how insulted the escorts must feel.

you could or which you get at the bargain price of €0!!!

if u have read my post, there is nowhere in it where i say that girls should charge €50. i stated that if they are charging for their time and companionship, that there should not be any extras. i also said that not all girls were charging too much. i said some were. i also stated that the hourly rate dosen't translate to shorther appointments in some cases. i do know that i'm free to visit girls if i want, and i have done, and will do again. but to be honest, there are a lot out there who do not provide a value for money service.

Not having a go but just a couple of things from an escorts point of veiw.

15 min punts= usually more than 15 mins, usually guy pushing his luck and tries for a lot longer also it would only be a suck, fuck and go.....not my cup of tea!

Cheap hotels= not discreet and some guys will not see an escort in a hotel plus cleaning girls have beady eyes! Also the price you gave for hotel IS cheap but is it clean! If I am away from home I never want to stay in a dirty, smelly shit hole! Remember you may only be there for 30 min or 15 but escort will be sleeping there for several days. Also I tend to think accomadation say alot about an escort.

I don't mind paying the going rate I think it's money well spent and I have always got quality .Escorts have to live to so really if you can't afford it don't do it.

Now with the recession and given that Ireland is one of the poorest states in the E.U. its about time escorts reduced there rates..a more realistic rate would be 50 euro for 30 min and 100 for 1 hr...mayby the escorts should realize that many of there clients are now unemployed and they should realize that these clients no longer have an income and that during the boom years were the people who supported the escorts when normal rates were 150 and 250 for 30 min and 1 hr respectively...mayby its time to give a little back ladies

Did you support them in the boom out of the goodness of your heart? didnt really want to have a shag but felt you owed it to them? if not then why should they. If you get elected minister of sex would the last sexy peice of ass please switch of the lights.

Lets hope post #13 isnt wasted like post #12!

Like Ciara says.... visiting an escort is far from a necesity, its more of a guilty little pleasure so if u cant afford it shut up and have a wank. Couldnt have put it better myself!

50 Euro = 42.326389 Pound Sterling
1 EUR = 0.84652777 GBP | 1 GBP = 1.18129614 EURSource: MSN Money

What planet are you on! No English girls would come over if all guys moaned about the price!!

Some girls pay tax...some don't
Some girls claim welfare...some don't
Some girls live outside of Ireland...some don't
Some girls have excellent reviews....some don't

The list could go on and on as to why some girls need to charge the price they do, I for 1 would never see a guy who goes on about prices as this is a huge turn off!!
