Something new can always come up, even after hiring for so many years.

 

There is a newbie who is as green as the grass in spring. Met him once to make sure he is legit, just a casual encounter. Willing to take the next step and go for an overnight with him. He is very enthused about everything but when I ask him what his rate would be for an overnight he says as he has never done one he has no idea what would be appropriate and suggests I make a reasonable offer.

 

I hate to be in this position. I could low ball him but I don't want to cheat anyone and that could backfire in the long run if he realizes I've been short changing him. But if it is a regular rate then I probably wouldn't see him nearly as often.

 

The average posted rate and usual rate given when "ask me" is stated in ads for this area is $1000 for an overnight.

 

I really like this guy and think it could be perfect for me so I want to take this matter seriously for not only this first session but for possible future ones. No guarantees it will work out that way but seems like a critical step. And everything after this will be based off of this rate established to some extent...weekends and trips that last several days or longer (assuming things work out).

 

As a reference point, his standard escort rate is $100/hr which is, as we all know, quite an outstanding rate.

 

So my question to my fellow clients....how would you answer him?

I would do the right thing and pay him the going rate. Many of us have great fun with escorts, especially the good ones. If you give this newbie a fair shake, perhaps you will be the one who got him started on the path to being one of those escorts we all enjoy.

I think 500-600 is fair.....see how the overnight goes. If it's just an ok evening...nothing special, maybe what you paid him is what it's worth. But if it's a great night, give him a really nice tip...maybe extra $100-200.

He may not know industry standard rate, but you do. You pay him standard rate. You take this as a chance to educate him on the industry. If you lowball him & he finds out later that you did, there is a good chance he drops you like a new mom drops a shitty diaper in the trashcan.

.You are the client, your job is not to educate or mentor. Send the fledgling to go do his own homework by looking up sites, networking with other escorts, etc. if he is mature enough to escort, he needs to be mature enough to look out for his best interests. I'm with @MikeyGMin , and I would tell him you will pay standard rate based on his quote, but he needs to quote you

I Agree with @Truereview (This coming from an Escort). Make him do his Homework and make HIM give You a Quote. That way You are completely In the clear In the long run. When I first started Escorting I had no clue what to Charge for my First Overnight, And let the First guy who asked for one Name his Price...He Lowballed me Big time. At the time I didnt realize I was being Cheated but Once I did I have to admit that while I wasnt Pissed at him, I was Dissapointed. I brought it up to him a Few Months later(I was seeing him about Once a month) and He Apologized. At first he said He was just throwing a Price out there...but when I agreed to it the Temptation of Saving 100's of Dollars he couldnt Resist. That same night I Spanked him....Hard;) We laughed it off(Sort of) and he now pays What he knows is FAIR.

I would probably offer him $750 and explain that overnights differ greatly depending of the escort’s preferences. Additionally I would tell him that rates vary anywhere from $700 to $1,500 or more. Escorts who enjoy overnights with ONE client frequently charge less while escorts who prefer one hour appointments tend to charge more for overnights. An escorts charging $750 for an overnight would have to have three clients at $250 per hour each to equal the one overnight client at $750. It really is all a matter of preferences.

I agree with the guys suggesting a 500 proposal, and I do not think you would be taking advantage of him if you are not already taking advantage of his naivety by paying only 100 hourly. If he is charging for the hour 50% of the market average, it is reasonable to expect the same for an overnight arrangement.

Thanks to all that provided a response and their view on how they would handle it. While I do think it might be best for him to educate himself on the whole thing a bit more, I decided to make a suggestion and see what he said. I went back to him and proffered 800 for the overnight. Thinking that it was reasonable considering his hourly rate but also not to far out of line with the average overnight. It would be on the low end of most ads I've seen lately in my area. As one might expect, he came back with a counter offer. And he countered at, believe it or not, 600. Now lots of things go through my mind...did he mistype, or is limited in what services he will offer (which there is no indication of that from what he has written), or wants to cultivate an ongoing arrangement that is reasonable for both (preferring just a limited number of these types of arrangements) or this is a thrill for him and the money doesn't really matter. Knowing a bit about him from our meeting, I tend to think it is likely the desire for an ongoing arrangement. So I will agree to his counter and tip him nicely, assuming of course things go as expected. I may have found a diamond in the rough. Thoughts, reactions, suggestions for moving forward.....

His counter is not surprising at all. He's new, cautious, uncertain of his ability to satisfy, no track record, likely dealing with cash sums unfamiliar to him. Since your communications with him are ok, I would be comfortable meeting him too. Your option to tip gives you latitude to reward an upside surprise. Plenty of guys enter the market place over-priced for their skillset. Good for him for exercising price restraint.

 

Paying 1000 for an overnight for a guy charging 100/hr is not realistic at all. The average ratio is around 4x (overnight/hourly). Phrases like "fair", "on the hook", "in the clear" are irrelevant when two adults come to an agreement, honor the agreement, and treat each other respectfully. Paying an unvetted newbie the same fee as a proven, vetted provider is a complete denial of the risk-reward equation. Folks who don't hire newbies don't understand the effort, the communication parsing, the risk, the coaching, etc. True, I/we are not responsible to mentor anyone. Adults are responsible for their own research, decisions, and business model, but there are plenty of advertising, well-reviewed providers in our world who would not currently be available for our enjoyment if someone had not helped them along to figure this stuff out.

 

Hope you have a good time. Let us know when you hit the jackpot. ;)

I congratulate you on your find, jgoo. You asked for suggestions and as he is such a novice, mine would be to outline in a friendly but precise fashion how you expect the overnight to unfold. If you plan to take him to dinner in a good restaurant, tell him ahead of time so that he can dress appropriately and feel comfortable. And if like me, you're middle-aged, I'd spell out how many hours sleep you need and how you prefer physical activity before dinner and on waking in the morning.

Go with the encounter, and if it's good, ASK about a prolonged relationship.
