I bet you asked for a special when you bought the car! lol. The sticker price on the car is not the price you have to pay. Buy a used car at a place not called carmax and you can easily negotiate the more cash that you use in the transaction.  
   
 Home have loan modification...they don't want you to default. Purposely miss payments and you can get reduced rates.  
   
 Cable companies offer up more affordable prices when you threaten to cancel. Department stores can give you discounts at the register is you willing to buy several items and tell them it's a little out of range and ask do they have 15-10% off.  
   
   
   
 You serving up false equivalents. The provider equivalent is going to Dennys and asking for a special after you placed your order. Juts sayin....

Re: I'm special everyday  
 I wish I could ask my mortgage, car payment, student loans and other obligations for specials..haha (no pun intended)  
     
  I think that if ladies decided to run those specials they posted on their advertisement, p411, and websites... but personally I feel is tacky for a GENTLEMAN to ask me that question, and honestly a BIG turn off.

Just wondering what your thoughts are? Is it bad etiquette or rude to ask a provider if she is currently running any specials after you have been screened? I know a lot of providers do. Sometimes they post them on there ad's on TER sometimes on there website but not always. Not trying to be cheap as for the most part it wont effect my booking unless I am on the fence between a couple ladies. Thoughts?

Thanks for your input Veronica that why I asked. Hope I haven't offended any providers in the past as it was definitely not my intent.

You can buy discounted houses, discounted cars, and get better rates on student loans all of which are a special, so those are bad examples.

Services run specials all the time.  Don't tell me when you go to buy a car that you don't ask for a better price.  

Totally understand ladies thinking it's tacky, but don't think it should be considered offensive.  

My 2 cents...............

I don't think it is rude to ask politely.   I think that our excellent providers here are very sensitive about clients attempting to negotiate on fees or trying to chisel a rate down and justifiably so.

But that to me seems very different from asking nicely a about a possible special and taking no for an answer if that is the case.

Eh.
I don't ever have "specials" so I would be annoyed if someone asked *me*.

But for people who do post them, particularly if you've seen one RECENTLY, I don't see anything wrong with mentioning you saw a special and ask about it politely.

...I'm not running any top secret 'bcd' specials on top of that.  
Wait for the lady to let you know if she's running any.

If you see an ad, it is ok to ask...past that it is sort of a buzz kill.   Basically, it is can I value our time together a little less?  Is there a blue light instead of a red one today?  Can I have the lesser experience than the best?  That being said once you have met someone for a while as a regular some ladies grandfather or are willing to give frequent flyer points.  Advanced pre-books that actually happen as planned or certain mutual memberships to verification sites also can be discounted if posted that way.  

I grandfather for a period of time if the person is a regular friend...50-100 off on longer dates if registered with P411...and sometimes I offer a special if I am running slow or pre-booked dates cancel.  Overall, I stick to my routine...and prefer not to discuss it at all.   Honestly, my best friends usually leave a little extra...not less.  

Do appreciate that overhead for a quality experience in the D.C. Area is tres cher! I like top shelf, name brands, original small business crafts, and polished hygiene.  It adds up!

Just wanted to try to help you feel through the thought through our eyes.  And agreed, that ducks usually pester and even get aggressive in their questioning and insisting.  You are not at all doing or suggesting that.

Man I feel like a dick now.....

how would you feel if after we booked a date we sent a quick text as you were on your way over saying. "i know you love my blowjobs, but i just really dont want to give any today... " then you say, "hmm ok.. then maybe we should postpone.. " and she says, "oh nah.. thats ok.. ill give the blowjob."

isnt that sexy? ;)
xo

Warren Buffett & Bill Gates gets free McDonald's.  

Other Rich people get free stuff simply to review products and/or hope they post about it on social media. Tim cook gave out quite a few apple watches for free...All to rich people.

Everyone talks about the supposed high income around DC.....Maybe upon income verification and/or social media influence maybe guys will tell people/shill to increase providers demand word of mouth or outright bold on a large scale level. I'm not sure how well this would work for providers, but it works in most every other business.

