Escorts who constantly change their rates

[down_to_business]

How do you deal with this practice as clients?

 

There is an escort I have been considering seeing for a while now. My only hesitation has been he is always changing his rates and I just don't feel like getting into a potential conflict when it comes time to settle up. The change is significant ($100 per hour fluctuation usually). I would likely give him a try at X$ but no way at X+$100.

 

Would you book and hope for the best?

 

Pay the rate listed on the day you booked?

 

Pay the rate listed on the date you meet even if you wouldn't have booked at that rate?

 

Avoid ?

[alexslaveboy]

I can only do out calls to my place cannot travel to the city so I am used to paying about $100.00 more than the listed outcall rate.... but I refuse to go higher than $500 for a one hour session!

An escort that keeps changing prices tend to give me a red flag!

[+ José Soplanucas]

I would agree on the fee when I make the deal. I never make an appointment without explicitly agreeing on the money. Once that is clear, and I am satisfied with the service, I Understand it is extended practice to keep the same rate. At least I never had to discuss fees again with the guys who became my regulars.

[DonaldTramp]

Maybe they are following the Uber model & using surge pricing.

[quaero]

Their service, their price. And nothing wrong with changing price, especially if they move around. Different cities are going to command different value. If they're asking for too much from you, just find a different escort.

Look at today's review (04/25/16) of Larry / Los Angeles..

Talk about changing rates and à la carte pricing...

I had an encounter with someone who advertised at one rate then it increased for the weekend. I called for an appointment with the "week day" rate in my mind but he was not willing to honor that on a Friday or Saturday. I opted not to go with him and then be brought the rate back down to what he had advertised on a Monday LOL. I was skeptical but still went with him and turned out that he was wonderful. I then began seeing him on a regular basis until he moved at the Monday rate.

Guys do change their rates with locale if traveling, and based on demand. If they are on RentMen, I send a message through the site, tell them what makes me happy (and ask them to check my client profile) , ask them what makes them happy, and ask them "What is your rate for an hour of your time for an outcall in West Hollywood", then when I receive a reply I know, and there are no surprises. Any person in business is familiar with the idea of increasing prices with higher demand and reducing them with lower demand. After we have established a rate, on subsequent meetings (unless long periods of time have passed) that rate will be what I expect to pay, unless he tells me his rate has changed.

Communication is the key, don't try to read his mind- ask.

[down_to_business]

Thanks for the different perspectives. Decided the anxiety the whole thing was causing me wasn't worth it and decided to pass. There is no change in location or travel for those who mentioned that. It was a conversation I just didn't want to have.

WHY, does the cock grow another 3 inches on the weekend ?

[jjkrkwood]

It's simple really, they try to get the most they can, and if bookings are slim, the price goes down... There will always be guys willing to pay a higher price, and it creates a monster for guys on the other end of the spectrum.

[mattr]

I have always assumed that rates may fluctuate based on demand. A temporary price drop may stimulate business during a slow period. It can be a conundrum though. If I, as a client, paid $300 and the next day I saw the rate had been lowered to $250, I couldn't help but feel that I had overpaid even though I had willingly agreed to the higher rate.

[+ VeryHappyCustomer]

I ignore the published prices and ask directly. Then I repeat the details when I confirm. Usually a text message: "See you Tuesday at 1 PM. 3 hours for 600 and I'll buy lunch."

 

And that, by the way, is a typical rate for So Cal guys who advertise $250/hr. I don't remember ever being quoted an integer multiple of the base rate.

[Epigonos]

I've always found this a very easy thing to negotiate. I email the guy I'm interested in hiring, tell him how much time I require and what I want to do during that time. I then ask him to let me know if he is interested and also tell me what his fee would be. The one thing we must always keep in mind is that this is a business transaction - no more, no less. We should be professional and we should expect the same from the guy we would like to hire. EASY!

[cmennow]

It was quite big already so the day of the week didn't matter LOL. He said he could command more on the weekends just because it was the weekend so I told him to command more elsewhere and that is when he said, "ok, for you......."

[adventurous old guy]

I'm with Kurtis, Very Happy and Epigonos. This is business for them, be direct. I have a sweet spot for a 1.5 hour encounter -- one seems to short, and I'm usually ready to move along before two. If the rate is on the higher end -- $300/hr say -- I'll propose $500 for an estimated 1.5. Haven't been turned down yet. One guy I want to see again just raised his rates from $300 to $500. Contacted him, and he told me he's got regulars, he's in school so this is part time, and the new $500 rate is really for new customers. He's earned good reviews, so he's testing the market at time when he really doesn't need new business Totally understandable given his situation, more power to him. He was happy to give me the old rate, and I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't asked.

You do run the risk of annoying an escort by making it seem you didn't read or respect the ad.

[+ VeryHappyCustomer]

You're right. But that's a good thing. If I annoy him by text he'll hate me in person.

I had an interesting conversation just last evening with an escort visiting my current city, and it was after a relaxing dinner and a few glasses of a nice French wine. He had just had (another) client, and since he came to the city only a few days back, we had discussed the rates he would charge. He checked the "competition," and priced himself lower (in US $ he is charging $200/hr for in calls, $230/hr for out calls), which surprised me. He said, "I have to market myself slightly lower to attract attention." He then laughed and told me that the previous client was incredulous at how reasonable the rates were (and no... this was not a kiss n tell session as he only told me about the rate and nothing more).

 

In Asia, rates fluctuate wildly as there are times when there are many other escorts visiting a city and so competition is "stiff' and you have to market yourself accordingly. Generally those who seek higher prices also expect to PNP seriously - while lower rates send the single ("No drugs please!") Odd but true.

[TruHart1]

I agree with most of the clients here. Be direct in a discreet way and inquire how much the escort requires for whatever period of time you desire to spend with him. If the escort has been involved in the escort business successfully, he should have no problem with this and let you know the rates he'll charge you. Then you are free to say, "Sorry, but that's above my budget" and thank him, or to go ahead and hire him at his quoted rate. As the client, it is completely up to you!

Me too!

 

I can't stand "à la carte" escorts.

I actually can deal with a la carte escorts.. That is not a problem. I just made clear and explicit what I want and how much I will have to pay for it.

Watch out what you say over the phone/email, don't be too explicit.

[+ José Soplanucas]

Why? I think it is good to be clear about what you want. Can you give me an example of when it would be bad to be explicit? Thank you!

[marylander1940]

yes, but I would stop before saying:

 

I want you to fuck me.

I want to fuck you.

I want you to cum in my mouth, etc

 

I'd say:

 

In my private life I prefer to bottom, etc.

 

Besides on your post you implied if you're not satisfied you pay less than agreed/bargain... Can you clarify it?
