    Default Guys Don't Read!!

    I've noticed that I get the same stupid questions after I post ads for my massage services on backpage and sfredbook. Question #1 - What is your rate? After I ALREADY listed the rate in my ad. Question 2: What is your half hour rate/ do you do half hours? When there is NO mention of half hours in my ad. Then, of course, the always ever present haggler. You ask for a fair price for your services, and they offer you half that. I've decided to change my ads up a bit. I used to write a lot of blurb, stuff about my personality, and fantasy-type writing telling them about myself. Only to realize, they don't read any of it. They just go straight to the phone number and dial. So I've simplified my ads to physical stats, phone number with price right beneath (so unless they are blind, they will see it), links to reviews, location and my website. If they really want to know more, they can look at my site. I'm tired of wasting time writing these elaborate ads only to get the same stupid questions. Because guys don't read, less seems to be more.

    I'm really sick and tired of all the half hour requests. I've set my minimum to 90 minutes hoping that if they haggle me, it will be for 60 minutes which is what I want anyways. Or, at least, I'll chase off the half hour cheap ass free-loaders. These idiots just love to haggle and haggle more. I know a really highly reviewed girl who sets her escort rate at $350, they only want to pay $175 or they only want to pay for a half hour ($175). Ridiculous! But I notice that the ones who set their rates really high get closer to something that they can settle for. No wonder why a lot of escorts are doing two hour minimums figuring that they are going to haggle them down to an hour anyways. I can only imagine what the ones who set their rates really low in the first place get haggled down to.

    Yup its true..keep it short and sweet, they arent reading any of the lovely things you say about yourself. All they are interested in are pics and contact info. For my ads, my intro is about 2 sentences long, first sentence my name and where Im based out of , second sentence my physical stats. I say it in a sexy way, but I keep it short and to the point.

    After that I list my availability hours, in bold letters I list that screenign and references are required, a note to check my website for rates and more info, then I list my email address and website.

    I dont put my rates in my ads, (except on one site that requires it) because if I change my rates, I dont want old rates swimming round the internet..Id be mad as hell if some guy found one of my old $200/hr ads and wanted to book me for that.

    I think cause I keep it to the point, stress screening and refs, and come off no nonsense, my hagglers try to at least be slick about it "Your a bit out of my price range, do you have any ideas?" I just act upbeat and daft "Oh absolutely! I offer a discount for multi-hours! Hope that helps!!!!! lol Im mean.

    I dont settle for anything, or haggle with anyone though, My rates are my rates...and I think that giving into that is what would encourage guys to try it. If no one settled for a lower rate, fewer guys woudl know they can ask and get away with it. And in truth, they are probably just testing you anyway. I know guys who full well can afford it who always ask for a discount anyway...just to see if the girl will drop her price for him, but will pay full price for a girl whose rates are twice as much.

    Guess which one they have a better time with and end up repeating with? Not the one that they got for a cheaper price....that was more like conquering a deal, nah..they like the one who sticks to her guns and firm...shes not so desperate she will settle for less than she feels shes worth, guys find that sexy (well, except the ones who are cheap and cant afford her ....lol)

    Oh and not calling anyone who drops their rates for guys desperate, but something to keep in mind, when you do that it does send that message to a guy, that you need the money so bad that you are willing to take less. Not a good thing to send out there. Guys *will* pay your rate..dont teach them haggling is okay by settling for less...it doesnt help you, and it doesnt help the next lady either cause he will consider booking an escort like shopping in Mexico, its all up for barter. Blah!

    Lord...just today I had a guy, who didnt even have references, send me an ultimatum

    "Im going to wait for your reply, if you dont get back to me in 5m Im going to head home"

    I was like...wait what? When exactly are you hoping to see me? He says...well I was thinking now.

    I agree! I had guys call and say they couldn't afford a rate so I would say sorry but won't work. And 3 out of 5 chance they'll call back and miraculously came up with the remainder amount of my fee. Lol I stand my ground because you build a reputation for being classy and no nonsense gal. And I'm not low balling myself anymore I use to be a "100 special" girl until I posted on Alaska! A provided was so frustrated with my low balling rates she emailed me to tell me how I was messing it up for myself and the other ladies in the city. I could charge triple the price and THEY WILL PAY!

    Ugggh agree with everything here and what kills me is the dumbasses (and/or cheapasses) who think that my body rub rate (which I posted in the BODY RUB section) is supposed to include GFE!! Or they'll show up and think that I'll find them "just so sexy" that I'll just have to do do more than a body rub without increasing the price. Ummm, yeah right dude.

    After hearing much of the same that my rates being a bit higher than others, I decided to give them my new standard, de facto line: "why don't you save up for a little while so that you can afford it, I mean, after all, I'm worth it". Then I would proceed to rub it in. "I mean, what would you rather have, the cheap, tacky shoes (or whatever), or the really nice, sexy, comfortable, handmade Italian leather ones?" I could go on and on about this.

    You just get to a point where you're so sick and tired of these losers calling/emailing for a discount that you have to give it right back to them. And, personally, I wouldn't want them anyway.

    Oh I stay nice about it. My standard line when a guy tries to haggle is "Awe ,Im sorry things couldnt work out for us, but there are many ladies in all prices ranges and Im sure of it you will find a great lady in your budget. All the best!"

    That tends to catch them off guard, cause they expect either someone who will accept, or someone who will tell them off or be annoyed. But they never are prepared for my reply, and its so courteous they cant really come back being nasty. Most times they just reply thanks, sometimes they back track with "on no no, I want to see you sorrry for the confusion!" and then book with no more mention of my rate.

    Usually guys that haggle wouldn't be good clients, but sometimes guys haggle because that's what they do in the business world too, they want to feel like they are getting a good deal. So depending on the type of haggling, some is okay and you can still tell they are respectful, but I would say most is not.

    I have found that even when I keep my ads short and simple with the bare min. of price, number, stats #, pics. they STILL don't read my price, or stats... sometimes they don't even look at the picture?!

    Also the hagglers drive me nuts. I decided not to take any hagglers anymore, because I took a couple when I first started doing this and now they except that rate everytime regardless of me saying "it was a one time special."

    Keep in mind that there may be some time between when a guy does his 'research' and calls or emails, hence may not clearly remember which ad was yours... Just give them the benefit of the doubt, 'refresh his memory', many times guys are just calling to get a feel for your personality. Coming across as business like but fun usually wins.

    I am also so frustrated with the idiots and cheap-asses on b.p.! Its true though, once you set them straight- alot of them will act differently and actually get turned on by it too. LOL. I even HAD A Millionaire who actually was stupid enough to try to haggle for 20 dollars lower. He had the nerve to say that's all he had. (After I had been to his mansion several times) I hung up on him and turned my car around. (I was in the way to the appointment.) SO He knew I was pissed and he called right back. I didn't pick up and he left a voice-mail saying that he was "just joking" and that he was actually going to give me an extra 70 bucks. Its a game to them. They are like little kids and just pushing your buttons and seeing what they can get away with. Show these assholes no mercy and they will straighten up!!
