It does seem a bit dead

It's already been predicted worst retail sales this holiday season. Expect many lay-offs in Jan.

Being a single mom in this economy is so hard

Life for everyone is difficult right now.
It will take time to pass. Hopefully things get better but everywhere ya look It's like less money is being spent in all things.

Just got back from Hawaii, things are booming in a lot of places.

Joe Biden doesn't get any pussy... why should we.

Shelby, the last time I was in LA, you stood me up on an AM date in Lawndale on our first date - if you allow that scenario to happen frequently then your fan base or call rate may suffer as a result.

It's SLOW everywhere. Even my business is slow.

Inflation is a big problem everywhere, especially on hx.

We are in an economic downturn
Unfortunately our industry is a luxury, not a necessity so it’s not a priority for a lot of clients currently.
Most are holding onto their money and being strategic with spending.
Stay strong cause at the end of this lots will come out ready to play hard!

I concur with Fiji. During a downward economy, the adult industry takes a back burner to people's sending. I've seen this several times before when I worked in the adult industry another life time ago.
This would be a good time to be creative with prices and services if you need guys to loosen their wallets.

According to the latest reports, the US economy grew 4.9% from July through September and inflation is way down from earlier in the year.
Despite all the talk of a downturn or recession, it never materialized. Unemployment remains at near record lows, as do firings/layoffs.

buckle up baby
if u think its bad now,

the whole world is in a depression
and you KNOW what depressions bring

No it's not slow. Women have raised their rates and in return the men have cut your hours
You see many women came on here gloating about these high rates they ask for now but didn't see the negative effects that it would cause them in return. Which is the guys will spend LESS and they would now work less which in return cause them to make LESS money. Men have shifted that higher cost back on to the ladies.
Similar scenario McDonald's workers now will get paid 22hr pay raise sounds good to a low level thinker. But the new reality is McDonald's is just going to raise prices (18 dollars big macs) cut hours, lay off workers and replace them with automated machines.
So they will lose their jobs, make less money and pay higher cost of food. This is what liberal mindset in California gets you.

I kind of agree with the economic logic. I saw more girls when rates were below what I took home in a given work day. Now, one might need to spend more ( or way more) than they make in one day. For that I participate way less or might just get a $ massage instead. And because I am single, I date more and pay in different ways- LOL. So net net, I spend a little less but spread it more around now. If you run a business, would you rather make one sale to Mr X for $400 or make 10 sales to Mr X for $200?

I usually pay 15, 16 for a burger anyway. What's 2 more bucks if lil Tiffany is going land her first job.
We are the richest County in the world, but we act like we can't afford shit.
Prioritize your spending and let l Tiffany get paid......MAN.
|
|
|
Well saidButz let's put meat between Tiffany's buns and pay her well
|
|
|
Election year, holidays, motel worker strikes etc.....
|
|

well i keep telling girls not to raise their rates bcoz itll ruin the hobby
but no one would believe me until theyre waiting around
|

I just sent you 600 Fx points to look at your face. I hope that helps.

+ resumption of student loan payments
+ property taxes are coming due
+ consumers can stretch spending with credit cards, but not with this cash-only "hobby"
(sidebar: I saw an entrepreneurial PD listing with an option to split your donation over 4 payments with klarna lol)
Also wonder about regional economic differences: like the SFV classifieds are a ghost town, but OC seems to be doing ok
And anecdotally, I know a LA-based provider that recently started driving to the OC instead of hosting here. Guess all that old money really helps

And then there is this,
They say Gold and Silver will go up. And Bitcoin does a Halfing process, and so far everytime it does this the price hits a new high. Hmm...
.
|
|
|
Yeah, its reeeeally sloow.
|
|
|
^^Well said, agree 1000 percent
Those lame hobbyist you refer too I like to call them SIMPS.
Ladies it's NOT SLOW. Men are simply not supporting the current group of women as it stands. The deal you are offering does not work that is the reality.
|
|
|
slow - yes the economy seems slow.
its not that people make less, its the available income - that has decreased considerable.
inflation hit pretty hard - also here, and since here is not essential to most folks, well then it can be saved.
|
|
|
It's never "slow" if you can make your own opportunities. NOW is always the best time!
|
|
|
^ VERY VERY true
|
|
|
“ Men are simply not supporting the current group of women as it stands”
Not true .. the last 3 months have been my most profitable months ever. My clients just arent online anonymously complaining about our rates
|
|
|
^^might be for you but as a collective that is not the case
|
|
|
On my end, I've been saving money for an apartment lol. ugghhh but I'll be active again soon.
|
|
|
And no one said anything about rates that's your projection and what YOU think
The issue is the women complaining it's slow when you are the reason for it. Get off the slow yellow bus becky
|
|
|
lol I agree with Fiji women are saying it’s slow because they decided to jump in when guys had all the Covid stimulus money to throw around. They didn’t have to actually provide good service. Now all the sudden everyone is whining it’s slow. No it’s just gone back to normal you actually have to put in the effort so the good clients continue to come back.

