Hagglers?

[jjkrkwood]

I have often said that when you haggle on such a personal event, you're asking to be disappointed.

 

Similarly, when I contact an escort and ask what the rate for his time is.. and he responds with "What do you want to do?" it's a red flag to me and I end the inquiry. I wish everyone would reply with "$XXX per hour".

 

Well Mr Country, you know it ALL depends on what color hanky you pick off his Menu.....

I only engage with escorts who provide a prix fixe menu. Ala Carte is ok for a restaurant but not room service.

Maybe you can explain this to me because I have always been confused by this, if your contacting an escort you should know the rate its on their ad so why would you ask what it is? I have many people ask what my rate is have always wondered why.

Probably because things are not always as they appear. The rate may have changed and not have been updated in the ad. Its a question from a guy looking to pay $300 an hour for your time. What's the big fucking deal ?

 

And as well have all come to know, pics posted are often fake, so there is really no reason to take anything else at face value... Especially if its a first-time contact.

When I go to the grocery store and I see that a chicken breast is $4.99 a LB I assume its 4.99. Would you go to a grocery store that had different prices marked? Why would you go to an escort that changes their prices.

 

if you doubt the quality of the escort your interested ask on the forum

There are a few reasons that I do this:

1. The ad says "Ask" for the rate.

2. I prefer a confirmation of the rate before the meet happens so that there are no surprises and I am prepared and the escort gets what he is expecting. I have had it happen that there was a confusion on the rate where the escort asked for $100 more than his "advertised" rate. When I pointed out that his ad said $XXX, he was very embarrassed because he had forgotten to update that particular ad. It wasn't a big deal, he honored the advertised rate, but it made me uncomfortable..

A session with an escort and going to the grocery store are two COMPLETELY different things to me. I know it's basically buying meat to some, but not me.

I couldn't agree more. Whether there is a posted rate or not I ask because I never book for an hour, usually 2. I do at times get the "what would you pay" and I just say no give a rate if it works yes if not I will say No Thank You and never contact again. I have had some ask again after I say no that rate does not work for me and offer a less rate. Then after meeting the person it turns out rotten 100% of the time because the gentlemen feels he is giving something away for nothing. I had a gentlemen remind 3 times throughout 2-1/2 hrs, "you know I am giving you a really good rate." So No to negotiated rates even if the gentlemen is offering. I never contact a gentleman if the rate does not work for me. I am not going to a rummage sale, I am looking for professional services and almost always going in with that approach works for me. I live in an area where there is 4 advertised gentlemen, of which only 1 appealed to me an hired him. So options are limited. Getting to an area where I can hire or bring someone in is always going to carry a cost. I keep everything to one offer and done, yes or no and I never go back and ask for something later on.

We are NOT dealing with onsite product. We are dealing with people on the INTERNET. All sorts of shit happens. Noone's doubting his quality, just asking a simple, fucking question. Its your prerogative not to answer the question, but is it worth risking losing a possible engagement ? Perhaps you are so heavily booked you dont care. My take on this is if you cant answer a question, what else CANT you do, and you really aren't worth my time. I would move on without hesitation.

CBWNY, I just wanted to comment on your new avatar.... You Never looked lovelier. I bet you were just jealous of my springtime post pic today ?

I'm guilty of that, Chris. I do it intentionally bc I was burned twice early in my hiring career by escorts who suddenly changed their rate on me at point of sale. I try to soften it by saying "and just to confirm, your rate is X?" It is probably annoying as hell for top notch guys, but I just never want to be caught off guard again. Happy to consider better alternatives.

Well EVERY job has a downside Sir..... Most of us just deal with it, and if we don't like it, we change jobs.... But dealing with it doesn't mean having an attitude towards those you deal WITH ....

Right on brother. I totally feel you on dealing with it. Hagglers go largely ignored. Operation: dealt with. IMHO I think conversations like this are just a bit juvenile, but maybe that's just me.

Smart man. And I respect the person "who deals with it" rather than "bitches about it". Happy Easter....

I've said countless times I don't expect ANY escort to lower his price if he doesn't want to. All I said is that the escort should be open to the question, and answer it respectfully, whatever that answer is... I never said you needed to entertain the possibility of a cheaper price, so not sure why you are so defensive ? I don't feel its a juvenile conversation at all. I too am a seasoned professional in MY field, but that doesn't mean I disengage with people who want to discuss my work or performance. If you are being PAID for a service, than these are things that need to be discussed. I am not exactly sure WHY you feel you are above it, but no need to answer that. I already have my READ on you. Having a bad attitude is not a "good look".. You may have loads of clients, but there are tons of guys coming up behind you that may be more amenable. Repeat business will only take you so far for so long.

 

I see that you have deleted your post that I was responding to here. So my post actually is coming off as bitchy. If you have had a change of heart regarding what you said, I sincerely apologize for the tone of my reply, but not for its contents, which I stand by in generality.
