    It would be appropriate for an escort to increase his rate providing notification was given in advance of the booking. I do not think it is appropriate to increase rates after a booking is made. I would never expect to be grandfathered in to existing rates, but would absolutely appreciate it (i.e. Peter Hung).
     
    In the end, my spending on this activity is somewhat of a budgeted matter. If, for example, an escort was charging me $200 and hour and he increased it to $250, I may hire him 4 times a year instead of 5 to stay within my $1000 hypothetical budget. I would also, more than likely, decrease any gratuity accordingly. However, just like with any other price increase I face (i.e. auto insurance rates going up), there is the very likely result that I will start to see what else is out there. Without that price increase, if I was happy with the service I was receiving, I would never have considered leaving. So the likely outcome would be, initially not much of a change on amount spent and (unless they were truly amazing) long term, a reduction in frequency or total replacement by another service provider.

    I thought I recognized the guy’s abs in this ad —and the rest of his body—and thought, “this is too good to be true”! Abs are like a fingerprint to me, as most everyone I see has different shaped abs—the striations, the count, the belly button shape, etc all form to combine a unique “fingerprint” in my eyes. So I thought for a bit and went back to my Instagram and found the guy whose pictures those are, complete with the nipple bar. He lives in Bogota, Colombia, and has all those pictures, including his face shown. It seems like he is a go-go dancer or music promoter there, and has a super hot boyfriend. I always thought he had a perfect body, and wished he escorted. However, not seeing any evidence of him being in Florida would make me believe the pictures are stolen.

    I don’t know my IG guy. I just follow him, so I think it would be weird to ask him, “I don’t know you, but do you escort out of San Francisco?” I did ask Rodryyy his hourly and overnight rates, and only got back a general response of, “Hello bud. When would you like to meet?” without answering my original questions. My last text to him stated, “Are you normally based out of San Francisco?”
     
    Still no response.
     
    My excitement of this being the guy in my IG is slowly diminishing, as he is giving limited responses, not answering the questions I’m asking, and therefore doesn’t seem very interested in escorting.

    Has anyone been with, or verified this guy's pictures?

    Apparently he has two positive reviews, but I have to question those positive reviews. The five pictures belong to one of those online fitness guys (that post a ton of workout videos, shows off his body, promotes fitness products, and sells workout and diet routines, etc) I follow on Instagram that is based in Orlando, FL. Now if it IS the guy in my Instagram, I would probably hire him in a heartbeat, as he has a fun personality online, and a killer body.

    I've lost interest too for many of the same reasons echoed here.
    I was never crazy about RB/M4RN then RM but at least there was a solid selection in the past. Now there are few I find attractive and fewer I'd pay for time.
    Craigslist - especially when they had adult encounters - was where all the fun was. A number of open, minded attractive (far more than the typical on RM) advertising. The fact that someone could post a last minute ad with no trace rather than sign up on a RM with a credit card and account brought in a lot more variety. Straight guys, curious guys, guys who just need a few bucks to pay a bill. Great times and adventure - often at a bargain.

    Here are my thoughts. I communicate that I'm looking for an overnight that's more of a date. I want time to take them out to eat and maybe something casual like drinks, coffee, or dessert somewhere. Lots of visiting so a movie would not be a preference. Sex, sleep, sex and breakfast/brunch before they leave.
     
    If I fly them here, I want as close as we can get to that, understanding there are flight times that we have to consider. I pay for everything including airfare. The time spent flying is on them. I don't think it's unreasonable for a chance to earn miles and see a different city as well as earning quite a bit of money.
     
    They are expected to sleep with me unless there is something going on that creates an exception.

    My type too but beware the Russians with "little to no body hair". It's probably in the trash can. They're usually hairy but don't just thin it but shave it all. Russian body hair is coarse and 2-day stubble can cause some serious razor burn (and don't get your genitals around it !)

    Considering I was paying for their travel, I never paid for travel time. In fact that was one of the main reasons I never hired Dave-formerly of DC. He wanted to be paid for travel time. I think he was the only one who ever really requested it.

