ShortCutie7 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I find it very interesting that a lot of you are saying that you wouldn’t pay $300 or more for an hour-long session. I reached out to 16 escorts in the last few days and $300 was the LOWEST amount I was quoted (albeit the most common rate). Note that these are all in calls in NYC. Since I’m a bit of a numbers geek, here is my analysis of the numbers: Minimum: 300 Maximum: 500 Mode: 300 Median: 345 Mean: 362 There really does not seem to be a rhyme or reason as to which escort charges which rate (I couldn’t find any relationship with body type, age, ethnicity, etc). Out of the 16, there are 4 that I am most likely to meet, mostly based on their location and communicativeness (they’re obviously all hot as hell). Their rates in ascending order are 300, 350, 350, and 400. + DrownedBoy and + Vegas_Millennial 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I did was ask for their incall rate and location, which would determine whether I would continue the conversation. I reached out to so many because I did not expect the number of responses I received (and received the majority of responses after I had already sent most of the messages).

ShortCutie7 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 19 minutes ago, Coolwave35 said: How many did you hire? I am brand new to this and have never hired anyone. I intend on hiring the four I noted being “most likely to meet” in the next few months, and then eventually hiring most of the others further down the line. I have a very rigid schedule and their precise location plays a huge factor in if/when I’d be able to see them, which I had to ask them in order to find out… are there unspoken rules I don’t know about regarding timing of reaching out to providers? I now have the information I need to schedule something when I have the opportunity to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I am confused as to the issue with reaching out to guys to find out basic info that is not listed on their profile but is important to whether or not I can hire them. .. I respond to potential client info requests as part of my job all the time and only end up seeing a tiny fraction of those who reach out, often months later. ETA: and my responses to work inquiries take a HELLUVA lot more time to write than “$300 for an hour, I host near Columbus Circle”.

First of all, this reply is not about @ShortCutie7 who simply conducted a poll on this subject! We had a regular poster who would start a thread posting links to 20 guys in NYC trying to figure it out who to hire.... a month later would do exactly the same and NEVER hire any of them. There's a lot of window shopping in this site!

Jarrod_Uncut Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) One thing I wish many clients would understand: don’t try to come around months later expecting someone to be charging to same price that you FLAKED OUT on in the past. For example, there’s imbecile who has the audacity to bring up a previous conversation that he never bothered to show up for: That is why I’m moving my rates up. The less I have to deal with these cheapskate imbeciles who think $150 and $200 is a universal rate, the better. Only consistent regulars deserve discounts! And I’m not talking about some random who only comes around once or twice a year and think he’s a deserving of a discount. If you local, you need to be meeting every couple weeks or at least once a month.

jmichaeliii Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I never try to negotiate rates with a provider. Either I am OK with what they charge or I don't try and hire them. It's a free market and if you can get a certain rate, go for it. If there is someone I really have my eye on, I sometimes pay more than I am normally willing... but that is a special treat, not a regular occurrence. There are 3 guys I have seen regularly for close to a year, and to this point they have not increased rates for me. Not sure if that is because I hire them regularly and tip well or that they just did not go up. peter831, Beancounter and SouthOfTheBorder 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that is because I hire them regularly and tip well or that they just did not go up. At this point, I feel 250 is the least I’m willing to do calls for anymore. Anything less is not worth it to me, and even when some do get it for less than that price, they don’t meet often enough to justify it. Some do it for a quick fix, and then don’t reappear for another year down the line. I’m trying hard not to just say fuck it: everything is $500 minimum. Won’t make a difference if it’s massage or full on f-ing: time is time regardless. I get tired of having constantly be gaslit and haggled over prices. I know my worth. I know what I need to maintain. $200 is not going to maintain and traveling provider who has ads, hotels, living expenses, and the whole gamut. That’s just money to pay 1 bill and maybe go grocery shopping. And I have to be seeing more than 1 of those a day, to turn a profit. Yet then some want to bring up “are you clean/disease free?” When it comes time for me to pay my dues, I don’t have time be sitting around arguing over the difference between $150-$200-$250 🤷🏾♂️ Edited February 7 by Jarrod_Uncut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Suraci Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Nothing wrong with asking for info not listed on the ads, even from a dozen providers at once. As long as there’s not a lot of back and forth wanting free random conversations or sexting behavior, or “negotiating” behavior, I have no problem responding to inquiries. It means someone is considering hiring me and I want that. Be direct, ask for specific things and you’re good. Maybe you hire me tomorrow, maybe you hire me next year. Maybe never. That’s fine.

If in my city, then 3-4 days advance max. Providers are inundated with inquiries where there is zero chance it happens. Dont be one of those people.

A few days or a week is perfectly sufficient. Same day / same night…take your chances.

Reminds me of a time I cash app requested a client for $1,000 after his several-th time contacting for a booking and not following thru. He’s like, “did you send me a request for $1,000?” Yes I did… for at least 4-5 requests ghosted. He laughed and blocked me. Good riddance, job accomplished. Some of these guys deserve to be charged $1,000. The level of impatience some of them have is sickening. Yet, when I need an answer they wait days, months to return a message.
