I sense there is a present-day burnout factor (C19 and aftermath being one significant factor, in my opinion) with a number of the girls. Some have complicated personal and family lives. More turnover in the ranks. There was a time in the late 1990s and early 2000s when a window girl or escort might be in the business for 2+ years and their schedule and availability was pretty good. In the Wallen or other major RLDs in Netherlands? Legends like Martina (Slovakia), Jessica (Dutch), and Blue Jeans Anne…just for starters. The cost of plane, lodging, local travel, food/dining, and so forth, was exceptionally affordable versus 2022, when adjusted for inflation and currency exchange. And the same went for the price of “pay for play” (be it windowgirls, escorts, etc.).
The trend with very high-end escorts has been soaring hourly rates with various “strings attached” as a part of her terms. Screening has become the norm in North America because of violent men who have preyed on companions (case in point: google “Joey The Player”). Minimum date? 2 hours becoming more common. Hotel date with an escort? Her terms might be “dates of 3+ hours must include activities outside the room”. Overnights? Perhaps “6 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.” Dinner dates are coveted by some ladies - your 4+ hours date, if you go that route (perhaps 1.5 to 2 hours of playtime back in the room) is now set to run into the 1000s of dollars from a total-cost aspect. If a guy makes ~$100K pre-tax income (~$60K after-tax in USA, let’s say), a ~$3000 date (all costs included) with one companion has just created a ~5% hit on his after-tax “disposable income”. These are ROM (rough order of magnitude) numbers by my math. Even for a guy making $120K per year post-tax, the ~2.5% hit on his annual income is startling. By comparison, a 4-hour dinner date in Canada circa 2002 with an elite independent escort could be had for less than $1000CDN (her fee plus cost/tip for the meal). Mileage? Can be anything from mediocre to BYWD (beyond your wildest dreams). As for European escorts, I’m seeing very strong beauty quotient coupled with better to far-better rates (versus USA particularly) for top-shelf babes. Paris, Milan, Munich, Budapest, London, Spain, France, and elsewhere: they are out there and can be found. There are many layers to this topic - my message to guys is be very very mindful of your budget. Present-day alternatives to escorts, such as window girls, massage parlors, prive houses, FKK clubs, should be a much lighter hit on your budget.
