Scanning through this thread, I was thinking the exact same thing when I got to psychman's (excuse me,
Psychman's
) post. He, and El C, really hit the nail on the head. If there is one place we should let things go it is in this section. That is one reason it was created in the first place. If silly questions or bad spelling/grammar bother you that much don't even bother reading anything in this section.
Okay, now for my take on this question. I suspect that, at the high end, some guys, even around here, have paid way more than they care to admit. Certainly closer to $100 than to $50 for an hour with the hotter chicas. And, at the low end, I suspect most of those guys that boast about snagging "hidden gems" for $50 or less are really snagging girls that most of us would not consider all that hot looking. Personally, I think the overall level of attractiveness at the HDR/BM is vastly over-rated in general. Sure they have a lot of 8-9's, but 6-7's is more the norm and 5's or less are not uncommon. Real 10's are very rare and when they do occur generally can and do stick to the $100/hr mark (while even more rarely providing GFE service at that level).
Does this paint an overly negative picture of the SJ scene. Not necessarily. First of all one can't really accurately answer this question because what is hot is obviously in the eye of the beholder. YMMV. If you think the girl is hot, what difference does it really make if other guys think she is nothing special. Secondly, way too much emphasis is placed on how the girls look anyway. I think more often than not the hottest sessions are not with the girls that LOOK the hottest. I'd rather have a great GFE session with a 7 for $50-60 than a mechanical, let-me-get-back-to-the-bar session with a 10 for $100. And thirdly, everything I just said in the paragraph above applies mostly to the HDR/BM. When guys talk about finding hidden gems for under $50, more often than not they're not finding them at places like the BM, where prices are being driven up by ignorant newbies, but at all those other places that such newbies don't know about. My best piece of advice on this question is that if you want to find a hotty for $50 or under and you don't want to spend half the night trying to locate her in the crowd and the other half of the night negotiating her down to your $50 price point, the simpler thing is to just not restrict yourself to the BM (vets, I know my time estimates are exaggerated but the point is it often is simplest to say Phuck the BM and just go somewhere else)
One final note:

You get hot ladies for 100.00 in the states? WHERE? I want to come visit....
This has been covered in another thread in the General section. I don't think he was referring just to the $100 but factoring in the $75-100/hr overhead involved in traveling to CR that many guys seem to want to overlook. And yes, you can find girls in the US (at least in Tampa) for as low as $175-200/hr. The problem is those girls are more on the level of what you find in the HDR for less than $50 than to any of the hotter BM girls that one would ever pay as much as $100 for. So while Daltin's point isn't as ridiculous as Paco makes it seem, it still does not quite apply.
Daltin,
I'm glad to see you don't take the criticism too seriously and I wish more newbies were as thickskinned. Not all but many newbies seem to be subjected to this for one reason or another. You have to understand that the vets around here have seen guys like you come and go here all the time and sometimes our patience grows short. You just have to look at the abuse as part of the price you pay for picking our brains. If I were you though I'd still heed GG's advice about using WORD, spellchecking and pasting as that might help you avoid a lot of the criticism not to mention making it a lot easier on all of us innocent bystanders.
Oh yeah, and when you get back from your trip be sure to post and pass on what you've learned. Maybe you could also hook up with other Tampa area CRT members at one of our local chapter meetings.
