    Skull Stupid Jerk Rate Rant!!

    ITs not often I get bent out of shape...this will blow over soon enough and all but forgotten soon enough anyway, but can you believe the nerve?!!

    Okay, so today a guy Ive seen before a couple of times calls me wanting to set a date. He asks me to refresh his memory on my rate, to which I say $200 since he gets VIP rate for the board we're on. Hes then like...Whhaaaaaaaaat? Oh no, oh my, Im going to have to think about that. I can see way more girls for $150. To which I very calmly and courteously told him, Ooh alright, well thank you for getting in touch!

    Five minutes later he calls me back...change of heart? No.

    He calls back to tell me that my rate just isnt worth it, and that he can see anyone he wants for $150 or less an hour, and lots of girls that live as far away as me or even farther do it. That hed love to be a regular, but not at my rates..and if I consider lowering my rates then he would consider seeing me . WTF?

    Mind you, I can assure you, my title is not "Salvation Army - GFE Companion" or "AARP Courtesan" or "Social Security Benefit Mistress" ..he'd got it all twisted!

    I then let him know..still courteous and calm, that if he's going to flat out tell me Im not worth it, then its better we dont make any considerations to see each other again, no matter what my rate is.

    I mean, how insulting is that...to call me back *just* to say Im not worth my $200 *discounted VIP!!* rate...thats barely over Backpage rates. AND he lives an hour away...so Im going to hike my happy ass on a 2 hour drive for a one hour date to make an average of $50/hr?

    At that rate, I may as well walk over to 8th street and jump in the next car that slows down to tell me Im cute...fuck his ass.

    If he can see anyone he wants for that, then it's interesting that he called YOU and then called back yet again.

    Same thing happens to me camming. They tell me how they can see everything they want for free or less money elsewhere - if so why are they hanging out in my room?

    Such idiots.

    Yup exactly...like why even bother to call me in the first place then.

    On this forum, all of us post our ads int he same place, its required we clearly state what our rates are. If his budget is tight..call someone else!! Dont call me just to insult me. Moron! He only makes himself look rediculous...that he cant even afford a *medium-low range* priced escort at her *discounted* rate.

    Theres a girl on there offering $100/hr...wtf isnt he calling her?? *ugh!*

    I hate this shit and I've been getting it a lot lately. Well, anyone who will fuck anyone isn't worth it to me anyway. I'm hoping that all the men who actually have money come back out of hiding. It's been so lame lately.

    I can relate when it comes to camming guys try to bully over how much charge and then have the nerve to say such and such person charge lesser blah,blah,blah. I always tell them if they don't pay rates that I know worth to get someone else will pay it and they don't complain to me about charge for cam shows. That's just to remind them they can easily be replace with someone else that's more respectful.

    He actually thought that by talking sh*t that would convince you to lower your rates? He must be crazy! The only way I would see a female doing that is if she were desperate or had low self esteem. Which in that case her rates would be lower anyway. Sharpie you're something like a sophisticated first class hottie! His a** is lucky you even considered talking to him. Fu*king loser!

    I hate being bargained with. At the club guys will say "why won't you do 2 dances for 20 dollars? Why won't you do a VIP for 70 dollars?"... Dipshit cuz these are the prices and I'm not budging for a broke loser. There are plenty of people who will pay the price without flinching and without making any derogatory remark, AND they'll tip. My body isn't a flea market.... stop trying to haggle!

    Wow what a cheek. Never have I gone to the checkout at the supermarket and said 'can I have a discount please cos of xyz' You have to wonder why he thinks you would lower your rate just for *him* since he 'asked' so nicely.

    Wow, what a jerk! I would have said "I'm a goddess/princess. You're lucky I even considered a date with you" and hung up. It's too bad you don't live in Chicago. Guys will pay bank here just for a date.

    I do want to come to Chicago lol Actually, theres a lot of cities in my to do list right now!!!

    Funny thing is...Im not going to lie...I *am* desperate...I have less than half my rent which is now overdue!!! BUT! Im not $150/hr desperate....Im post ads every hour on the hour, be on the phone and not let any go to voicemail, reply to emails in 5m or less and havnt slept in two days desperate... and its paid off. I have a 2hr date tonight and another in the morning. By afternoon, Ill be in my landlady's office with a smile and my dignity intact.

    That guy really has lost his mind...oh, and he "wished me well" saying snidely "good luck trying to get anyone to see you" Twit.

    He's a piece of shit and it's unfortunate that you had to deal with his bullshit.

