Any provider who's offering budget friendly services? We can even skip the massage part, no need for that haha! NY/NJ located here. Hopefully somebody could reply 😅

You get what you pay for and quality is remembered long after price is forgotten. Hiring a provider is not like Walmart.

I'll be the contrarian here.

I think there's a lot of justification/rationalization on this site regarding rates and quality.  I actually don't think that higher rates necessarily equates to a better quality experience.  Some of the worst erotic massages I ever had were from guys who charged the most.  One of my favorite escorts (whom I hired many times) was a college student who set his rates so low that I always tipped him very generously.  My other regular had rates that were average at the time.  I also used to hire off Craigslist quite a lot and had many good experiences with guys whose rates were on the lower end, and a few times I hired guys with higher profiles for a higher rate and didn't enjoy myself nearly as much.  One of the worst was a "porn star" who just seemed haggard and very well may have been coming down off a meth bender.  I'm not saying that I never enjoyed myself with someone whose rates were towards the top of the tier; I'm just saying that my enjoyment historically has had little correlation with how much I was paying.

I can certainly see your point.  Sometimes you only know from experience with the provider.     And no,  your not a "contrarian" ,  I always appreciate a different point of view to ponder.

In my city there are certain areas where, at night some gentlemen stand out in corners offering discount and dollar-store quality sex.

In a serious note, I agree about paying insane prices not being equivalent to obtaining a quality experience. There are posts here about clients getting ripped off by providers and not getting what they paid for (This is an example). There are also many posts about fake profiles, fake reviews and fake information. What we do have now is a better way of connecting, researching and consequently making better decisions about providers and/or clients. That also provides a layer of protection to both clients and providers. Still, I do believe that some providers are overpriced, maybe due to their inexperience (the young ones tend to suffer more of that), or by the attitude that they have to get compensated for making some kind of "sacrifice" by having sex with a person they wouldn't have sex with by choice.

Then there are also the typical concepts of marketing (high price is perceived as better, lower price as too good to be true). Those things do come to play from us clients.

That said, and this is just for a massage, I've found in my town a very inexpensive masseur that provides the best massage ever. The guy is excellent. And he is the most inexpensive I've seen in my town. I imagine that the same possibility can exist for escort services. Personally I don't think it's an unreasonable inquiry to check rates.

While that often can be the case, I seriously doubt anyone of remark and worthwhile is going jump all over this offer.

100% agree.   A higher rate rarely means a higher level of service or quality.  In fact, it is usually just the opposite.

Man I miss the CL days. It is what got me into receiving massages. 

I had some amazing experience that where so much cheaper than anyone on the other sites. 

I also agree that price does not equal a better experience. In fact for me personally I have a cap and if a provider is above that I just don't engage. 

I never ask a provider to reduce their fee I just move on. I know what a sensual massage is worth for me. I also leverage the idea that I may get a did no matter what the reviews say because each experience is unique.

If you are willing to do the work, there are bargains to be had on Grindr and the other hookup apps.   The "work" is finding those guys who are open to a compensated arrangement.  The apps do not support this activity, and will shut down members and discussion that wander into the "paid" space, so it can be tricky to navigate but there is opportunity to be had here.  You need to learn the code words to use to see if there is interest then take discussion outside the app.  I have a friend who I met on this board who has a LOT of success here 🍆🍑 good luck

Weird. Just glancing through Grindr ads, a lot of older men added messages specififying they don't want to pay. I got propositioned by a twink escort, and I hadn't even looked at his entry. I assume there's a lot more of that on Grindr than I'd imagine.

I've had a few guys approach me on Grindr about hiring them.  Never amounted to anything.

So is that code? like them saying they don't wanna pay is really just a app friendly way of saying they would?

No, I think it's to try to stop guys from sending messages of interest that don't initially mention money that then lead to a request for a "donation" after there's an expression of mutual interest.  In other words, don't act like you're interested in me if your ultimate goal is to get a client because I am not willing to pay anyone.

If budget matters, I sometimes send providers my pics and ask for a discount. I think they appreciate seeing who their client is before hand just to make sure you're a normal dude ya kno?

I think you can just send a photo without asking for a discount. I just think it's kinda insulting

I’ve heard similar stories of amazing Grindr hires. I just dread downloading that app, or any similar ones. I’m trying to be more “analog” in my life these days!
