Hmm I'm from NYC and I don't agree with this. Manhattan girls can reach 10 customers easy. 5 Is considered a slow day. They don't come work here for other reasons.
1. High overhead cost. Owners cut is usually 100-140 per customer.
2. Cali > NY in terms of standard of living.
And that proves the point I made before, girls working in the Bay area end up making more money by the end of the month and year out, which is why they come to work here and stay longer. If 400-500/hr is more dear of them elsewhere (like many fake claims MRA or whatever) they would flock out of the Bay area in a heartbeat.

I dunno man. I am a NYC transplant and a few years ago, when I asked a some girls there, they told me they got 10 customers on some days. In the Bay Area an average girl could hit that mark almost every day! When I asked Yuna a month ago, she too told me that she saw fewer customers in NYC. But since the rate was so high she was happy to be working less.

I didn’t know the owners got a larger cut. And you are correct about the higher standard of living. But those factors still don’t explain why girls working in Arizona or Seattle charge more than here.

I dunno the owners %cut in Cali spots but I don't think as much as NYC. To be fair Kovers is still new and so they aren't gonna get the same type of numbers the other established spots get. As for Arizona and the other states, I only guessing but its probably due to "supply". Not enough talent over there so they need a higher price to get girls to work there. NY and Cali are Asian capital. If a girl can make the same money they will always prefer living in these states.

Anyone have a sense of how busy Baby is with this price model? Then we'll have our answer if Bay Area mongers will support the increase and up charge prices. I'm guessing they will.
Anecdotally, I saw Cora last week and she mentioned maybe heading to LA. This week, LSC posts that price increases are coming. 20-40 isn't going the break the bank for me but I will probably drop some girls out of the rotation at 260-280. Bye Laura and Serina. It's been fun.

As far as up charges, I usually don't go for MSOG anymore so it won't effect me much. But I remember C girls asking for an extra 20-40 for MSOG 15-20 years ago so I don't see it as anything new.
PSE is dumb fun and I've enjoyed it whenever offered but if we're being honest, probably best if it goes away or dramatically reduced. I certainly will not be paying the up charge for it.
Baby’s she’s new and only here around week, if she’s slow then it’s definitely a sign that the upcharges are turning off customers. Gia/Gina may be a better barometer, I’m hearing she’s less busy than she was before, considering quality Is down

if Cora‘s going/touring LA, then isn’t that a sign that the price increases aren’t built on “demand”?

the problem is not just price, it’s quality, price goes up the upper tier girls are fine, but the other girls like you said aren‘t going to be visited

Girls working in Arizona and Seattle can charge more because of subdued demand and lack of competition.

Think of how the Uber ride cost shoots to a rather unreasonable level up due to lack of drivers in the area. Someone in dire need always take that ride, while most will skip. And if all that part-time Uber driver has to make is $200/day, he rather take 4 rides @ 50 a pop than 10 @ $20. Story is not different for working girls. I bet their ideal day would be seeing just one guy @ 2000.

For sure, the lower tier girls are going to suffer volume loss at the higher price point unless mongers get desperate because the top girls are going to be that much harder to book.

Again the problem to me is not the rate bump. It is the fact it is a standard rate bump. Some girls really dont deserve that price range. If they adjust the fare on quality control, where some is less due to less popularity that would've been fine. Just i dont like the idea the whole line is bump up.

The bright side to this price ordeal... we can filter out the junkies and customer with high risk. Pretty sure all the uber drivers are gone now. Rofl. Sad.

Yeah, it's not the prices that filter out high risk customers. It's thorough screening.

Yep, that's right. That makes the trustworthy repeats all the more valuable. All it takes is one bad apple to ruin it for others.

I feel like things are stabilizing a bit, but yes… the popular girls get booked fast or by the regulars. If you aren’t a popular girl, with price increases people become more picky and you won’t get much business.

Agreed. Tried multiple times for popular gals and can't get an appointment.
