If competing purely on price becomes the norm it'll simply come to the point where there really isn't any point in doing the 'job' so its ultimately self-defeating really where people just lower their prices continually. Rates should reflect what escorting involves really, if there were no strong financial incentive how could there be any point in doing it? Personally I think people will pay a fair rate for a good service with someone they want to spend a little time with and I don't think everyone simply opts for the cheapest foreign escorts with indecipherable two sentence AW profiles, I think many would prefer to book someone from their own or similar background who they can connect with and might actually be able to converse with them generally understanding what they're saying.
