Minus a handful of SP’s, do you actually want to connect regularly with these girls? I guess that is part of the segmentation of hobbyists. Some use this as their outlet for social interactions, and others look at this as purely transactional - money for sex, and then for the SP to go away afterwards, and not have any ties. I’m in the latter camp - if I wanted to have responsibilities and care about a girl’s happiness outside of sex, I wouldn’t go looking for it with an SP. If I wanted to chat up a pretty girl, I’d go down to a bar. That’s just me.
As an agency owner and friend once pointed out to me when I was younger (and more little white knight bitch myself) - the only thing these girls are looking to do is separate you from your cash, in whatever way possible, as much as possible. Harsh. But true.
To a previous poster’s point: “Yes, prices have gone up, but the providers are the ones getting a benefit.”
I guess I’ll never be in the camp of these white knights who fall over themselves defending higher prices and acting on behalf of the poor innocent SPs. LOL. SMH. These are the assholes who have pushed up prices for everyone. Look - I’m not saying SPs should be abused, or taken advantage of. No. In a rational market, both sides need to act in their own best interest. SPs should always be demanding higher prices. Sharks do what sharks do. Natural. For clients not to always be looking for the best prices for the same asset?? Un-natural. Crazy. At least that’s my opinion. (Frankly, MERB feels like it’s devolved into a camp of white knights crowing and mewing for SP rights and benefits in the last 5-7 years instead of looking out for other hobbyists.) So damn right, I’ll bitch about higher prices for lesser products. As any rational consumer should, in my mind.
And yes, everyone has their own utility curve, and what they value. It’s a free market. Good for Montreal SPs if they’re getting higher prices. Let consumers choose. If I don’t see value, I’m free to seek other markets to spend my money. And I have. Period. It’s a big world, and there are plenty of places for hobbyists to hobby at better values.
