...her rates because I'd have no need to look at her website/ads. It would be up to her to tell me that she increased her rates. If she tells me, I'd assume she wants an increase. If she doesn't mention it, that would mean I'm grandfathered.
My favorite lady has raised her rates 25% since I first began seeing her less than a year ago.
We've had about 5 or 6 dates and she seems to enjoy my company. I certainly do hers!
My question: Do I let her know I've noticed the change and ask if I'm grandfathered to my original rate? Or, mention nothing and pay the new rate? Thanks.
If so, I would pay the new rates, since they're reasonable and you really enjoy her company. Why make her choose to take less money when she decides to see you vs someone else?
If her new rates are significantly more than what comparable providers charge in your area, then you might ask her about being grandfathered. But there's a risk she won't react well to that question and it will adversely affect the great thing you have going with her.
My ATF has raised her rates twice in the past 3 years. Each time she told me, without my asking, that I could pay the old rate. But I paid her going rate. It's in line with the market, she's one of the top providers in my area and we have a great time together (well, I have a great time anyway--she seems to also). She is also hard working (has 2 other jobs, and kids and a home) and is generous with her OTC time with me when she has some free time--which isn't often! I think she deserves to be paid her full rate.
I think it would depend on just how bad you want to see her; there is a lot of competition out there. If she is your ATF, then I would pay the new rate and not say anything; if you were on the fence about seeing her, then I would not hesitate to let her know that the newer rate is somewhat of a problem and you are going to explore other options.....in a very respectful, nice way of course.
As "envelop" implied, hard to give you advice when we dont know the rate your paying, what the new rate will be, even the city you're in would be helpful to know if you have alternatives. Also 5 or 6 times in less than a year. Does that mean once every other month? Or something else. And to a number of providers that might not even qualify as a regular.
So with the little info you've given the board, I'd say pay the new amount and let her know the new amount is in envelop. Then see how she reacts.

Major metro area.
2 hour minimum.
She was $400 per hr and now $500.
Fabulous experience. I'll pay it.
Though, not see her as often.
There are many other ladies saw one last week and I'm seeing a new one next week.
Thanks for all the replies.
her rate from $300 to $500. I love her dearly and am happy to pay it. But the result is I just can't see her as often as I'd like to.
...her rates because I'd have no need to look at her website/ads. It would be up to her to tell me that she increased her rates. If she tells me, I'd assume she wants an increase. If she doesn't mention it, that would mean I'm grandfathered.
…I raise rates for my own customers when necessary and don't cut everyone a deal. Maybe a favored customer gets a break – but I decide that. Business is business. The lady needs to deal with inflation, rent increases, fuel prices, and every other expense just like her clients do so I don't ask for lower rates. The women I visit are professionals just like my attorney and accountant and like them just expect I am going to honor their hourly rate. (I admit I do not visit the same escort frequently so maybe there are options for weekly regulars.)
If she moves out of my price range then good for her - glad to see she is doing well! At least two of my former playmates have gone on to better things and deserve the rates they charge – just glad I got to visit when they were starting out with beach head pricing.
IMHO this business depends on client-provider, provider-provider, and provider-client referrals and references. What kind of provider-provider reference will the person who asks for lower rates get? My theory is that the client who discusses money is not going to get the “You should call my friend Sally” referrals either. I really love those “you should call my friend” referrals
at least for a while...like the the rent increases in major cities. Also good business practice I suppose...I do not look at it that way. Many hobbiests offer more as they have some to value my time more over time. It is endearing...like getting a tip that is above and beyond expectations.
her rate, she said it didn't apply to me and it was ok. I did the new donation rate anyways. will they prioritize the higher rate ones more and value the lower rate ones less??? you don't want to be in the group. I want to be valued and prioritized more. I brought the new rate. and low and behold she gave me an extra half hour each time. appreciation and valuing goes along way.
I'll pay her current rate, unless she tells me that I've been grandfathered into her old rate. Up until recently, only one of the providers that I've been seeing has raised her rate, but she was on the low side for her particular city. I'll be traveling through her city later this year and plan to see her again. So, I'll soon find out whether I've been grandfathered or not
it's the scottsman in me, sorry.
but if i'm not, and i consider the lady worth it, i'll pay.
i am very, very lucky, i have many atf's that have not raised their rates on me for years now.
however i have a brand new atf that raised her rate to what i consider astronomical (very high end elite prices vis a vis the market) after only 2 meetings with her. but she is so out of this world spectacular in providing her services, i happily pay the extra money.
this lady was business savvy enough to send out a mass email to her clients, explaining her rates were going up and she would not grandfather anyone, because she felt awkward having to turn down new business at new rates because she'd already booked a grandfathered client at a lower rate. she is right, what business stays in business doing that
