$300 makes me crazy. I keep thinking what happened to $200? But then I remember, I started paying $200 over 15 years ago. With the cost of living increases isn't that about $300? Yet it still makes me (and others) crazy. I just hate spending that much.

 

 

I think 300 is a lot too. it’s pretty much my upper limit for a session. Perhaps in nyc, there are many rich guys willing to spend 300 plus plus, but unfortunately i’m not one of them...hard for me to justify. I’d rather see someone for 200 on a weekly basis than periodically seeing someone who charges 300.

I’ve no problem paying $300 for someone I find really hot and want to meet. Even a bit more if I’m somehow extra intrigued or the gentlemen comes recommended from a source I trust.

 

That said....my problem becomes affording the same guy for repeats. I paid a bit more than $350 recently for a guy I’d lusted over for months on RM. It was an incredible visit....now he keeps asking me to repeat, and I want too....but the amount of repeat the visit stops me.

 

Similar happened when I was first meeting guys on Seeking...one of my first dates was wonderful connection and chemistry in and out of the bedroom. Problem was I was so new to Seeking and I offered more to guy than I started offering as my experiences there grew. Now...I want to see him, but he’s over double the allowance of at least 2-3 other guys I’ve met there.

If I were you I'd be honest about the situation. Let him know that you don't normally pay that rate and what you're willing to pay on a regular basis. He may agree to it or not. I would think that having a reliable repeat client is more valuable than a lot of new random appointments.

 

Much like when I had a house for rent. I would be willing to charge a lower rent if I had a great reliable, clean tenant.

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.

latbear4blk, I certainly meant no insult to you or any of the guys you know. I wish you well and please excuse my clumsy attempt at some humor. Have a great week up ahead. Take care.

 

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.

In his defense, when I objected to 350 he quickly quoted me 300 for the hour. But I feel bad about that. What if I accepted 300? It gets the 'meeting' off to an awkward start. Or am I just too sensitive?

I never go above 300. I've noticed that most escorts will go down in rate once you question or say no thanks. I don't like haggling and if the rate was on the page we wouldn't go through this issue. If a quality beautiful man like Justin is at 300 that works for me.

You’re right...and I did. We lowered the allowance abot 25%, but I sensed some resentment so haven’t called him as often.

 

I don’t have an issue being honest/open in situations like this. I’ve successfully used the logic “wouldn’t you rather see me twice as often for xx rather than les often for xxx?”. This young man was kind of an exception.

The one guy in Denver who I hired for $300 told me he keeps it that high in part because his main job keeps him so busy that he doesn't really have time to escort all the time and the price point keeps him from having to make arrangements all the time. I actually thought he was worth $300 as he was one of the most accommodating escorts I have been with, but I've also only been with him once because he was so expensive and I have a few regulars that I'd rather see more frequently for less. So I guess his plan is working then. :)

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.

I can see that you have a genuine difficulty @MikeBiDude with a guy from Seeking. Essentially you are lowering what you offer him. And I can see how a young man would ask himself 'why should I be paid less'? I guess thats why I like to open negotiations low but, on having a great time, I am generous on a number of fronts (restaurants with great food and wine, pick up random bills and offer no-strings cash). I think it's much easier when you can raise, not lower, expectations.

 

And I agree and sympathise with @kevininsa. I'm aware that many people in ordinary jobs have to work hard to earn $300 after taxes etc. To me, $300 is still a lot of money. Yet I'll spend that on a very good bottle of wine when the fancy takes me. And I recall that in Manhattan 15 years ago, when escorts asked $200, a good 3 course dinner for 2 with wine cost $200 or less. Life is full of contradictions.

This is the exact reason I do not hire except a few times a year.

I am tired of price hikes and in Dallas the talent for the type of experience. I want does not match the price tag.
