This is ultimately a 'human business' - you gotta trust your gut. Do not let your junior do (much of) the thinking.
Learn to play the game well - the relationship is founded on transaction, every interaction is based on mutual gains, there could be something else overtime (eg respect or even geniune platonic care/friendship) but it rarely go beyond what they would cultivate in their personal life.
I trust my regular to care for my needs when he is on the clock, appreciate his views on life matters but would take his sweet talks with a grain of salt as its his job to make his client feel special. You pay him to do that. 

I give props to providers for sure. It would be impossible for me to have sexual relations with someone for instance who I find not physically attractive at all and then to be a total weirdo or jerk on top of that yeesh.

It all depends on how many days are involved. The more days, the lower daily rate. That’s my experience. 

This is eerily familiar. A colleague of mine was a victim recently, wiped him out of 150k+ just shortly after he paid a deposit for a house. 
On those dating apps scammer, I had found that telling them I am a lawyer usually an instant show stopper lol

Thanks....was asking solely bcs no provider ever quoted me 1k+ for a 24ho hire. Lowest was north of 3,5k. 

Honest qs here, is this a market rate? 

We should all be warned. This is happening on Grindr too. Usually I am approached by a profile with pictures of muscular Asian men. The conversation is always awkward. They quickly shift the conversation to ask what you do for a living. At this point I usually say, I am not interested in crypto and report the profile, since I know what is coming.

Only 2 out of 10 Brazilians i had met that actually perform well. 

Funny how this post went from 'how to' straight to 'try me!'.
Fact is many many providers visit Dubai to make $$$$. Spoke to some travelling providers i met on this topic, they all agree Dubai is the place to make big bucks - high hourly rate, rich clients (though not the easiest bunch to satisfy). 
Echoing sentiment certain westerners seem to look at rich muslim/ asian countries from dated glasses. 

Unless absolutely necessary, I won't randomly text my regulars (not even the one who I have been on trips with or had met free of charge several times for meals). When it comes to paid time, client controls the dynamic but if otherwise its the provider. All my free of charge meets have been proposed by the provider, its their free time afterall. 
On the other note, he did such a pro job that you geniunely enjoy your time together, so much you believe he would do it again (though in a much smaller scale, say for coffee) for free. If he really keen, he would ask you.
I once invite my regular to dinner prior to scheduled session (which would be non paid hour), he politely declined and offer to buy me dessert after play (within paid hours). Couple days forward, he invite me to a brunch free of charge (I paid for meals, he paid for dessert). All in all, very subtle but message is crystal clear.

I agree 100% with this. Have I been out for dinner or drinks with a provider?…sure but they were the ones that suggested it and they made it clear that it would be off the clock and I wasn’t expected to compensate them in any way. There was no follow up communication or texting because we both understood the boundaries.

Assuming personal boundaries weren’t being crossed, from a purely business standpoint, it doesn’t make much sense to me why a provider would push away a known, steady regular — especially after a vacation trip where he was paid even more. For the sake of argument, if his goal as you say was simply to secure a trip, you’d think he’d want to maintain or even strengthen the connection in hopes of getting more trips or consistent work.
One thing to consider — and this is important for you — is whether you can truly move past this if you continue seeing him. If this situation is going to gnaw at you during sessions, especially when being intimate, you need to address it now. Otherwise, you’re spending money on an experience you won’t fully enjoy. Consider sending him that message (or a variation thereof). It allows you to gauge his response without making things awkward or jeopardizing future encounters.
If what you really want is closure, then feel free to say what’s in your heart. Just keep in mind that’s a hard, if not impossible, road to come back from if you later decide you want to continue a professional relationship. Ultimately, the choice you need to make is whether you want to preserve that connection or express your hurt and disappointment at the risk of burning the bridge.

I had reached out before but less so.  It was usually in response to him or planning get-togethers. He had encouraged more communication  —until the trip.  After the trip, however, it was usually initiated by me and his responses got slower, shorter and gradually dissipated.
In retrospect, his communication style was probably designed to reach a certain level of connection with me so that I would keep coming back and invite him to do something like a vacation. Now, having achieved his goal, he may think he has over corrected, and is pushing away so as not to get too close  — but still close enough that I would want to hire him again. That’s my guess at the moment.

I took a guy on vacation once. Things were always wonderful when we had our many weekend overnights until that trip. On that trip, he was distant. I met up with him the night before we departed, and he was quick to split afterwards. He didn’t want me to pick him up for the airport the next morning; he’d Uber. Once we got to where we were going, he wasn’t as engaged as he normally was. He was more interested in his phone (which I happened to glimpse a few times was open to Grindr.) He was more interested in sunning at the beach than doing anything, really. I don’t know for certain, but one afternoon after I had returned from being out dealing with a few things with the resort offices (long story) I come back to my things all crammed into the drawer and the bed ramshackle made—as if my things had been hidden for a hookup. I don’t know that he hooked up for sure, but I suspect it. We never did fuck on that trip and the whole way back home we didn’t speak. It made me hesitant to hire again for travel but I did and I’m happy I did. I have found a fantastic travel escort buddy. But I can totally identify with the OP…

I have been paying my (main) regular the same rate for years.....notwithstanding his rate (as per his RM profile) has gone up by $100. On the other side of coin, my other (less frequent) regular has just up his rate (twice this year) by a total of $100. 
Not for me to say which one is a better business model, but I know which one I will happily frequent more.

Echoing others, I think multiple rounds play is expected for a mutiple hours hire. Its always happened organically in my experiences....a pro provider knows how best to time himself and, on the other hand, you ought to know your body and time yourself accordingly. My go to formula is play-converse-play (might throw in hot tub/pool if accomodation permits) on repeat and only finish shortly prior to end of agreed hour. I once ask for a rest time to cook because I was starving lol
If you need a break time to delay the finale, ask for it. Communication is the key.

90% providers I met charge 450 - 600/ hour....I never haggle on their pricing and that said I dont generally tip. 100% of their earnings are for their own account, safe to assume that they dont pay cut to anyone else. None of my clients ever tip me for my counsel lol
Though I would tip if provider go above and beyond providing services outside of agreed/ expected scope....I once tip 1k for a 4days trip.

I would agree if it were any other field of business - one that doesnt resolve around sex and feeling. 
Honey baiting is also a professional (or at least a calculated) move on provider's part. Might not work on you, cant say the same for others. 
Some clients would open their wallet more on the back of a well designed illusion - heck perhaps they themselves are willing participants.
Is it professional? Depends on who you ask I reckon

Echoing this sentiment. Baseline (for client) is getting what they paid for. Its provider's discretion to give extras (then or after) be it a discount, booking priority, special treatments etc.

We simply have a very different views. To me, such comment is a mind game, but a pro move nonetheless. Professional to me simply means one is excellent at what they do - are they honest or ethical? Thts beside their competency.
I simply see that sort of comments as part of escorting business - so a provider excell at such game is a pro from my pov. Whether or not I be keen to participate in the game is another story.

Some of y'all are cruel.....one thing to call out provider's bad practices but to shame his looks is just unbelievable.
Lets be honest, take a look in the mirror yeah....if not for your $$$, none of them hot sexy providers will even think to spend the evening with you.
