I cannot believe what has happened to the DC scene. It's in shambles, and the chicks don't want to come back because we are unwilling to up our prices just a few dollars.
We keep sticking to 160. Baltimore is 170. Dallas is like 180+. Cali is 180+. we need to understand that the spas and girls will set up shop where they can make money. They can go where they want to. And they DON'T go to places where they CAN'T make the most money, unless they have age/weight/attractiveness issues. Simple as that. Until we begin to tip, and the spas eventually work that into their prices, we'll never see a comeback, unless it is a rub and tug. And I'm not into that. I can do that myself.
You know what? With shit in DC being as bad as it is, if spas opened back up with 180-190 rates, most mongers would take that now...and the spas would come back into the city like crack, regardless of the pressure from the local authorities. Mongers might complain but they'd have variety and choice and they'd do it because it was the only game in town.
Mongers in DC are cheap. Look at the providers on Eros or some of the other sites. They want 300+ or more, and there's no TS, no bullshit like that. There are even CL Chickenheads asking for more than the people in DC are willing to pay a spa girl.
Over the 20 years I've been mongering, the spa price has not varied in DC at all in that time. When I started, guess what the price was? 160. Guess what these guys want to pay today? The same 160. That shit don't flow or ride in ANY economy. Now I'm not saying we need exponential jumps in price, but damn, we gotta quit being so fucking cheap and at least take SOME inflation into account.
We in DC are getting what we deserve by being so cheap in the first place.
