20 per cent increase for escorts

[gonzo76]

Before the crash in 2008 the going rate was 240 an hour.

So the Luas drivers, the bus drivers and soon the Gardai are all looking for a restoration of their 2008 pay..and more.

So come on ladies...get together and organise a general increase of at least 20 per cent. Perhaps even more because rents are now sky high! You really do deserve it for bring a bit of joy to our otherwise dull lives!

Market will determine the prices I think. I am sure the ladies who ask for higher than "average" rates get the number of customers they wish to get. Naturally a lower price will attract more attention. Only the ladies will know what price point works for them to make the "right level" of income for the "acceptable level" of work, stress, risk. If the prices all go higher then it is an indication that people are willing to pay it. So I don't think an organised move is needed, if that's where the market goes, that's where the rates will go.

But they don't have representatives to sort it out. The gulf between the really too class ladies and the chancers or agency girls is not really fully reflected in the current prices.

Plenty of people don't have unions or guaranteed defined income rates. Ask anyone who is self employed. You negotiate or set your rates. Nobody is there to represent you. Well done to the ladies who charge what they wish, as high as they can push the market and hopefully they get it.

As for the gulf, well cream rises, and punters who moan about being ripped off or not wanting to pay higher rates, well, do your research first, sorry. Otherwise it's like putting your money on red or black then spinning the wheel. At any price.

I am hoping to encourage them to review their rates and hoping to counter balance the impression given by the whinging price threads.

Lol, man I know, I'm not arguing with you at all, I just think its a little pointless. The ladies are much smarter than we are and trust me they need no encouragement from us to raise their prices. Being selfish, I wish they all worked for half what they do now. Especially the top ladies... they know who they are...

I am not entirely sure that you are right. With all these moaners rambling on and on it creates an atmosphere and it would be a brave lady to hike up her prices. I have also noticed very few new top class girls have arrived here lately and I think it's because of the deflated fees.

You may have a point, but I still think that the market will generally sort itself out. If the prices are set correctly then all things being equal the amount of business should be at a steady pace. Maybe the ladies can make better money in other countries, then I guess the rates would have to go up. If we are to believe that our economy is growing at the fastest rate in the EU then I guess we could tolerate a rate increase.

All the more argument for legalisation and then there could be some form of "seamstresses guild" (Terry Pratchett / Discworld reference )

For me this is a hobby considered a rare special treat. I am not a weekly punter, more a sort of once-per-month type, so if the rates go up a little its not going to kill me.

So you hate peeps moaning about prices in price threads so your coarse of action was to create this thread where you are moaning about the moaners.
I think you should leave it to the escorts to decide how much they charge.

I have found you the perfect solution to your problem.
Seems that you are so worried about the poor girls not charging enough
Next time YOU visit a lady for an appointment, if she is charging 200 for an hour double it YOU give her 400
Problem solved for you, everyone's a winner, you get to practice what you preach and the beautiful lady gets a bigger rate

My generosity is legendary.

And as long as there are punters whinging about high rates I will defend my right to state the opposite.
