Lets not forget Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey are set to join the EU. Five more poor countries millions of poorer people and lots of WG's who will want to come over to richer EU countries and once here they will be charging a lot less than home grown WG's.
Before anyone says racist or bigot I'm not its all about economics just as Polish builders are cheaper than British Builders EE WG's are cheaper especially when they first arrive and this new influx from the EU is keeping our prices artificially low (I for one haven't had a price rise in over 15 years} some here may say charge what you want or what you are happy with but if that phone stops ringing you have to consider your options especially when you have an ever changing supply of dozens of EE WG's down the road charging half what you do.
IMO if we are still in the EU and these 5 poorer countries join it we will be flooded with more people and more WG's who will be even cheaper than the established EE WG's.
I cant see that as going to be a good thing for our industry.

I only work in the south and occasionally London so my comment is my opinion for the south as I have no experience anywhere else.

If you have EEs charging ?30-?50 for 30 minutes inclusive and I have seen rates as low as ?60 ph and established ladies charging from ?70 - ?100 for 30 minutes and average down south for an hour is ?120-?200 then I can see why the guys would go for the lower rate.
Their English sometimes isn't great, but for a quickie lunch time appointment I guess it doesn't matter, so they can see a girl near enough three times for my hourly rate. 2 hours and a quickie or whatever.

I am seeing it first hand,
2 English girls yesterday dead and at my other flat the EE ladies were still busy while this thread is getting longer.
 They charge a significantly lower rate than myself, and as I said I don't feel my rates are particularly high. About average for the amount of time I have been working, and for the amount of feedback I have.

Everywhere I go lately work is inconsistent, one bad week, one good week.
I visit a lot of different areas.
I had a few decent days in Southampton but I even had one (nice) guy say ?80 was the most he had ever spent on a half hour appointment. Says it all really.

I have limited working hours, if I worked until 9pm instead of 6-7pm I know I would make an extra hourly wage but I feel bad for being away from my child as money isn't everything.
Just hope that it goes back the way it was, this year hasn't been very good for me.

Not devestatingly bad, I am still making a decent amount of money per week, but it is a lot slower than it has been.

I also had a client recently who said my ?120 rate for an hour was the highest he'd ever spent and ?100 was normally his top range. I had a look at his feedback and he's been seeing all the EU girls for about ?80 an hour

If you have 3/4/5/6 EE girls working from one address they don't have the same bills or expenses an independent WG has so they can afford to charge a lot less.
These setups don't worry about the traffic either as they don't stay in one place long enough to care.
Sorry but I don't see it getting any better.
I have been an escort for 33 years and all I can say is this is as bad as its ever been and I think thank God I'm not in my 20's or 30's and having to compete.
I thank God for my small band of regulars and that I don't have many expenses to shell out for.

How exactly do they afford to live at those rates, really? I'm an EE expat myself but I have to charge pretty much same rates as the locals up here, else I wouldn't cover my basics. vOv
I'm guessing they just pop in for a short duration, make (by their standards) a bank and leave for their home country again?

If you were to live with 4 other WG's in a house your bills would be 20% of a single WG's renting that same property, lets not forget many EE WG's have pimps who will have a network of working flats and houses that they can then move the girls around the country and Europe. UK based WG's can't possibly compete with this (obeying UK prostitution law) charging what these WG's charge unless they are happy to charge half price and see 10+ men a day and have very scant rules on their security.

I'm myself EE, but my hourly rate is high for my area. I'm not going to charge less, as my living expenses are low. I'm always careful not overspending, but I do have family members I must take care of. It's been a great January. Feb, Mar,Apr - fine. May - if not my 3 regulars, it would be 0 earnings... Keeping in mind I don't advertise too much, and I'm in general busy with other commitments. But for me 10 bookings a month would be a good month. Anything above would be a great month. I guess I need to tour more..... As lately I get very low amount of bookings. I hope this make any sense, as I'm ill now....  :-\

Last week I was amazingly busy. This week I have some regulars booked up but all the newbies are cancelling and rescheduling. Point is that I can't seem to make up my mind where to tour in June so I can't offer them slots..

I don't think it will pick up to what it used to be. 

Girls nowadays get about 25%-50% of the work we got 5-10 years  ago but now with the saturation of EE girls as well as many others plus girls who are just desperate for money, there is no chance it can ever be as good or the worthwhile/stress free job it once was.

On top of that there is less money for guys to spend and they also have less time to escape the SO 🙄

It's just life, sadly no improvement due, IMO anyway.
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Which 'girls'? Where? Based on what? I'm sorry LL, but this is just more hearsay and opinion - of course it's fine to post this but please stop presenting it as concrete facts or first hand knowledge. And I'll also remind everyone that we have forum members originating from all over the world and myriad nationalities who are all welcome here, and xenophobic remarks will not be tolerated.

There have been women becoming prostitutes because they're 'desperate for money' since time began - it's nothing new. And frankly if I was only getting a quarter to half the work I was getting 5-10 years ago I wouldn't bother at all. This thread is specifically for people who are finding it slow to have a moan about it - it isn't an industry overview because the people who are doing fine aren't posting on it, not least because it would be bloody tactless and insensitive to do so and I don't blame them.

I only tour two days a month a different town every other month and I have been ok, not brilliant but ok.  If I put more effort into it I no doubt would do a lot better.

Thank the lord, I found a guy last month who keeps re-booking me. I see him on average about 3-5 hours a week. If it wasn't for him I would've only had 2 bookings this month so far. However like Cutie-pie,

for me 10 bookings a month would be a good month. Anything above would be a great month.

The only EE girls I know charge ?150, ?180 or ?200 per hour. But that's just based on my experience and the ladies I've met. I believe theirs a market for everyone. Or maybe the sun has got to my head.  :)
