Haircuts and WGs

20 years ago, I worked in an economic consulting firm in the US.  This was before I had done much international travel.  One day a bunch of us were sitting around the coffee machine, drinking coffee and chatting.  All of a sudden, one of the company Directors (who did do a lot of international travel) said, "You want to know something interesting?  The price of a woman is roughly 10 times the price of a haircut the world over..."

I thought this was interesting for several reasons...

1.  That anyone would have made this observation...  
2.  That anyone would have said such a thing in an American business environment (mongering is politically incorrect in the US)...
3.  And because as I now travel the world, I think he's more or less correct...

Have fun, CGP

Cheap haircut around my area of HK is around 60-80. Cheap girl in the same area is around 300-400. Around a 5x multiple.

but haircuts are one of the most variable priced service ever! so your directory is just playing an old cold reading trick. In singapore, a haircut ranges from 10 bucks to 50 bucks for a standard  off the top/sides haircut - and up to 2000 for those with the cash to spare. I'm sure that it's the same in HK.

For your reference Price of a legal hooker 1 hour is between 50-150. - a freelancer is more expensive.

Either that or she needs to be giving you a BJ with that trim!

The 10X factor sounds kinda right to me too.  To make the math work you have to consider the very wide range of prices/services.  Haircuts can be $2 (Vietnam sidewalk) to $50 (expat salon in HCMC), versus services: $15 BBBJ (Hot Toc, expat price) to $100 (LT overnight).

So the gentleman's comment is actually quite tough to nail down, given it's generality of context.  However, have any of you notice that the 10X factor is spot on accurate (+/- 1 SD) if comparing the cost of a shoe shine to the cost of a SW BBBJ in a back alley?? Hmmm?

Yeah a local place in cwb will set u back about 100hkd equates to the hkd1000 for a freelancer in wan chai.

Although if u go to Toni and guy you'll pay 500hkd - so 10 x that and you in 2 columbians territory!!!

What is the point in comparing a grooming activity to a WG? Just ridiculous. Why dont you just compare the price of a woman to the price of the coffee you are drinking?? You can be socially accepted without drinking coffee atleast rather than not getting a haircut, dont drink coffee and fuck extra WG.

I don't know what you're drinking, but I'll wager it isn't coffee...

There are $30 back alley haircuts as well as $2000 ones at the Grand Hyatt... I guess there are $300 wgs as well as $20,000... so his statement is sorta correct... sorta like saying water is wet...

There's some value to the idea but if you look at western europe the varied levels of girls make this difficult.

There are some places where this falls down though. UK and NL both can be pretty expensive in terms of things like haircuts/grooming (excluding the bargain basement) but the girls are not 10X the price (although this depends on the time).

It's an interesting theory though, especially given that I've met many attractive hair dressers over the years

I think we are taking the directors comments too literal.  

Roughly, 10 dollar for haircut, 100 bucks for fs.  It's a pretty common ratio I think.

Good haircut in BJ, 150rmb, good class escort, 1500rmb

Medium range haircut in BJ, 60 rmb, medium range escort, 600 bucks.

In L.A,

Medium range haircut, 12 - 15 bucks, medium range fs service, 120-150 bucks?

I 'm sure these numbers can vary, but it's close enough for me.

I think I watched something on the History Channel about prostitution during the Roman Empire, the cost of FS back then is the relatively the same cost as it is now when compared to the standard of living.  After all it is the worlds oldest profession.

I think you are right.  

When a WG can serve you from hkd 100 and up the  equation  is probably more geografical.

In EU you may pay more for a haircut.

In Asia you have more  choices.

We need more data points like this!  A single person offering both services...  What was the ratio of the rates?
