How do you decide on your rates?

[Chessmen]

I haven't seen any SPs that charge under $100, except massage providers. It generally ranges from $120 to over 200 for half an hour. I sense that newer, younger escorts charge less and then gradually increase the rates when they become more comfortable. The highest any regular customer would consider is probably under $500 an hour but of course politicians and other celebrities wouldn't mind $10,000 plus rates.
How did you determine your half hour, hourly rates?

depends on where we are on the Wiccan calendar but I usually end up using a three step method, where I combine intuition, numerology, and then consult my psychic to see if the stars are in alignment with the rates I intend to charge....

.............wait, isn't that how we all decide our rates?

I don't provide half hours as I don't really find that it's worth messing with my school schedule for a 30 minute engagement. I have 5 classes and labs to attend to, as well as lots of readings.

I only see one (maybe two) clients a day, so I structure my rates to fit my financial budget (savings, fun money, etc). I also find that when I was charging $200 an hour I was attracting more gentlemen who didn't really fit my ideal client profile (less than mannered, a little too rough around the edges). I also accept that with my higher rates I am also expected to provide a more elite level of service. I don't believe that I am 'allowed' to have a poor or moody day with a gentleman, I would prefer to reschedule so as to be at my best.

In the end I don't think that any rate is unjustified, whether too high or too low as per market value. We sell a unique service which includes a more intimate and personally invasive experience. I wouldn't argue that a lady charging $500 an hour in Victoria/Vancouver is selfish or overvaluing, she is completely allowed to put whatever price on her body that she chooses. It also is the same for providers who do charge $150 an hour. Capitalism is a fun thing and as a 'consumer' the wealth of different 'services' that span from $80 to $500 is plentiful.

Dammit! I lost my Wiccan calendar. Now, I have no idea when I'm supposed to try to contact you!

I am still waiting for a Service Provider to come up with a discount for mutual pleasure rate. Sometimes I really work hard at trying to give rather than concentrating mostly on the receiving part. Of course I have to agree that sometimes the receiving part is super good, but don't blame me for trying to get a better rate ! My Wiccan calendar is telling me to wait until March 2014 but my scrotum is saying WTF you want a blue christmas for - go ahead an book a lady!

I hope so. Although it kind of misses the mark if he is trying to be funny.

However if he's being serious, then it's hilarious.

Either way, that didn't turn out so well.

Escorts, what is your incall location like? for clients, what's the best incall location you've ever been to? A Yaletown apartment, studio or residential house in the suburbs? I see a lot of ads saying luxury condos but I know that most ladies don't actually live there. I expect most to be tidy, maybe sparsely furnished and dimly lit to set the mood.

I looked through the Foxden website which says it is a sensual massage place. The pictures show a nice place with beds. Of course other extras exist but I've never heard anyone refer to it as a brothel (which I read are legal in Ontario). I actually told a stripper acquaintance who worked at the Number 5 Orange about it. 'Is it like a strip club?" She asked me. I said not really but it's more like a place for men to unwind and relax with beautiful women. "I'm willing to get naughty as long as sex isn't involved". A couple of weeks later she messaged me saying she applied and became a new Fox! Apparently during the interview she wanted to know if there was sex and the manager said she couldn't legally talk about it and she was like "right..."
I only texted her a few times afterwards but she said how she wasn't allowed to discuss these things with me anymore. I considered her a friend and have mixed feelings about it if I influenced her to transition from a stripper to escort. We lost contact but I've thought about going to the Foxden for a session with her to have some fun and see how she is doing.

I noticed Metrotown has the highest concentration of SPs, other from downtown. Not enough attention is given to suburbs and areas without lots of condos. Why is that?

I haven't seen any SPs that charge under $100, except massage providers. It generally ranges from $120 to over 200 for half an hour. I sense that newer, younger escorts charge less and then gradually increase the rates when they become more comfortable.

Where do you get these crazy questions? Are you sure you are old enough to be on this board?

I think Miss Peyton makes a good point,
even for the men in this,

I mean I could find cheaper escorts or, book less time.
I could most likely get bbbj or greek for less money then I pay for a safe gfe experience.

But its not all about cheaper and more services.

Its about quality its about the over all experience.

And I guess to each there own, I mean everyone has the right to decide what they like or need.
Or what is money well spent.

That is why people make Timex watches and Rolex watches and everything in between.

oh gawd and i used to have a crush on her

I know for me there are times I want in and out fast, hard, and dirty and times I want a nice massage leading to a more intimate time together, and almost never want to get to know anyone in this hobby. And when I connect mutually with someone then anything can happen. That seems to happen about as frequently as in my non-hobby life. The beauty of this hobby for me is instant gratification and no lingering feelings on either side.

It is great to have the variety of services, prices, etc so as each mood washes over me I can select the provider that best suits what I want at that time. And strangely, I haven't found that paying more results in a better service. I have felt fabulous after the deed that cost $80 and $500 and burned after both rates too. Inimate connection does it no matter what the price. And talking on the phone usually informs how well things will go. I stay away from places where I cannot talk directly to the provider after being burned too many times.
