You don’t even hobby enough to know what the rates are these days, so why comment? If you want to voluntarily light up your cash, have at it! I’ll be chuckling on the sidelines. Incredible you’re actually quoting even higher rates than they are! Ridiculous!! But you don’t even hobby in Montreal at any kind of volume, so the whole point is moot. White knights who defend paying higher rates, wanting to pay higher rates!!… SMH. Just as bad as the NewYorkers who go everywhere and exclaim “OMG, this is so cheap, I’d happily pay so much more!” And in turn crank up inflation for everyone else.
The point is Montreal used to be a bargain.
That bargain gap however has closed,
He said 280-300 but most are actually 260 so yes he was a bit highter but only by a 20 or 2. Well the price i see the most seem to be 260 but i do see 270 and 280 for some ladies on the most popular agencies website.
Honestly i don't think the inflation in agencies been that insane... I would say its overall fair. And thats not white knighting at all. I can only look back to 2009 for personal experience but lets say then the usual price was 180. There was some 160, some 200, but most were 180. I paid once or twice 140 but this was major deal. So ill put it at 180. Thats 15 years ago. Lets say now the equivalent is 260. Thats 80$ more. In 15 years i think its not that far strech. I think where there is "reflexion" (for lack of a better term) is the Indy vs Agency comparison. The gap used to be about 100$ between them. Depending on the lady. Now its minimally 160 and not so rarely is 240 (almost double the price of agency if an indy is at 500/h). And thats nowhere near the end of it. 600 is not just a "that rare thing". Of course with indies it may be a flat fee all inclusive while agencies may charge extras. So its not black and white but you get the general picture.
So wich side is "right"? Lol. Thats debatable.
Personally i can say that when i was younger i was shocked to learn that for under 200$ i could litterally have sex with a "model-like" women. Yes at the time 200$ was still over half than a regular pay for minimal wage for a week, but the simple concept of something that was seen from me as unnaccessible was now accessible and not for a crazy sum ill never have like other things. In comparison a powerfull computer was way over 1000$ wich required a lot more savings. Im only comparing it this way in term of the "luxury aspect" or if you prefer that both these things were not required to live unless you work in computer stuff. I mean mine at the time i paid 300$ and it was very decent for what i used it for. Well when i started i was a strip club guy and i would often pay 50-60$ + beers + entrance for just boobs and butt touching. So being able to only double that and have the whole complete thing ... that seem like a bargain.
Now sure these days i am more "seasoned" and im more "used to the prices" and i don't roll on money at all, in majority by my fault and being a dumbass in my younger years, but i can still manage to have some fun in the hobby ocasionally. Do i wish i could still pay 160$ for 1h with the same beautiful model-like i used to 15 years ago? Of course lol, but that would not be realistic and i think the reality at 260 is rather very fair.
Anyway sorry for that long text of pseudo-analysis. Its just my point of view of course. And evidently a lot of factors are at play in this hobby. Mainly your incomes vs your payments/what you can spare, wich is different from anyone. So it vary for everyone.
