Why do some ladies choose to hide their rates deep in their website or not share that information on any of their ads or P411 page?
I've noticed quite a few ladies will say to refer to their website for rates or to contact them directly for rates.
Is there a reason for doing this?

As a potential client, who hates discussing rates, it's kind of irritating to have to jump through hoops just to discover what a respective lady's preferred donations are

I don't put rates in most ads because I want a potential new friend to go to my website to read the information there and my verification requirements. It's not reasonable to put all of that information in an ad. He can decide if he's comfortable. If he's not, it keeps both of us from wasting our time messaging back & forth.

My rates are very easy to find on my website. Ladies who don't list rates anywhere may be extra paranoid, may have variable rates, or may be playing games

Thanks for your insight Meena but I don't think it's unreasonable to put your expected donation for 1 or 2 hours in your ad.
That way, if I feel that your rates are higher than what I'm willing to pay, I don't waste time going to your website or being made to feel that I need to contact you for additional information.
If your goal is to not waste time messaging back and forth with someone who will never schedule with you, then why not just post your rate in your ad to weed out all the cheapos?

With all that said, I have been to your site and really appreciate the fact that your rates are easy to find and I do understand that from a marketing standpoint, you want to generate traffic to your website but as a man, when I look at an ad, I'm primarily looking for a pic and the donation

It has nothing to do with generating traffic for my website. I'm not trying to "weed out cheapos" as you put it. If someone chooses a different entertainment budget that doesn't necessarily mean they are "cheap".

You are missing one very important point. A huge number of men see photos and a rate they like, and just click to send a message without ever visiting the lady's site - so they never see the screening requirements. Most often, that is a waste of both of our time. I still have to direct them to my site. Putting my rates in my ad doesn't solve that problem.

It only takes one click to go to my website and one click to see my rates page. Two clicks. I'm making sure potential clients have all the information in one place (my site) to make their decision.

If a lady is on TER, her current rates are (usually) listed on her profile.  

Another very good reason some ladies don't put their rates in their ads is because if she changes her rates, she then has to hunt down ALL of those old ads (and the old ads copied by other unauthorized sites) and try to change the rates listed on ALL of them. If she doesn't do that, she will have to field endless inquiries about what her rates are. She may also have to deal with clients bringing the wrong donation to appointments. It is much easier to only list rates on her personal site.

Even though I still prefer to see an ad with a hot pic along with the lady's current rates listed, you make a lot of great points as to why some may choose to refer potential clients to their websites.  
My frustration still comes from those who require me to inquire about their rates or make it difficult to locate them on their website. I guess I'm just too old and too lazy and just want everything spelled out for me on one page.

As to your other point about large quantities of men messaging you without knowing your screening requirements; well, that's gonna happen regardless because you're fucking hot! There are a ton of lonely dudes out there who get a kick out of asking dumb ass questions to providers in the hopes of striking up a conversation with them; kinda like how I just did tonight. Lol

Thanks Meena!

Maybe some other ladies will chime in with other reasons they post or don't post rates on their ads. Their perspective might be different than mine.

I want potential dates to give my website a read through before contacting me, I created so they can get the best idea possible of what spending time with me is like, and what I expect and require for that to happen. That includes rates, which I list clearly on my site. For me personally, I want the donation aspect not to take away from the overall experience and feel that having my rates in one place vs plastered everywhere helps with that. There is also information on my site about screening and etiquette I want all who wish to contact me to familiarize themselves with before doing so. I feel that for serious clients, regardless if an engagement with me is in their budget or not, having all information about me and my expectations readily ascessable in one place is appreciated so they can make an informed choice

I thoroughly understand what you are saying Ava but my point is this and I'm only speaking for myself here but as an extremely horny man with a short attention span, I base my decision as to whether or not I even want to go to your website and learn more about you upon the pics in your ad and the current rates you have listed there.

