Would you guys like to see more providers offer half-hour appointments as oppose to the usual one hour minimum?

For the providers, why don't more of you ladies offer half-hour appointments?

Those are nice in between Church and picking up the kids at Sunday School.

I've never asked a lady for a one hour appointment. I don't think that even an hour is enough time, so a half hour is out of the question for me. I've always asked for two or three hour dates. My preference is a nice full evening dinner date, but time and budget don't always allow for that.

I know money can be tight but that's kind of gross. Even 60 minutes is usually not enough. I'll be interested to see if there are other responses. I definitely don't see the TER community of providers engaged in this sort of activity.

I prefer 90 minutes over an hour for initial visit. Two hours (or more) for a repeat.

I know time is limited.. BUT....
IMHO anything less than an hour !ON A FIRST DATE! runs into the 'street walker' realm - IMHO now.. Don't bite me please...

Now after we have met and there is chemistry between us a half-hour quickie is fine..

I am not into 'blow - pops' not that kind of girl.. Been there done that in the early stages of this field and found it lacking in all regards..  

To answer your first question - doesn't matter to me since I don't look for 1/2 hour sessions.

As to your second question I have an idea about it and may be way off but I will give it a shot. Just maybe it might be because when a lady offers 1/2 hour sessions there seems to be an influx of the "wham/bam" type clients. Not all, but most of those clients have the attitude of "I pay you, I fuck you, you shut up and take it". Like I said not all are like that, but that is what I have seen in posts, blogs, and discussions on and around this topic.

I am sure there are providers out there that don't mind that, and might even prefer it. They don't have to "get into it" and can just "take it". They don't have to get into the GFE thing and just offer up FS. Many hobbyists and providers hook up that way and when it works for both involved, more power to it.

I think a lot of the ladies here on TER are more of the GFE "take your time" type providers. That is why you see more of the 1 hour minimums here. Some guys are all for the "lets fuck, then I leave" thing, but personally I like the "lets fuck, then relax and chat for a bit".

b-

Like to have a quality time. Some of my regulars sometimes can only stay a half hour but not one of them has ever ever asked for a reduced rate because THEY did not have the time.

A session should not just mean getting your nut off. If that is all that it is to you then I am sure you can find a provider that YOU are comfortable with who may be willing to do that after you establish yourself as a good guy, repeat client who just may not have a lot of time. It's one thing to want half hours because you're super busy but it's a different matter if you're just cheap.

I don't offer half hour appointments because it takes me just as much effort and time to get ready for a 30 minute appointment as it would an hour or longer.

Except for ladies that offer quick BJ dates during that time of the month.

I'm looking for the GFE experience that you can't get in 30 minutes. Many of the ladies I like see a maximum of 2 guys a day.

There are fixed costs for a lady to offer dates, and it doesn't make sense for just one 1/2 hour date. Even on an out-call basis, there is prep and travel time.

When I was just getting started, I offered half hour appointments during the afternoon. My thinking was that it would be more convenient for those gentlemen who had a very limited amount of time because they were trying to work a visit in during a lunch break.

LOL that plan lasted all of about a week or two. My experience was that in 30 minutes there was no time for any kind of connection, it was just get him in, get down to business, and get him out the door. Highly unenjoyable and unsatisfactory in my opinion. Not only that, but too often the men who asked for half hours, tended to be the bargain shoppers who wanted fillet mignon service on a McDonald's budget. After about the third for fourth guy who tried to stretch a half hour session into a full hour (and in one memorable case almost an hour and a half) with all the bells and whistles, I decided it just wasn't worth it.

I learned something else too after putting an end to my "afternoon special". I got a couple of e-mails from gentlemen who expressed that they were happy to see that I had stopped offering half hours because they felt that women who offer half hour sessions tend to be the same type who will upsell, and use other false practices.

