When you contact them, tell you are responding to their ad in Mintboys or Friendboy. Often they have different pricing. Actually, I am making an assumption here. I do know from personal experience that when a professional advertises in A4A and in RM, I get lower quotes if I say I am responding the A4A ad. I am assuming that it may be the same in MB and FB cases.

Self righteous, judgmental people always abound. They are so in need to look down at others that they cannot even read. I mean, read and understand what actually was written. Do not waste your time, friend. Just ignore them.

Have you checked Mintboys? The owner is quite open about his interest on hunting those guys to advertise in his site.

I just saw it Boomer. I forgot to ask Kemon if he wanted me to report the fee he posts in Friendboy (200/250) or the fee he actually quoted me. He quoted 120 first time, there was no negotiation here.

I just checked my reviews. The last time I paid 300 was April 2018, in Palm Springs. Since then, the only time I have considered paying that amount was when Krave Melanin visited DC. Definitely, what I am getting for 120 an hour is way better than what I have ever gotten at 300. Before last April, I think I paid 300 for Sean Xavier. He used to be my favorite porn star, and our encounters were just as good as his movies. I would do it again, but I am aware I am just paying for the brand. The beauty and the quality of the engagements I am getting bellow 200 are just as good, or even better, than a Sean Xavier experience. I want to be extra clear about one thing. I am not criticizing providers who charge 300 and higher. Good for them. What I am questioning is this "300 is the norm" myth. Indeed, there are many guys who charge 300, but there are also many who charge way above and way below that rate. The escorting market is very diverse in all aspects, prices included. As every market, there are prices for all the clients willing to pay. There are wealthy guys that can afford to pay thousands as a tip. There are also clients like me. I make less than 100K per year, living in an expensive metropolitan area. I do not enjoy hiring a few times per year. The way I enjoy our hobby is hiring several times a month. As I am sure I am representative of many clients, there are plenty of awesome professionals willing to take the money we can pay.

Washington DC.

You can do better. I am getting 250 for two hours.

Yeah, apparently some do not know that working as a porn performer and as an escort are two quite different things. There are safety protocols enforced by porn companies following up on performers STDs testing.

- Be attentive to his vibe. If he catches an attitude, move on. - If you still do not feel confident during the conversation, share your doubts. Tell him that you do not want to have sub standard services because you cannot pay the original quote. The truth is that "300 is the new norm" is a well spread myth. Therefore, many are asking for 300 just because it feels like what you are supposed to do.

Just remember I never open the negotiation. The kick start is up to the professional.

I used to fear the same when I was in the anti bargaining club. I guess it is about connecting and communicating clearly and respectfully. The fact is that reality proved me wrong. I think you would agree with an old common knowledge truth: there is no correlation between the height of the fee and the quality of the experience. Well, I came to believe from my own personal experience that there is no correlation either between bargaining/not bargaining and engagement and passion during the encounter.

If you are into hot Black bottoms, I have a couple of wonders to recommend in LA and San Diego.

Perhaps we should add Seeking to the list of alternative outlets. Yeah.

Well, you still have the other options.

Mintboys, Friendboy, A4A, hook up apps, stripper bars.

If you really want to do something about it: Diversify your sources. Get out of Rentmen and try other outlets. You will be surprised at some prices out there if you think 300 is the norm. Do not be afraid of bargaining Take risks. Out of my last 5 hires 2 where not reviewed providers, and both were excellent. I know that many friends here are allergic at bargaining, I am not. My concern is respecting the provider's business model. When I am quoted 300 or higher, I say No, Thanks, Good luck. Often the conversation ends there and I move on. Also often I am asked for a counter offer. In these cases I understand the provider is allowing a negotiation, and most times we reach an agreement.

I only know in depth the DC market, although I guess we can assume it is not different that any other big city, besides differences in the predominant racial mixes (p.e. more Asians and Mexicans in LA). Right now in DC I have a regular stripper who charges 100, a raising porn star who charges me 120, and a very hot newbie who charges me 250.

It is not outrageous and it is not the norm. If you think it is, you need to diversify your sources.

Sure, there are ranges of prices that work for different markets and business models. I am all for the guys to charge whatever works for their business plans, and all for the clients to pay whatever is comfortable for them. This hobby always involves finding a good match, the right client for the right provider. Price is just one of the many variables. I am not questioning prices at 300 and over. Some day I want to fuck Alam Wernick, I will have to go over my cap. Same with Krave Melanin. What I am questioning is stating that 300 is the norm. The market is much bigger and much more diverse than most people think.

LOL. I thought that whore was more expensive.

You did not insult me, it is a legit joke. I just wanted to make clear that is is a good joke reflecting a natural skepticism if you believe that 300 is the norm; but not a good joke to reflect reality. Keep joking, some of us have a thick skin and can laugh even at ourselves.

Of course there is an afterlife!

If you read my reviews, you should know the quality of the guys I am hiring. Believe me, they are way hotter that @crushme99 's joke, some of them are porn performers and strippers. I do not share what I am paying, but they are hot and good at sex. In the last two months I hired about 5 guys paying inside that range.
