The REAL High End

#2
There will always be a super high end market for people with major fuck you money in any industry or any commodity. Betcha there's a market for $10,000 rolls of mink toilet paper.

You wonder why someone like Spitzer wasn't playing in "Tier 3" as opposed to "Tier 1". Was it purely recklessness, or was it ignorance? I don't necessarily buy the "as a former attorney general, Spitzer must have known all this" argument the author makes in the article. As smart a guy as he is, it doesn't mean he was a sophisticated consumer when it came to commercial sex (although, obviously, he should have been).

I agree with that.

You apparently have to be plugged in to get access to Tier 3. Why would anyone assume Spitzer would be plugged in? He might be one of the least likely people to be, if you think about it.

You're assuming he DIDN'T have that too.....

No one can accurately report about "the real high end" because the most anyone knows of it is a very small amount just by the nature of it. The people who use it aren't connected in any network, nor are the girls.

It's like trying to discuss what dinner parties are like at people's homes. How do you review that?

Anyone who spends more than $200 on a prostitute is pathetic [sfsf]. That being said, I think I gave this chick $250 for about 2 and a half hours this morning.

I think the article in Slate by sociologist Sudhir Venkatesh is a crock of shit. He goes from $75 average a pop streetwalkers for FS (too low from what I read, I don't participate in that part of the market) to this imaginary high end which he divides into lll tiers with the lowest starting at 2-5k per pop! This is for "women come in all ages and ethnic stripes" - yea, right :)

Tier ll is up to 7.5k (from 5?) college educated, white. I do believe in a tier ll that goes by referral but probably in the 1k to 2 k range.

For tier lll he brings an example of Melissa in Hoboken who gets 10k a month from a partner in a law firm who sees her three times a month. Even if the story is true what you have here is a kept woman and a unique situation and that's a whole different story. And if the guy fucked her 20 times a month she’d be a 500 a pop whore? What the fuck is this Sudhir talking about!

Whatever happened in his story to the $500 - 800 independents who are plentiful? If you have a hobby phone, they are probably a more discreet way to go than an agency. If you’re a recognizable public figure any mongering is very dangerous. I’m sure there’s plenty of blackmail against the rich and the powerful in tier lll (the real tier lll or imaginary).

The writer is incompetent and doesn't know much about the business but that didn't stop him, as he just made up what he didn't know and now it's in an article in a magazine which people read and many unfortunately believe.

I didn't read the article discussed here, but there's one in today's NY times that should cure anyone of thinking that a $1000 escort is any better than a $300 one.

View - here's the article in Slate http://www.slate.com/id/2186491/

Please post the article in today's NYT, I searched and don't know what you're referring to. I did see a mention somewhere a few days ago that the same gars were going out on the 7 diamonds calls as the 1 diamond calls - this is somewhat we all know about the BS in the business and a bit similar to the same girl charging 400 on Eros and 250 on CL.

If you think the top tier is in the $1000-$2000 range, you have no concept of money in New York City.
I did not say that at all, read my post above - I said that about tier ll.

I do think there's a tier lll, quite small and not at all what the writer is talking about. I'm sure some guys pay 10k to be with a model or actress but this is statistically small. There's also an expensive sugar daddy thing going on but that is not what the writer is talking about - and keeping a sugar baby for 10k-20k a month is different than what he's talking about. He's just talking trash.