So, that is why I don't do half hours. It attracts the wrong kind of guys, and it gives the wrong impression about me

I would not even consider it. That is only because of my own personal pace.
Although some people in the community will put down a provider for offering half hour appointments, I disagree, and if it works out well for the provider financially, then I say go for it.

I guess guys are different but I can't even imagine a 30 minute session. It sounds sordid. I don't get to hobby a lot. I'm a busy professional trying to maintain a business. When I do find the time for one of you wonderful, sweet, talented ladies, I'm going to absorb every minute. Hell, I can spend close to 30 minutes on DATY alone.

you wanted a hot quickie with your atf and timing etc. worked out?

I've tried 30, 60, longer, and longer definitely wins.  About the only good use of the 30 minute appointment is with the fbsm agencies - its lets you meet the woman, establish yourself as legit and you can judge her and see if the investment of a higher amount is worthwhile.  Beyond that, if time permits, I'd much rather spend 2 hours with an ATF (or longer).

While I have no interest in moving in with most ladies, I can't imagine I'd want to see someone for a 30-minute date.  It takes longer than that to get comfortable with each other and longer sessions (90-120 minutes) are essential to establishing any kind of rapport.  I guess I'm an old-fashioned romantic at heart and not a hounddog, but that's my cross to bear.

GFE,  one hour or longer or I won't bother.  The price is and should be nearly the same.  Poor bargain & miss the best part...

Must be as much work set up for the lady & maybe harder during appointment for less money??

What can you possibly get accomplished in a half hour? I can spend the first 30 minutes at least kissing and warming up. I guess a 30 minute, fully clothed, kissing session would be OK. But I would be so disappointed to see him leave just as I was getting ready to play.

In my opinion, unless youre looking for a cheap, quick fuck, 30 min is barely worth the time.  hell 60 min is barely adequate for a good GFE.  I personally like to go 90-120 min if i can spare the time and cash.

I won't (ok never say never I suppose)see a lady who even publishes a 30 minute rate in her ad. I enjoy feeling a "connection" and I think that a lady who is good at either creating that connection or at least making me feel it, will have plenty of business and won't need to take the 30 minute appointments to pay for a tank of gas that day.   My absolute BEST times have been with women who ask for, or reguire longer than an hour actually.

I can relate to not having an hour, but I don't think that is the ladies concern. I have scheduled an hour with a lady I already knew well and was gone in 40 minute or something like that, but still paid her for the hour since she still had to get ready for me and clean up and all that stuff too....Just seemed like the decent thing to do.

I never booked half hours and would figure that a provider who offered them is probably one step above girls who offer car dates.
What cracks me up are reading reviews from guys complaining about being rushed and then noticing they only booked 30 min.

Honestly, half hour appts. are wham bam thank you maam appts. intended solely for the customers who can't normally afford the lady's time under the guise of well, I'm quick.

I don't offer them and some ladies I know who do offer them find they are usually not what they're cracked up to be. I hear that the majority of these guys end up trying to wrangle the whole hour for the half hour price because they couldn't pop in that amount of time.

Honestly, an hour is almost barely enough time to really get to know someone and have a nice relaxing fun time.

But if you prefer a half hour or a 15 minute session, I suggest you look to the streets for things like car dates as that's what this is reminiscent of... You might as well just bite the bullet and go there if you're looking to go cheap.

to a date means I'm probably just finishing the initial conversational 'get to know you'. (Longer if we really click on research, travel, or dancing.)

1.5 to 2 hours is a minimum first date for me. Why rush when meeting a nice lady? If I'm enjoying a five-star 'meal', each course should be savored.

That providers who offer 1/2 hour appointments as apposed to the 1 hour minimum are likened to streetwalkers in this thread is laughable to me.

So, are you guys telling me that the excellent providers who are consistently rated at 8-10 in looks & performance who offer 1/2 hour appointments @ rates of $200-$350 (I have seen a few PSEs go as high as $400 for 1/2 an hour) are akin to streetwalkers?

You may think it tacky, I call it damn fine marketing and business sense.

