The Law of Demand and Supply works all the time, in all situations. Also, Price Theory works (when pricing a service or product, charge as much as possible till your customers start dropping off). We know from news articles that there are far more girls on these websites than punters like us, so why do we as a group of blokes are assisting these girls to push us up the $$$ scale.
The reason some SB's are asking and often getting 700 (let alone the ones who claim to be getting 1200) is because some punters are agreeing to pay it.
But if we all stick with telling them "sorry, but my budget is 400 (or 500)" then SB's will be conditioned to see 400 as great value. After all, their alternative to work as shop assistants at $30 per hour means working 10 to 15 hours to make the same amount.
Getting laid does not require someone with a university degree and 10 years of experience. Just a reasonably decent body.
And please do not fall for their old trick when they say "My last arrangement, he paid me 800" . This tactical statement is well documented on sugarbaby forums. They say it to make us feel that counter-offering 400 or 500 is too low.
Be strong fellows, and let's stick together! :):)
