To answer the OP’s question, it’s pretty much what
@Rebaynia said. Who can know better?
My take:
It’s not necessarily that Indies are hotter, although in some cases it can be the case.
IMO, it comes down to Indies being lower volume and providing a more personalized experience.
I see a couple of Indies regularly, and I am quite sure that I am their only client that day (for multi-hour appointments). They are more flexible in terms of availability.
Compare that with trying to book a popular agency girl that sees 3-5 clients per day. They get booked up pretty much when the schedule comes up!
In general, Indies are more mature. They may have worked at an agency previously, may have a business or other projects IRL, so more life experience. Of course, this is a general statement, it’s case by case.
Indies and agency SPs each have their place, depending what you’re looking for.
One advantage of agencies is that if a girl is already booked at your preferred time, you can try to book to another girl. Also, more selection obviously, as there are more girls working each day. And their rate is lower, as stated multiple times.
For me, I see both Indies and agency SPs. For building some chemistry and for multi-hour appointments, I’ll repeat with an Indy.
If I haven’t planned in advance and want to see an SP that day, I’ll probably book thru an agency.
It’s different for each person, based on budget, preferences, likes/dislikes, time constraints, frequency of hobbying, etc.
To each their own!
