Irish Escorts and price

[herodotus]

What does I am familiar with the book(s) mean?

Either you have read the book in which case you can comment on it or you have not read it in which case you cannont comment on it.

And, there is only one book so why did you say 'book(s)'?

I am familiar with the book(s) but the case study does not explain (never mind perfectly) why only Irish girls have clients that are not price sensitive which is what you are implying. I can undertand the use of price as a discriminator - that makes sense. What I fail to understand is how this can be an overwhelmingly Irish phenomenon. In fact that has really been my core question - not why do some charge more than others but why are the Irish as a group so expensive. Do they really have something over and above the rest or is it simply that like the rest of Irish businesses in recent years they are so used to exorbitant prices they can't help themselves.

It is seen as disrespectful to ask the question on these forums why prices should be questioned. Every girl has the right to charge what they will. Well Similarly I have the right to choose the girls that charge what I deem appropriate.
I will however add that many here feel they receive more that just an empty of the hairy sack, but rather an emotional connection. But hey, I've learned and don't judge. As I get older I've lost friends and see that one day that will be me. So everyone has their own expectations from a punt. No one is wrong

Im my experience, as I have said before, price does not equate to good nor bad service. I just want an escort to provide a good service. I'm not paying for them 'to have time for me' (whatever the hell that is). If they advertise a service for a particular period of time than they should provide that service with good grace irrespective of price - and I have always found that the girls at €100 or less provide a fine service. Logically it is far more likely that they will provide a better service as they will rely more on repeat business and more clients than the rip-off merchants.

I have no interest in getting into some mind game where I delude myself that the escort sees me as very much more than a meal ticket, no more than I think the girl at Tesco's fantasises about me.

And the idea that you can get only a certain type of girl at certain prices is simply not the case. You can even get an Irish girl for €100. The point I am raising is that nine of the sixteen charge €150 which is way way above the average for any other niche group I have looked at. And these ladies are living in the same economy as the Irish girls.

Yes, girls are entitled to charge what they can - why everyone needs to repeat this obvious mantra I don't know. But I am equally entitled to suggest that that someone charging much higher prices in the same economic conditions as someone else for largely the same service is ripping people off.

YOU ARE A SAD INDIVIDUAL
if you believe that trip!

Bloody hell

Excellent, OnlyMe.

ELEVEN PAGES GUYS??

[Sam Spade]

Your analogy is spot on - a rational person should pay the lower prices all other things being reasonably equal.

But you disagreement with me is ill-judged. I have never said that the price of escort charges is anything other than a function of the escort/client agreement. It is remarkable how people assume that I am somehow challenging this reality when I am not.

The point I am raising is that the majority of listed Irish escorts are charging top dollar when all other groups I have taken note of have much lower prices and I can conclude only that the old Irish rip-off culture of recent years is alive and well.

Have you ever looked at 'MoneySupermarket.com'

Need I say anything more?

Either you have read the book in which case you can comment on it or you have not read it in which case you cannont comment on it.

And, there is only one book so why did you say 'book(s)'?

There are two books. Freakonomics and Superfreakonmics.

You are too deep for us Lucy at this time of night.

I once read " the importance of being ernest". that was a book

[Banjo]

I can never fathom why bringing up this topic provokes such a reaction evey time.

I rest my case. As Lucy says - 11 pages guys ??? Why does this topic alway hit such a nerve ??!

[herodotus]

Fair enough! HD only referred to the second one which is why I was wondering, but I see why he said books now.
