Lol, not the first recession for millennials. For the older ones, it's the third? Early 90s and early 00s parents might have lost their jobs during either of those downturns.
Then graduating college during the mortgage crisis. Now the current one if you were lucky enough to make it through covid unscathed.

The resulting increased supply has always led to prices to stabilize and a higher average quality from competition. The only difference this time around is that foreign immigration policy might be tightened up to support domestic manufacturing. Most likely won't affect Korea, as they are in high tech and one of the US' closest allies. might be an attitude change afterwards though, as the US loses some of it's shine (much like how c-org service/attitude levels dropped off a cliff in the last 20 years as we see the result of the one child policy and China's economic boom).

OP is talking about the managerial level, who see the slixia escort or have sugar babies, not concerned with value like us. I think he's a executive assistant or a startup VP, lol. For the vast majority of us, we already budget around our fun, so unless we lose our jobs, it's doesn't really impact us. Millennials especially, know about the long term view from investing, so I mourned my portfolio after inflation hit 7% after a few months, lol.
The bear market is actually a positive, because it actually affects the ultra-wealthy (who rely on loans backs by their shares for their expenses) and when rich people get butthurt, things actually start happening politically.

Oh boy, another 'we've gotta get prices lower' thread.

Not a fucking chance. Never going to happen, put it out of your mind.

For the service you're getting from women that wouldn't look at you twice at a bar we're getting a hell of a deal.

Pay the extra 40 bucks. Most of us spend more than that on horrible coffee at Starbucks in a week. Pussy is better.
Oh boy, another post defending the price increase via putting mongers' looks down.

I get it, though, it's convenient. Can justify anything via this rhetorics of mongers having undesirable looks.


Funny enough, God forbid a monger criticizes a girl for her looks, and all hell breaks loose. Often with pushback from same people who don't hesitate to put down fellow mongers. But hey, putting down mongers is all fine and dandy.


I'm a part of several hobby communities online that involves consumption of services and/or goods. This hobby is the only one where fellow hobbyists are constantly berated in order for suppliers to look better.

If you don't like the prices, don't participate...pu$$y is pu$$y...the profession will never go away.
Wouldn't you charge the most you could of you were selling your body?
Let's break it down why this logic is fallacious

1. You can (and should, I might add) criticize prices you don't deem justified regardless of whether or not you consume the product.

2. "If you don't like something, then don't do it" is generally very poor logic. It's akin to anyone saying if you think there are problems in this country you can always leave. Acknowledgement of issues and critique of practices isn't equivalent to full disengagement. If I'm appalled by latest Apple cash grab, I'm free to write that their device or product is overpriced and urge others not to consume it and complain about. It is a basic consumer right.

3. "Wouldn't you charge the most you could"?

Well, if that is so, how come prices aren't 1k+? Any girl with GPS thinks her pussy is made of 24k gold. So is it most you could or what the market dictates? That's an extremely important distinction. Any seller in a capitalist economy and semblance of free market wants to maximize profits, but unfortunately profits aren't maximized by blindly maximizing the price.

This is how the economy works. The price tends to work itself out based on supply and demand. If demand falls because of high prices then the price goes down or maybe supply goes down, leaving higher priced girls working for higher paying guys. Girls can charge whatever they want and guys can choose to play or not. Pretty fucking simple.

Higher prices have reduced my freqency so I’m spending about the same $ every month that I have been for a while. Fewer hours at higher prices. I’m also a little pickier when I look to TOFTT, and it’s still the biggest rush I get from the hobby.

What's the last time the price went down in the pussy economy?

And I think you phrased it a bit wrong. First, it's how full free market - unregulated, non-collusive - economy works.

Then, you cannot have a circular dependency here. In (an ideal) free market economy, price is determined solely by supply and demand. So with price at equilibrium point, demand cannot decrease because of high price. Meaning, you cannot say that price is determined by supply and demand, and then state that the supplier determined the price. It's one or the other.


And a reminder that in a free market, unregulated collusions screw up the supply demand curve.

Interconnected kgirl agencies are unregulated collusion entities that typically raise prices at the same time; therefore the competitive pricing - an essential feature of supply/demand kinda goes out of the window when collusion is present.

I determine the price I’m willing to pay, nobody else is responsible for my decision. Arguing for the sake or arguing just wastes pixels.

Arguing with Rocketman has always been a waste of Pixels.

I find it intriguing "Pixels" was capitalized in your statement.

Anyway ... most people who do argue with Rocketman usually attempt to use some warped logic that doesn't apply elsewhere, in order to defend suppliers' practices.

Im willing to have a logical and coherent, sound argument as to why mongers shouldn't express their dissatisfaction about prices.

So far I've heard the "if you don't like prices don't participate", which is very close to the classic Bifurcation fallacy aka false dilemma.

If you don't like prices, you can do many things about it, including complaining about it on the forum that is extensively and nearly ardently read by suppliers :)

People complain about gas prices. Why can't they complain about price of pussy going up?

oh boy another guy who thinks the world is a free market of rational actors and has never heard of price hysteresis

once you've been paid $300/hour for demeaning work, it's an insult to accept any less. Girls don't lower their prices, they retire.

I never used the phrase free market, but I get your point. This business has inelastic demand, for a multitude of reasons.

By saying this work is demeaning, are you implying that the girls I see don’t absoluely love my company and attention? I’m shocked and saddened. LOL

I agree with you, however some will rely psychological compensatory mechanisms like “holiday specials”, introductory or grandfather rates. It’ll never happen in k-aamp’s, but I’m starting to see it on PD. This happened after 2000 (redbook), and in 2009 (mrb, nightshift). More will come out of retirement or into the market at a lower price point.