You and a few other clients responding as if providers are commodities, not actual people providing services.

I've found that there's an attitudinal correlation between the client who asks us for unadvertised discounts and the client who finds it difficult to relate to us as human beings exactly because of the rationale you cite- sex workers as commodities.

Just like you would not enjoy your time with a provider who made it clear they considered you just a wallet with a dick (I'm assuming?), I would really hate to be trapped in a room with someone who saw me as less than a full time human (who also happens to be a sex worker). I need to be enjoying myself in order to provide good service, and I can only enjoy myself if I feel respected by my client. I offer incentives for charitable donations and for deposits at time of booking when on tour, but I don't "discount" my services.

As far as word of mouth "advertising" is concerned, I mean, if clients were telling all their friends and work colleagues perhaps that strategy would work, but I've encountered very few clients that are that open and I think you know why.

I think you're making a good point but different people are in this for different reasons -- and as I suspect those who see providers more as the commodity, or merely a means to their ends, will always be present as such behavior is not well tolerated in non P4P world -- the girl friend/wife walks (or really start spending the cash).

That said, you do know many of us hobbyists have said we get that a lot of providers just see us ATMs, right in line with your "wallet with a dick" metaphor. And the reality is some do -- and I don't care as long as they are good at the illusion while I'm with them.

Agree 100 percent   if yiu want a commodity go to the sex store and buy a sex doll.  The providers are real people not a commodity .

maybe it's the celeb status of the guys instead of the money, but her marketing plan is quite nice. It depends on how ladies operate but the most prolific provider that leveraged pop culture is Jenna Shea. Dudes being associated with her make ya think damn....maybe I'd drop some coin to try it out!

it's not commodification....it's that I see how thing operate through social media. Seems like every other lady on social media has a premium snap chat for nudes at the very least.

and leave it at that. If she is offering a discount that is clearly stated on her website as her current rate then I'll take advantage of the discount but that's more likely if it's multi hour appointments. Many times  I see p411 discounts of $20 off hourly rate. In those instances  I just pay the regular rate.

 I would never consider asking that question of any lady  I see.  

However, the issue you mentioned about the information posted on their site has been my experience as well. That is, the info is NOT always clear.

We all appreciate your thoughts!

This is the USA! Only slaves...black slaves were not treated as human in the USA. Save the theatrics for someone else. I never meet a well paid slave/commodity. I'm just not one for false equivalents and posturing on the boards.  

Commanding the price of a smart phone for a one time event is not a commodity....it's a premium as providers services vary by prices so it's not a journey to find the cheapest provider.  

 
Nothing against any providers....but money, being clean, and following the rules/limits is the only requirement for most dudes. Guys are the commodity as we are easily replaced with an overbook or the next guy, lol.

I feel like you should've done your research about a provider offering a discount before contacting her, not after

Just look on her most recent advert or website. Do your due diligence.  
If you notice that she is making it public that a special is being offered, by all means, inquire. If you find that the special offer is >1 month old, it's best to assume that the offer is no longer valid.
If there have been no mentions of a special within the last month, it's best to hold your tongue.  
Discussing rate is always in poor taste and a red flag in my book. I prefer no mention of it at any point, whether we are communicating verbally or electronically. When I'm asked to confirm my rate (or for a special rate), I immediately feel like my website hasn't been looked over, like a gentleman hasn't put much thought into his decision to book me. Due diligence is key!

But I support a client's right to negotiate...If she says "yes" client wins. She says "no" you wasn't going to see her at regular price anyways.  

If a lady is out of range...What's the harm in asking? But as I said once you place your order by providing info the window is closed, imo!

A $1000hr lady...Even if she never had a special a day in her life. Just ask "Hey are you still running the $800hr special...I'd like to see you this week" Now, Worse case she says no and you move on cause the price is not right. What's the harm in that?
