Negotiating

[Rohit]

Being rather young and naive I made this mistake when I first saw an escort. The experience was not pleasant at all- he kissed me but it was just planting his lips on me - I felt suffocated and like I could not breathe and he would not pull away... it was all over in a few minutes and really put me off ever hiring again. I was not out at the time, and was a full time student, and scared so thought this was the best option for me. If I choose to see someone again I will never try and talk the price down. All my own fault really just wish I had waited a few years and realised that I could meet someone and be happy.

Is there a question or ???

 

Not sure how a price negotiation relates to one's kissing style. Are you saying that an advertiser purposely tried to suffocate you? Because the way you describe it does not make sense.

 

I'm not really sure- just wanted to outline my experience. Think I was just unlucky, but full of regret now, and can't seem to put it to bed

Reading between the lines, it sounds like Rohit had haggled the price down, and had an unpleasant experience that he attributes to that haggling.

Welcome to the forums, @Rohit.

 

Sorry you had a bad experience, but don't let one bad experience stop you--there's a lot of great guys out there!

Heck I have paid top dollar for what one may classify as an okay but not stellar experience and have gotten bargains for 4th of July type explosive experiences! I have a feeling that negotiating the price had nothing to do with what transpired. After all, the guy accepted the deal. We have all had disappointments. Don't let that deter you from moving onwards and upwards! As noted just above there are lots of great guys out there and some are even great bargains as well!

That's why negotiating in risky and usually not a good idea.... There are exceptions but they are rare in my opinion and therefore should be handled with caution.

I was reading an article on Trader Joe's the other day. They never markdown their merchandise or put anything on sale. Their mantra is that they have quality items and they price them fairly so the customers are getting value for their money. I am sure they raise their prices from time to time but I rarely notice because I am convinced that whatever I pay, I and getting my moneys worth. The experience is unique and satisfying so as a customer I always walk out with a smile on my face. I think some escorts could benefit from that model. Set your prices fairly and competitively in the market for the services you are providing. If you find you are too busy, you can inch up your prices until you find equilibrium between the time you allocate to escorting and the number of customers you serve. Starting high with the expectation that potential customers will negotiate you down is a business model that is destined to fail in my opinion.

Ahhh....the confusions of youth!

 

I don't miss it one fucking bit!

My read is more that the regret was hiring in the first place as opposed to meeting someone that he made a real connection with first before getting intimate with him. If that is the case, if you decide to try the hiring route again, you may want to opt for what we call the BFE or boy friend experience. In this scenario, you would look to hire an escort who specializes in this area for an evening or overnight, not an hour. You would start by going out to dinner together, maybe dancing or a show or a some other fun activity of your choosing after where you get the chance to get to know your companion first... talking, laughing, interacting, having fun. After this relaxing evening together, then you head back to the bedroom, and have your intimate time in a much more relaxed and unforced, comfortable way. This way, you get to make that connection before you just have forced and rushed intimacy... if that is something that is important to you.

 

p.s. I could have misread the whole thing!

 

In any case, good luck!

As an addendum to my above post I never haggle over the price. I know what I know what I want and if the price seems reasonable for what I hope to get out of the hire I go for it.

 

Of course the fact that I was in my own business and did not appreciate it when people tried to negotiate prices certainly helped form my perspective. Still, on the occasions when I did agree to a lower price (and being a compassionate person I was the one who often offered a lower price point if I was familiar with the persons circumstances) I never gave less than my all.

haggle at your own risk. don't be surprised when you get a 1/2 assed session either
