Excellent comments. For price/fee comparisons of the main (Old Church) RLD in Amsterdam, my initial thought is what are the ladies asking for in the 2 other 'Dam RLDs. And what are typical asking prices in Alkmaar RLD (used to be 35E/15 minutes (F&S/multiple positions) and the 2 Den Haag RLDs? There is also an interesting RLD scene in Belgium. I've found the Alkmaar RLD to have a very nice value for the money.
There was a guy (Adapt?) in this MB forum decades ago who stated that he was looking for "skill, dedication, and ENTHUSIASM" when pursuing window girls. Spot on, IMHO! Late 1990s and early 2000s struck me as The Golden Age for window girl hobbying in the main 'Dam RLDs. Particularly pre-Euro. There was a time circa 1999/2000 where the USD to Guilders conversion rate made the cost about $40/15 min in the main RLD. Fast forward to 2026 and the cost of living has exploded in many Western economies. Escort fees have typically doubled (or more) since 2010. "Whales" worth multiple millions (or much more) might take elite independent escorts on multi day vacations and shower them with dining at Michelin stars restaurants, coupled with high-end gifts. Wages haven't kept pace for many guys.
The advice that I heard on this MB before my first trip to 'Dam was to avoid OZA in the main RLD, particularly that stretch between the Old Sailor bar and the small bridge closest to the live sex show venues. Ripoffs, promises not kept, bad attitudes, upselling, and guys being rushed out the door. The area over by the Old Church was my typical playground.
One form of upselling that's rampant in the escort world is being love-bombed. Email messages where she says that she hasn't seen you "in ages", when in fact you saw her several weeks prior. Some escorts are blatantly looking to reel in tens of thousands of US dollars (or currency equivalents) through repeat visits. Yet their attitude/skills/dedication might be in the realm of above average to below average, in all candor. I stopped seeing one superstar because her upselling was incessant and she was trying to delude me into thinking that I was her boyfriend. While she referred to her real-life boyfriend on her website.
These upselling tactics, and sweet mouthing from the girls have always existed.
100 Euros now for a standard base rate for 15 mins (if you are lucky) for a suck and fuck is outrageous.
No need for this, and to pay this...especially if the service is below stellar.
If girls keep doing this, they will have less and less punters.
