Calgary massage $ is insanely high

[Deleted member 92199]

While in Toronto a 60 minute massage is priced at $60 in most places, Calgary seems to have bumped up the prices to 85 or 90 in most places. With receipt its now touching 105 for a 60 minute massage. This is crazy.

 

[Rockk88]

Totally agree. $100 for a sometimes mediocre massage, crazy.

 

[Albertaman]

The one that is seriously laugh worthy advertises on Kijiji as 105 for 50 minutes, 158 for 80 minutes. . Suckers are everywhere

Better to go to Toronto for a week.

Calgary does have high room fees but the add ons are generally pretty cheap.

I was in Toronto and was quoted $50 for an hour and thought that was great……then once inside I was quoted $100 for a HJ. I said no and that I’ve always paid $40 and when it’s exceptional, maybe $60. She flatly refused so I left.

That’s happened on more than one occasion. I never pay more than $120 for an hour with a HJ and $200 max for an hour FS with 2 shots.

There are some in Calgary that do 60 minutes, HJ, topless with touching. 2 that I can think of.

It must be a 80 year old granny in a diaper. Calgary’s economy is better than any other areas in Canada. Canada overall sucks in economy but when the economy is good, pretty girls have a job and they don’t have to touch a random stranger’s ding and cleans up his goo. Calgary’s unemployment rate is 7.5% whereas Toronto is 8.8%. If you take gig jobs out, it will go over 10%. Most of young girls with education in Calgary are almost fully employed. And net income for Calgarians is 10% higher than Torontonians.

You can’t see hot young girls at massage parlors anymore because they can still afford to go out and travel overseas once a year with their jobs. Many of them also have a side hustle online and they don’t have to drain anyone’s pipe anymore.

no. Calgarians are just dumb. The market decides what pricing will be and the market obviously allows it.

I don't care anymore though, I get a nice $8 /hr massage w whatever else I want for less than $40 CAD total now.

So, people are "dumb" because they pay the going local rate? And don't say that if customers started boycotting then the parlours would have to reduce their rates. That could happen, but also what is more likely to happen is that a number of the shops would outright close because they don't have the revenue to stay afloat. And then when there are only half the available places to go, the supply and demand aspect would greatly be in the supply favour. Once that happens, the prices would undoubtedly spike to even higher levels since there are less places looking to serve the same amount of customers. But then, according to your logic, only the incredibly dumb patrons would be going for massages. When in reality, and this is just a generalization and not painting with a broad stroke, those that have the extra disposable income are the ones that tend to be the smarter members of society.

Nobody wants to do this work any more. Have you ever seen any hot girls in early 20s lately at parlors like you used to years go? Hell no. It is the same as full body shops like Calgary nuru or the studio. All the top talent is long gone. The world has changed.

It certainly has changed. The online world has had a major impact on that. Most of the hot young talent is making money in front of a webcam instead of at the side of a massage table now.

All I am saying is that it has nothing to do with people's intelligence (i.e. "dumbness") whether or not they pay more in one city than another for a service. I'd personally rather spend a couple hundred dollars to get a decent massage with a nice finish than to spend $30/month to subscribe to someone's OF and just beat off while watching pre-recorded videos of them naked touching themselves. And if it's more in Calgary than Toronto or Vancouver does that make the user stupid? No, it just means they are supporting the local economy. It's sure a lot cheaper to pay an extra $10-$15 an hour here than to jump on a plane to fly somewhere with a lower room rate.

I agree with your logic. I have never spent money for cam girls and never will.

Massage math begins by acknowledging that only half the population is Male. That’s not factoring in the 18 types of sexual orientations. So maybe only 10% of the population are Male. Who knows?

This hobby is just like a market. Just like any other market the price of the goods and services are driven by the supply and demand. In this hobby the supply is determined by quantity or the number of the SPs available in Calgary. The demand is driven by the clients.

The demand can be assumed to be relatively constant on average. This is the number of clients available in Calgary based on the size of the population. As an example, not a real figure or calculated or statistical figure, lets assume 1% of the entire population of Calgary over 18 enjoys this hobby. The 2025 population of Calgary is estimated at 1.65 million people. So 1% of that is 16,500. Calgary on average has been growing at the rate of 2% per year. So the demand increases by 2% every year. Assuming the total number clients in 2025 to be 16,500 then that increases by 330 people. Now we see how the demand is relatively constant. An increase in demand by 2% does not make a significant impact on the demand curve to justify a price adjustment of more than 2%.

However this is not a perfect market. Clients can thought of as consumers, consuming the services provided. Consumer behaviour can be influenced by the client himself, and the service providers, impacting the demand curve and introducing bias.

The client influences his own behaviour by making certain choices. To some of us this is just a hobby, something we do for fun and enjoyment. As such we set aside a budget for it, X amount of dollars per month. Once a budget is set then we determine how many time we wish to enjoy this hobby in a month. Depending on our budget we also determine how much we are willing to spend per visit. To some this hobby is not a hobby, it is a need and an outlet. This is where the erratic behaviour comes in. Some spend any amount to get what they need. Sex is a drug and is just as addictive if not more.

On the other hand consumer behaviour can also be influenced by the service providers. Here service provider does not necessarily refer to the ladies but to the "net work". Those who recruit the ladies, send them to different AMPs, to different cities, etc, etc. Such a service provider is presumed to be intelligent. They actually pay attention. They ask themselves a few questions on how we make purchase decisions and what are the underlying factors that influence such decisions. They ask:

1. Who is the consumer? most common factors are age and ethnicity.
2. What does the consumer buy? Massage and HJ, massage and BJ, massage and FS, etc, etc
3. Why is the consumer buying? Another words why do we go for a massage with HE, also why do we go to see an escort as oppose to an AMP or a Kijiji ad. etc?
4. When does the consumer buy? Time of day, time of week and time of year.
5. Where do they buy it? LL, Kijiji, CAF, Massage planet classifieds, etc, etc
6. How do they buy? Cash or credit. Pay what is asked or negotiate or just throw cash around
7. Who is involved? That is factors that can help manage the source of our information. In particular forums, like here (Massage Planet) or CAF

In this hobby some service providers do not necessarily react in a rational way. They attempt to take advantage. Other service providers react more rationally. This imho is the biggest factor: Who it is we are dealing with and how is it we are behaving. So the market price for the most part is determined by who it is we are dealing with and how is it we are behaving. This is more less the only variable that can explain the the significant differences between places like Calgary and Edmonton. Both cities have similar population sizes (Edmonton 1.2 million vs Calgary 1.6 million) and are in the same province of the country. Edmonton appears to enjoy lower prices, and better quality of service as well as better service providers compared to Calgary. One can not compare Calgary to Vancouver or Toronto or lager metropolitan areas as the market there is significantly different. That's like comparing apples to oranges.

Lastly consumer behaviour also drives the supply curve in a very similar way as service providers decided where to go and what to charge considering the above questions. This impacts not just the number of service providers (ladies) but the quality as well (the "quality" of the ladies being things we look for in our ladies and our encounters)

A word of caution as a side note: We need to be careful of and aware of who it is we are talking to! Announcement - Combating trolls

What the fuck is Putin talking about ? Lol is he rambling like we need to drink water or we die? Say something we don’t know! What the fuck ? I just wasted two minutes of my life!!

18 types of sexual orientations? What are they all?

 

[newmoth]

The "+" in the LGBTQ+, as opposed to having 18 letters of the alphabet all lined up for your enjoyment

That + is doing a lot of work.

Straight
Lesbian
Gay
Bi
Trans(is this a sexual orientation)
Queer(not sure I understand this)
Asexual?

There are 11 missing.
