Sadly this is happening on a slow but steady basis, ladies are slowly but surely leaving.
On rates being charged, I'm a firm believer in paying for quality of service.
I hope I'm not being too crass using the following analogy:
But for me seeing an escort is a feast for the senses, a pure indulgence.
Think of it like this, you can go and have a meal in Supermacs. Sure it will fill you.
But compare it with going for a meal In somewhere like 'Chapter One' there is no comparison.
My favourite lady that I see regularly doesn't display prices, now you may think me a fool but the price I pay now is the same price I payed when we first met, I've never even thought of discussing it as I am perfectly happy to pay, as the service is second to none. In fact I would say the service is getting better and better.
So I think there will always be a Market for the higher end of the scale as people are willing to pay for quality of service.
