Slowdown in punting reports due to cost of living crisis?

My ex ML did have two very slow days last week. Like $16 an hour one day and $20 an hour two days later. These are the hourly rates on what she made for an 8 hour day. They were two days spent at the same shop.

Obviously she suffers when the boss moves her around to the quiet shops. In reality I don’t believe a girl should be moved from shop to shop on the pretext of boosting trade on a dead site.

If a shop is in a cluster of the same shops then competition is tough. Better a stand alone with nothing nearby.

A good attractive girl shouldn’t have to suffer based on her boss’s inability to run a good business.

I’ve been in shops where girls tell other girls in other shops to come over. It’s busy etc. I’m not sure if there’s any policy to stay onsite if it’s quiet? What reward is there for staying in a barren place? They don’t get a minimum retainer so they can be shafted by their boss, correct?

Punters are punting heaps less. Its evident in lack of after reviews

with recent rent increase I'll be slowing down to once a fortnight, if things get bad probably once a month, rather keep my money for travels, though i was in Bangkok last week, and out side of the BJ bars the value difference wasn't that much cheaper... that said i don't do FS.

To be fair, a part of that is because they aren't that many new girls coming in as before it seems.

The governments reducing the number of student visas right now so there won't be much new talent coming in for a while.

Its a double edged sword for me, happy cause my rent won't go up too much but sad cause less new talent arriving

It also depends which nationality of student visas are being reduced / increased. Since alot of ML/WL seem to come from certain countries.

honestly, the incoming girls are definitely not as good as the 2015s (when I first started). it feels like you have to fork out an insane amount of money to have a chance to bang some hot chick (and even then, you might get ripped off). depressing, probably it's for the best though, makes it easier to quit this viice

I’m not a renter but I think it’s a good way to be.

You’re not strapped to a mortgage for one thing.

You can get decent digs for not much coin. Doesn’t have to be a big place and therefore not much maintenance on your days off. Live in the city buy your meals, shops close buy and very convenient.

Yeah but your landlord/agent can come do inspections any time. Very invasive and inconvenient.

No wonder vaping has exploded like it has. Not me though, I like my lungs clear for breathing oxygen & inhaling pussy.

Just have a topless woman walking around in a Gbanger when they turn up and they won’t even look at anything else. In all seriousness just change the locks and tell them to make an appointment. When I used to rent decades ago that’s what I always did. Who wants a previous tenant entering with a spare key?

Not a smoker myself but cost aside I imagine the novelty of having your smokes smell like strawberry or whatever colourful favour has a bit to do with it. I usually avoid second hand smoke from smokers but from vapers depending on their favour I don't mind / even enjoy it.

I quit smoking mainly because of the costs, I don't like vaping neither, taste too artificial.

I gave up the smokes about 4 or so years ago after about 40+ years of smoking. Wasn't enjoying it anymore as I was just having a few puffs & chucking it. I was surprised at how easy it was - 99.9% mental state I'm told. A lot of my mates still smoke & it doesn't bother me...

There’s plenty of smokes still around, just look down in the gutters and on the footpaths, I’d have been wary during covid but now that the hoax is clear you’re good to go!

Interestingly despite punters punting less and shops experiencing declining customers, the shops and privates are still jacking up the prices.

So they hike up the price when they have less customers and they also hike it up when there is more demand. Sounds like a lose lose situation for us.

I have been doing repeats with some of the girls that I know won’t be a dud. So haven’t been doing new ARs.

They're subject to the same price rises as the rest of us.

The price increase is to make up lost income to cover present expenses and maintenance a profit. Is a lost cause for girls/shops/punters for ever price increase. Less punters = lost income = less income for girls and shops. With unemployment is increasing. We know Telstra is cutting 10% of staffs and other companies are following, the bad times are coming.

This is where i say it is 'interesting'.

Because it doesn't follow normal supply vs demand economics.
Normally when there's less demand, and much supply prices go down.
Prices go up when theres more demand and less supply.

So it doesn't make sense to me that shops and privates jack up prices to make up for having less customers.

I do know inflation in general is causing cost of living rises for everyone including shops, MLs and WLs.
So i get it, punting costs go up too. But I have noticed that the cost of extras increasing by multiples rather than percentages.

The only thing i can think of that is sustaining this is infact that there is still a similar number of punters still punting and are cashed up enough to cover the gap.
Otherwise same economic principles we would see a supply decrease in the form of shops closing and ladies going out unemployed which thankfully we are not seeing...yet.

I believe things goes up will eventually come down just that it haven't bit hard.
Good time never last. But they are some rich punters will pay any price just to have the girl to help them release them juice.
I know the economic principal are out of the window in sex industry. For a men once the dick is having a erection all economic principal is out he will find a way to punt maybe less or shorter time or see an old milf that happens.

I think you are mistaken to think it is a supply and demand business. Good WL/ML can set there rates and get work. Profile the top K girls at Ginza. 8 hours a day booked taking $225 or so an hour. Probably close to $2K per day. 4 to 5 days per week. Now it is quiet. Let's say bookings down 50% then they are on $1K per day. Do you think they will drop the rate, fuck twice as much to make the 2K per day. Not likely. And the shop isn't going to want that either.
There is a lot of good shops doing it tough at present. They need to keep girls working but can't afford to lose good girls for cheap punters. And the cheap shops can't afford to pay good girls to come and work at cheap rates. It is the punter that has to reset. Unfortunately, the good times are over for many.

It's not just cost of living. Apparently scams and online banking hacks are still rampant so more and more people losing their life savings. All their hard earned money disappearing into thin air, no one has enough spare change for punting - both sexual and gambling.