Experience tells me that the man who realizes that he has perhaps 1.5 hours to get to and from a midday session and opts to spend $150-$225 for a 1/2 is ultimately no different than the gentleman who typically books @ $250/300 for the hour.  Are men with less time to languish about bullshitting with the formalities "less than" the client who feels obligated to spend 2 hours with a provider who he may or may not have chemistry with during an introductory date?

I am a provider who offers 1/2s from time to time per the market & overhead costs.  If I find that I am traveling, and a market isn't as receptive as I would like for it to be 1/2s are a profitable way to minimize losses, encourage those who may find my ordinary rate costly & keep myself occupied when I would otherwise be sitting in a 4-star hotel, all dressed up and with nothing to do.  I have a flow of income, a guest who is pleased with his good fortune and a guaranteed return guest-he has a provider with a substantial reputation of quality at an inviting rate and he in no way feels the pangs of regret that comes after realizing that you've paid $350 for a glorified blowjob and "stimulating conversation with an intelligent lady."

We all find our comfort places in this business, be it lower volume/higher rates or higher prices for the guarantee of longer, lazier sessions-but I think that its important that everyone realize that there is really no need to "disassociate" or reaffirm how much better we are than others because we charge or pay more-you'd be surprised at who walks in my door for a 1/2 introductory session.
And you may even be surprised to know that a lot of providers who offer them don't increase volume to "offset" the "loss".  If I see one client for a 1/2 at $200, a second client at $300 and end my day...and see one client the next day for 2 hours at $600 to me this is entirely comparable and I hardly feel "one step above girls who offer car dates" as one poster so eloquently stated in this thread.

Just my $.02.

Call girls and street walkers are totally different by nature and breed.

Most of us are NOT on drugs and don't have STD's.
And there are costs to being a call girl like comfortable upscale hotels and gas, unlike a back alley or car.

Most of us, have educations and homes to support with our donations not bad habits.

Most of us, would not see just anyone because of the above issues.  I don't wish to be with some sleezy guy who is on drugs or is foolish enough to be with a street walker.

Maddy would not ever offer a half hour because it is not fun but just plane creepy.

Maddies clients are intelligent enough to know why they chose an upscale provider and are unselfish enough to realise the upfront cost, not to mention risks, we put forth to make things comfortable and sexy for our gentleman friends.

How many hours do you think it takes on a computer just to get one new worth while client?

I offer 1/2 hour appointments but I charge more for the first one to build in a few extra minutes of get to know you time.  I don't have many new guys these days take me up on it but some of my favorite guys I see are last minute 1/2 hour guys because they only have a very small window of oppurtunity to get away.  I would say I have 4 regular 1/2 hour clients and I feel like since I have been seeing them for years that I do have a special rapport with them and like I said a couple of them are my favorites.

Does being open to making a few more of these type guys my regulars make me seem cheap?  I sure as hell hope not.  I much prefer a 90 minute session over anything but a quick romp with an old friend isn't all that bad.  Sometimes there is nothing quite like a hot quickie.

I really don't see what the difference between a gentleman that schedules for an hour and is only capable of one SOG and gets up and leaves afterwards and a guy that knows that's all he can do and his free time is too short to waste yakking away. The second guy has just saved himself a little bit of money and can afford to come see me again much sooner.

To each their own I guess, but half hours aren't always bad if it's due to time contraints or even a lack of funds as long as the guy doesn't try to stretch it out.  Especially for me because I treat my incall as an office and come in every day during set hours so I would rather have a 1/2 hour than nothing if it's one of those days.  It sure beats driving 2+ hours a day for nothing.

I think if you look at most of the responses, you'll find that we are saying that we prefer to spend more time with the ladies we see, nothing more, nothing less. Personally, I don't get to do this as much as I'd like to, so I want to make the most of my opportunities. If it's a question of affordability, I'd rather wait until I can afford a nice long date with a wonderful lady, whether she offers 1/2 hour sessions or not. It's just a matter of preference.

