I beg to differ.  A few ladies I've spoken to said it would be worth exploring as long as the clients were pre-screened.  Also, I've used priceline for hotels and car rental and have never had a problem.

I for one would never do it for I refuse to be seen at a lower rate

also there would be issues in not being able to verify that client at the last moment either.

I think for the all-out bargain-hunters, the priceline idea could suit them but, as others have said, 2 main issues -

** How many ladies would really do this, and would they be the kind of ladies most guys would want to see?  How would this work with Agency girls?  How would the men be pre-screened?

** Many guys, at least the ones here, are selective and don't want to go into a situation blind just because he got the best price or the most available or both.

If the idea for this service offered pre-screening, with points assigned to ladies seen, time spent, basically quality ratings for the guys in the kind of way we find here (ladies rate the guys!), more of the upscale and quality ladies might find an interest in this.  But still, in a blind match system a guy going in would want to know that he'll have at least a reasonable chance of liking the lady he ends up seeing - I don't mean stars I mean his "type".  What would help in that regard is a system like Amazon.com "people who liked this girl, also saw these girls" and the system could more automatically match the "best fit" of client and provider.  So for example if a guy saw girls A B and C then a guy who saw girl B might also like girls A and C.  Not that simple and straighforward, but possible.  TER's own database could do this, at least for the guys who've submitted reviews.

I personally wouldn't mind the girls rating me