    I understand your frustration. I think what this means is some combination of he either really doesn't want to do overnights/weekends, he really can't get away from his job, and/or he hasn't really thought about the way overnights or weekends actually work out hour-wise.
     
    Back when I was hiring, I attempted overnights (or weekends) with a few escorts who weren't comfortable being in bed with me. Normally that meant I ended up not meeting them. One was former porn star Conner Habib who said he wasn't able to sleep with someone else. So I didn't meet him. Another escort whose name escapes me said he wouldn't be able to tolerate my BiPAP sleep machine.
     
    In a couple of cases I ended up meeting guys who only told me after we met and things were arranged that they couldn't spend the night. One of these was a long time retired escort in the Miami area
    named Cristian Steele. He didn't tell me until we actually met that he had back spasms from an accident and wasn't going to spend the night-I think he had forgotten his pain pills. I believe he did have actually pain as during intimate time he was having back problems. Austin Wolf stayed with me until around 2 AM or so. But when we arranged things he didn't tell me he would need to leave before the morning to take care of his dogs.

    Fair enough, maybe that would be the case for you, but the original premise from the OP is that, that escort is very young and new and doesn’t yet know what they are doing. Not quite like someone who has setup a bakery on the street and invested a big amount of money before opening shop.

    Thank you for sharing your story. It is so funny how we are all so different and coming from different backgrounds.
     
    I remember when I first started in this trade, I had a rather lower hourly rate (not Craigslist low but RB low) but I was running specials back then. I wanted to see the USA & the world. I offered to clients that if they take me to a US state or a country I have not been before, I charge $300/day. Before I get new inquiries, please note that that limited time offer has expired (10 years ago ).
     
    To address @keroscenefire I would say "Go for it"... just be as "non-intrusive" as you possibly can. Approach it from the angle that you are trying to help (in case they need it) and not from an angle that "I know it better than you, so let me tell you that..... ". I know you would do it as scenario #1, just re-affirming.

    I never initiate the discussion about reduced rates and when I’ve responded to queries it never ends well.
    In the past I’ve suggested to new guys that an incall second and third hour each be 50% of the first Seemed reasonable to me.

    What’s your (or anyone’s) response if there’s a misunderstanding about rates and a client underpays and it’s not discovered until after you parted ways ?
     
    A couple of days ago I met a very low-key, inexperienced guy (modest, brief profile on a less-popular site) who fits within a narrow niche within the trans community. We talked and agreed to meet for 2 hours at a hotel I was to pay for. He said “I can go $300 since you’re getting the hotel” (about $100’ish). I assumed that was for our time together and left him $300 when we parted ways. Later that night I got a super-nice text that basically said it was $300 per hour - $600. I never would have agreed to a $700 expense.
    I was tempted to coach him on rates but didn’t.
     
    Do you write that off as a lesson learned or mention it and request the money ?

    The problem is that If you can’t prove to them that the market price is lower, they might think you are just trying to get a cheap deal out of them.
     
    The only way I would do it which I think would have a genuine impact, is if I could send them a link to a guy which has his rates online. If that cheaper guy is well established (for e.g. has his own website), has very hot pictures and also puts up a very clearly cheaper price, you can say something like “You are really hot and I am sorry I cannot afford you. I understand that your price is your price, and I won’t negotiate you down, but just in case you don’t know this market very well, here is a site of one of my regulars with his rates:<link>.”
     
    If he replies something like (which sometimes happened to me) “but what I offer is a much hotter service”, then you can be polite and say: “then fair enough, your price may be justified, however right now, you are still too expensive for my budget, but if I get much richer i’ll contact you again for sure”.

    OK, I was going to sit this one out, but I can't. I've seen him at Equinox Columbus Circle a few times and his gym etiquette is non-existent. He hangs out and sits on equipment while playing on his phone, not actually using the equipment....just using it as a lounge. He doesn't re-rack his weights....
    If you approach him and ask him to move he'll smile and move, but there's no remorse and it doesn't click to him that he's being a dick. If his boyfriend wasn't 10 feet away and watching I'd be much more comfortable "educating" him
    His body looks great in person but as far as I'm concerned he's a monster.