I think that if you were right, if the only expression going on in this thread was that of preference for spending quality time with your chosen provider/client then I would not have made a post in this thread.

Unfortunately, I counted at least 6 responses that said something to the effect of "those providers are gross", "cheap" or akin to streetwalkers.

Again-it was just my .$02 and I wish everyone happy hobbying.

I counted just as many who said something to the effect of "If that's what works for you, that's fine". And yes, I do agree that some of it could have been written a little more respectfully.

I actually prefer 1 1/2 hr appts, especially with someone I haven't met before.  Since I only see someone with reviews or good word of mouth recommendations from experienced hobbyists I know that who I'm seeing offers what I'm looking for, so I like the extra 30 min to get to know each other and build some chemistry so that that 1 hr of fun is that much more enjoyable.

IF you find the element of men that the 1/2 attracts is up to your standards, have fun. I've heard too many negatives to believe it's anything other than a hassle and my personal style isn't the quick hump and dump anyways.

Personally, I don't think 1/2 hr. appts. would fall into the gfe category, more of the assemblyline mentality that some prefer. If that's your thing, cool, but I personally think it would be my nightmare.

i don't offer half-hours for multiple reasons, some of which have already been stated...it'd attract an undesirable sort of clientele; it takes just as much time, effort and expense to prepare for a half hour date as for an hour or more; it doesn't allow for a relaxation (before or after) period, etc.

but i don't believe a provider should be negatively judged simply because she offers half-hours, there are many reasons why a gal may find it beneficial to do so, it's just not my personal cuppa.

actually i don't offer any halfs...no 90 min, or 2 and a half hour stuff here. simply because it'd require me to be a bit more of a clockwatcher than i am, and that's just not me.

Since I'm desiring a totally GFE, and I can barely get my fill of the GFE menu in an hour, half hours are out of the question. I've been doing the hour long but, starting to save up my quarters for longer appointments, which will mean fewer.

An hour would be the absolute minimum for me to request. So far Ive only had 1.5 to 2 hour appointments, and they've all felt way too short!

from a financial perspective, which makes sense.
They are not the only legit providers that offer half hours, when practical.
Again, I think it is unfair to label them negatively ,or the hobbyists who utilize the shorter appointments.

I don't normally offer one-hour appointments, either.

As far as my experience goes, my gents and I have no trouble remaining amused for 3 hours or longer, and two hours is dangerously close to too short for one feature presentation and a fabulous encore. Half an hour? I haven't even taken off my stockings yet

A half hour is just not enough time. I need a minimum of at least one hour so I don't feel rushed.

Wait...I agree with you on this. What's funny is how some here say that 1/2 attracts a bad element.
    Well, I'd be happy with 1/2's since I am only with the lady for one reason.
    No matter how we get along during The "chat" part of our meeting neither of us are likely to want to get together for a regular date and strike up some kind of friendship and become drinking buddies and lovers, get married have a couple kids, a white picket fence, etc, etc.
It always seems to me that once the purpose of our meeting has been acomplished I'm ready to get on with my life in whatever form it may take depending on the time of our appointment.

Half hours are cheap..plain and simple. You will attract cheap guys who have seen other cheap girls and that to me is a risk. It also says high volume because if you want to make 1500 a week and you are charging 200 or 150 for half hours, then you have to see ten times the customers as someone with a 90 minute or two hour minimum.

I need at least an hour and a half and don't do the short notice thing unless I am traveling and have done my research. If I were a regular client and I had little time, maybe a discount on the package, but by no means less time.

to enjoy my time with the lady and I want her to enjoy her time with me.  The experience should be a win-win for both of us.  Recently I have begun to do 90 minute dates just so I don't feel rushed.

Well said, WaitASecond.  I prefer 90 minutes with a girl, but I have to save up my dollars for a while to afford it. Not all of us guys are rich.
