Turn off or the nature of the business?

I can't agree enough with you! To get a taste and for fun contact Brody

His 1 hour rate is 800. For fun I told him that 800 is very low and that others take 1000-1200 per hour. He should ask for that amount! Lol

Now I've heard everything.

But really, I don't haggle either. If the rate is too high, I just move on.

I was recently quoted by $400 by an average looking provider in a city where that will never fly. I simply told him that would be high even for NY and politely moved on. I’ve found that $500 for a two-hour session works 90% of the time, with absolutely no erosion of service. That said, negotiating doesn’t make me uncomfortable, though I understand th pints offered here.

he looks absolutely gorgeous, but 800 is ridiculous-if he can get it then good for him!

I reached out to an escort here in NYC profile looks great and decent reviews (didn't look here for reviews or comments) and got down to basics with him. When I inquired about his rate it was $400 for the hour in call. I said that was high for me and he went down to $350 told him highest I go is $300 but don't like to haggle..He came and said ok just confirm the date & time. I'm a great negotiator.... or he will take what he can get? At first I thought I should take advantage but then I didn't like the concept that his rate was so easily swayed..Am I wrong? Thanks guys

If you knew you weren't going to hire him at his stated $400 rate, what was your reason to continue the discussion by telling him what your limit was? You can say you weren't trying to haggle, but it certainly sounds like you were.

[marylander1940]

If I got an escort to reduce his hourly rate and we hooked up, I feel our time together would be tainted due to the haggling over price. I would feel that he was not giving 100% out of resentment. I've had escorts lower their initially requested rate by over $100.00 just by my commenting that their rate was rather high. To me, that makes for a bad impression by the escort and I would pass on hiring him.

 

Is like having to show discount coupon before ordering in a restaurant....

I always wait to the last minute to arrange. (for the same reason I wait till the last hour to hit the 9th Ave Street Fair. When it's you or NOTHING you'd be surprised at the deals you get

My reaction was fair and initially said the rate was too high. He went down to 350. If your contention is i was haggling over his rate by stating my limit was 300 so I guess your correct. However his rate really isn't 400 now is it?

[MiamiLooker]

His rate was what he told you, $400, no different than if he'd listed this in an ad. What was the point in telling him his rate was too high? You could have just said "no thank you" and moved on. Instead, you chose to continue to discuss his rate. He only changed his rate once you started to haggle it down.

You are wrong if his rate was posted in his ad I would have moved on. His rate is bullshit. Not arguing what he thinks he's worth but he's price gouging.

[rvwnsd]

I don't feel the OP intended to haggle. He stated that $400 was too high for him and the escort lowered his rate to $350. To me, stating "the most I pay is $300" is not haggling. It might not be what I'd say, but it is easy for me to make that declaration when not thrust into the situation.

 

That said, the escort's offer to lower his rate not once but twice is not a red flag to me. As others have pointed out it seems like he is unsure what to charge, set his rate too high and knows it, and is trying to save the potential client from walking away. Prior to the removal of rates his ad would probably have stated "ask me."

and here's my "haggling" story.....

 

several years ago, I contacted over-the-hill adult actor Chad Connors for a meeting during one of his periodic escorting periods then......very friendly communication and I got to the point of asking his rate for my customary two/three hours and he quoted a high "I'm a famous porn star"-type number......and, oh, by the way, "my hand and wrist are in a hard cast right now"........not usually a haggler, but I used that little bit of info to get him to lower his rate into more normal territory....then generously tipped him because the meeting went entirely fine...

 

gee, seems I now have to post this Monty Python scene every few months

Plus, when purchasing mark-downs, there's always the possibility it's an irregular.

TRUTH!

I stumbled on this earlier today:

in the video, the escort (seems to be legal in England) gets a call and the client isn't prepared to pay his rate. The escort mentions that if he doesn't have business later that evening, he'll contact that client back with a lower offer.

 

This makes sense to me, from a business perspective. Since the escort had the idea it was just the amount, if nothing else is available, take less money and get the money in rather than having an income-less night. In that section of the report, it's a decent conversation, and inquiry as to price, the client not being willing to spend it and the two men ending there. The escort has a plan to salvage some income if he doesn't get other business. Sensible. The same would happen in other businesses. If your price is too high, you need to adjust it.

 

I thought I'd post this video here as it directly related to the conversation.

I tell them their rate is to high as well. I do not do it to haggle but to make him aware.

I would reconsider if an escort put it in that frame. My regulars are the greatest and provide me great multihour rates. I always tell them if they get a client at our time I am always flexible. I would not want them to loose business when I am a surething.

I never haggle and will go with the rate they ask for. And I’m generous if the connection is good. If the initial rate is too high, particularly for the first encounter when I don’t have full confidence the meeting will be good, I just say thanks and move on. I think it’s important to remember that escorts are human beings who have lives and problems just like the rest of us. They give us their bodies and a little bit of themselves so we can relax, blow some steam off and enjoy a fantasy. That can be a lot to give for some people. I think it’s always important to approach these encounters with respect and empathy, even if some escorts do not do the same for us. I look at this a lot differently than buying a widget that has no human feelings.

I couldn’t agree with you more. And you will find me railing against comments on this forum such as referring to our gentlemen as “meat“, etc.

 

Discussing a rate does not demean the person. Your post might suggest you’re uncomfortable with that kind of discussion? But it is not an automatic sign of disrespect to the escort

he looks absolutely gorgeous, but 800 is ridiculous-if he can get it then good for him!

Yes gorgeous but not for 800 per hour! After you dim the light all guys look alike!

I agree with you whole heartedly! Respecting them is sure thing.

[Scjim992]

I just offer my approach. I don’t haggle with what someone believes is their worth, but will walk away if it doesn’t make sense for me.
