Another welcome to @TaylorREIGNXXX ! Big welcome!

 

Regarding this guy's pricing he probably is taking his cue from the airline and hotel industry! Every day there seems to be a different price! At times every hour! It all seems so bizarre at times, but that is their business model and seems to be his as well. Perhaps he's looking for that smart shopper or more likely for a total sucker..

 

Regarding the guy himself he is hot in a certain way, but not exactly my way... I'm saving my 1000 bananas for a certain special guy, and it will be more than just a one time deal for that amount of bananas! ;)

Naw, the older generation just didn't all have computers, so less chances to fuck up spelling. Don't forget to comment on my punctuation too cause that isnt really that important to me either. ;)

 

While--strangely!--both spelling and punctuation are very important to the people who will be marking college or university essays and conducting job interviews. While a few of them might be of "the older generation", many will simply be those of the younger generation who happen to have perfected their communication and writing skills, and who got their very well-paid positions because of them.

 

In an increasingly tough job market, language skills act as a filter. They also flag one's social class. I guess it all depends on what one will settle for given the least possible effort.

Taylor welcome to the site. It is unfortunate that many of the comments on this thread have been negative and not particularly helpful. Thus here are a few things you might want to consider.

 

If so look around at the major U.S. markets. You will find that $300 an hour is high end unless you are a well-known porn actor. If one hour appointments are what you are seeking then keep your hourly rate low and don’t discount multiple hour and overnight appointments.

 

If multiple hour appointments are appealing to you then give a discount for additional hours. If you are serious about escorting one of your goals should be to develop a group of regular clients. Discounts appeal to this group. For discussion sake let’s say your regular hourly rate is $250 then is might be wise to charge $500 or $600 for a three hour appointment.

 

Overnights can be a serious money maker if you don’t price yourself out of the market. Again for discussion sake let’s say your regular hourly rate is $250. The question then might be how likely are you to have three one hour appointment in a day for a total of $750. If you were to charge $750 or $800 you have only one client to please and he will probably throw in dinner and possibly even breakfast.

 

These are just a few things for you to consider. Frankly I think you have ALL the physical assets to be a successful escort. The really big question is do you have all the empathetic personality traits that allows you to see something attractive in all clients regardless of their possibly physical failings.

 

Good Luck

Or.... Maybe he is new to escorting and is asking friends and other models and people about pricing and hasn't quite figured out everything yet.

 

Wow there is a lot of negativity and judging on here. Disappointing really.

I was simply amused by the $1000 rate. I certainly didn't intend for everyone to pile on and dump on you--sorry about that. Actually, you sound like a pretty cool guy. Happily, the upshot seems to be that you are getting quite a bit of free publicity with your target audience. Best of luck to you. Some of us here just like to tease. Also, welcome to the forum.

 

BTW, $200 to $300 per hour is the normal range for Seattle. By all means, charge what you think you can get. Discounts for multiple hours are common and potentially good for both you and the client, e.g. $300 for one hour, $500 for 2 hours (on the high end--what a certain famous porn actor charges in Vegas) or $250 for one hour, $400 for two hours, $500 for three, etc. As Epigonos pointed out, you may be better off earning $500 for three hours with one client than $750 for an hour each with three clients. Yes, rates do vary regionally. In high rent cities like NY, LA or SF, $300 is still high end, but not outrageously so--in Missoula, MT it would really be over the top.

@TaylorREIGNXXX, welcome to the forum. This place is the best I've found for these topics. I'm relatively new to the client side of this business, but I've done a fair bit of research. Here are some observations, feel free to read or ignore as you wish. I apologize in advance if it's TL;DR.

 

@Epigonos's post above and @Despardo's directly above are great advice to consider for pricing. Personally, in my research in my geographic area (SoCal), I've seen 300 as roughly the top hourly rate with the low end being around 150. The variance seems to be a combination of how established an escort is and the services being offered along with various factors such as age, body type, etc. Pricing will vary by geographic area, but I imagine many large cities have similar pricing.

 

I would strongly encourage you to read some of the advice threads for escorts. @saminseattle's post was a great place to start.

 

Hmm. I have more to share, but that's a fair start. Again, welcome to the forum. Just remember, when you post here, you're presenting yourself publicly to potential clients. It's fine to be fun, sarcastic, or whoever you are, just be aware that all of that will factor into your public brand for some clients and may impact bookings.

 

There are some awesome escorts who are active on the forum, perhaps you may wish to privately message one or two of them for suggestions.

 

Be well.

Yeah that's cause I have only been active for a couple days. Pride is a busy time so no time to escort during that time. Had plenty of responses but only had time for 3 clients before moving. In Dallas now on a layover. ^_^

 

How many reviews do you have? Is that something people compete for on here? I guess I could start asking people to leave one.

Reviews on RM are good. Reviews on Daddy are much better. It is OK to ask politely for a client to write a review, especially if they seem happy with you, but it is important not to be coercive or pushy about it.

OK, so the pricing is Phatasmagorical, but its the fact that the guy chooses to present himself here as a douchebag that is the most alienating for ME....

 

BOOOOO!.......nothing Taylor has posted here indicates he is a douchebag, or is presenting himself as one.....grumpy, grouchy posts like yours are part of the reason this board has a rep for chasing away well-respected escorts who, otherwise, could be a valuable part of the forum.....jesus, man, don't take it so seriously!
