Changes after Civid-19 has passed?

[ProSlacker]

What do others think will be different after the pandemic ends?

More providers due to many women losing RW jobs - and then competition over rates? Fewer due to current providers leaving the area?

People end up with roommates or more than before?

Poeple spending less/saving more after seeing how quickly things can change?

Fewer restaurants, but they become more crowded?

Malls/stores wiped out? Prices going up due to less competition since fewer stores or lower prices because few are buying?

I can see 2 competing forces - people who were employed for the duration may have saved up just due having fewer opportunities to spend, and go on a buying spree due to lower prices vs. others who maxed out their credit cards after being laid off, and stop or reduce spending on everything for a long time.

All excellent questions and am sure we could all try to predict the future but impossible. We simply do not know how long this will last, how it will impact what industry, housing, hotel/restaurant sector, the health industry, travel etc. How the government may or may not bail out certain industries like the airlines. A family member said just yesterday something to the extent ' This is going to change the world and all of us as a people; we just don't know how.'

A few things are for sure.

1) Death
2) Taxes
3) There will always be women willing to sell their bodies and offer sex to men and
4) There will always be men to pay the women who wish to do so.

Beyond that, no clue.

Guessing how it will effect the world of prostitution we still do not know. I'll adjust accordingly but it sure won't die. Maybe Italy will finally legalize it, tell the Vatican to stop dictating their lives once and for all.

The longer it goes on however I think the more destroyed the middle class and the poor will be, the upper middle class and rich will thrive. Crime will rise. Economic disparity is going to widen.

Really, anyone's guess is as good as the next guys'. Or girl's.

[ProSlacker]

Economic disparity will definitely widen.

One thing I hope happens is that many companies find that letting people work from home isn't such a bad thing - and could save them on the cost of office space.

This is a Black Swan event.

This is a medical emergency.

The economy was doing great until the pandemic. It will rebound once the pandemic is under control.

Having said that, the stocks were over valued and due for a correction.

Tourism and cruise industries will see a decline. (Those cruise ships are floating Petri Dishes.)

This is a wake up call.

Nations will start thinking about the supply chains and try to bring manufacturing back home specially the essential items like medical supplies etc.

Nations are realizing the importance of borders.

As for the world's oldest profession, it's called that for a reason. It was there in the past, it's here now and it will be there in the future no matter how hard it is suppressed!

On behalf of the rude Rudys, I apologize Judy. No need for bad manners and rude behavior.

One day I’m optimistic that this will end quicker than they think. The next day I’m back to bleaching everything and concerned we will end up in a War of the World. Am I under reacting or over reacting?! I do know I’m way more grateful for every day I wake up! I would think a lot of us have had a lot of time to reflect, that’s for sure. I’m not sure of anything else.

Once businesses open and people are back to work, there may be conflicts between people who are not concerned about getting infected and those who are - related to how close people get to each other. Invading someone's space might be tolerated a lot less. At least for a while. Standing in lines, sitting in a waiting room, etc - lots of places where this could be an issue.

I wouldn't be surprised if restaurants that serve food at their bar will not want people sitting at the bar since they would be closer to the staff behind the bar, and only serve food at tables.

Partitions between customers and staff will probably be around for a while and may become more common.

One thing I would like to see is a way to confirm a puchase in Google Pay and with credit cards without having to touch a PIN pad.

I think it is a given that a lot of businesses will close. A bunch of small business owners took out PPP loans without understanding what it is meant for. A lot of businesses have realized that they can operate with less staff. Owners understand overhead a bit more. I don't know much about the business the ladies here are in. I would assume more providers, more broke wannabe clients, less quality clients, lower prices, lower new provider quality, more violence and hostility. The Alphabet boys may have better things to worry about for awhile. Who knows. The survivors will keep on surviving and the thrivers will likely keep on thriving.

What was 2008 like? Did it effect this industry?

What was 2008 like? Did it effect this industry?

I noted a number of professionally educated ladies in legit businesses were laid off and started dancing at clubs and working as escorts during the Spring 2000 and 2008-2009 time frames when economy and stock markets went south.

Some ladies found that they could make more money working in the hobby than they could in regular professional businesses. Some actually loved the idea of having lots of sex and getting paid for it--well, not for all, but some for sure. I personally know of several professional business ladies with significant RW income who still work the hobby for some extra cash and fun. NSA sex with a guy they can then send out the door without any concerns appeals to some very hot ladies. If you take your time and pay attention, you should find and cultivate such arrangements.

Expect some pricing turbulence as some (smart) ladies will temporarily cut their rates to regain regular clients (I've seen that happen already) and maintain their market share. Some other ladies will look at this at opportunity to jack up their prices because they "think" the some guys will pay for it. Most experienced ATX guys will most likely NOT fall for those "deals."

Suggest we don't fall victim to increased prices nor should we take advantage of long-term hobby friends who are now going to be playing catch up on their bills. Everyone should think with their big heads, consider building strong base of quality friends, and make themselves readily available when it's safe to play in future.

Watch out for visiting out-of-town ladies who are here only to scam ATX guys and make a quick buck before moving on to next city. Watch out of ladies coming off the lessor boards who are only looking for quick scores and need to feed their bad habits.

In addition to COVID-19, there is the tanking of the general markets and of course, the complete meltdown of the crude business and it will have a knock on effect on related oil service businesses. This will no doubt have an effect on available hobby funds. Providers in West TX and Houston will be looking further afield for revenue opps. Perhaps more traveling providers once things start to lift a bit?

I would be ok with providers keeping their current rates, but adding more time for the amount - or some extra services.

As for the economy, I read that restaurants have an average of 16 days of cash reserves. I don't see how many will survive - especially if they don't have back rent waived in many cases. Car dealerships may finance the cost of their inventory. The interest for a few months and reduced sales could be deastating for them - or any business that finances its inventory.

I can see some colleges and universities that had not offered online courses before continue t do it going forward. The can scale up online courses and the profit will be higher.

I just hope more jobs don't get outsourced offshore as a result. There are countries in central and south America in the US time zones that are competing for this work already.

Thanks for the advice. I am kind of unsure about the whole travelling thing. It seems to be a popular business model. I guess I wonder why someone can't build enough regular clientele to sustain them? Why the need to travel? Why the need for the increased risk? I guess I could understand if you live in a podunk town. But why be in this business and choose to live in small town USA
