Please don't lose faith in my ability and willingness to flame people when they post something truly asinine. Your post does not fit that criteria.  

However, I will still opine.  

In my value system, I don't think it is right to ask for a discount because you were born on such and such day, and you want to hobby on that day. In fact its not right to ask for discount at all. Its cheap. Now, I do not mind negotiating a rate, when it warrants. I while back, when I achieved a personal goal, I had decided to reward myself with an extended date with someone whom I had seen before. Both the parties were open to negotiating the donation that was agreeable to both parties.  So we did. Both the parties (I and the provider) walked away happy...

In the past, I have been offered discounts for being a regular, and I did take advantage of them, but never asked for them...

It's your birthday and it truly is your special day! I think birthday treats whether it be a little off the regular rate or maybe an extended date is perfectly fine. We are people here and I think sometimes people lose sight that yes it is a sex board, but people are involved. Real people with real feelings, cares and concerns. I think it is a nice personal touch to show someone a little extra kindness on their birthday. Even in a client/provider relationship.

you basically label yourself as the guy who looks for specials.

Then the ladies who prefer gentlemen who gladly pay their entire rate -- they will avoid you.

The sad truth is that the bargain hunters almost NEVER turn into good clients... they are forever flitting after the latest "deal."

So, if you don't find too many high-quality ladies among the takers (the beautiful PalomaM aside) you might better understand why.

Thus ends my tutorial, LOL.

Bring some cake (or perhaps ask if she could accommodate this wish).
Then, have fun with the icing, spreading it over each other and licking it off.
You'd probably never look at a birthday cake the same way after that.

And I agree with others re b-day discounts, really doesn't make sense to me.
If a lady did that, half her clients might be guys celebrating their birthdays, lol! (unless she only made it a token goodwill discount of $20 or so, which in itself could be an interesting marketing strategy if she also offered some special birthday service like the cake idea...)

I booked a date but didn't mention it was my birthday until I arrived for the date. This was with a lady I had seen previously...maybe the biggest mistake of my hobbying life. She told me if I had informed her earlier she would have provided an extra friend gratis.

That said, I wouldn't look for discounts from a lady I've never seen before. I agree with the POV that men who appear to be seeking discounts or specials don't get the best experiences.

...just because it was my birthday. I spent 7 hours with a lovely lady on my last birthday and we had a very fun, fantastic day. (Thanks M.M.) What made the day so much fun was using the day as kind of a theme. She would ask me, "How about a _ _  birthday boy?!" Or, "How about we have a great ___ for your birthday?!"  So it was a celebration. She got gifts, I got treated royally like always by her, but the birthday theme just added a lot of fun and extra laughter. Fond memory.
