Pricey Hobby

They're still around. They changed their name to "NY-Love". You are correct about their new rates. They were just at 300 a few months ago, but now they're at 320. Looks like 320 is now the new norm at just about everywhere for something decent.
I've been thinking a lot about the hobby lately and whether it's still worth it. Every time I spend 320 for an hour of entertainment, I look back to my younger years when it would take me months to save up to buy the latest video game console. For comparison, the last video game console I bought was a PS4 Pro in 2018. I paid 399, which isn't too far off from 320. For the past few years, I wouldn't even blink an eye blowing ~300 on a session. It's crazy to think that if I had this amount of money as a kid, I could buy all the electronics and gadgets that I ever wanted.
The hobby has definitely gotten expensive, and I feel it is not worth it to go as often anymore. It still fills a void in my life, so I will probably still go here and there, but I think I will be cutting back significantly. On the other hand, I feel like if you want to save money, you should go as much as possible now. IMO, prices will only keep climbing higher and higher. Unless something drastically changes (like legalizing the hobby), it won't be long until we see 350 as the new norm.

sorry to bring up a old thread. logged in after some time and got notifications.
I thought the same, spending 300$ every session is pretty crazy, but now I still spend 300$, if anything I spend a little more (maybe 50 - 150 more) because ill spread that 300 across 3 different girls and use the variable 50 - 150 dollars to have fun and tip girls dancing
even if there are cheaper rates, you will use that cheaper rate to go more often and spend the same amount... slipper slope

For me the price increases of the last 3-4 years killed it for me. Use to be that 150-200hr was pretty common in some local spots. Whether it was Latina, Asian or Euro. All good quality that I went to. I was easily spending 2-5k a year on the hobby during those years. Suddenly it started creeping up I backed off and was below 2.5k a year. When COVID hit and prices really accelerated to the point where 300 became the low, that's when my hobbling kind of died. I spent less than 500 in 2020 and less than 1.2k in 2021 so far. During the late summer early and fall I tried some AMP spots in Flushing as there were still some bargains but nothing I would repeat. Now I'm only tempted to go see ladies if I find them absolutely stunning and once in life time opertunities.
Future looks bright as US lift travel restrictions from international travelers, and travel is going back to the norm. I am optimistic of supply chains will balance in the coming year. As such price increase is transitory according to you know who.
E.g.
-You all can travel to these countries where you become the king for the day at a fair price point
-More providers are coming from oversea bc they heard the speed and amount they can make..supply will drive cost down.
- as much as we hate the word Inflation, income should increase
my 2cents and I tool feel the heat.

I am spending far less than previously not because of price increase but declines in service levels. And the best service providers get used and "damaged" quickly. I have also noticed far more people traveling. In DR, Colombia and Montreal i have met many people tired of this nonsense that you would not normally expect to see Doctors, Lawyers, a Judge, some hedge fund guys. Hot chicks are everywhere but quality service, whatever that means to you, is becoming a roll of the dice. I will not pay 300+ and get treated the same as in a 40 pump and dump. My 2 cents.
I only started last year around March (odd time to start) and have kept a spreadsheet of how much I've spent since then.
I could've bought a very nice watch by now with all the cash spent...
I'm trying to slow down now but it is incredibly easy to get addicted to this 'hobby'. Reading reviews, wanting to try out new girls, repeating with certain providers because they're so good, etc. And the fact that it's literally normally just a text/phone call away is way too tempting most of the time.

Get out while you can! lol ..... You're far from alone it happened to us all especially when you first start. It's like letting the flood gates open the first time you do it.
For me I do think there is a level here you realize you've tasted every flavor that has ever been or will ever be. Suddenly, the impulse become more controllable and less often unbearable.
Excellent point, +1. I think most on here and on other places have made the same observation, and this has been an issue for the last few years now. People talk about inflation and "shrinkflation" (spending the same $ but getting less in the package), well I guess we've been seeing something similar in providers. Sometimes it's the proliferation of "extras" that were once considered standard inclusive services and other times it's just plane laziness, as she knows 10 other suckers is blasting up her phone while you are meeting her.

The other thing with this hobby is you have to find out for yourself what you like aesthetically in a provider, and also what are the things you want to achieve in your visits.
Each person has a different standard, a skinny chick to you might be just regular to me, you have read many reviews where guys estimate a provider's age to be 20-30 years off their actual age, and say someone does X well but for the next person it's MEH.
My advice is find your niche, set your price, and explore....many older guys here can guide you , without even speaking to them, just read their reviews and their musings on the many topics we discuss here.
Like everything else you have to be prepared, mongering is like an exam, if you don't do your research and study...you will either feel nunpulsed or just fail
