500 For 10 Minutes of Friction

[Hobby]

I am truly amazed by hobbyists who donate 500 or more for what 10  minutes of friction at best! Why?

Good question! I'm amazed by some of the rates I'm seeing, and I can only think it's because there are some high-rollers with cash to burn that are driving these rates. Once some ladies see those rates they apparently think they can set theirs that high. Maybe there are enough high-rollers around to make it work for them, but it screws guys like me on a fixed pension.

If the service is just 10 minutes of friction, the same amazement could be about why spend more than $200, $300, $400, etc.

Why spend $100,000 on a new car when a new $20,000 car will get you there? Style, performance, status, etc.
Someone that wants a luxury SUV or a high performance sports car, doesn't worry about how much it costs to put gas in it.

It's not the 10 minutes of friction, it is the other 50 minutes that are also important to some.

So no friction and they would be just as happy! I see this on the sex cams, guys will tip not just thousands of tokens but thousands of dollars at a wack.  I have seen a guy tip 20,000 tokens which to the model at 5 cents per token is $1000.  Crazy. Another tipped 34,000 tokens in one tip... even more crazy for something they can only see and hear, can't touch, feel or smell. Go figure!

If y'all go look up "Veblen Goods" (from Theory of the Leisure Class on Conspicuous Consumption), some of this will make more sense.  Status!

They would be very unhappy!

Put another way. If there was just only friction, the guy might not be happy as friction was expected.
And there would be no repeat.

The whale theory of doing business seems to have infested escorting. The concept that one very big rich fish (AKA a whale) is better than having many small ones. But how many of these big fish are one and done and on to the next lady. I don't see the very high rates as a plan that will sustains repeat customers.

I agree, this is a poor business model. One session at $500 is better than two at $300? Repeat customers are the bread & butter for every business. I'm hoping the bubble for providers rates and real estate both burst soon.

What amazes me is how these newer younger ladies are charging $500hr and then have a No List a mile long. Basically you get CFS, CBJ (maybe), and I'm assuming access to her breasts.

[Danno]

with a no list that long, might as well do hhr. what are you going to do for an hr.

As some of the posts above indicate I'd say it's relative. There are plenty of civvies that would say all of us here are idiots for paying anything. People that complain about a particular rate are typically only looking at it from their perspective and in the context of THEIR budget.  Does EVERYONE have the same budget or goals in a session?  Apparently they do according to some....LMFAO.  Most will find their niche and what works for them.  Why worry about what others do?  Jealousy?  Concerned you're not the top dog?  Typical male bullshit.....

THIS!

In the beginning, it was all about the ___________________ (fill in what you want.)  As I've gotten older, a lot more things are relative and variable.  That covers all the topics as well.  Pros (you could argue what the hell that means), civvies, you name it, as long as there is a high level of contentment, one could argue that "it" was a very successful and memorable session.

Value?  which means different things to different people?

Someone might have lost 100x that in the stock market today given the bottomless implosion underway.  Reminds me of the guy who said on rb years ago, "I've spent a fortune on women and whiskey; I squandered the rest of it."  Have done the $500 donation for one person, twice.  Doubt will do it again.  Great?  yes.  But there are others out there whom I prefer. 

I used to hobby just for the adventure of the search, avoiding the robbers and scammers, and possibly meeting someone with an interesting story.  The sex was like fourth priority.  But there isnt the same influx of participants to provide that adventure, and I've lost a step so best to rely less on wits these days.  That makes it more important to enjoy the actual encounter with less adventure to be had.  And with some diligence it is possible to have great experiences at a lesser donation.  Perhaps there will be a way to have a private forum to nominate top providers in certain categories at a lower donation max.
