and no, I pay absolutely no attention at all. It's my preference that I am concerned about, not doubling the revenue for the lady.  

I prefer one hour visits, it gives me plenty of opportunity to "get to know her" I can easily "finish my business" without feeling rushed and I don't end up paying for a bunch of down time as at my "advanced age" it's tough for me to finish twice in a 90 minute or even 2 hour session.

I don't book 30 minute sessions as I would constantly be running over. It's just not enough time for me to really enjoy myself and if I am not going to enjoy myself, why even bother?

If what you are asking is do I see a provider who has a 2 hour min for a grand an hour on the first date the answer is never. In my mind no women is worth 2K for a first date. Just my thought you can do what you want that date is not the date I am looking for.

In the past every once in awhile I would do a 90 min first date since the price was close to what she charges for the hour.

I'm not looking for the provider who has a 6 hour minimum in NYC. These girl's do exist but I am not in that league and those type of dates don't interest me.  

If they have a 2 hour min I might send an email asking if they would mind doing an hour to see if we get along if the answer is no I move on. Most of my first dates in this world are for an hour.

I know a girl in Philly who I want to see who has first hour at 4 and a 3 hr package at 750 for three hours. That I would do as I find that would be a steal compared to the girl in NY who charges 8 for hour who look exactly the same.

Every situation is different how badly do I want to see this girl.  

Those are my thoughts.

..one hour is the way to go. Especially the first time.

Then tell me they only need one afternoon of my time during that month.  :-P

Oh and if he'd give me his credit card to pay for the hotel room on the day of our afternoon delight, that'd be the gentlemanly thing to do, IMO.  

In case anyone cannot tell, that was all said (written) sarcastically.  

 
As to my real preference?  When I'm at home, 1 hour is fine.  While I'm on the road, I prefer longer engagements.  
Don't ask me why, as I really don't have a simple answer; I just feel more flustered and rushed doing 1-hour dates while I'm on the road.

Make your offer.  If she declines, find another.

Generally she won't decline unless she can count on other bookings.  Why would somebody throw away $300?  I assume if their financial needs are already met, they'd go on a nice vacation.

And yes I've approached escorts who say 90 minutes is the minimum they'll do on a first date. I ask politely of they'd consider doing 60 instead of 90 and many times they'll agree to do the 60. I try to explain its a win win for both of us. If they say no, I simply move on.  

Enough time to chit chat for just a few minutes,  get you cleaned up and get down to the nitty gritty.   Unless you're a Viking. In which case all day and all night. It's a me  thing...you wouldn't understand  😉

2hr preference for new clients however...

it is not mandatory I do have an hour and ninety minute rate as well.But 2+hr is my favorite

Usually I prefer a 1 hour first date, but I've made exceptions when the provider gave a clear preference for 90 minutes or when I had a feeling based on my research that I'd be sorry if I scheduled only 1 hour.  The longest first date I've done with a provider is 90 mins.  No one I've seen stated a preference for a longer first date.

The longer the better for me.

I've had first time engagements for 4 days in London, which went swimmingly. But at a minimum I like two to three hours for the reasons Jaydalee stated. It's much better to have a little time together over a drink and an appetizer to build on the rapport we started via correspondence and ignite our chemistry; even better over a meal. I prefer this so much more that I eliminated my hour and 90 minutes long ago.

Is recommended by a trusted hobby friend, I will always start with one hour. Nothing is worse than having a session drag on for two hours when you're not connecting.  Otherwise, my preferred length is two hours and repeats are always at least two hours.

I actually did away with my one hour appointments in Michigan. I still do one hours on tour but overall, I prefer at least ninety minutes. Why? That way it's not rushed. I found that typically, 90% of guys booking an hour were either attempting to overstay or were overstaying. It's not fair to clients who book longer and it affects my schedule.  

Having that extra time, we can chat, maybe have some wine and get comfortable. There's ample time for two or maybe even three rounds, depending on the person.

From what I hear It does not matter if it is the first date second, third........ most ladies prefer 6 inches.

Some like to spend just one hour or two, and others like to do a dinner date of 4-6 hours with dinner/show/drinks/play. I am ok with whatever makes them comfortable and don't push it either way.