If I'm at all interested based on the info in your ad, I'll then go to your respective website and thoroughly research you (i.e. reading reviews, reading your FAQ, etiquette and screening guidelines, etc...) before wasting your time and ever contacting you.

But again, I totally agree with you and Meena that by having a singular up to date website containing all of your information is very helpful. I guess the other point I'm trying to make is that for me personally, if I don't see either a pic or a rate listed in a lady's ad, I'll just move on to the next one.
With both you and Meena, your pics intrigued me enough to want to go to your profile and websites and take the time to learn more about you but I still see many ads from ladies who poorly market themselves and probably miss out on a lot of potential business...

I have to agree. I totally understand Meena and Ava's points. Actually never thought about how many other websites will just basically steal and post old ads with old rates. However, when I do go to the individuals website, the the two things that will keep me from calling are the website that says call for rates and the website that forces you to join another website to see the ladies pics.

If a lady expects me to call for rates, I'll just move on. Why the secrecy?  
Before I ever make contact with a lady, I like to have all their basic information readily available.
As to your other point, I agree, if I have to join your site or go through some suspicious screening process just to see your photos, I'm moving on to the next one...

No disrespect

It's a pet peeve and one that has made me pass over quite a few ladies.

Because its on my profile.  Takes on click. Also, when you say "hides deep in their website" what does that mean?  I mean,  isn't there a page devoted to donations?  Do you have to get a password to view the rates? I guess I'm just not understand how deep in the website you mean.  
I agree though,  I'd like for guys to look at my entire website before contacting me Although my rates are obviously on mine, p411 and here.
I'm sure you check reviews don't you? Why not just look at the providers ter profile?  I've never seen a ter profile with the rates not listed.  
Hope this helps!

I'm not referring to well established ladies like yourself TL who do have their rates clearly listed a click away.
I'm referring to ladies who either do not post their rates or photos in their ads and who usually do not have any TER reviews or do not have them linked to their profile.

Believe it or not, some ladies do not have their rates clearly listed on their website or it takes some guess work to find them.
Like I said, I'm just a lazy old fuck who has first world problems who picked this forum to complain about them on.

I can understand that as I'm one that really doesn't like to discuss rates either

While it is nice to have the information in the ad.  It is not a big deal to me if it is a click or two away to find the information.  Personally after viewing an ad that might of of interest.  The next thing I do is look at the TER review page.  Then if I am still interested I will go to the providers website.

I will cross a provider off the list if I go to their website and can't find the prices.  Or if it simply says call me.  I also don't like it when some providers try to get too creative with their pricing and it is not clear what an engagement will really run.  However these seem to be the exception.  Not the rule.  I find that most providers I have been interested in have websites that are fairly clear and straight forward.

Thanks both!

or by the website rate if there is no rate in the ad.

I don't find it difficult at all to find rates on 99%+ of websites. If the website says "call me" for rates, I pass.

Simple. 1 or 2 clicks. Never an issue.  

Do you have a few sample sites that are so difficult?

You're right, the majority of ladies do have their rates easily accesible within a few clicks.

I recently came across a couple of sites from ladies who were from states outside of GA that had menu options that kept me guessing as to which one led to her rates.

For example, there would be several menu buttons that said "Indulge", "Spoil", "Expectations", etc... but none of those led me to the lady's rates. Lol

It was so fucking frustrating.
Her rates were listed under some french word...

Like I said before, I'm just ranting because I'm lazy and like shit spelled out for me sometimes.

no need for more examples!  

I like original websites and being able to see some of the gal's character in them, but too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing....

I take pride in presenting myself in what hopefully comes off as an interesting and professional manner. If a lady presents herself in a way that is questionable to you, then I agree it is on her to market herself better. I definitely agree that not posting rates AT ALL is a poor choice, because it's asking for LE and hagglers. I view my ads as a taste of what spending time with me might be like. The website is designed specifically for potential clients to decide if I'm what they are looking for, and to answer any difficult questions about rates and protocol so our communication can be as natural as possible.  

Thank you for the compliment!