Inked.n.curvy totally gets it
|
|
|
Thank goodness for Fiji and Ink and Curvy they both get it and know that its all about the service.

Lately when looking at the check for dinner, I’ve turned to my wife and say, “This is as much as seeing ArabianQueen and adding greek.”.
|
|
|
discretionary income is more valuable than just about anything, plus guys aren't willing to try a new side chick when they know exactly what the get in their regular side chick and all it takes is one lackluster session with your go to girl and thats when you go shopping for someone else
like they say in the restaurant business " take care of your regulars, before someone else does "

Matrix an ggd I agree. I will add I don't mind compensating providers for a job well done. low quality and terrible customer service. are not attractive to hobbiest that are looking for a great time.
|
|

Ok but what type of service do you expect from someone seeing 10 people a day
? That logic is just insane to me the poor girl is exhausted at that point and if she’s not I guarantee you she’s on something. Then you wonder why they flake on you, make you wait around or rush you out the door. Just like upper management at every dead end job you expect us to run ourselves ragged to give you the most for the least. Hotel rates are through the roof right now plus gas, and other work related expenses adds, outfits, protection so on and so forth. I can’t speak for other people but I don’t want to have to see multiple people before I even break even. I don’t want to have to do this 24/7 and I’m one of the smarter ones who has a place to call home and doesn’t have to. But for some this is a daily struggle or they have no place
To sleep. I don’t think you realize sometimes how exhausting and mentally draining this can be seeing multiple men in a day. Shit half of you can't perform more then once in a day let alone be expected to be top notch over and over again. So yes my rates are higher then some but at the end of the day I dont half ass our time together to get the next one in.

Stimulus Money Clients. ..that sounds horrible haha
Technically youre all right, people are fighting for more purchase power, and others are trying to off set inflation by increasing their rates. It to be expected when you print out free money. However, so of yall girls increased the rate by 40%, , thats way ahead of inflation rate.

Here's a headline I just saw:
"Bumble undergoes a CEO shakeup as recession fears make singles forego pricey dating apps and the company’s stock tanks 80% in 2 years"
I don't care what phony stats the Biden administration or the deep state is releasing. Just about everyone I know everywhere is hurting. (Except the ultra wealthy.) Hx is no different.
As a wise man named Jimmy Buffet (RIP) once said: "Why don't we get drunk and screw?" Hell, even pitchers are way up!
And GPS is a major problem for everyone...

"However, so of yall girls increased the rate by 40%, , thats way ahead"
This is actually a good assessment. Trying to teach economics to these women is way difficult because they operate off emotion and not logic. They don't understand that they have done the very same thing they complain about with the economy.
They don't understand that inflation causes LESS spending. So the more you inflate the more negative impact that will have on the worker. Here the women are the workers and many of them are now starting to feel that impact of their very own decisions.
So when I get a liberal like Fiji coming on here and try to shame people about her raising rates I just laugh because I know at this stage in the game men already have made the decision to spend less on women so you raising your rate won't matter you still won't make a profit and in many cases will make less money.
Of course you will still have airhead women who think they are rich and get around a recession that affects even billion dollar corporations but it's not going to happen the Ladies here are no exception.

You do realize that consumer spending actually increased .7% for the third quarter right?
Never mind. Of more immediate concern is your pathological hatred and fear of women. Do you understand that matrix is etymologically derived from the Latin word for womb? You named yourself after a female organ. You are a psychiatrists wet dream.
|

10 clients  that still happens ?
I don't blame the ladies, it's not there fault inflation happened cause the election was stolen. . I've made adjustments as well.
Personal CC debt has nearly reached 1 Trillion. How much of that will the banks lose on defaults and repo's in the next 3-5 years ?.

|

Anyone receiving "Covid stimulus money" are on the lower rung of the economic chain.
I'm sure the ones spending it here were very delightful to be with.
|
|
|
That stimulus money ship has long since sailed.
|
|
|
The economy has structurally changed. It's been happening for decades.
The dot com bust of 1999
The housing bust of 2008
The zombie zombie apocalypse of 2020
Guess who always gains and who always looses?
The "fundamental transformation of America" mostly complete.