    It sounds like you've been doing pretty well staying on top of your ad responses and bookings, but I have to ask...

    Whyyy do you give a discount for members of a board???

    Discounts/specials (esp for hooker board members) tend to attract hagglers and those who think they're "special" because they get on the internet and talk about screwing hookers (lmao).

    If you're already giving a discount off the top for no reason, of course they're going to think you can be talked into taking even less. Afterall, you already are giving a discount without them even having to do anything. To them, you're saying "I wish I could get $250, but I'll take $200." By doing that, you've opened the negotiating yourself. It also gives the impression to these men that you can't fill your schedule at $250 (so maybe you're desperate?) The haggling begins...

    Do away with discounts & specials and you will attract better clients, instead of those looking for the best "deal" or those trying to "get the most for the least amount of money".

    If you're not getting enough appointments at $250, try lowering your rate to $225 or $200, but don't give any specials or discounts. I know it can be an ego hit, but 5 appts @ $200 = $1k. 3 appts @ $250 = $750. 0 appts @ any rate = $0.

    I hope this helps.

    Yup, get this camming too. I tell them they are free to find someone cheaper. When they whine that they really want to see me but I'm too expensive I explain that the reason they want to see me so badly is because they can obviously tell how great the experience would be. If they want me because they know it will be a luxury experience why the fuck are they insulting me by trying to demand bargain basement prices?!?

    Cause seriously people if we are out of their league that's their fucking problem. They need to step up their game to be able to afford us not try to drag us down to their skanky skeezy broke ass level. We are NOT the salvation army of sex. We're Tiffany's bitch! We're Harry Winston! And if you can't afford what we're selling you're free to stare and drool over how sparkly we are for a few minutes, but then you need to get the FUCK out our store so that we can deal with paying customers. Stop wasting our damn time!

    Yeah, on that board I have to give a discount to VIP as part of the advertising agreement, but you have to list and make it clear both your rate for regular members, and your VIP rate so that there is not room for discussion/haggling.

    I dont want to lower my standard rate any lower than $250 though...that seems to be the "magic cut off" for guys who want to stay mid range and not venture into ladies with rates in low range. Just like with cam, theres a huge difference between a guy who can and will pay more, and the guy who is on a budget.

    Also, when I first joined the board. I got the advice to go with a lower rate...and the lower my rate, the more I opened myself up to haggling..I guess they figured since my rate was so low, I would be happy with getting anything at all..I dont know! I only stayed at that rate for one week and havnt looked back, but for sure...since I bumped it up they take it as it is...except this stoopit guy who I guess cant afford it now and trying to make me lower my rate for him.

    Ive also seen guys boast about how they get girls who are $200 to meet with them for $125 - $150....and that a *smart businesswoman* will not pass up on the money. They are so deluded...but I know just trying to influence newer girls who really have no idea or clue how to handle rates or these guys. Id say for every one guy talking shit and trying to get low rates, there are at least 10 who never post on the boards at all..and just use it as a way to find local ladies.

    Most of my dates have been UTR guys that never say anything or haggle or stoopid about rates/services.

    This has happened to me before and I ignore them. If they can't afford you then they can't afford you. People don't go to Macys and try to talk them down so why try with us? That guy is such a loser trying to make you feel like you are not worth it. Obviously you are worth it plus more being that he is trying to get a date with you!

    Looking at the local girls on Backpage, I always felt that if my rate went too high I wouldn't get calls. An industry mentor of mine told me to know my self worth and stop selling myself short. I raised my rate...and even though I'm not super busy, I see more quality over quantity. The rate change has definitely brought me a better clientele. I haven't had anyone try to negotiate since. Hell I've even had clients tell me that I should still charge more!

    My point is that for every client that can't afford you, haggles you and tries to make you feel bad about charging "too much" , there is another that WILL pay more for you, tip you, bring you a gift and treat you like the goddess that you are : )

    Haggling is something that happens in all consulting businesses. This happens because the customer is dealing with service provider directly and not a cust svc rep for a large corporation.

    The people who haggle with sex workers do it because it works. You may not bite the bait but someone else will.

    I get requests for discounts all the time, but I explain to them that I have overhead. Costs for advertising, clothing, supplies, incall rental, snack/refreshments, transportation, accountant, lawyer retainer, web design, photo shoots, gifts for clients etc etc etc all must be accounted for.

    Many clients don't realize there's much more to this biz than showing up for work.
    It's not about what you do for a living, it's about who you want to be.
