Recession

So you'd have to be living under a rock not to see the recession we are in. I, myself, have taken a 15% cut in wages for 2009, just to keep my job. Times are hard, and they are only getting harder. Today the Herald reported that "Recession in the eurozone will hit Ireland hardest" and that "PricewaterhouseCooper has estimated that the Irish economy contracted in 2008, for the first time in 25 years". Wow. Just a few weeks ago £0.98 pence sterling would buy you a €1. Yet the escorts in Dublin, and in Ireland are still charging the same rates they were in 2007... and how long ago does 2007 feel? Who would have thought in 2007 that we'd be here, in a recession, but we are.

You who read this site trust my reviews, I am asking you now to trust what I have to say. The fact is a significant portion of us just can't afford these rates and still see as many escorts as we used to, it won't work. We are making less, and many of us are out of a job.

In order for escorts to keep coming to Dublin, they need to make money. For them to make money we need to have more money to spend. If escorts cut their rates we will be able to see more escorts, this means more business for everyone. If escorts continue to be greedy they will price themselves and other escorts out of the market. Escorts need to cut their rates... but how can we convince them of this? How can we convince them that we mean business?

I, for one, have made the decision to not patronize any escort who doesn't charge €100 for a 30 minute session. This session will have to include OWO, and for an additional €50 anal. As you all know a 30 minute session excluding anal usual comes to €150 with €50 extra for anal totalling €200... in today's economic climate that is greed, pure and simple.

When we complain about prices escorts always say "well if you don't like it, don't see us". I suggest that is exactly what we do.

Many escorts charge €150 with anal for 30 minutes (Roxy) and even a few charge €100 including anal for 30 minutes like Lilly, but if this is the case then why are some escorts charging as much as €250? Simple, because they can get away with it and we are letting them.

Gentleman, from now on do not see an escort who charges over €100 for 30 minutes (€150 with anal). Second, if you see an advert for escort you like, but she charges too much, politely ring her and explain that her rates are too high and that you will see her if she lowers them. If she refuses, her loss. Third, reward Escorts who do have lower rates by seeing them and writing positive reviews. Only together can make this happen, I am relying on you.

Please post a comment if you agree with this strategy, the more comments Escorts and other Punters can see the better.

Thanks for your time, sincerely Punter John

Good to see you back always enjoyed your reviews/posts.

I agree, €150 is way too much compared to other countries, especially in these hard times. I will join you and vow not to spend this amount to help drive the price down. Come on everybody together we can do it.

Good on you, but as you an see we're the only two posters so far. Most punters are too timid to post here anonymously, let alone demand a lower price.

Funny, so far I've had 6 messages from different punters who say they agree with me, but also say how it will never work. :-)

Yes, and to clear up a misconception; I am making less but that's still way above middle income. All of us in our department did, that way our manager wouldn't be forced to let one of us go.
